“Why do you suddenly care about her preferences?” Yusuf asked with a smile. Edmund pressed his lips together, and Yusuf finished candidly, “You need to carefully crosscheck your heart and find out the exact feelings you have for Chelsea.”
Those closely involved in a relationship could not see as vividly as those outside. As bystanders, Yusuf and Chris could both notice the change in Edmund's attitude to Chelsea, however, Edmund himself had not. Being his good friends, they had to point this out to Edmund to make him see his heart clearly. They didn’t want him to lose Chelsea again.
Edmund glanced at the two but chose to remain silent.
The two of them remained silent as well. They all knew that Edmund seldom expressed his true emotions. He was the sort of man who kept his feelings to himself.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYusuf commented on Edmund's character in his mind. He appreciated how calm he was. But the truth was, inside his heart, thunder was rolling. He was simply good at pretending.
Before the dinner was over, Alena called Edmund. Edmund hadn't answered Alena’s phone call the whole day. She had rung him up several times. Knowing she would find this rude, he chose to answer it now.
Before he could ask her what it was about, she exclaimed, “Edmund, there is a charity dinner this weekend.” At the mention of an event, a frown creased Edmund's forehead. “I can’t attend the party. | am quite busy at present.”
Edmund knew the plan that was stirring in Alena’s mind. She definitely wanted him to take Diana as his female companion and then strengthen his connection with her!
Since he had made his mind clear to Philip, he saw no reason to agree to such an arrangement.
Alena was shocked to hear this. After a short pause, she went on, “I would like you to take Sonya to the party so that she can meet soutstanding men.”
Edmund wasn’t buying this lie. “Is that so?” he asked with a tinge of mockery.
Alena sighed again and said, “Didn’t you say that she was thoughtless and always made trouble? | think it would be best for her to find someone suitable to marry rather than suffer in abroad.”
Edmund was amused by his mother’s words. Alena was suggesting he take Sonya to the party. If he agreed, the person who would go with him would be Diane, not Sonya. He knew this for a fact.
Besides, his mother did everything she could to stop Sonya from going abroad. She even intended to find a match for Sonya in Vertoak.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut Sonya had a bad reputation in the city. People knew she changed her boyfriend as frequently as she changed her clothes. No decent man would volunteer to marry her.
Sonya and Alena were quite picky and wouldn't settle for a man from an ordinary family. So, it wouldn’t be easy to get Sonya married.
Edmund took a deep breath and said calmly, “Mom, | have to disagree here. | think you have more chances of finding an excellent man for Sonya than | do. You should take up the responsibility of Sonya’s marriage. | am pretty sure | don’t have a suitable candidate for her.” In short, he had kindly rejected to take Sonya with him.
Truth be told, the men he knew had outstanding disposition. None of them deserved to be punished to marry Sonya!
Before his mother could argue, he said, “I’m still having dinner with my friends. Talk to you later.”
After Edmund hung up the phone, Yusuf asked, “Is the charity dinner your mother mentioned the one of the film association? If that’s the one, | am pretty sure Chelsea will be there.”
Edmund, who hadn’t thought of this, was rendered speechless Chris quickly echoed his opinion, “I think so too. Since she is a scriptwriter, she will definitely attend such an event.”
Edmund couldn’t help as snegative thoughts crawled to his head. If Chelsea was going, she would definitely go as Luka’s female companion.
