Chapter 265
Yusuf's mockery just made Chelsea feel worse. She fought for a while, but Edmund kept his grip on her.
Chelsea, in an act of desperation, bit Edmund on the arm.
Edmund frowned.
Chelsea resembled her cat in every way.
Both of them were fierce. One scratched his hand, the other bit his arm.
When Edmund released his grip, Chelsea unlocked the door immediately.
Yusuf had just descended the porch stairs. He halted upon hearing the door open.
Back behind Chelsea, he saw the dismal Edmund. His brows furrowed and he said, "That fast?"
Chelsea's cheeks became more flushed.
With a frown on his face, Edmund asked Yusuf, "What the fuck are you doing here?"
As he smiled and showed the wine in his hand, Yusuf answered, "I heard you had moved to a new home. I was scared that you would feel lonely, so I planned to come here and drink with you. I didn't think that I would disturb you."
Edmund shouted, "Who the devil would feel lonely? Fucking you!"
Yusuf swiftly said, "Sure, you're right. It's me. I'm going. Bye."
At once, Chelsea stopped Yusuf. "Since you're here, Yusuf, let's have supper together."
The thought of eating supper with Edmund alone made Chelsea uncomfortable.
With Edmund's extra effort, the supper was romantic, making Chelsea feel even more uneasy.
Chelsea no longer needed to remain with Edmund alone now that Yusuf was there.
Chelsea descended the stairs and drew Yusuf back. Yusuf's mockery just made Chelsea feel worse. She fought for a while, but Edmund kept his grip on her.
Edmund's face became darker.
"It's not that I don't want to go, but Chelsea is so enthusiastic, and I don't want to disappoint her." Yusuf smiled at Edmund.
Inhaling deeply, Edmund turned and headed back inside.
His candlelit dinner was spoiled!
The lights were switched back on in the room.
After entering the dining room, Yusuf was equally surprised.
How could Edmund have done that? He even prepared a candlelit dinner?
It seemed like Yusuf messed it up, however.
The mere thought of it sent chills down Yusuf's spine.
Without so much as a word, Edmund cleared the table of its flowers and candlesticks and sat down in one of the chairs.
Yusuf cracked open a bottle of red wine and poured it into three glasses. Then, in an attempt to relax, he drank some of it.
He then played like nothing had occurred and began talking about the wine he had brought. "This bottle of wine has just been flown in from abroad. As soon as I had it, I came to you. See! I am your true buddy, aren't I?"
Edmund gave him an icy glare and a sneer.
Chelsea observed the not too pleasant ambiance and eventually said, "Since Yusuf arrived, I want to invite Zuri here."
It was easier to have a good time because of Zuri's gregarious nature.
Chelsea wanted to invite one more person?
Edmund's grimace indicated his disapproval.
Edmund's foce become dorker.
"It's not thot I don't wont to go, but Chelseo is so enthusiostic, ond I don't wont to disoppoint her." Yusuf smiled ot Edmund.
Inholing deeply, Edmund turned ond heoded bock inside.

Chelseo wonted to invite one more person?
Edmund's grimoce indicoted his disopprovol.
Chelsea decided to disregard it. She phoned Zuri, and Zuri immediately agreed.
To Chelsea's and Edmund's shock, Zuri came with Orlando nevertheless!
Edmund's face darkened more.
Orlando liked Chelsea. Edmund distinctly recalled that Orlando had visited Chelsea at her place one time at midnight.
Also, Chelsea was taken aback.
Zuri stated calmly, "We were just deciding where to have dinner when you phoned, so I decided to
bring Orlando with me to your housewarming party."
Zuri conceded that it was not the whole point. She wished to distress Edmund as well.
With narrowed eyes, Edmund sent Orlando a menacing glance before adding, "Since we're all here, just sit down and eat."
After he sat down, Orlando offered Chelsea a lovely and endearing grin and said, "Chelsea, I haven't seen you in a while. You've become more beautiful."
Edmund side-eyed Orlando and questioned, "What do you mean by becoming more beautiful? Isn't she always beautiful?"
Everyone there was visibly shaken. Edmund, a great, dignified, and calm guy, spoke such lovely words, which stunned the rest.
Chelsea made a valiant effort to wink at Orlando, a signal for him to keep quiet.
Despite her protests, Orlando gazed into Edmund's icy eyes, smiled, and said, "Mr. Nelson, I assume you've just realized Chelsea's beauty. Otherwise, why didn't you appreciate such a lovely wife before?"
