Capítulo 199
Edmund then told them that he had run into Luka cooking at Chelsea’s apartment tonight. Yusuf burst into laughter on hearing this.
Chris held back his laughter and asked, “You just slammed the door and left? Isn’t that impolite?” Edmund snorted. He was so angry at that tthat he didn’t care about being polite. When Yusuf finally stopped Laughing, he asked, “Then why don’t you Like to cook? If you can’t cook, you will lose to Luka.”
Edmund exhaled a smoke ring and said, disgust clear in his voice, “My tis precious. I’d rather spend my spare tworking. Besides, the smell of oil and smoke on my body makesuncomfortable.”
Edmund was an obsessive germaphobe and a workaholic and believed the kitchen to be no place for him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSince he was a child, Alena had been in full charge of his daily life at home. When he studied abroad, he had a specialized chef and housemaid who cooked his meals.
Then he married Chelsea, and she dealt with those trifles. He didn’t even know the position of things in the house. As a result, his life had been a mess when he had just divorced Chelsea.
Edmund couldn’t help remembering the days after he’d just divorced Chelsea, and he was in a constant rage. He was able to find his daily clothes, ties, cufflinks, and other accessories as they were in the dressing room, but he was entirely at a loss about the location of other living goods. He wanted to drink water, but he had to rummage through a pile of cupboards in the kitchen for a Long tbefore he was able to find his usual cup. He wanted a cup of coffee, but after fiddling with the coffee machine for a while, the taste of the coffee was still dissatisfying. Chelsea put away almost all things because she liked keeping the house tidy.
He got a wound on his finger once and wanted to find a Band-Aid, but he couldn’t find it after rummaging through the large house. He got so angry, that he kicked over a nearby cabinet. Chelsea’s selfishness annoyed him. When she wanted to marry him, she was fixated on it until she got what she wanted. When she no longer wanted to be with him, she made a fuss to divorce him. She even made it quick and fast. As a result, he seemed like a loser with zero life skills. If she had just a bit of good conscience, she would have told him where everything was before Leaving.
Humph! Such a heartless woman!
Yusuf took a glance at Edmund who was lost in thought and slowly said, “I think if things continue to roll this way, Luka might really end up with Chelsea.”
“You said what?” Edmund cto his senses. Yusuf tapped his chin.
“Luka appreciates Chelsea’s talent in her career and gives recognition to her ability. He stepped forward to express his love to her when she was in trouble. He was there for her psychologically, caring for and supporting her. He took care of her when she was not feeling well. He even cooked by himself. This is an excellent way to pursue a woman, Edmund,” he concluded.
Edmund stopped smoking.
They were all silent for a while, then Chris looked at him and sincerely added, “Chelsea didn’t get a lot of care from you, Edmund. If she gets treated well by another man, she would be easily moved.”

Nodding heavily, Chris seconded Yusuf'’s statement. “Whereas, look at you, Edmund.” Edmund never showed Chelsea love. He instead gave her endless coldness and indifference. Chris wasn’t trying to irritate
Edmund with the Last sentence. Edmund had to know how he had treated Chelsea.
Edmund took a deep drag of his cigarette. Their words were cruel, and he felt a little flustered.
Yusuf went on, “Why did you take that bouquet to Chelsea? Can you tellwhy?”
Flicking the ash from his cigarette, Edmund nonchalantly said, “She used to arrange flowers at home, | thought she liked..
