Philip put special emphasis on the word suddenly and the implication was pretty evident to Edmund.
Looking very calm, Edmund replied, "I never thought about marriage. I was simply content with us
liking each other."
Then he added, "Perhaps this has to do with the fact that I was married once. Marriage requires more
than just love. I have been with Diane for more than a year since my divorce. I have a strong feeling we
wouldn't make a good match."
The sullen look on Philip's face started to show. When he next spoke, his tone was harsh. "So, you
admit liking Diana but you refuse to marry her?"
Edmund thought he had been greatly misunderstood. "That's not what I mean," he said.
Philip's anxiety was reaching its peak. "Then what do you mean?" he demanded.
"I mean, Diane deserves a better man who genuinely wants to marry her," Edmund replied back with
finality.
In fact, ever since he divorced Chelsea, he and Diane had never really been together.
Their meetings had been numbered. They just attended a few business dinners together. It was Diane
who pretended as if something was going on between the two of them.
She was the star of the Nelson Group, and the most popular female star. So he had no choice but to let
her join him for business dinners. He hadn't done this because he liked her. He simply did this for the
future of Nelson Group's film and television department.
Edmund had initially set up the film and television department for Diane because he was tired of Ethan
forcing him to marry Chelsea. But since he had set up this department, he strove to become the leader
in the industry.
"I know what you mean." Even if Edmund said something that was against Philip's wishes, it was
useless to lose his temper at this moment.
Philip then raised his glass and said, "Come on. Let's drink a toast. I don't know when such an
opportunity will arise again."
Edmund knew that Philip would never let it go, but he still raised his glass calmly and said, "I am
always ready. I will always be one call away from meeting."
Philip forced a smile at that.
After putting down the glass, Philip asked, "How is your father doing lately? I'm going on a business trip
abroad in a few days. I would like to meet him."
Edmund's face darkened. It suddenly dawned on him that Philip was indeed angry at him.
The reason why Philip mentioned Edmund's father was to remind Edmund that the Nelson family owed
him a big favor. If Edmund refused to marry Diane, it would make him an ungrateful brat before
everyone's eyes.
However, Edmund wasn't the sort of man whose mind could be changed easily. "I think he will be very
happy if you pay him a visit."
By this calm and composed response, Edmund was trying to show his companion that he wasn't
threatened.
Philip had stopped Edmund's parents from getting divorced. Edmund would be more than happy to
express his gratitude to Philip by giving him money. But asking him to marry Diana was stretching it a
little too much!
Moreover, Edmund's father was still alive, so Philip could personally ask him for a payback. There was
no point in coming to him!
Philip squinted his eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses but said nothing. Then he raised his glass and
drank in an elegant manner.
At this moment, Edmund's phone rang, breaking the awkward silence. He looked at the caller ID and
politely excused himself, "I'm sorry. I have a pressing matter to deal with, so I'm taking my leave now."
Philip gave him an amiable smile, which didn't quite reach his eyes, and said, "Go ahead with your
work."
Edmund took his phone and left.
