Chapter 25 His Friend's Suspicions

"Oh my! What just happened, Edmund?"

Chris's shock changed to amusement within seconds.He plopped himself in his seat and was about to laugh.

But when he saw Edmund's sullen face, he bit his lower lip to prevent himself.

Gritting his teeth, Edmund took out the dollar bill and squeezed it in anger.He gave his friend a cold look and stormed out of the office. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Once the door got shut, Chris made a phone call to Yusuf to gossip.

"Guess who Edmund just brought to my office at the hospital?"

"Chelsea?"

Yusuf guessed without hesitation.

"Huh? How did you know? Did you already know that she was back in town?"

Chris was surprised.

"Of course, I knew that she was back.I also witnessed her scold Edmund to the extent that he was short of words.I couldn't believe my eyes,"

Yusuf responded.Chris burst into laughter.

After he regained his composure, he told Yusuf about what happened in his office a few minutes ago.He made sure to tell it dramatically.

"Chelsea has really changed.Something tells me that she would continue to treat him like this.She will make sure to drive our friend nuts" Yusuf said with a hint of gloat.

"Why is her behavior having such an effect on him? Shouldn't he be grateful that she’s no longer throwing herself at him?" Chris asked in confusion.

Yusuf explained, "I also thought he would be happy with the development.But he was so pissed and he thinks she's playing hard to get."

Chris was speechless.

After thinking for a while, he said slowly, "The way I see it, she's not playing hard to get.I think she just doesn't want to have anything to do with him."

"Yes, I think so too.But our friend thinks otherwise."

Yusuf agreed, snapping his fingers.

Chris's eyebrows raised.

He asked, "You think so too? Why didn't you tell Edmund that his assumption was wrong? At least, he would get his mind off Chelsea once he realizes that."

Holding his forehead, Yusuf responded, "Gosh! You talk as if you don't know how he is.Do you really think he would see reasons with me if I told him my opinion? Chelsea sucked up to him for three long years.She built her whole life around him and did everything to please him.As far as Edmund is concerned, she couldn't have gotten over him in just a year.He feels that she still loves him.Well, I don't blame him.I'd have thought the same way if I were in his shoes."

Everyone close to the former couple knew how much Chelsea had invested herself into making sure their marriage worked.

As a result, it was hard to believe that she had no interest in Edmund now.

"But why is Edmund so keen on making sure that Chelsea no longer plays hard to get? He always wanted to get rid of her.Isn't he supposed to get married to Diane soon?"

Chris further queried, as his confusion increased.

Rumors were making rounds that wedding bells were ringing for Diane and Edmund.

They had been dating for a long time, so many people expected them to make their union legal soonest.

Yusuf answered innocently, "I have no idea why he's so bothered.You know, one can hardly read his mind."

Love was like drinking alcohol.

Only the person who drank it could get drunk.

With a doubtful tone, Chris commented, "I don't think he loves Diane that much."

"What do you mean?" Yusuf asked curiously.

"Don't you get it? Why did Edmund get married to Chelsea as soon as he broke up with Diane over three years ago? I don't think he married her because his grandfather forced him to after he had sex with her.Edmund is a very stubborn man.No one can force him to do anything against his will."

Yusuf raised his eyebrows as he put two and two together.

"Are you trying to say that he liked Chelsea from the very beginning?"

He sighed deeply and added, "If that's true, our friend will be very miserable in the future.Let's just watch and see."

Outside the filming location.

Sonya sat in her car and grunted like a wounded lioness for a long time.She kicked the driver's seat countlessly.

When her driver couldn't take it anymore, he got out of the car on the pretext of smoking.

"Fuck my life!" he cursed once he got out.

He considered himself unlucky for having such an arrogant and rude lady as his boss.

The only reason why he was still on the job was that his salary was very high.He also got a raise regularly.

After Sonya calmed down, the first thing she did was to call Diane.

She wanted to fill her in on everything that happened.She was going to incite Diane into fighting against Chelsea.

Diane was busy making pudding at home when her phone rang.

A disgusted expression appeared on her face when she saw the caller ID.

Although she hated Sonya, she had to pretend to like her because she needed her support to become Edmund's wife.

"Diane, Chelsea is back.And my brother bullied me because of her today!"

Sonya cried as soon as the line connected.

The spoon in Diane's hand fell to the floor when she heard those words.Her legs immediately felt wobbly.She held the kitchen counter for support.
