Chapter: 31 “Oh my! What just happened, Edmund?”
Chris’s shock changed to amusement within seconds. He plopped himself in his seat and was about to laugh. But when he saw Edmund's sullen face, he bit his lower Lip to prevent himself.
Gritting his teeth, Edmund took out the dollar bill and squeezed it in anger. He gave his friend a cold look and stormed out of the Office.
Once the door got shut, Chris made a phone call to Yusuf to gossip. “Guess who Edmund just brought to my office at the hospital?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Chelsea?” Yusuf guessed without hesitation. “Huh? How did you know? Did you already know that she was back in town?” Chris was surprised.
“Of course, | knew that she was back. | also witnessed her scold Edmund to the extent that he was short of words. | couldn’t believe my eyes,” Yusuf responded.
Chris burst into laughter. After he regained his composure, he told Yusuf about what happened in his office a few minutes ago. He made sure to tell it dramatically.
“Chelsea has really changed. Something tellsthat she would continue to treat him like this. She will make sure to drive our friend nuts,” Yusuf said with a hint of gloat.
“Why is her behavior having such an effect on him? Shouldn't he be grateful that she’s no longer throwing herself at him?” Chris asked in confusion.
Yusuf explained, “I also thought he would be happy with the development. But he was so pissed and he thinks she’s playing hard to get.”
Chris was speechless.
After thinking for a while, he said slowly, “The way | see it, she’s not playing hard to get. | think she just doesn’t want to have anything to do with him.”
“Yes, | think so too. But our friend thinks otherwise.” Yusuf agreed, snapping his fingers.
Chris’s eyebrows raised. He asked, “You think so too? Why didn’t you tell Edmund that his assumption was wrong? At least, he would get his mind off Chelsea once he realizes that.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHolding his forehead, Yusuf responded, “Gosh! You talk as if you don’t know how he is. Do you really think he would see reasons withif | told him my opinion? Chelsea sucked up to him for three long years. She built her whole life around him and did everything to please him. As far as Edmund is concerned, she couldn’t have gotten over him in just a year. He feels that she still loves him. Well, | don’t blhim. I’d have thought the sway if | were in his shoes.”
Everyone close to the former couple knew how much Chelsea had invested herself into making sure their marriage worked. As a result, it was hard to believe that she had no interest in Edmund now.
“But why is Edmund so keen on making sure that Chelsea no longer plays hard to get? He always wanted to get rid of her. Isn’t he supposed to get married to Diane soon?” Chris further queried, as his confusion increased.
Rumors were making rounds that wedding bells were ringing for Diane and Edmund. They had been dating for a long time, so many people expected them to make their union legal soonest.
Yusuf answered innocently, “I have no idea why he’s so bothered. You know, one can hardly read his mind.”
Love was like drinking alcohol. Only the person who drank it could get drunk.
With a doubtful tone, Chris commented, “I don’t think he loves Diane that much.”
“What do you mean?” Yusuf asked curiously.
“Don’t you get it? Why did Edmund get married to Chelsea as soon as he broke up with Diane over three years ago? | don’t think he married her because his grandfather forced him to after he had sex with her. Edmund is a very stubborn man. No one can force him to do anything against his will.”
