Chapter 169

Chapter 169Diane watched as Chelsea left with a long face. Edmund too was frowning like he had a fight with
Chelsea. Diane breathed a sigh of relief. It excited her to see that Edmund and Chelsea were not on
good terms with each other.
Holding up her skirt hem, she hurried over to Edmund. He looked at her coldly and asked, "What is it?"
Diane's eyes reddened. She pleaded with Edmund in a soft tone, "Edmund, we need to talk, please."
Edmund took another glance at her and walked out of the hall. Diane followed him. The moment she
stood still as they got to the garden, outside the hall, she began to sob. "Edmund, I acknowledge my
mistake. I promise never to disturb Chelsea again."
Edmund replied unconcernedly, "This has nothing to do with Chelsea. It is about you and me."
This made Diane cry harder. Edmund continued, "Diane, we had a relationship in the past. Four years
ago, we broke up. I tried to get back with you after my divorce, but I found out we were not compatible."
Four years was a long time. Enough time for the emotions between a couple to fade away. Edmund's
words were totally unacceptable to Diane. She lurched at Edmund, grabbed him tightly by his arm, and
cried, "Edmund, I can't live without you! I'll do anything you want me to do. I'll change if you need me to
do so."
Diane held on firmly to Edmund, but Edmund pushed her hands away from him without emotions and
left with his mind made up. Raising her hands to cover her face, Diane burst into tears. She had broken up with Edmund and then
gone into the entertainment industry with so much excitement. She expected Edmund to wait for her
but he didn't. If she had known, she'd have married him earlier, instead of breaking up with him.
Unfortunately, some things could not be changed.
Her tears had ruined her makeup, so she decided to go fix it in the bathroom. As she got into the
bathroom, she ran into Chelsea who had just washed her hands and was about to leave.
Diane's face was stained with tears and this surprised Chelsea. Her impression of Diane was that of
steady glamour, elegance, and dignity. Why did she look different today? It wasn't something she
should be concerned about anyways, so she turned to walk away.
novelbinSeeing Chelsea, Diane remembered the embarrassment she just experienced and this put her in a
rage. She lunged at Chelsea and pulled her. "Stop there!"
Chelsea almost fell to the floor from Diane's pull, but she stood her ground and instead, shook off
Diane's hand. "Are you insane?" Chelsea asked Diane in anger. She had avoided them throughout the
night. She only exchanged a few words with Edmund and they parted ways in conflict. How then did
she offend Diane? She was confused, as it was strange.
In a high-pitched voice, Diane asked, "It's your fault that I have gone crazy."
With arms crossed over her chest, Chelsea said with a sneer, "Don't tell me that you and Edmund are
not on good terms. You can't be seriously disturbing me because of your misunderstanding."
Diane snapped back at her, "Weren't you the one that wrecked the relationship I had with Edmund?"
