Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 163

Chapter 163

Edmund still remembered the very moment he saw Chelsea at the anniversary ceremony, she was in a scarlet red dress that glimmered with every step she took. Her enchanting red lips had reminded him of exquisite wine. Even then, he could still remember her cold, resolute look. One that he had never seen on Chelsea's face before.

Ever since that day, Edmund had instinctively steered clear of women in bright clothes or those who had vibrant red lips.

She had thrown the divorce papers at his face in front of so many people. Not only disgracing him by the action but also creating a permanent scar in his heart that ached every time he thought of it.

Sensing Edmund's venomous glare, Yusuf raised his hands in surrender and apologized with a smile, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have mentioned it."

Only then did Edmund's face soften a little.

The dinner went on into the night. After Edmund checked his phone more than a dozen times, Yusuf asked curiously, "Is there something wrong?"

Edmund replied, "What do you mean?"

Yusuf pointed at his phone and said, "You keep looking at your phone. It seems like you are waiting for something."

Edmund didn't know how to respond to that.

How could he say that he was waiting for Chelsea's text response?

With how violently he had reacted at her place, Chelsea should have sensed that he was angry. The least she could do was send him a message to ask him what was wrong.

However, he still hadn't received any message from her.

It seemed that Chelsea didn't care whether he was angry or not. His disappointment at the thought was evident.

She didn't care about him anymore, so it didn't bother her if he was angry or not.

Unlike before, when his happiness, anger, and sadness affected her too.

"Nothing." Edmund sighed.

Yusuf and Chris gave each other a look but said nothing.

After the dinner, Edmund drove away first. While Yusuf went with Chris.

After thinking for a while, Chris sighed, "I guess he can't accept the fact that Chelsea is being indifferent to what happened tonight."

Obviously, both Yusuf and Chris knew the real reason why Edmund kept checking his phone.

Yusuf leaned against the car lazily and said, "I think he still doesn't get it. That Chelsea is treating him

as a stranger. He still thinks that Chelsea will always care about him."

Chris stretched out his arms in exhaustion. "Will he get the idea when Chelsea finally finds someone else?"

"Who knows?" Yusuf shrugged. He could only imagine how angry Edmund would be if that ever happened.

Chris sighed, "If he understands the situation only by then, it would be late."

Chelsea had been so submissive back when she was with Edmund, so he had probably believed that she would always be around him, clinging to him.

Because of that, Edmund was still arrogant.

————

Edmund's anger was the farthest thing from Chelsea's mind. On the contrary, his rudeness made her blood boil in rage. When Edmund had helped her drive away Hilton and his son, she had unconsciously started warming up to him.

But when he slammed the door tonight, she realized that no matter what happened, he would never change.

His pride and self-centeredness were something he would never get rid of for anyone.

On Saturday night, Chelsea and Zuri were getting ready for the dinner party.

Chelsea was wearing a dress that Zuri had picked out for her. It was a simple black dress, that hung low revealing her back a little.

Zuri had said that Chelsea's back was smooth and beautiful, that it was something worth showing off.

Zuri, herself was absolutely stunning in a golden evening dress that emphasized on her shapely figure.

She was outstanding even among the other female stars. Anyone who stood beside her would be naturally overwhelmed by her beauty.

Since the drama Zuri and Orlando starred in was being aired, Orlando had to attend the party with her as her escort.

Even though Zuri didn't like the fauxmance part at all, she couldn't change the reality of the world they were in.

That was the way in the entertainment circle. Once something was airing, the male and female protagonists would pretend to be a couple to attract high ratings and add to the fantasy of those who watched the show. There was no way around it.

Chelsea felt a little embarrassed at the thought of seeing Orlando again. The last time, he had beaten the assistant director and gotten into trouble for her. She still hadn't gotten over the guilt from that day.

When she was being scolded by the netizens, Orlando called her and said angrily that he would support her and stand with her against them.

Frightened by how much chaos that would have caused, Chelsea stopped him.

If Orlando had made a public announcement on Twitter about her, she would have been scolded even more as the netizens' attention turned towards his post. She would have been torn apart by his fans when she went out the next day or even murdered in her sleep.

Knowing what Chelsea was thinking with just one glance, Zuri smiled and said, "Why are you so afraid of seeing him? Just enjoy the love from that young handsome man calmly."

Chelsea felt a little helpless when she heard that. Then, Zuri added, "It's just the beginning."

Confused, Chelsea asked, "What?"

Holding her shoulder, Zuri looked at the charming Chelsea in the georgous black dress in the mirror and said seriously, "It's just the beginning of people pursuing you. There will be a lot of men lining up for you in the future. You have to learn to be calm in the midst of it all. Have you forgotten how popular you were when we were still in school?"

With her chin on Chelsea's shoulder, Zuri sighed, her eyes still on Chelsea in the mirror. "In senior high school, so many boys chased you, and even more in the university. If you hadn't loved Edmund first, you could have found a boyfriend who loved you very much. Someone who took care of you."

Chelsea was beautiful and gentle. She had been the dream girlfriend of many.

In the eyes of those who loved Chelsea, she was a treasure. Something that was supposed to be cherished.

However, Edmund had never thought of her as that. He had never thought of Chelsea seriously. And just thinking of that made Zuri angry.

Chelsea's thoughts drifted away with what Zuri said until all she could see was the past before her eyes. She also remembered the time when she was crazily pursued by boys.

At that time, she had been confident and sunny. And the world was full of roses back then.

After she met Edmund, all her confidence went down the drain bit by bit.

But she had never regretted.

She looked at herself in the mirror and said to Zuri with a smile, "I loved him with everything I had, and I didn't regret it."

She had loved and paid. Although she got hurt in the end, her conscience was clear.

Without knowing how to persuade her, Zuri complained, "You are so good. Edmund has an ex-wife who have never cried or made drama for him. He is so lucky."

Hearing that, Chelsea could only laugh out loud.

There were people and things more interesting than love and romance in the world. She wanted to experience them, to move on.
