Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 202

Chapter 202

Never did it cross Chelsea's mind that Edmund would bring her food again.

However, she got over the shock quickly. She remembered that she had cried her eyes out a while ago. Her face must be so red and swollen. She held her face and tried to slam the door shut.

The last thing she wanted was for Edmund to see her in this vulnerable and messy state. She felt that he would relish seeing her like this. After all, he used to enjoy seeing her sad.

Before Chelsea could slam the door, Edmund stretched out his leg and held it open. "Come on, Chelsea."

He could tell at a glance that she had cried her eyes out.

The sight of her swollen face and red eyes made his heart ache. He hated seeing her like this.

"I'm so sorry, Chelsea. You can hit me or call me names. You can do anything to vent your anger. I really want to make it up to you. I will also do whatever you want. Just name it," Edmund said apologetically, his foot still holding the door.

Chelsea scoffed and glared at him. "You want to make it up to me? Fine! I want you to stop disturbing me. Let's be like total strangers. Stay away from me. Can you do that?"

Every bad thing that happened to Chelsea was because of him. She wanted nothing to do with him.

Edmund's heart sank when he heard her request. He could only stare at her with sad eyes.

It was weird that a powerful man like Edmund was looking at her with such sad eyes. Chelsea couldn't bear it, so she spun on her heels and started walking away.

"Wait!" Edmund found his tongue as he pulled her back. He uttered, "Chelsea, I was serious about what I said back at the warehouse."

He had admitted that he was in love with her in the presence of many people.

But she insisted that they could only be strangers. How could he stay away from someone he loved? Impossible!

Without mincing words, Chelsea said, "I don't give a hoot how you feel! Just stay away from me. Tell your family to leave me alone too!"

Edmund's face darkened even more. Chelsea expected him to flare up. After all, she had been telling him off times without number. He must be feeling humiliated.

A lump went up Edmund's throat as he stared at her for a long time. He swallowed hard. Afterward, he held out the lunch box toward her and said, "Here you go. Please eat the food."

Before she could refuse, he added, "You either take it from me willingly, or I will go in and watch you eat."

Chelsea quickly collected the lunch box and shut the door in his face.

It was unheard of that Edmund, the president of the Nelson Group, got rejected by a woman. But he

just sighed and turned to leave.

He reasoned that Chelsea was yet to get over the shock of getting kidnapped by his sister. Her anger might skyrocket if he continued to pester her now.

When Edmund got into his car, he made a call to Brayan. "I'll send you Chelsea's phone number after I drop this call. You have to call her later. She wants to sue Sonya, so I want you to be her legal counsel."

Brayan had heard what happened from Yusuf. He sighed and said pitifully, "People often come to me and request me to be their lawyer. This is the first time I have to ask someone if they need my legal assistance."

"Come on, dude. I'm asking you to do me this favor as a friend. Is it too much to ask?" Edmund uttered with disgust.

Brayan was taken aback by his shout.

Why was he claiming to be asking for a favor when he was speaking so rudely? What a rude guy!

Despite the thoughts in his head, Brayan said jokingly, "You are an upright man, Edmund. You're standing for what is right even though your sister is involved. Anyway, it's high time Sonya is taught a good lesson!"

Brayan couldn't help being confused at this moment. How could two people be so different even though they had the same parents?

After a pause, Brayan added thoughtfully, "Come to think of it. Chelsea won't ask me for help. She's dating a veteran actor now. I'm sure he will hire a good lawyer for her."

Edmund slapped his forehead as he got upset. What kind of friends did he have? Why were they always making fun of him?

"There's no point assuming whether or not she will accept. Just call her first!" Edmund didn't care if Luka would help Chelsea. He wanted to offer help first.

"Okay, I will do," Brayan replied.

Just when Edmund was about to hang up, he heard a female roar from the other end of the line. "Brayan, did you smoke at home again? I have told you times without number, stop smoking in here! You have to sleep in the guest room until the nasty smell of cigarettes dissipates. You are exhausting!"

Brayan kept mute as he was being scolded.

Edmund burst into laughter. His long-awaited chance to laugh at Brayan was here, so he milked it. "Mr. Collins, you are getting scolded like a two-year-old in your own home. He-he! You can't even smoke there. Why do you always pretend that your home is blissful?"

Brayan didn't get angry. "You know nothing, pal. She's scolding me because she cares about my health!"

"Bah! How are you so sure? Something tells me she's doing it because she hates the smell of cigarettes!"

Brayan tried to defend himself and his wife at the same time. "How can you know my wife more than me? Believe me when I say that she's doing it for my own good."

Edmund knew that arguing with Brayan was a lost cause. "You are a lawyer. I can't win this argument. Have fun with your wife. I hope she won't throw you out when you smoke again. Bye!"

After hanging up, Edmund made a call to Leo. " I want you to find out when Roy intends to leave Vertoak. Try to convince him to stay another day."

He felt that Chelsea must be filled with regret since she didn't get to meet Roy.

He wanted to make her happy by setting up a meeting with Roy.

"Okay, I will do that now." Leo immediately contacted Roy after the call ended.

Edmund received a call from his grandfather just when he ended the talk with Leo.

"Your mother is making a fuss here. You have to come to see her when you are free," Ethan said worriedly.

"Okay," Edmund remarked with a frown.

It didn't come as a surprise that his mother went to Ethan's house to make a scene. He knew she did it because of Sonya.

Alena had called him and given him an earful because of what happened. She said he was heartless for allowing the cops to whisk his sister away and preventing anyone from bailing her out.

With a dead serious tone, he said, "She deserves to be punished by the law for what she did. Sonya's bad behavior needs to be nipped in the bud. Otherwise, she will do something worse in the future!"
