Chapter 319
Yusuf didn't need to be so careful to remind Edmund, and he could still sense the crisis.
Moreover, even without Roy's arrangement in the Capital, he always had a sense of crisis, because he really didn't have any advantage.
Just the fact that he had hurt Chelsea was enough to sentence him to death. What's more, there was Roy now, which made him dislike him.
After booking the tickets, Edmund still felt uneasy, so he called Chelsea.
Since he went on a business trip, they had not talked on the phone.
He had made a few video calls, but Chelsea didn't answer. Later, he changed into voice or text messages, but in the end, she didn't reply after a long time, or replied simply.
After this business trip, he had gained a deep understanding of what was going on. That was, before he could get her back, he would never go on a business trip again, or perhaps he would never be able to say such a long distance away.
It was too painful.
After the call was connected, Edmund directly asked Chelsea, "Did you go to the Capital?"
Chelsea replied lightly. "Yes."
But in the blink of an eye, Edmund's heart was filled with grief and disappointment. As for him, Chelsea
had agreed so readily, as though he would accept
another man.
He muttered bitterly, "Chelsea, are you really going to start over again?"
On the other end, Chelsea was completely confused. "What do you mean?"
Edmund could only say, "Yusuf said that your father arranged a man for you..."
An explanation came from the other end, "We are just friends with common language."
Although she had explained, it was better not to.
The word "friend with common language" made Edmund's heart sink again.
"Friend with common language" was extremely strange to him, because in his impression, he and Chelsea seemed to have never had a good chat.
Otherwise, how could he not know that she liked literature three years after getting married? He did not know that she worked as a part-time screenwriter and had no idea that she had been a genius since she was a child.
Yusuf said that this man must have a lot of common interest with Chelsea in the cultural department.
For amoment, Edmund was heartbroken and didn't speak for a long time.
"| still have something to do. I'll hang up first." Chelsea's hurried voice rang in his ears, and the phone was directly cut off.
Looking at the cut line in his hand, Edmund was thoughtful and he pondered deeply, "| can't continue to be passive like this."

Chelsea's trip to the Capital was a temporary decision.
a grand engagement dinner for her.
Roy said on the phone that he missed her. She had just finished her draft of "The Crown", so she went to the capital immediately.
It was not until she arrived that she knew that Roy had prepared a dinner for her.
Since it was confirmed that she
"I can't give your father a child and I feel very sorry about it. Your appearance finally untied the knot in my heart."
Kelli never cared that Chelsea was not her biological daughter. After finding out that she could not have children, she took the initiative to mention divorce to Roy, but he disagreed.
Later, she also persuaded Roy to find a woman to give birth to a child for him. She could raise that child
as her own child.
However, she was scolded by Roy. He said that he could not do such an immoral thing.
Now, Chelsea happened to appear. She perfectly inherited Roy's excellent genes in literature, and her mild temperament was exactly the same as his. Most importantly, she was the child of Roy and his beloved girl, which made Kelli feel that it was so perfect.
Therefore, there was no unfamiliarity between Kelli and Chelsea, but only love, and even gratitude.
Chelsea could understand how Kelli felt, so she didn't say anything to comfort her. She just gently hugged her.
Chelsea knew that Kelli's so-called regret was because she loved Roy too much.
In the evening, the Ellis family held a grand dinner party in the hotel. They invited many celebrities from all walks of life to attend and officially announced Chelsea's identity to the public.
All of Chelsea's activities in the banquet were arranged by Kelli. Chelsea had told Roy that there was no need to be so grand, but Roy and the Ellis family insisted on doing it.
Chelsea chose to respect the wishes of Roy and the elders of the Ellis family. She was willing to do everything according to Roy because she knew that everything he did must be for her own good.
At the dinner, Chelsea wore a crescent-white dress. And the old Mrs. Ellis, known as Lady Dorothy, gave her another set of jewelry. This time, it was a set of rubies, which made Chelsea so shocked that she couldn't speak.
She, she really couldn't bear this "heavy" love. The ruby ring could be called a pigeon egg. She even felt that her fingers would be broken after she put it on.
She didn't want to accept such a valuable gift anymore, so she quickly said to the old lady, "Grandma, I know you love me. I'll accept your kindness, but I don't need the gift anymore."
Lady Dorothy insisted, "I thought that it would be more suitable to give you some diamond-type jewelry when you are young.
But I didn't expect that when you came out in this white dress today, I just wanted to give you this set of jewelry."
The old lady added, "You can wear a ruby earring tonight. It suits you very well.
You can keep the rest for yourself and wear it on appropriate occasions."
Chelsea still wanted to refuse, but Kelli teased her. "The old lady gave you two sets of her heirlooms. Even her own daughter doesn't get such opportunity."
As soon as Kelli finished speaking, Roy's two sisters, namely Chelsea's aunt, pursed their lips and smiled. No one was jealous of Chelsea at all. Everyone present was not short of these things. Secondly, everyone really loved Chelsea and Roy, their youngest brother.
The whole family was happy for him for having such an adorable daughter all of a sudden since they had never any children at such old age.
Lady Dorothy was too enthusiastic, so Chelsea could only accept this precious gift again.
But this time, she said to the old lady seriously, "Grandma, don't give me such a valuable gift in the future, or I won't dare to come to the Capital."
The old lady smiled lovingly and said, "Okay, okay, I won't see you off."
But in her heart, she thought, "Next time, the gift will not be so expensive."
The moment Chelsea, who was holding Roy's arm at the dinner party, appeared, everyone was stunned.
The crescent-white evening gown made her gentle temperament even more eye-catching.
There were two beautiful ruby ornaments on her earlobe, which made people wow in their heart: She was a real noble lady.
Even though she had been living on her own outside for so many years, the charm and characteristics she inherited from the Ellis family were not reduced at all. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
