What Edmund said put Yusuf into a thoughtful silence and after a while, Yusuf finally said, “Ok. I know.” Then Yusuf hung up the phone.
Putting his phone away, Edmund tiredly squeezed his knitted eyebrows. Though Yusuf had been through many relationships and boasted himself as the master of love, when he met the one he truly loved, he had no idea of what he was going to do.
Not long after Yusuf’s call, Edmund received another call from Trevor which reminded him of Orlando at once. If Orlando hadn’t called Chelsea, then they would not quarrel over such trifles, and thinking of this only annoyed Edmund even more.
But he didn’t want to talk about their relationship with Trevor, so he picked up the phone and said coolly, “I heard you returned from abroad. When did you arrive?”

Hearing Trevor’s words, Edmund thought with contempt, “Well, it turns out Trevor isn’t as brainless as I thought.”
Edmund continued asking, “When will Orlando and Vickie attend the audition?”
“Around these days,” Trevor answered.
“Don’t let Orlando pass once he made the tiniest mistake,” Edmund required.
“Well..” Trevor was bewildered, “I thought Orlando was recommended by Miss Chelsea.”
Taking a deep breath, Edmund thought to himself, “This is the very reason why Orlando can’t act in this show.” But instead, he retorted, “Are you choosing the actor or the referee?”
Trevor felt even more confused. He thought Edmund was pursuing Chelsea, so by giving Orlando the character he could please Chelsea thus pleasing Edmund.
But now questioned by Edmund, Trevor protested immediately, “Of course I am choosing the actor. I will not use the actor unless he has excellent acting skills and is perfectly suitable for the character.”
“Great. Make sure you do that,” Edmund said.
Trevor could tell Edmund was quite angry through the phone so after telling Edmund he had been back from abroad and was ready to work, he hung up the phone as soon as possible.
It was nearly the end of the office hour when Edmund received a message from Chris saying, “I heard you and Chelsea was back in the Vertoak. My mom and I visited Frances a few days ago, and Frances said Chelsea would finish the last dose of the medicines around these days, so she made more medicines for Chelsea and toldto bring them to Chelsea. Should I give the medicines to you or should I go directly to Chelsea?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEdmund was planning to work overtbut seeing the message, he texted back instantly, “Don’t bother. I will go to your place to collect the medicines and bring them to her myself.” Edmund was still worrying that Chelsea would refuse to see him but the medicines offered him a perfect excuse to go to her place.
Grabbing his car key, Edmund left at once, forgetting all about his work.
Chelsea didn’t receive any text messages or phone calls from Edmund the whole afternoon, but when preparing dinner, she made more than she could eat unconsciously. After placing the dinner on the table, it turned out she had prepared the meal for Edmund as well.
With a sigh, she was about to sit down and eat dinner when the Gordon rang.
She went to open the door and it was Edmund outside. He was a Large man but he seemed so timid when he handed the medicines to Chelsea and said softly, “The medicines Frances prepared for you.”
“Thanks,” Chelsea said.
Having delivered the medicines, Edmund was still standing in front of the door. So, Chelsea had to ask, “Have you eaten dinner?”
Chelsea had been thinking about the relationship between her and Edmund the whole afternoon and she persuaded herself to forgive Edmund’s lying to her since they had accepted each other and begun to Live together again. So, if he forgave her for saying about breaking up, then she would not be mad at him anymore.
Asking him for dinner was a sign of reconciliation
