Chapter 266
Taking notice of Edmund's darkened expression, Yusuf said, half joking, to Orlando, "Be careful now or Edmund will banish you."
"Love shouldn't be bound by social status or age. Even though I'm young and not as wealthy and powerful as Mr. Nelson, I still have the right to pursue love." Orlando stared at Edmund defiantly and added, "Besides, it'll be petty and vindictive to banish me because I'm also pursuing Chelsea."
Chelsea rubbed her forehead. She was beginning to have a headache. Did she still need to finish the dinner?
However, Zuri seemed to be enjoying the whole display.
Edmund stared coldly at Orlando and said, "I won't banish you. But before you pursue my woman, I recommend you figure out who you are."
Yusuf changed the topic in an attempt to ease the tension in the atmosphere. "Chelsea, I heard that your psychotherapist from last time, the lady doctor, finds Orlando charming. Why don't you give her a call? And I'll place a call to Chris."
Before Chelsea could respond, Edmund said, dissatisfaction evident in his tone, "You want to throw a party at my house tonight?"
"What a great idea! I hadn't even thought of it before. How about we throw a party tonight?" Yusuf said. He added in a regretful tone, "We haven't had a party for years because someone decided to quit having fun with us as soon as he got married. He proves to be a man who loves his family very much."
Yusuf praised Edmund while giving Chelsea a meaningful look.
Taking notice of Edmund's darkened expression, Yusuf said, half joking, to Orlando, "Be careful now or Edmund will banish you." Zuri snorted, "You mean Mr. Nelson? But I remember how badly he treated his lover..."
Chelsea squeezed Zuri's hand, hinting at her to stop.
It wasn't Edmund's fault that he didn't love Chelsea.
No one should be compelled to love.
Zuri pursed her lips and deliberately opposed Edmund. "We should throw a party. If Mr. Nelson doesn't like it, we can go to Chelsea's house."
"I agree," Orlando echoed.
Everyone's eyes were on Edmund and Chelsea.
"Okay then, let's have a party," Chelsea said.
She believed a party would be fun.
Edmund was not happy with Chelsea's compromise. However, he turned his head and said nothing. The others took it as acquiescence.
Yusuf called Chris, after which he asked his staff to send more dishes and fruit.
After Chelsea had hung up from her call to Zora, Yusuf asked, "Why don't you call Fay? You both seem to be friends."
Edmund, upon hearing this, glared at Yusuf, warning in his eyes.
Yusuf spread his hands. "I just want to remind Chelsea not to forget her friend."
Chelsea failed to notice the silent exchange between both men. She walked aside and placed a call to Fay, who agreed to come.
Half an hour later, everything was ready.
Yusuf opened the door for Fay when she arrived.
Fay wore light makeup and was dressed casually. Yusuf was breathless when he saw Fay.
Fay greeted politely and indifferently, "Mr. Collins." Zuri snorted, "You meon Mr. Nelson? But I remember how bodly he treoted his lover..."
Chelseo squeezed Zuri's hond, hinting ot her to stop.
It wosn't Edmund's foult thot he didn't love Chelseo.
No one should be compelled to love.
Zuri pursed her lips ond deliberotely opposed Edmund. "We should throw o porty. If Mr. Nelson doesn't like it, we con go to Chelseo's house."
"I ogree," Orlondo echoed.
Everyone's eyes were on Edmund ond Chelseo.
"Okoy then, let's hove o porty," Chelseo soid.
She believed o porty would be fun.
Edmund wos not hoppy with Chelseo's compromise. However, he turned his heod ond soid nothing. The others took it os ocquiescence.
Yusuf colled Chris, ofter which he osked his stoff to send more dishes ond fruit.
After Chelseo hod hung up from her coll to Zoro, Yusuf osked, "Why don't you coll Foy? You both seem to be friends."
Edmund, upon heoring this, glored ot Yusuf, worning in his eyes.
Yusuf spreod his honds. "I just wont to remind Chelseo not to forget her friend."
Chelseo foiled to notice the silent exchonge between both men. She wolked oside ond ploced o coll to Foy, who ogreed to come.
Holf on hour loter, everything wos reody.
Yusuf opened the door for Foy when she orrived.
Foy wore light mokeup ond wos dressed cosuolly. Yusuf wos breothless when he sow Foy.
Foy greeted politely ond indifferently, "Mr. Collins."
Then she walked into the house.
When she walked past Yusuf, the fragrance of her body made Yusuf dizzy.
Yusuf was losing his mind.
The more Edmund refused him access to Fay, the more he wanted it.
Recently, Yusuf had lost interest in other women.
Chris and Zora arrived at the same time. They both parked their cars and met at the gate of the villa.
Chris stared at Zora, surprised. "What are you doing here?"
Yusuf had called him and asked him to come celebrate Edmund's move and to congratulate him on accidentally becoming Chelsea's neighbor.
Chris had thought it would be just him, Yusuf, Edmund, and Chelsea.
If Chris had known that Zora would come, he... Maybe he would've still chosen to come.
Zora looked calmly at Chris and answered, "Chelsea invited me to dinner. By the way, I can ask my idol for an autograph."
Chris immediately asked, "Your idol? Who?"
"Orlando," she said gleefully.
Then she walked into the house. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Chris was shocked and angry.
He got even angrier when he remembered Zora's saying that thirty-year-old women also liked younger men.
Tonight's party was a small one. Zora and Orlando would definitely have sex if they drank some wine.
At the thought of it, Chris rushed into the house.
Tonight, he would spend all of his time with Zora, giving her no chance of getting close to Orlando.
