He then raised his arms to hug her and then moved his face closer to kiss her. Chelsea was shocked
and then used her hand to stop him.
“Don’t do this in public…” Chelsea didn’t want the embarrassing scene to happen again. That night Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Edmund kissed her in front of so many colleagues, who had been joking about it in a group chat online
for a few days.
Edmund then Let her go disappointedly.
But then he whispered to her, “Then wait for me. I will kiss you as long as possible.”
“Deal,” Chelsea agreed with a red face and then pushed him away gently. When Edmund disappeared
at the security checkpoint, Chelsea felt empty in her mind.
When she sat back to her car, she didn’t leave right away but wait until Edmund’s flight left.
Now she couldn’t get relaxed as she had someone in her mind. Edmund was the one occupied her
mind. This time, she hoped he could cherish her love and wouldn’t force her to crawl back to her shell
again.
When Edmund got back to the Vertoak city, he asked Yusuf’s father out for dinner.
And before that he had known that Yusuf had broken the vase his father loved and had told him that he
might sterilize himself if his father still chose to trouble Fay.
Edmund told the information to Chelsea, but Chelsea still hated Yusuf as much as she did before.
She didn’t care what Yusuf had done to his father. She just wanted Yusuf not to disturb Fay anymore.
The conversation between Edmund and Roman didn’t go very well for Roman knew what Edmund had
come all the way to see him for.
After they had been at table, Edmund raised his glass to Roman and said, “Fay and Leo are both my
right hands. Now that Sonya is gone, I personally see them as my sister and brother. I would very be
grateful if you can go easy on them for my sake.”
“Whatever you see her as, and even if you go so far as to tell the whole world that you take her as your
real sister, her humble background will still be a permanent fact,” said Roman, without trying to conceal
his distaste for her, also as if to tell him that he had come over only for his sake.
Chilliness descended on Edmund’s face.
At that moment Edmund strongly hoped that Fay’s baby would be a boy, if so, he would root for her to
never let Roman take his grandson back to the family so that the poor old man would be sorry for
cutting off his heir.
No pity shall be felt for a man like this.
Until then Edmund had actually considered persuading Fay to him about the baby if after the it was
born, Y’s health was still bad and Yusuf had no other kid, so he wouldn’t regret that he did not live to
see his grandchild.
But then and there, Edmund decided he would not plea for any mercy on him.
He thought of a saying he had heard of: Being pitiful and being hateful are just two sides of the same
coin.
It made so much sense in the case of the man he was speaking to.
“Well, you are right, ” replied Edmund with a faint smile, “It will go on to be a fact. And if you have to be
so unhappy with that, you might as well be stricter with your son.”
“What do you mean?” asked Roman grimly.
“I mean she does not care to marry your son. She has left behind everything she had earned in the
Vertoak only to get away from Yusuf. You think she will still want to have anything to do with the
Collinss?”
Roman winced at what he had heard, even appearing to be clenching his teeth a little.
