Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

"Your grandfather asked me to keep it a secret, but now I'm telling you. If you really don't intend to pester Chelsea, then don't
show up tomorrow. But if you still like her, then you're more than welcome to get involved," Yusuf said seriously.
Edmund replied in disgust, "Why are you being ridiculous?"
"Oh, am I being ridiculous? I don't think so, Edmund. Look at me. I don't have any feelings for Chelsea, so I sincerely hope that
she has a great time on her date tomorrow," Yusuf retorted and shrugged.
"Can't you be happy for her like I am?" he then asked.
Edmund answered disdainfully, "Of course I can."
Yusuf gave him a thumbs up and raised his glass.
He toasted to Edmund, a stubborn man. If Edmund could just own up to his feelings, things would be a lot easier.

Early morning the next day, Chelsea received a call from Ethan. The ringing of her phone woke her up.
He called to remind her of the blind date that he had arranged for her this noon.
Chelsea couldn't bear to disappoint Ethan, so she had no choice but to agree.
She figured that when she finally met the guy Ethan set her up with, she would just be honest with him and tell him that she
wasn't looking to date men at the moment.
At ten o'clock, Zuri knocked on Chelsea's door with her personal makeup artist. Chelsea was absorbed in writing when Zuri
arrived, and she was still in her pajamas when she opened the door.
Yesterday, Zuri told Ethan that she would dress Chelsea up for the date. Chelsea thought Zuri was just kidding, so she was

startled when she saw Zuri standing outside her door with her makeup artist.
Zuri came in, grabbed Chelsea by the shoulders, and looked at her up and down. "Honey, don't you have a date at noon? It's
already ten o'clock. What are you still doing in your pajamas?"
Rubbing her sore neck, Chelsea replied, "I don't plan on dressing up. I just need to put on some clean, decent clothes."
Smacking her forehead and clicking her tongue, Zuri was speechless. She immediately called over her makeup artist and told
her to start doing Chelsea's hair and makeup.
Zuri's fussing made Chelsea dizzy. "It's just a lunch date, Zuri. Why do you have to make it so troublesome?"
Zuri lazily leaned against the sofa and said, "Why do you think it's troublesome? I usually need to prepare two hours before
events or activities. I'm making it simple for you right now."
Chelsea sighed, "I suppose being a female star isn't easy."
The makeup artist quickly began to help Chelsea with her makeup. Chelsea watched herself in the mirror as her face slowly
became delicate and beautiful. She couldn't help taking a stroll down memory lane.
Over the years, she had only dressed up a total of two times.
The first time was the day she got a marriage certificate with Edmund.
With Zuri's help, she carefully selected a lovely dress and put on gorgeous makeup.
Seeing Chelsea with her hair and makeup done that time, Zuri couldn't help squealing with delight and chirping, "You look as
beautiful as a fairy."
Chelsea was amused by her. Zuri also said that Chelsea looked pretty when she smiled and told her to smile more in front of
Edmund. That way, she might fascinate him and capture his attention.

Unfortunately, Edmund didn't even take a glance at Chelsea that day.
After going through the formalities with a cold look on his face the entire time, he just left without looking back.
Chelsea could do nothing then but stand there and watch him walk away. She felt like an invisible hand drove a knife through her
heart.
The second time that she dressed up was on the anniversary party of the Nelson Group a year ago.
That day, she asked Edmund for a divorce in public and walked away with her head held high.
The first time she dressed up, she did it to get close to Edmund. The second time, it was to say goodbye to him.
Today, she dressed up to go on a date with a stranger.
Chelsea closed her eyes and let Zuri's skillful makeup artist doll her up. She thought that maybe it was time for a new start.
