Capítulo 286


    After facing the plot of Diane and Gerry together, Edmund and Chelsea’s rtionship was expected to strengthen significantly as


    far as Edmund was concerned.


    He was taken aback when Chelsea answered a call from Luka with suchughter and dismissive disregard for his own


    existence.


    What made those cats and dogs so appealing eluded Edmund.


    He never found them endearing and hence avoided them. Just because of that, he tly rejected Chelsea’s suggestion that they


    have a pet. But the softness in Chelsea’s eyes made him reconsider.


    Even if it meant presenting her a pet in exchange for her grin, he told himself he could do it.


    After finishing up with Luka, Chelsea turned her attention to Edmund, who was still seated directly across from her.


    Chelsea believed he was mad at her since they had been on the phone too long, and she hastily apologized when she saw that


    he didn’t seem to be okay.


    Edmund waved his hand. Chelsea was on the phone with her lover. No matter how down he was, he couldn’t hold anything


    against her.


    Because of this, Edmund had to actposed and inquired, “Why did you not inform him about Diane and Gerry?”


    Truthfully, Chelsea answered, “He’s in over his head now. I''d rather he not be concerned about me.”


    Edmund was dumbfounded after hearing her remarks. She was thoughtful about her boyfriend.


    After dinner, they settled the bill and left. On the way back to the hotel, Edmund asked Chelsea unexpectedly, “Do you love little


    animals?”


    Chelsea’s face immediately took on a protective posture as she recalled Edmund''s refusal to allow her to have a pet. If she


    answered yes, she knew he would mock her again.


    Edmund observed that she had been staring at him in silence for some time, and he was amused with rage.


    Just now, he asked her if she Liked little animals.


    She must have thought he was going to devour her, right?


    He stated indignantly, “I’m asking you.”


    Chelsea deliberated for a moment before responding, “Sort of.”


    The best Edmund could do was to remain silent.Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    Just now, when she discussed cats with Luka, her demeanor suggested that she had a strong affinity for animals, but now she


    only told him “sort of”.


    Why did she withhold the truth from him?


    He had no idea that the way he had treated Chelsea previously cast a long and dark cloud over her emotions.


    Her heart had initially been open to him, and she had thought he would enter.


    Then, at some point in time, she began to close her heart, and with time, it was entirely shut.


    If she really liked animals, how could she possibly tell him that? After staring at her for a second, Edmund started the chat group


    with his pals and remained silent.
