Mr. Nelsonn Winning His Ex-wife’s Heart

Chapter: 39
Luka continued to blow Chelsea's trumpet in her absence. “Chelsea is so gifted
that I think she would have still taken the screenwriting world by storm even if Mr.
Lewis didn’t mentor her. It's such a pity that she didn't kick-start her career full-
time immediately after graduation. If she hadn't gotten married to you, she would
have been famous by now.”
To remain a diligent wife, Chelsea had made her career take the backseat. She
could only work part-time even though it was her dream to work full-time Like
every other career woman.
It was crystal clear that Luka was saying that Edmund had prevented Chelsea
from living her dreams. This indirect insult made Edmund's blood boil. He glared
at Luka for a few seconds, while squeezing the paper in his hand. Afterward, he
stormed out without saying anything more.
Chelsea was not only the best graduating student in her class, but also the first
person Eugene ever offered to mentor. It was so annoying that he had to find out
important details about his ex-wife from an outsider. Intense sadness mixed with
irritation settled like a boulder in his gut.
It was a slap in the face that he didn’t know that Chelsea was this excellent
although they once Lived under the same roof and shared the same bed.
Just because Edmund felt that she and her father had set him up, he hated her
so much and didn’t even bother to get to know her. She was just a shameless
gold-digger in his eyes.
The only way he could vent his anger was by torturing Chelsea in bed. Her body
gave him pleasure and her cries were pleasant to his ears.
Months passed before his anger reduced. He no longer loathed her as before,
but he couldn't bring himself to treat her right. He continued to treat her as if they
were just housemates. On no occasion did he bother to get to know her. In this
way, Chelsea remained a familiar stranger to him until their divorce.
Gloom was written all over Edmund's face when he stormed out of Luka’s office.
Diane walked to him and held his arm. She asked lovingly, “How did your
discussion with Mr. Pierce go? You look pissed. Did he say anything wrong?”
“Let's go. I'll take you home,” Edmund said, ignoring her question.
Diane rested her head on his arm and acted cute.
“My home is boring. I want to spend time with you today. How about we go on a
date?”
“No. I told you yesterday that I have a lot of work on my hands currently,”
Edmund said, looking down at her with a slight frown.
Sensing his brewing irritation, Diane knew it was best not to be pushy. She
suggested, “Okay, I'll go home. But how about we have dinner later tonight? You
know, we haven't dined together in ages.”
“Okay, I'll tell Leo to make a reservation for tonight and inform you about it.”
Edmund gave in.
Still acting cute, Diane suggested, “l want to have steak tonight. How about
making a reservation in that Italian restaurant we frequently go to?”
Edmund stopped dead in his tracks. For some weird reason, the smell and sight
of steak irritated him ever since he discovered that Chelsea was allergic to beef
and mutton. He didn’t want to have it tonight.
“I have been experiencing stomach upset lately, so I don't want to eat steak
today. I'd rather have a plate of salad or something else that’s easily digestible.”
Edmund turned down Diane’s suggestion indifferently.

eyes. She was a lover of steak, just
like Edmund. They always had steak
whenever they were eating together.

few things they had in common. The

“Uh-huh!” Edmund nodded as he walked. His stomach upset had been recurrent
in the past year. Almost everything he ate made him feel uncomfortable.
Most of the meals he ate during his marriage were cooked by Chelsea. He
always had three full-course meals every day at that time.

Chelsea had made his diet one of her
top priorities. She always reminded
him not to eat any kind of food
outside in order not to have a
stomach upset. He used to be
irritated by her constant reminder.
But after they divorced, he realized
that she was right all along. The
