Edmund glanced at the cup of coffee, hesitating to speak.
Nyasia suddenly understood, and sneered, “You think it doesn’t
taste as good as the coffee Kaneeta makes, don’t you?”
If it was just that he didn’t like the taste, he could have said so
directly. There was no need to be so evasive.
Edmund didn’t answer her question, only let out a soft sigh.
Nyasia forced herself to hold back her anger. “Ed, before you
went to college, I used to make coffee for you at home all the
time. Back then, you always said it was delicious, that you loved
my coffee the most. So why is it that now, you think my coffee
doesn’t taste good anymore?”
“Nya, that’s not what I meant.”
“Then what do you mean? You clearly said before that Kaneeta
couldn’t compare to me at all! Now that she’s gone, you
suddenly think she’s better? And Ed, don’t forget, it was only
because we had a falling out that you went and confessed to
Kaneeta!”
Edmund remained silent, his expression stiff.

Nyasia clearly caught the fleeting look of guilt in his eyes.
Suddenly, her face turned pale. She strode up to Edmund,
grabbed his arm, and stared at him intently.
“What, is that not true? Did you really fall for Kaneeta back
then, is that why you pursued her? Wasn’t it just to spite me?”
“Nya!” Edmund’s tone was harsh. “That was years ago. What’s
the point of dwelling on it now?”
“But…”
“Haven’t I done enough for you?” Edmund looked at her, eyes
full of hurt. “To help you get away from your abusive ex-
husband, I married you. To fulfill your dream of having a child
of our own, I proposed to Neeta, went to great lengths to get her
a fake marriage certificate. Nya, if I didn’t care about you, would
I have done all that?”
Nyasia’s momentum instantly faded.
If she were to deny all that Edmund had done for her, it would
truly be heartless.
But she still couldn’t stand that Edmund kept thinking about
Kaneeta.
Chapter 86
Just like how, when she was abroad, Edmund was always
thinking about her.
Forget it.
After all, that man would take care of Kaneeta for her, so she
forced herself to calm down.
Once Kaneeta was dead, it wouldn’t matter how much Edmund
thought about her.
“I’m sorry, Ed.“‘ Nyasia put on a wronged and pitiful look. “It’s my
fault, I shouldn’t upset you at a time like this. But you have to
know, I’ll always be by your side, no matter what”
Edmund’s gaze toward her softened considerably.
“My Nya is always the most considerate.”
He took Nyasia’s hand. “In half a month, come with me to
Roseburn.”‘
“To Roseburn?” Nyasia was puzzled. “For what?”
“My father has an old friend. He contacted me this morning,
said he’s about to turn sixty and is throwing a big birthday
party. He invited me to attend, and there’s also some business
over there that I can handle in person.”
Chapter 86
Nyasia nodded. “I see.”
“And while we’re in Roseburn, you can take me to visit Madam
Drayton.” Edmund looked at her.
Nyasia’s mind buzzed.
Damn, she had forgotten all about that!
“Ed, I…”
“What is it?” Edmund frowned. “We don’t have to talk about
business, just pay a simple visit. That should be fine, right?
Didn’t you say Madam Drayton likes you a lot?”
“Of course!” Nyasia forced herself to perk up, trying not to let
her guilt show. “I–I was just thinking about what gift to bring.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.”
Edmund studied Nyasia.
Come to think of it, Nyasia’s reaction had always been a bit off
lately whenever anything related to the Drayton family in
Roseburn was mentioned.
