Chapter 17 Sudden Change Of Mind

It wasn't until the car went out of sight that Edmund finally returned to the villa.

Once he sat down at the table, Ethan went straight to the point.

"Have you set a wedding date?"

The wedding in question was the one between Edmund and Diane.

Since Edmund and Chelsea got divorced, she had been in and out of the family house as if she wasalready married to the family.

Although Edmund was yet to formally propose marriage to Diane, the public knew that both familieswere on good terms.

The rumor about them getting married was already spreading in the city.

The media reported about them often.

And this was Diane's handiwork.She had bribed many reporters to make sure that her relationship withEdmund was always in the news.She also started the rumor about the so-called wedding.

"No, I haven't," Edmund replied with a slight frown.

"What are you waiting for? A year was enough for you to get your act together.You need to get marriedas soon as possible!"

Ethan ordered seriously.

Edmund's eyebrows knitted as he stared at his grandfather in confusion.

Ethan was the only person in this household that disliked Diane.He always gave her the cold shoulderno matter what she did to please him.

Only some minutes ago, he had said that he wouldn't accept her as his granddaughter- in-law.

Why did Ethan suddenly change his mind? Was he now prepared to accept Diane into the family?Under his grandson's confused gaze, Ethan picked up a piece of beef and slowly ate it.He thenremarked, "Don't look at me like that.Once you get remarried, I will introduce a good man toChelsea.She deserves happiness."

Edmund almost spat out a mouthful of soup.

He coughed and asked, "What do you mean, Grandpa?"

"Isn't it obvious? In case you don't know, I like Chelsea very much.I've taken her as my granddaughter,so I want to replace her a suitor who would take good care of her.This is very important," Ethan explainedand snorted.

The serious look on his face made Edmund a little restless.

"Grandpa, how can you take my ex-wife as your granddaughter? That automatically means we havebecome siblings.Don't you think that's inappropriate?" Edmund asked seriously, dropping his spoon.

With an indifferent expression, Ethan answered, "You aren't related by blood, so you both can't besiblings just because I take Chelsea as my granddaughter.I just feel sorry for her.Life has been cruel toher.Not only did she have a bad husband, but she also has a bad father and brother.As hergrandfather, I will look out for her and make sure her life becomes better."

Edmund's heart ached.His grandfather had just poked jabs at him for Chelsea's sake.He couldn't helpbut wonder if this old man was actually his grandfather because he was always taking Chelsea's side.

Memories of all that happened in the past swept through Ethan's mind at this time.He sighed and saidwith guilt, "It's all my fault that she got hurt.If I hadn't forced you to marry her, she would have beenmarried to a better man that loves her by now.It's so sad that she had to waste three years of her life onyou."

Again, Ethan wasn't taking Edmund's feelings into consideration.

Edmund and Chelsea had wasted their time, but he only thought about the latter.

Tapping his chin thoughtfully, Ethan asked, "What do you think of Yusuf? He seems like a perfect matchfor Chelsea, doesn't he?"

"Grandpa, that's my best friend! Just so you know, Yusuf is a playboy.How can someone like that be agood 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'msure 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 downdespite 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.

Once the line connected, he put the phone on speaker mode and asked, "Hey, Yusuf.What are you upto these days?"

Yusuf responded leisurely, "Good afternoon, Mr.Nelson.You know me.I've been busy with work.Is theresomething I can help you with?"

Ethan nodded and replied, "Actually, I'd like to introduce a beautiful woman to you.I want her to be yourgirlfriend."
