Capítulo 40

Chapter: 40

Diane sighed and said, “I’ve told you times without number that you need to cut down on your alcohol intake, quit drinking coffee, and also stop smoking, but you have refused to listen to me. Now, see what’s happening.”

There was a hint of displeasure in Diane’s voice. She couldn't help gritting her teeth when she remembered how Chelsea used to make coffee for Edmund every morning

It annoyed her that Edmund didn’t Like the coffee she made for him now. She had thought she was good at it. But he always frowned after taking a sip. He’d then dump it.

Not only did this break her heart, but she was also mad at Chelsea for making Edmund's taste buds only comfortable with her coffee. She was fed up with wasting her efforts, so she decided to make him quit using his stomachache as an excuse.

This was the only way she could make sure Edmund never compared her with Chelsea in terms of coffee making.

Edmund didn’t utter a word, nor did he nod in agreement. It was pretty obvious to Diane that he wasn’t going to take her advice. After the two of them got into the car, Diane asked tentatively, “By the way, what do you think of the script today?”

“It's not bad,” Edmund replied simply.

Diane gritted her teeth and asked, “Don’t you think the ending is strange?”

“Strange? What’s strange about the ending?” Edmund inquired in reply.

After breathing to prevent herself from showing her angry side, Diane explained, “I think it’s rather strange that the woman who the prince hated was the same one he stayed married to and lived with happily ever after. On the other hand, the princess of the neighboring country, who was his first love, died in the end. The genre of the play is romance. But the princess’s death is a tragedy. Don’t you think it’s unreasonable for it to end that way?”

Anger bubbled in Diane’s throat. She had wanted to bang the table in fury when she listened to the script outline a while ago. If Chelsea wasn’t the one who wrote the script, she wouldn't have taken offense. However, she felt that Chelsea had written the script based on the love triangle between the three of them.

The prince had been forced by the king to marry a woman that he didn’t love. He was already in love with a princess from a neighboring nation. He wanted to marry her but the king kicked against it.

Why did the storyline seem so similar to their lives?

The only difference was that the prince’s first love died and his wife became his new Love. Edmund’s own marriage had ended and he was now with his first love. Could it be that Chelsea sought comfort in writing this script because she couldn’t have him? Did this mean she still hadn’t gotten over him?

Several thoughts went through Edmund's head after Diane pointed out the so-called discrepancy in the script. He agreed that the similarity was uncanny. However, he didn’t see anything wrong with the ending. It was unusual but excellent.

“Things changed as the story progressed. Only the protagonists that were still alive could end up together. | don’t think the ending is unreasonable.” Edmund expressed his thought.

“Why did the story have to progress Like that? The play is about true love. The love the prince and the princess shared was also important. They should have ended up together!” Diane didn’t change her point of view. The tempo of her voice increased as she argued.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

“The prince’s wife had gone through a lot for him. She had seen through all the plots from the court, battlefield, and church. She took good care of him when he was in danger. Without her help, the prince would have never become king. The best reward he could give her for her loyalty was to love her back. Don’t you think it would be unfair if he had walked out on his marriage after all they went through together? Think about it. For me, the ending is perfect.”

Edmund thought he had made a good point. But Diane still didn’t see reasons with him. His explanation only fanned her fury.

Diane stuck to her opinion. She didn’t want to accept that the script was perfect.

The only reason why she brought it up was that she wanted Edmund to see reasons with her and to push for the script to be revised since he was an investor.

In the past, Edmund satisfied her every whim. She didn’t expect that he would say that the script was perfect even after she made it obvious to him that she didn’t like the ending.

“Edmund, | still think...” Diane was about to say something.
