Tapping his chin thoughtfully, Ethan asked, “What do you think of Yusuf? He seems like a perfect match for Chelsea, doesn’t he?”
“Grandpa, that’s my best friend! Just so you know, Yusuf is a playboy. How can someone like that be a good suitor for your so- called granddaughter?” Edmund inquired jealously.
Ethan didn’t see reasons with him. “The fact that he’s your friend and a playboy doesn’t matter. People change when they are in Love. I’m sure he will ditch his flirtatious ways once he gets to know Chelsea and falls in love with her.”
“You are in for a disappointment, Grandpa,” Edmund commented with a sneer. He was ready to fight tooth and nail if Yusuf dared to make a move on Chelsea. Ethan didn’t back down despite Edmund’s discouraging words. He took out his phone and made a call to Yusuf.
Yusuf and Edmund had been good friends for many years. The Nelson family and the Collins family were close, so Yusuf wasn’t an outsider in Ethan’s eyes.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Once the Line connected, he put the phone on speaker mode and asked, “Hey, Yusuf. What are you up to these days?”
Yusuf responded leisurely, “Good afternoon, Mr. Nelson. You know me. I’ve been busy with work. Is there something | can help you with?”
Ethan nodded and replied, “Actually, I’d like to introduce a beautiful woman to you. | want her to be your girlfriend.”
Yusuf’s ears pricked up when he heard those words. He could never resist meeting women. He said excitedly, “Tell me about her! Something tells me this lady is very beautiful. You have good taste, so I'd love to meet her.”
Edmund's face darkened once he heard this. He wished he could slap Yusuf through the phone. “Well... The lady in question is Chelsea. What do you think of her?” Ethan asked tentatively.
Aloud bang came from the other end of the line all of a sudden. It was followed by Yusuf’s pitiful cry. “Ouch! | almost burned myself to death!”
It took about a minute before Yusuf got over the pain and spoke again.
“I'm sorry, Mr. Nelson. | knocked over my cup of coffee. Where were we? Aha! You said something, but | didn’t hear it clearly. Can you repeat that?”
“| said that I'd like to introduce Chelsea to you,” Ethan said impatiently.
“Oh, what a coincidence! | actually started dating someone recently. | love her so much. It’s bad to date two women at the same time, so | intend to stay faithful to my girlfriend.”
Ethan was speechless.
What was wrong with Yusuf? Didn't he just say that he would be glad to meet the beautiful woman in question?
“Thank you for caring about my love life, Mr. Nelson. I'll make sure to visit you someday. | have to attend to something, so I'1I hang up now. Bye!” Yusuf hung up the call, sparing Ethan no time to say a word
Ethan grunted and threw the phone on the table.
On the other hand, the outcome of the phone conversation gladdened Edmund’s heart. He was singing joyously in his head. After taking a bite of steak, he said persuasively, “Don’t worry so much, Grandpa. You don’t know that she already has a boyfriend.”
