Sheila stared in stunned silence for a few seconds before she finally found her voice. "You... why did you eat that?"
Edmond chewed, swallowed, and calmly replied, "Is it inedible? Poisonous?"
"I already took a bite of that..."
"So you took a bite," he remarked smoothly. "I've tasted... every part of you."
Her mind went blank for a second before his meaning registered. Her cheeks burned, the heat rushing all the way to her earlobes.
How could he say something like that?!
Absolute lunatic!
What kind of remark was that?
No matter how intimate they had been in the past, that was history. She had absolutely nothing to do with him now!
Seeing her irritated expression, Edmond's voice turned icy. "Weren't you the one who told me never to waste food?"
How was that the same thing?!
She strongly suspected he had done it on purpose.
Just as she thought, men were fundamentally shameless.
Even if she was just his ex-girlfriend, he still found every opportunity to shamelessly flirt with her.
A man like that was nothing but repulsive.
For the rest of the meal, she didn't cast a single glance his way, nor did she say another word to him.
She devoted all her attention to playing with Tilly.
On the ride back, the little girl fell asleep in the car.
Laura took her home, while Edmond swapped cars, personally driving Sheila back to his villa.
The entire drive, she remained dead silent.
Edmond ignored her just the same.
Yvaine sent her another message.
Having been caught up on the whole situation, she simply urged Sheila to be careful.
She trusted that her friend had a good head on her shoulders.
A heart that had been shattered so brutally by a man wasn't something that healed easily.
So what if he never actually married Jewel Baker?
The fact that they had been engaged was still real.
Regardless of his current status, what he did back then caused damage that was utterly unforgivable.
