Chapter 20


    Chapter: 20


    “I''m sorry, Grandpa. But | really need to leave now. There’s something | must attend to immediately. Don’t worry. I''ll visit you


    again whenever I’m free. Bye.” Chelsea then rushed out of the house without a backward nce.


    As soon as the door was shut, Ethan hit Edmund''s knee with his crutch.


    He roared angrily. “Chelsea cut all ties with this family because of your bad behavior. However, | managed to keep in contact with


    her while she was abroad for your sake. | purposely summoned you here because she said that she wasing to visit me. | did


    that so you two can meet and maybe patch things up. But you made her leave in a hurry. I’ve had it up to here with you! Listen,


    and Listen good. No matter how everyone tries to paint Diane as a good woman, |’ll never ept her as my granddaughter-in-


    law. Chelsea is the best! She’s the only woman for you. You’d better try to win her heart back now that she’s back in the country!”


    After giving Edmund a piece of his mind, Ethan slowly walked away with the aid of his crutch. He was fed up with his grandson''s


    nonchnce.


    Edmund held his knee and gritted his teeth in pain. However, the pain was nothingpared to the shock he felt after hearing


    his grandfather’s words. It dawned on him that Chelsea didn’te here to get close to him. Instead, his grandfather had


    arranged the meeting


    His eyes fell on the gift box that was on the table. He realized that he was wrong all along.


    The scarf Chelsea had picked at the shop earlier today wasn’t for Ondo. He had only insulted her because he thought it was


    for her new man. Now that he realized who the scarf was for, he couldn’t help but admit that it was a good choice.


    Regret filled Edmund’s heart when he realized that he had misunderstood Chelsea twice. After beating himself up for a while, he


    walked out.


    Chelsea was standing in front of the vi. She was trying to order an Uber on her phone. But there weren’t any rides around this


    ce, taxis neither. It was on a remote hillside.


    Edmund watched as she paced back and forth on the sidewalk for some minutes. Afterward, he walked up to her and said, “You


    won''t get a taxi here. Let me drive you back.”


    Throughout the four years that they had known each other, Edmund never took the initiative to show Chelsea an atom of


    kindness. This was the first time.


    Chelsea was always the one who yed the bigger person whenever they had conflicts. She tried to make peace with him even


    though he was usually the one at fault.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    ALL that Edmund did during such times was to give her the silent treatment. Sometimes, he would refuse to eat at home.


    As a softhearted person, Chelsea couldn’t stand the suffocating atmosphere. She always had to let go of her dignity and plead


    with him.


    Those times had passed. Chelsea was shocked by his kind gesture, but it didn’t soften her hard heart now. “No, thank you.”


    With these words, she took two steps away from Edmund as if he was a gue. She wanted to make it clear to him that she had


    no feelings whatsoever for him.


    “Chelsea!” Edmund called her name anxiously and held her hand.


    Chelsea turned to look at him in shock. Unfazed by her frown, he continued, “I’m sorry for speaking to you in that manner...”


    Edmund was epting that he was wrong to have assumed that she came here to see him and for insulting her fashion sense at


    the clothing shop. He realized that he read meaning to irrelevant things.


    It was so shocking that the almighty Edmund was apologizing. In the past, Chelsea would have been ttered. But the old her


    was Long gone. She was not moved by his apology at all.


    She looked into his eyes and said calmly, “| ept your apology. Can you Let go of me now?”


    Edmund quickly Let go of her with embarrassment.


    Chelsea moved away from him again. She lowered her head and continued to refresh the Uber app to see if there was any ride


    close to her now. Unwilling to back down, Edmund unlocked his car with the remote and said to her, “Get in the car. You and I


    know that you won’t get any taxi or Uber here. Why waste your time when you can just hitch a ride with me?”


    “No, I''ll pass on that. | can walk to a ce where I''d be able to order a ride or hail a taxi. Please leave me alone.” Chelsea put


    away her phone and stared at him firmly.
