Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Edmund placed his hand under his jaw and thought hard before answering, "Diane has changed a lot. She's no longer the woman I fell in love with years ago. Or perhaps I just didn't know her well in the first place."

"The way I see it, you probably didn't get the chance to know Diane well because you were married to Chelsea. If you had spent all your time with her all those years, you wouldn't have grown apart," Yusuf commented, rubbing his chin.

He patted Edmund's shoulder and continued, "Friendly advice, you need to take out time to think thoroughly about your love life. It's not wise to lead Diane on if you don't intend to marry her. Make up your mind and make things clear to her."

Edmund pursed his lips and said nothing.

It wasn't his intention to lead Diane on forever. He knew that he needed to make a decision as soon as possible, but he had been shying away from it because he didn't want to cause conflict between his family and the Stevenson family.

No one ever dared to step on the toes of Diane's father. He was an unforgiving man who doted on his daughter very much. He could go to any lengths to make her happy. Edmund also feared that his mother would bring the house down if he ever said that he didn't want to marry Diane.

"You will get through this, bro." Yusuf consoled him and took out his phone. "Since you can't eat Diane's culinary disaster, I'll order my staff to make something sumptuous for you."

With these words, he put a call through to the manager of his restaurant and gave the order. Shortly after, a delicious and nutritious breakfast arrived at Edmund's ward.

Yusuf had breakfast with him before he stood up to leave.

Edmund pointed at him and said warningly, "Dude, I have got my eyes on you. Don't try to hit on Fay again. She's not like those women you move around with. You both are not a perfect match. And I won't take it lightly with you if you disturb her."

Fay was an introverted and sincere person. Edmund feared that she would get hurt if Yusuf made her fall in love with him. He didn't trust his friend around her.

"Give me a break, bro. How are you so sure that I hit on her?" Yusuf asked with a mischievous smirk.

Edmund replied, "The strange smile on your face when you came in said it all. You have that same smile on now!"

Given that they had been friends for many years and Edmund knew about his lifestyle, how could he not know what Yusuf had in mind?

It was rather odd that Yusuf suddenly developed an interest in Fay. After all, she and Leo had been working in Nelson Group for many years. Edmund had noticed that Yusuf went from exchanging simple greetings with Fay to engaging her in unnecessary conversations with an indescribable spark in his eyes.

The simple Fay couldn't afford to be fooled in a relationship by a playboy like Yusuf.

Fay was a good special assistant. She was also like a sister to Edmund, so he wanted to look out for her now that his friend seemed to have something up his sleeves.

Yusuf squinted his eyes and queried indifferently, "How do you know that we are not a perfect match? Are you her father?"

Edmund gave him a discerning look and retorted, "Are you kidding me right now? Do you really not know why I said that? Need I remind you how your family is? Do you want Fay to be another Chelsea?"

The backgrounds of Fay and Chelsea were not very similar because the former was born into poverty and the latter was born with a silver spoon. But they had something in common; their families weren't financially stable.

In the same vein, things were complicated in Yusuf's family. A heavy burden would be on him if he decided to date Fay. Their relationship wouldn't end well, just like the case of Edmund and Chelsea.

Edmund added seriously, "Asides from that, I can't let you fool around with her. Kill the idea of pursuing her and continue frolicking with your long string of women."
