Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 183

Chapter 183

Chelsea thought that Edmund sending her dinner was just a one-time thing. But he showed up at her door the next evening.

When she opened the door and saw him holding takeout bags, she didn't want to let him in. "Mr. Nelson, I appreciate your kindness. But you don't have to do this anymore. My foot has recovered."

"No, it hasn't, Chelsea. You got hurt because of me. I won't rest assured until you completely recover," Edmund said calmly, walking past her into the apartment.

Chelsea had no choice but to eat the food he brought with him. Afterward, she made him a cup of coffee like the night before. The night went on peacefully and Edmund left for his house.

The third evening, Chelsea wasn't at home when Edmund arrived.

He rang the doorbell for a long time before he finally decided to call her. Chelsea said from the other end of the line, "Good evening, Mr. Nelson. I'm sorry. I am currently not at home."

Edmund frowned and asked immediately, "Why did you go out? Has your foot fully healed? The doctor said you should stay put!"

Chelsea replied seriously, "I've been applying the ointment judiciously for the last three days. The swelling is gone and the pain has subsided, so I can move freely."

Edmund let out an exasperated sigh. He then inquired, "Where are you?"

"Out of town," Chelsea replied briefly.

It was obvious she didn't want to tell him her exact location. Edmund gritted his teeth and said reluctantly, "Okay, take care."

"You too, Mr. Nelson."

The call ended on an awkward note. Edmund's heart sank for some weird reason. Staring at the takeout bags he brought, he lost his appetite.

He strangely had a good appetite for the last two nights when he had dinner with Chelsea.

His appetite had been very bad after the big health scare he had the last time. None of the foods he normally ate appealed to his taste buds. But with Chelsea, he ate just about anything.

Edmund took the food back to his residence. As he nibbled on it, he called Fay and asked her if she knew Chelsea's whereabouts.

Fay answered in the negative. She didn't even know that Chelsea went out of town.

Lost in thought, Edmund tapped his phone screen after hanging up. He then called Zuri.

Zuri immediately became mischievous when she heard his question. "Of course, I know where she is!"

"Where is she? Tell me!" Edmund hurriedly asked.

"She's at Luka's hometown," Zuri replied truthfully, placing emphasis on the last two words.

A pang of pain plagued Edmund's heart when he heard this. "What? Why did she go there?"

"Well, you already know the answer, so I won't bother answering you. You just have to stop living in denial," Zuri intoned with a provocative voice.

Edmund almost blew a short fuse when he heard those words.

He did have an answer in mind, but it was unpleasant. He didn't want to accept it.

Luka's mother was sick. Since Chelsea went to his hometown, she definitely went to visit her. And that meant only one thing.

She cared about Luka so much that her concern extended to his family members. There was a high probability that they might start dating officially soon.

After Zuri didn't get any response from Edmund, she continued, "Mr. Nelson, you have to understand that it's normal for Chelsea to seek love."

Edmund couldn't hold back anymore. He blurted out angrily, "But she said she loved me. Is this how she shows her love? Chelsea divorced me and vanished into thin air. And now that she's back, she threw herself into another man's arms!"

Zuri cackled on the other end of the phone. She then said mockingly, "Mr. Nelson, you seem to be forgetting something. You and Chelsea have no vows binding you together anymore. So, she didn't throw herself into another man's arms as you claim. A whole year is enough for a woman to get remarried and even get pregnant for another man after divorce. But Chelsea didn't even give love

another chance until now."

These words made Edmund even more depressed. He hung up the phone without uttering another word.

It hurt him so much to learn that Chelsea had decided to move on with another man. However, he didn't want to accept it.

After a few minutes, he picked up the phone, intending to ask Chelsea if what Zuri said was true. But his hand froze. It dawned on him that he had no right to pry into her private life. They were already divorced. Chelsea hadn't agreed to patch things up with him, so she didn't owe him anything.

The fact that she refused to disclose her exact location was enough to indicate her stand.

She wanted to keep him at arm's length no matter what. This went on to say that she wouldn't entertain any questions from him about her love life.
