“Didn''t she tell you what kind of ident she had?” Edmund asked, just when Luka mounted the podium.
Diane clenched her fists under the table. Her jealousy spiked up. Edmund''s tone was formal, but she felt that he was genuinely
worried about Chelsea.
She was surprised at herself for feeling that way. After all, it was no secret that Edmund loathed Chelsea. She tried to banish the
jealous thoughts from her mind. But a voice continued to tell her that Edmund actually cared about Chelsea.
Fixing the microphone close to his mouth, Luka replied slowly, “Well, | didn’t ask her. Since she didn’t mention it, | didn’t want to
pry. | think it''s best to respect her privacy.”

death anniversary. The cemetery was in the suburbs. Chelsea had rushed to the suburbs Last night in hopes that she would be
able to make it back in time for the meeting after visiting her mother.

Chelsea survived the ident with a mere scratch, but the paramedic in the ambnce insisted on taking all the passengers to
the hospital. The checkup was taking time, so Chelsea knew she couldn''t make it to the meeting.

Chelsea, so he wanted to confirm if it was true.

match for these men.
