Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 215

Chapter 215

Without changing his mind, Edmund walked towards the gate. Chelsea let him take the luggage since she didn't want to squabble in public. They saw Diane when they entered the cabin. Since they were all in business class, they met Diane and Gerry. Diane was sitting close to Chelsea and Edmund.

As the flight proceeded smoothly, Chelsea pushed her chair back and put her eye mask on to sleep. This way, she wouldn't have to talk to Edmund and Diane. Edmund didn't try to rest. He just sat there and concentrated on work. Diane tried to strike up conversations with Edmund several times, however, he didn't even spare her a glance. She was furious and quietly gritted her teeth.

It wasn't a long flight and they soon landed. Chelsea and Edmund took a car to the hotel. However, when they arrived at the hotel to check in, they met Diane and Gerry again. Was this really a coincidence at this point?

It was clear Diane had checked Edmund's hotel address, so she booked the same hotel to meet them on purpose. She had also checked the flight they took. There was no way Edmund wouldn't notice when even Chelsea had figured it out. However, he didn't want to talk to them. After collecting the room card, he showed Chelsea to her room. "You can rest now. We will have dinner later."

Nodding her head, Chelsea did as he asked. She hadn't expected Edmund would ask the hotel restaurant to send food to her room for dinner though. Standing at her room door, Edmund asked, "Do you want to have dinner in my room or yours?"

Chelsea's mouth opened, but she couldn't form an answer. She felt it was inappropriate to eat in the room of either of them.

"It's late now. We can either have dinner in one of our rooms, or in the restaurant downstairs. Do you

want to head downstairs and meet those two again?" Edmund asked. He knew what she was thinking. Not waiting for her answer, he beckoned to the waiter to push in the food trolley.

Chelsea could do nothing now that he had made the decision. She washed her hands and sat down at the table to have dinner with Edmund. She was able to stay in such a luxurious suite thanks to Edmund. The waiter placed the dishes on the table and left. Edmund ordered a bottle of red wine as well, but Chelsea obviously wasn't interested in having any. Edmund poured her a glass and asked, "Why not have some? I know you can hold your liquor."

"I'm going to be busy tomorrow, so I can't drink. I don't want to get a hangover." Truthfully, she simply didn't want to drink with Edmund. She felt it was inappropriate to drink with her ex-husband at a hotel in the nighttime.

"I think you can drink as much as you want. It won't be a big deal if you down this bottle," Edmund said, holding her gaze.

Chelsea was uncomfortable. Was he praising her or being sarcastic? She took a sip of wine in order to get him off her back. Her phone rang just as they began to eat. It was a call from Luka.

Chelsea got up and walked over to the bedroom, leaving Edmund at the table. Edmund immediately became upset. He had been so happy to be with Chelsea, however, Luka's call reminded him that Chelsea was now Luka's girlfriend.

"Had dinner yet?" Luka asked Chelsea on the phone, his voice full of tenderness. Luka was aware that Chelsea and Edmund were on a business trip together. Chelsea had told him about it before they left. It was business, so Luka understood and wasn't unreasonable.

Chelsea told everything after thinking for a while. "I'm eating. Mr. Nelson and I are having dinner in my room," she said, being honest.

Luka chortled. "You don't have to give me the details, Chelsea. I'm only your boyfriend in name after all. I trust you won't do anything with Edmund."

Chelsea was touched by Luka's trust and tolerance. They discussed the negotiation she would handle the next day after that. Luka reassured her and said she would succeed for sure. There was a smile on her face when she returned to the table.

Edmund's heart hurt at the sight. She didn't smile at him all the way from Vertoak till that very moment. Yet she was smiling so happily now. It seemed Luka made her happy. Edmund turned away and downed the wine in his glass.

Chelsea was surprised to find the wine bottle empty as she put her phone away and sat down. "Did you really drink the whole bottle?" She was shocked.

He hadn't eaten his food, but he drank all the wine. Had he forgotten he had a stomachache? He wasn't supposed to drink too much.

Edmund didn't bother pretending. "I am in a bad mood. I didn't realize when I drank it all."

Chelsea was powerless. What made him seem so sad? Was it Luka's call? Chelsea decided to ignore him and finish her meal. She picked up the knife and fork and continued to eat.

Seeing Chelsea's indifference, Edmund's mood worsened. He took the glass he had poured for her and

downed that as well. Chelsea almost jumped from the shock of his sudden movement. Why did he drink her wine? It was an indirect kiss!

Seeing her anger, Edmund explained as if it wasn't a big deal, "You weren't drinking anyway."

Having enough, she finally answered him, "I already had some though!"

Edmund's brows raised. "So what?"

Chelsea was angry enough to laugh. What a shameless man! As she was fuming, Edmund got up all of a sudden. "I'm done eating." He then turned around and left.

Chelsea was perplexed. Shouldn't she be the one who was angry? Why was he the one going off in a sulk?
