Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 231

Chapter 231

Edmund couldn't hide his feelings anymore.

He put down his cutlery and looked at Chelsea with seriousness in his eyes. "Chelsea, I can't hide it anymore."

"What can't you hide?" Chelsea asked, her eyebrows knitting in confusion.

"I want you back," Edmund blurted out.

Chelsea was stunned.

When Edmund rescued her the last time, he admitted that he had fallen in love with her.

But she didn't pay attention to it. She was still in a state of shock because of the kidnapping at that time.

A day ago, he said that he should have kidnapped her and forcefully gotten married to her. She just excused his behavior since he was drunk.

But now that he was clear-headed, he boldly said that he wanted her back.

Chelsea finally calmed down after jarring out from the abyss of thoughts. She then replied indifferently, "I have a boyfriend now."

"So what?" Edmund commented with a frown.

Chelsea stared at him, short of words.

Edmund said exasperatedly, "We were once married, but we got divorced. What makes the relationship between you and Luka any different? You guys can break up sooner or later!"

Edmund didn't give a damn about her new relationship. He intended to put them asunder no matter what. He vowed to do so in his mind.

Chelsea was too irritated to say anything. Although her relationship with Luka was fake, she found it so annoying that Edmund was so sure that they would break up. The nerve of him!

Only a few minutes ago, she had been happy with him because of the present he got her. He spoiled their good interaction by getting on her nerves now. Frowning deeply, she stood up and said unhappily, "I'm done with this conversation. Finish your food and leave!"

Just when she was about to walk out on him, Edmund held her hand and uttered seriously, "I'm dead serious, Chelsea."

Chelsea got rid of his hold. Staring at him gravely, she said, "Wake up, Edmund! It's high time you think hard about your feelings for me!"

Edmund raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean?"

Chelsea folded her arms and explained, "The way I see it, you aren't in love with me. You are chasing me because you feel what you can't get easily is the best."

Edmund went mute.

Her words were like a thousand knives stabbing his heart. He truly loved her, but she didn't believe him.

Suppressing his hurt, Edmund uttered, "I'm not a child, Chelsea. As a thirty-two-year-old man, how can I not know my true feelings?"

Even though Chelsea didn't say a word, her eyes held the answer: You just don't understand your feelings at all.

When he was about to say something else, Chelsea chirped, "Alas! There's another reason why you are claiming to love me!"

Edmund raised his eyebrows, hinting at her to spill. She took a step back and said vigilantly, "It was a slap in the face for you when I asked for a divorce. Perhaps you still hold a grudge against me. Now you want me back so you can dump me when I least expect, isn't that right?"

"What?" Edmund's complexion became many shades redder. He slapped the table and yelled, "How many movies have you created, Chelsea? Why did you come to such a conclusion?"

This was the most ridiculous thing Edmund had ever heard. If he truly wanted to get back at her, he had a thousand and one ways to do that. Why would he choose to sacrifice his bachelorhood for revenge?

The two exes stared at each other until Chelsea's phone rang.

Diane's voice came from the other end of the line. "Hey, are you free tomorrow?"

Her voice didn't sound as rude as usual. It was clear she was struggling to sound polite.

Chelsea replied tonelessly, "What's wrong?"

Diane sneered, "What's wrong? Don't you know? Mr. Ellis asked me to apologize to you face-to-face. He said you must forgive me. Otherwise, he will inform the public about my company's cheating."

This news took Chelsea aback. She didn't think Roy would order Diane to do such a thing.

Nonetheless, she had to admit that this was what she wanted.

It gladdened her heart to imagine how furious Diane was then and there. She reasoned that she had to thank Roy for giving her the golden opportunity to see Diane so humiliated.

Chelsea replied frankly, "Well, I'm free tomorrow. When and where do you want us to meet?"

Diane grunted in anger. It annoyed her so much that Chelsea was willing to meet with her just to get an apology. She thought Chelsea would refuse to meet her so she could use it as an excuse to get off Roy's hook.

The only response Chelsea got was dead silence. At this time, Edmund wrote the name of a café on a piece of paper and showed it to her. She said, "Since you don't know where we can meet, I'll choose a place. How about Times Coffee?"

Diane cackled evilly as soon as she heard those words. "Do you have any idea how expensive that

café is? Can you afford to buy me a cup of coffee there if I agree?"

Diane never let any opportunity to mock Chelsea pass her by. If she had her way, she would stomp Chelsea into the ground until she could never come up again.

Chelsea scoffed. "Is this how you intend to apologize to me, Diane? Besides, when did I say anything about sorting the bill? You are the one that wants to apologize, so why do I need to pay for your cup of coffee?"

Anger made Diane's skin burn hot. She clenched her phone tightly, not uttering a word.

Chelsea knew all about Times Coffee. She had learned the art of coffee making there.

It was all thanks to Yusuf. He owned the café and recommended she study there.

With a faint smile, Chelsea added, "By the way, you seem to have forgotten that I'm working on 'The Crown' and have just taken over the adaption of Mr. Ellis's new book. Money is not a problem for me."

Her proud tone fanned Diane's anger.

She gnashed her teeth and said, "Fine! Let's meet there at ten o'clock tomorrow. Don't even dare keep me waiting!"

Before she could hang up, Chelsea intoned seriously, "You'd better watch your tone, Diane. If you speak to me like this tomorrow, I'll be sure to tell Mr. Ellis that your apology was insincere. The ball is in your court."

"Why does Diane want to see you?" Edmund asked with a frown as soon as Chelsea hung up the phone.

Once he got an explanation, his frown was replaced with a serious expression. "That's good. She indeed owes you an apology."

He then added, "You need to know that Times Coffee is Yusuf's. You can go there whenever you want to meet anyone. The shop attendants there will protect you if things go haywire."
