Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 243

Chapter 243

Edmund pulled his tie irritably.

He knew exactly why Chelsea blocked him. It was because he told her to break up with Luka.

"Gosh! This woman is really... Her temper is getting out of hand!"

Edmund massaged his temples and took deep breaths. With his hands on his hips, he asked Fay, "I need you to answer this question real quick. If you are in love with someone, will you affix 'Mr' to his name or call him by his work title?"

Fay pondered for a while. She lowered her eyes and replied, "Yes, I will."

She always addressed the man she loved as Mr. Collins.

Edmund frowned.

This wasn't the response he was expecting. His instincts told him that the relationship between Chelsea and Luka wasn't real. Now that he heard Fay's response, he wasn't so sure anymore.

Squinting his eyes at Fay, he wondered if his ex-wife was truly in love with her so-called boyfriend.

In the evening, Edmund asked Yusuf and Chris out for dinner.

Chris, who always stayed away from alcohol, poured himself a glass of wine.

"Hey, man! Did you break up with your girlfriend?" Yusuf asked.

"What girlfriend? I don't love any woman, so why would I go through a breakup?" Sensing that his friend asked that question because he was drinking, Chris explained, "I have been stressed due to work lately. I just want to relax my nerves."

"Oh, I see. How are you and Zora coming along?" Yusuf asked, squinting at him.

Chris rolled his eyes. "What sort of question is that? I don't have anything to do with her. We are just co-workers."

Yusuf rubbed his palms together and said excitedly, "Since you don't have anything to do with her, I'll chase her!"

Chris spat out a mouthful of wine.

"Easy there, dude." Yusuf handed him a piece of tissue paper. He then added, "Why do you look so nervous? Or don't you want me to chase her?"

Chris wiped his mouth and took a sip of water. After calming down, he queried, "Aren't you about to get married?"

"Who said anything about getting married? I already told my folks that I'm not doing that shit," Yusuf replied indifferently.

"Really? Why did you refuse to get married so easily?" Chris inquired curiously.

With a shrug, Yusuf answered, "It's pretty simple. I don't have feelings for those women. Why should I imprison myself by getting married to one of them? If my parents are unhappy, they can disown me. No one can force me to do what I don't want to."

Yusuf was only accepted into the Collins family when he was eighteen years old. If it weren't for the fact that his father's wife couldn't have a male child, he wouldn't have been recognized since he was an illegitimate child.

A hint of sadness suddenly appeared on his face. He glanced at Edmund, who was next to him and said, "You know, I recently took a liking to Fay. But this guy right here banned me from getting close to her."

Edmund shot him a searing glare.

Yusuf turned to Chris and asked, "I hope you won't stand in my way now that I have decided to pursue Zora?"

Chris uttered seriously, "As the future director of Vertoak Hospital, I warn you against toying with my employee. Stay away from her!"

Chris was not just any doctor. He was next in line for the position of director. Although the hospital belonged to his family, he chose to practice medicine low-key. He started from the bottom when he was employed in the hospital.

Yusuf guffawed. "You have got to be kidding me! You don't have the right to dictate who your employee dates. Just tell me that you don't want me to chase her because you are into her."

Sparing his friend no time to respond, Yusuf added, "Stop slacking, dude. Chase her since you like her!"

Chris rolled his eyes.

"Who likes Zora? Definitely not me. I'm only looking out for you, man. Zora is a heartless woman. She will break your heart into pieces. You better stay away from that beautiful man-eating monster," he mumbled to himself.

He wished he could tear Zora apart when he recalled what she did to him.

Yusuf lit a cigarette and glanced at Edmund, who smoking silently. "What's up with you, man? You haven't said a word since we got here. Are you unhappy?"

Yusuf saw himself as an expert when it came to women's affairs. He intended to advise his friends, who were novices.

Edmund puffed out smoke and asked, "What do I do now that she blocked me?"

Yusuf sat up in surprise. "Chelsea blocked you? Didn't you two just come back from a business trip? I thought you both were gradually mending fences. Whoa! That woman is really something!"

Edmund stared at his friend embarrassedly.

With his eyebrows raised, Yusuf asked, "What did you do to her? Or was it something you said?"

Edmund puffed out another ball of smoke before answering, "Well, I kissed her forcefully."

Yusuf let out an exasperated sigh. "I thought it was something serious. What's the big deal? Haven't you both had sex yet?"

"Hey, you aren't helping matters!" Edmund uttered in a clipped tone.

He wasn't in Chelsea's good books yet. Kissing her today earned him a spot on her blocked list. If he tried to have sex with her, she would block him in real life. How could he even do such a thing?

Yusuf cupped his hands and said apologetically, "I'm sorry. It skipped my mind that you are no longer a powerful man. I should have known that you can't try anything with Chelsea even if you wanted to."

"I'll bundle you up and fly you to Norrmalm first thing tomorrow morning!" Edmund threatened, his eyes blazing with fury.

Yusuf was at a loss. "Norrmalm? Why would you send me there? I have no business dealing there!"

Edmund sneered at him. "You are talkative. Maybe you can learn speeches there!"

Yusuf murdered him with his eyes. His so-called friend was insulting him.

He didn't want to talk to him anymore. He took out his phone and saw the hot news.

"What the fuck!" he cursed, his eyes widening.

"What happened?" Edmund and Chris asked in unison, staring at him.

Yusuf cautiously handed the phone to Edmund and said, "Luka's mysterious girlfriend has appeared. She went to Luka's home late at night with his cat."

Edmund's face suddenly darkened. He snatched the phone and carefully stared at the news on the screen.

In the video, a woman walked into Luka's house with a cat carrier in her hand. The brim of her hat was lowered. She didn't leave until the video was released.

Luka had been keeping the cat for many years, so his fans knew it well.

The cat carrier was the exact one Luka used for Sweet. He had customized it. There was a portrait of the cat on it.

Edmund could tell at a glance that the woman, whose body was tightly wrapped in a windbreaker, was none other than his ex-wife!
