Capítulo 209


    Chelsea’s appearance today actually took Edmund’s breath away. But he had the urge to keep her body away from the eyes of


    other men. He feared that they would make passes at her because of her dress. He cared about her safety. But he couldn’t help


    blurting out those harsh words.


    It was typical of him. Regret filled his heart at this moment. A remorseful glint shone in his eyes. He felt so frustrated.


    Edmund couldn’t understand why he made so many mistakes whenever he appeared in front of Chelsea. No one had made him


    so frustrated and confused in his thirty-two years of life.


    Yusuf patted him on the shoulder and uttered earnestly, “Friendly advice, you have to be careful with your words and actions


    from now on. You shouldn''t treat Chelsea like you did in the past. Otherwise, your rtionship will get worse.”


    Yusuf then walked away to go make new friends, giving Edmund room to think things through.


    After ruminating on his friend’s advice for a while, Edmund raised his head and downed the content of his ss. He had just


    finished gulping it when he saw Diane walking toward him.


    Diane had spent almost an hour in the bathroom. She called Sonya several times, but she got no response. She had no choice


    but toe out with her heart beating fast.


    ALL she had in mind was to avoid those Ladies and go to look for Sonya. To her dismay, they saw her as soon as she got out.


    They beckoned to her to join them again.


    Diane gritted her teeth. She was sick of them. On impulse, she decided to meet Edmund instead.


    It was a good escape from thosedies and also an excellent opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with Edmund.


    After shing them a faint smile, she majestically walked towards her so-called fiancé.


    Diane watched as Chelsea left with a long face. Edmund too was frowning like he had a fight with Chelsea. Diane breathed a


    sigh of relief. It excited her to see that Edmund and Chelsea were not on good terms with each other.


    Holding up her skirt hem, she hurried over to Edmund. He looked at her coldly and asked, “What is it?”


    Diane''s eyes reddened. She pleaded with Edmund in a soft tone, “Edmund, we need to talk, please.”


    Edmund took another nce at her and walked out of the hall. Diane followed him. The moment she stood still as they got to the


    garden, outside the hall, she began to sob. “Edmund, | acknowledge my mistake. | promise never to disturb Chelsea again.”


    Edmund replied unconcernedly, “This has nothing to do with Chelsea. It is about you and me.”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    This made Diane cry harder. Edmund continued, “Diane, we had a rtionship in the past. Four years ago, we broke up. | tried


    to get back with you after my divorce, but | found out we were notpatible.”


    Four years was a long time. Enough time for the emotions between a couple to fade away. Edmund''s words were totally


    uneptable to Diane. She lurched at Edmund, grabbed him tightly by his arm, and cried, “Edmund, | can’t live without you! I’LI


    do anything you want me to do. I''ll change if you need me to do so.”


    Diane held on firmly to Edmund, but Edmund pushed her hands away from him without emotions and left with his mind made up.


    Raising her hands to cover her face, Diane burst into tears. She had broken up with Edmund and then gone into the


    entertainment industry with so much excitement. She expected Edmund to wait for her but he didn’t. If she had known, she’d


    have married him earlier, instead of breaking up with him. Unfortunately, some things could not be changed


    Her tears had ruined her makeup, so she decided to go fix it in the bathroom. As she got into the bathroom, she ran into Chelsea


    who had just washed her hands and was about to Leave.


    Diane''s face was stained with tears and this surprised Chelsea. Her impression of Diane was that of steady mour, elegance,


    and dignity. Why did she look different today? It wasn’t something she should be concerned about anyways, so she turned to


    walk away.


    Seeing Chelsea, Diane remembered the embarrassment she just experienced and this put her in a rage. She Lunged at Chelsea


    and pulled her. “Stop there!”


    Chelsea almost fell to the floor from Diane’s pull, but she stood her ground and instead, shook off Diane’s hand. “Are you


    insane?” Chelsea asked Diane in anger. She had avoided them throughout the night. She only exchanged a few words with


    Edmund and they parted ways in conflict. How then did she offend Diane? She was confused, as it was strange.


    In a high-pitched voice, Diane asked, “It’s your fault that | have gone crazy.”
