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.

Foy wore light mokeup ond wos dressed cosuolly. Yusuf wos breothless when he sow Foy.
