It wouldn't make sense.
Before meeting Alice and Elsa, Edward was a broken man with no ambitions and an unproductive employee lucky to not be fired. He got this job because he was a talented student from a good university but after years of doing absolutely nothing, no way he finds even a similar job.
Current Edward just had a promotion, makes good money and is on the shortlist of the big boss, one of the most influential man in UK. Why leave that situation and getting far from the girl he wants?
