NovelEnglishCompressing his Lips, Edmund thought remorsefully, God damn it. What a slip of tongue!
This time, it was Chelsea who becangry and turned away from Edmund to look at the car window. She should’ve noticed it. How could people suffer from memory loss so easily in reality? It turned out to be a lie! It was Edmund who colluded with Chris and his other friends to deceive her using her love and care for him. Believing in his lie, she had lost her heart and her virginity to him, only because she Loved him with all her heart. Thinking of these, Chelsea felt deeply wronged and was nearly driven to tears.
Seeing his passengers having such a fierce quarrel, the driver dared not make any noises but tried to focus on driving as much as possible. Weren’t they talking and laughing earlier? Why did they start quarreling suddenly?
Chelsea had thought that if Edmund was really mad at what she said about breaking up, she would apologize to him and soothe him. But since he had lied to her first, there was no need to apologize.
Edmund, who had been at an advantage with his self-righteousness, could not offer any justifications for what he had done. He tried to hold her into his arms and comforted her cautiously, “Dear, I am sorry. I just don’t want to lose you.”

Edmund didn’t stop her from doing so. After all, he was the one who lied to her.
ALL the way home, Chelsea gave him the cold shoulder and upon arrival, she walked into the house without giving him a look even if he helped her with her luggage.
Edmund could do nothing but stared after her helplessly and wasn’t snapped back until the driver asked, “Mr. Nelson? Shall we head back to the company?”
“Yeah, you do that,” Edmund turned his gaze and got back into the car, “It seems further explanation will do no good now.” So, the driver got the car started and drove Edmund to the company.

Hearing the car leaving and making sure Edmund didn’t cafter her, Chelsea breathed a sigh of relief. She had been beside herself and she really needed to calm down. How could he be so ridiculous as to deceive her by pretending to lose his memories? But deep in her heart, she knew whatever he did was because he didn’t want to Lose her, which did touch her despite all her anger.
As for Edmund, he went back to the Nelson Group to work, with a bad temper.
Coming out of Edmund’s office room, Leo texted her sister, Fay, “What happened to Edmund? Did he have a quarrel with Chelsea?”
“Why. No. They seemed toa Loving couple.” Fay texted back.
Leo continued, “But Edmund didn’t look well. There must be something wrong between him and Chelsea.”
Fay was bewildered, “Well, I don’t know then. They were quite lovey-dovey as far as I saw these days.”

While Edmund was still vexed in his office, he received a call from Yusuf. He picked it up and said unfriendly, “What’s wrong with you?”
Yusuf was stunned, “What? What’s wrong with you?”
Edmund answered him with a snort. Though knowing he was pissed off, Yusuf tried to be thick-skinned and asked, “Edmund..could you tellhow is she doing?”
“Who are you talking about?” Knowing Yusuf was referring to Fay, Edmund picked on him deliberately for Yusuf was the one who cto him when he was irritated.
“Fay!” Yusuf snapped. From his words, Yusuf could tell Edmund was about to burst with anger.
Edmund retorted, “Why don’t you call her yourself since you’re so concerned about her?”
Yusuf was rendered speechless. If he could ask her himself, why would he bother to call Edmund?
“If you don’t want to have any connections with her anymore, you don’t have to care whether she is fine or not; but if you are still concerned about her, then go ask her yourself.” Edmund didn’t help his friend partly because he was not in the mood and also because it would be much better for Yusuf to communicate with Fay himself. First of all, the Collins family, especially Yusuf’s father would definitely disagree with the marriage between Yusuf and Fay. Also, if Yusuf still lived the life of a playboy, he shouldn’t keep the relationship with Fay, otherwise, it would do no good to both of them.
