Chapter 236

"Don't scare it!" Chelsea stopped Edmund in time.

His hand froze for a moment, and although he was a little reluctant, he stood up and looked at Chelsea."It's always hiding like this. When will it get familiar with you if you let this go on?"

Chelsea pursed her lips and shook her head. "It has to work at its own pace. Why do you want to pushits limits?"

Edmund then glanced at the cat in Chelsea's arms and asked, "Or maybe you're just ignoring Aryabecause you have Luka's cat!"

Feeling offended, Chelsea put down the cat she was holding and looked at Edmund in disbelief. "Doyou really see me as this heartless person?"

"Well, I don't know what to think because that's how you treat me. As for how you are with otherpeople, I have no idea."

Chelsea had divorced him without any hesitation and without looking back, he still hurt from it.

Now Chelsea didn't want to talk to him, and she wouldn't even bother giving him something as simpleas a smile.

To her, he was just making trouble out of nothing at the moment, and she wasn't very interested incontinuing this conversation with him.

So, she changed the topic and said, "If you want to see Arya, I can help you!"

"No!" he said quickly, feeling panic rise within him.

The truth was that he just wanted to spend time with Chelsea. The cat was just an excuse to see her.

Chelsea then forced a stiff smile on her face and said, "In that case, why don't you go back to thecompany and take care of your business? You should have more important things to do, right?"

Edmund frowned when she said this.

He had just arrived, and already, Chelsea was kicking him out. She hadn't even offered him a seat.

"What are you going to have for lunch?" Edmund asked as a last resort after checking the time on hiswatch.

The bowl of noodles he had last time hadn't satisfied him in the least. He wanted to eat Chelsea's food.He wished they could go back to the days when Chelsea used to take care of him.

Chelsea sighed and answered, "I'll order takeout later."

Chelsea didn't really have enough time for other things. Before, all she had to do was concentrate onher writing. But now, she also had to take care of two cats, and that involved playing with them, andmost especially building a relationship with the little one, Arya.

Considering this, she simply didn't have time to get into the kitchen and cook herself a meal.

Edmund was unhappy when she said she was going to order takeout.

"Chelsea, you used to like cooking before. What happened? Why are you always ordering takeoutnow?"

As a matter of fact, he had noticed that Chelsea rarely cooked her own meals since she came back.

"Well, I have work to finish as soon as possible, and I have two cats to care for. As you can tell, I don'thave the time," Chelsea answered curtly. Besides, she didn't see anything wrong with ordering takeout.She wasn't the only one doing it.

However, Edmund was not just unhappy, but now sad about it.

Chelsea had clearly changed.

She now had her own job, and a career of her own to build up. She had none of that when she waswith Edmund. All she had to do in that time, was take care of him.

Even if they did get back together, he now realized that it would never be like it was in the past. Theyhad both changed.

He felt conflicted at the moment. He didn't know if he should feel sad or happy for Chelsea.

Suddenly feeling out of place, he gulped and said, "I guess I'll take my leave now and stop disturbingyou then."

Chelsea forced that smile again and politely saw him out. If she was being honest, she wanted him

gone from the moment he came in.

It looked like Edmund didn't get the hint, because when he stood out of the door, he said, "Shouldn'tyou invite me for lunch since I gave you a cat?"

Chelsea's eyebrows shot up in surprise. She had never seen anyone like him. He literally asked peopleto thank him when he gave the person something. How didn't he feel embarrassed when he did this?

Although surprised, Chelsea didn't lose her smile. "I thought you gave it to me as a reward for winningthe adaptation right of Roy's new book."

Edmund was speechless.

How did Chelsea become such a cunning person? To be honest, he was a little embarrassed, but hewasn't going to let it deter him.

With an obvious frown on his face this time, he grunted, "Can't you just invite me for lunch?"

Chelsea turned it in her mind for a while and said, "Mr. Pierce said he would come back in a few daysfor us to celebrate this victory. We'll go together then."

The moment Luka's name left Chelsea's lips, Edmund stopped listening. He just turned and went.

Watching him leave, Chelsea shrugged and closed her door.

For her, being partners and friends with Edmund like they were now was enough.

She didn't want to have anything more to do with him. So even if he was serious about loving her andwanting to chase her, she preferred to ignore it and act like it never happened.

All Chelsea wanted to do now was focus on her career. Added to that, she now had two cats to takecare of.

When she finished with the script of The Crown, she was going to start with Find You. She really hadtoo much on her plate. She simply couldn't afford sacrificing time to talk about love.

After lunch, Luka made a video call to Chelsea. When she told him that Edmund gave her a cat, hewent silent for a while. But not able to hold it in, he started bitterly, "Chelsea, I think Edmund... I thinkhe's serious about you this time."

Chelsea just chuckled and said, "I really don't care. Serious or not, I don't have the time to think aboutthat now."

Luka sighed and said, "I'll be back tomorrow to take my cat. You have a new cat at home. I can'tsubmerge you with work and two cats, can I?"

"No, don't worry about it. I can take care of her without any problem," she quickly said.

Luka stayed silent for a while and then said, "I actually have something to do when I get back. A fewdays ago, Purple called and said she wanted to leave the Peak Entertainment and work for Diane'scompany. Diane's company has absolutely no future. So I want to meet her and persuade her not to dowhat she wants to."

"Yeah. There's no doubt that Diane has no morals or ethics whatsoever. If Purple works in Fairyland

Culture, she won't achieve great success!" Chelsea agreed.

"You know, when she became famous after that book and play, I already knew she had a lot ofshortcomings, but I still helped her get into the film and television industry. I was only doing thatbecause I still nurtured the hope of her learning to improve herself and becoming a famous scriptwriter.But as we've all seen, Purple hasn't made any progress since then. Instead, she acted very smug,boasted, and even did something bad. In the Peak Entertainment, she is afraid of me and can't go veryfar. But if she goes to Diane's company and works with Diane, then they will make a lot trouble."

The truth was that, Purple had done so many things wrong that even a gentle person like Luka couldn'tsay anything good about her.

Chelsea frowned after hearing all of what Luka said. She was really worried now.

"If she had been half as humble and diligent as you, she wouldn't have been like this now," Luka addedafter a while. "Anyways, I'll do as I planned. I'll try my best to persuade her not to go to Diane'scompany. But if she doesn't listen to me, I won't be able to do anything about it. I'll just come and getmy cat back, that way, you can concentrate more on writing, okay?"

Taking care of a child was almost the same as raising a child. It was definitely not an easy thing.Especially the cat that Edmund gave Chelsea. It was still a very small cat, and it sucked a lot moreenergy taking care of that type than any other.

Luka hated seeing Chelsea stress so much, so he preferred just taking his cat.

Since Luka had made up his mind, she knew she couldn't change it. So she just shrugged and let himhave his way.
