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. I 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.
“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.”
