Yusuf strode to the table and took a bite of the toast that Diane brought.
“Eww! This tastes awful! | hate to break it to you, Edmund. Your girlfriend is a terrible cook. She doesn’t stand a chance if her
cooking ispared to Chelsea’s. How do you intend to survive? You might starve to death!” Yusuf’s face was twisted in a
frown. The next second, he grabbed a piece of tissue and spat out a mouthful in it.
During the time Edmund was married to Chelsea, Chris, Yusuf, and his other friends asionally came over to his house to
have dinner. They always ate to their fill because the meals were just so tasty. In Yusuf’s opinion, Chelsea had the potential to be
a food blogger. Her cooking was Like nothing he had ever tasted.
The first bite from the toast made Yusuf realize why Edmund had left it untouched. He must have known how Diane’s cooking
was.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.
Yusuf sat at the edge of the bed and asked, “Hey, snap out of it. What''s on your mind?”
Edmund had been out in space until his friend touched him. Instead of responding, he just turned to Look at theptop with
mixed feelings in his heart.
“Are you going to ignore me now? Or did you call me over under the guise of discussing business because you didn’t want to
stay here with Diane? You sneaky bastard!” Yusuf eximed and gave him a yful punch.
Edmund held his punched arm and said impatiently, “Can’t you see that I’m not feeling well? I’m in a bad mood now. | just want
to be left alone.”
Yusuf continued to tease him. ““He-he! So, you admit that you are avoiding her? How do you intend to marry her since you are
already tired of her?”
“Who says | am going to marry Diane?” Edmund fired with a frown.
Yusuf opened his arms dramatically.
“Everyone! It’s widespread news in Vertoak that you two are going to tie the knot soon. Don’t tell me you had no idea about this.
Have you been in a hole? Jeez! Diane even issued an official statement to the public. The news was reported by all the media
organizations in this city.”
Of course, Edmund knew that it was rumored that he would be getting married to Diane. But he never addressed the rumor, nor
proposed marriage to Diane.
“Come on, dude. Since you don’t want to marry Diane, why don’t you man up and tell her?” Yusuf asked curiously.
“It''s not as easy as you think!” Edmund spat, rolling his eyes.
“Yeah, you''re right. Mr. Stevenson will be furious if he finds out that you don’t want his daughter. He might call for your head if
care is not taken.” Yusufughed hysterically.
Diane was from a rich and powerful family. Her father was the president of a well-known foreign bank and had a close business
rtionship with variouspanies home and abroad.
Edmund’s mom, Alena was a power-hungry woman. Putting in mind the connections the Nelson family could get from the
Stevensons, she favored Diane over Chelsea.
After all, what did Chelsea bring to them after the marriage? Absolutely nothing! Instead, they were the ones that supported her
family.
Four years ago, thepany managed by Chelsea’s family was on the brink of bankruptcy because of the dereliction of duty of
her father and brother. Her marriage to Edmund saw to it that her family received funding from the Nelson family for a long time.
Instead of working to regain thepany’s former glory, her father and brother spent money Like water. They kepting back
to ask for more. This annoyed Alena so much.
She punished Chelsea for the sins of her family. Whenever the opportunity arose, she made sure to mention that the Williams
family was living off the wealth of the Nelson family.
Turning his head to look out of the window, Edmund said confusedly, “I previously thought that Diane was the one for me. She’s
good and my family loves her...”
“Why then did you change your mind?” Yusuf asked curiously. Without waiting for a response, he quipped, “Could it be that your
feelings for her died because you realized you couldn''t live without Chelsea?”
