Chapter 177

Chapter 177As soon as Edmund and Chelsea got to the lobby, Zuri arrived and rushed after them.
After getting out of the car, she ran to Chelsea while still in high heels and pushed Edmund away on
purpose, as he was about to help Chelsea up. Seeing him next to her made Zuri furious.
Edmund was stunned for a while, as he tried to regain his balance from the sudden shove.
Zuri then went to help Chelsea and asked worriedly, "How's your ankle? What did the doctor say?"
Chelsea tried to calm her down. "Don't worry. It's just a little red and swollen. I was told to rest for a few
days and avoid putting pressure on it so that it won't get worse."
Zuri sighed in relief. "Someone can't just stop hurting others. You were fine at the dinner, but the minute
you went out with him you sprained your ankle. Isn't that just ironic?"
She just didn't like Edmund and Zuri wasn't doing anything to hide that fact. Orlando or Luka was better
than Edmund in her mind because they were sincere when it came to Chelsea.
They really loved Chelsea, so she knew they would take good care of her. They wouldn't let her get
hurt on their watch.
But what about Edmund?
He was only satisfied when Chelsea was hurt. The more she thought about it, the angrier Zuri got. Edmund couldn't even defend himself from the woman's criticism.
Because what Zuri said was right. He was the reason why Chelsea sprained her ankle. He was the one
who always hurt her.
Chelsea pulled Zuri's arm, silently begging her to shut up before the scene became even more
awkward.
Just then, Luka came over to them after parking the car. He nodded to Edmund out of courtesy and
then turned to Chelsea. "Let's go up."
Chelsea glanced at Zuri briefly and said, "Zuri will go upstairs with me. Mr. Pierce and Mr. Nelson, you
can both go back. Don't worry about me."
Luka said, "It will probably be inconvenient for you to walk around for the next few days. I'll make some
food for you before I leave. At the very least, I can prepare breakfast for you tomorrow."
Hearing that, Edmund couldn't help but think that Luka was too pretentious. Did he think he was now
awesome because he could cook?
novelbinChelsea only sprained her ankle, but there was chivalrous Luka offering to cook for her.
Just as Chelsea was about to refuse, Zuri beat her to it and said, "That's great. Mr. Pierce, although I
can help take care of Chelsea, my skills in the kitchen are non-existent."
She then invited Luka to go with them upstairs, "Let's go. I want to taste the food you cook." Since Zuri had gone ahead and invited him, there was no way Chelsea could refuse.
So, she went to Edmund. "Mr. Nelson, thank you so much for taking me to the hospital. It's getting late.
You should go back and get some rest."
Then the three of them went to Chelsea's apartment, leaving Edmund alone in front of the building, with
anger swirling in his chest.
On his way back home, he called Yusuf and complained that Luka was so acting like the perfect
gentleman in front of Chelsea.
But even Yusuf seemed to be on Luka's side. "I think what Luka is doing is right. Men should be caring
for the woman they like, shouldn't they? If you don't offer to please her, then how will she know you are
the right man for her?"
Edmund was calling to complain about Luka, but what Yusuf said irritated him even more. Even his
friend didn't think he was good enough for Chelsea.
Yusuf went on, "Don't ever blame me for not reminding you. Luka is always there to protect Chelsea
and care for her when she is weak. It's easy to win her heart that way."
Not able to stand more praises for Luka, Edmund hung up the call before his friend could finish.
After the three of them got to the apartment, Luka went to the kitchen and soon came out with two
sandwiches. "I'm sure you two didn't eat much at the dinner party. You can have these for now." "Oh, Mr. Pierce, you are so considerate," Zuri praised dramatically.
Luka went back to the kitchen and prepared breakfast for the next day.
While eating, Zuri asked Chelsea suspiciously, "What happened between you and Edmund after you
guys left?"
Chelsea smiled. "Nothing. He just pulled me unintentionally, and I lost my balance, that's how I
sprained my ankle."
With an angry snort, Zuri said, "I knew it. Edmund has never and will never consider other people's
feelings. How could he not know that you were wearing high-heeled shoes? Why did he pull you?"
Chelsea looked down without saying anything.
While the two of them were enjoying the food, they were oblivious to a rumor that was spreading
online.
It had a picture of Diane leaving the party with a miserable look, and the title was "Diane might have
broken up with Edmund".
Someone then commented on it, saying he heard that Diane and Edmund had quarreled. Although no
one knew what they had fought about, there had to be something wrong between the two.
Soon, the news about Diane breaking up with Edmund was a treading topic as everyone searched for
more information on the story. Among the comments, there was one saying, "I don't think Edmund has ever announced his
relationship with Diane."
As a result, the anonymous netizen was scolded by Diane's fans for hours.
Said netizen was so angry that he made a post analyzing the relationship between Diane and Edmund.
In the end, he came to a conclusion that there was never an instance where Edmund had admitted to
having a relationship with Diane in public. Diane was the one who had given all kinds of hints that she
was about to marry Edmund.
