Capítulo 179
After Hilton and his son were gone, Yusuf walked into the room slowly with his hands in his pockets. “| really don’t understand what you’re doing right now,” said Yusuf, as he sat next to Edmund. “Someone toldthat you even asked Brayan to help Chelsea.”
Edmund didn’t answer. Yusuf sighed and continued, “If you really Like Chelsea, then go after her. She won’t know you are doing all this unless you tell her.”
After a pause, he added, “Although we don‘*t know anyone who has ever gotten his ex back after a divorce, you could be the first, right?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYusuf’s words were more of mockery than actual help. Edmund rolled his eyes and thought of the possibility.
If he pursued Chelsea, they would Laugh him to death. And those who knew of his past with Chelsea would also Laugh at him. He didn’t even want to imagine how bad the jokes would be if he actually failed to get her back.
He hadn’t wanted Chelsea back then and hadn't liked the idea of being a couple with her. When they finally divorced, he had felt as if a giant burden had been unloaded from his shoulders.
So how could he go back on his words now?
“Do you still think that she is playing hard to get with you when she avoids you?” Yusuf asked cautiously. Edmund threw the cushion beside him at Yusuf's face all of a sudden.
“Shut up.”
When Chelsea had just cback, he had been so sure that she still loved him and was just playing hard to get. But now, it seemed that everything about her had changed. She wasn’t the swoman he had known before. Yusuf doubled with peals of laughter.
“| think Chelsea is really a good woman. She is much better in character and conduct when you compare her with Diane. Moreover, Chelsea is a talented woman when it comes to writing. You can even say she’s perfect.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFake envy washed over Yusuf’s face, “I read what she posted online. It’s so touching. | almost cried. If a girl wrote so many beautiful sentences about me, my heart would have melted. | wouldn’t even hesitate to make her mine.”
Edmund sneered, “Oh really, now? There were so many girls who wrote love letters to you when you were still a student. How cyou never fell in love with any of them?”
Yusuf didn’t know how to reply to that. After sighing in frustration, he defended himself, “It’s because | was too young at that time. I'm nearly thirty years old now. After going through so many ups and downs in life, | finally realize that it’s really not easy to get the right Lover.”
Edmund glanced at him suspiciously and asked, “What's wrong with you today? When did you get so emotional? You always do what you want when it comes to women, don’t you? “
Yusuf was a sworn playboy. He had never stayed with any woman for long, nor did he feel any remorse for any woman he left. The man sank into the sofa lazily.
“It's possible that | will get engaged according to my family’s wishes very soon, so | just sighed and thought about it.”
“It's just an engagement. How can that stop you from doing what you want?” Edmund knew more about Yusuf than the man even knew himself, so he didn’t think marriage was enough to tie him down if he didn’t want to.
Yusuf cast a meaningful glance at Edmund and said, “You're right. I’ve been very free. Nothing can stopfrom having fun. But after | saw the show you've been putting on lately, | was a little scared.”
