Mr. Nelsonn Winning His Ex-wife’s Heart

Chapter: 53
A call from Luka came through. He asked Chelsea about the outcome of her
meeting with Edmund.
“Mr. Pierce, due to some unavoidable reasons, I wasn't able to discuss anything
with Mr. Nelson tonight,” Chelsea said without mincing words.
“What happened?” Luka asked with concern.
Although Chelsea was obligated to report what happened during the meeting,
she couldn't tell Luka what happened in detail. She was ashamed to say that
Diane showed up out of nowhere just when Edmund reached out to give her
pieces of tissue to wipe off the coffee stain on her clothes.
Such a scenario would make it seem Like she was in a love triangle with Edmund
and Diane. It would also seem like she was coming between the couple yet
again.
After pondering about it for a while, Chelsea finally said, “Oh, it's nothing. I have
just been thinking, Mr. Pierce. Considering that I have a past with Mr. Nelson, I
shouldn’t have gotten involved in the project. Please I would Like you to replace
me with someone else. I'm more than willing to hand over my work to the
replacement once you find one.”
Luka hazarded a guess immediately. He asked, “Let me get this straight. Are you
saying you want to quit?”
“Sort of.” Chelsea readily admitted.
She had been willing to work on the project even though Edmund was involved.
But as the insults and mockery she received earlier that night flashed in her
mind, she was fed up and decided to quit before things got out of hand.
It was no news that Edmund and Diane were tying the knot soon. Chelsea didn't
want to be in the news as the woman who was standing in the way of their love.
As a result, she wanted to make sure tonight's occurrence didn’t repeat itself.
“Okay, I see.” Luka’s voice lowered to a grumble. Without saying anything more,
he sighed and hung up the phone.
Edmund was in Yusuf's bar at this time.
He came here after dropping Diane off. The night was far spent, but he was yet
to have dinner. Yusuf asked his staff to prepare dinner for him.
He then kept Edmund company in a VIP room after asking a waiter to bring him a
bottle of wine. He drank alone, without offering his friend even as little as a sip.
“Hey, aren't you going to pour wine for me? I came to your bar to drink. Why
aren't you treating me well?” Edmund blew a short fuse when he saw that Yusuf
poured himself a glass and set the bottle of wine by his side.
“Sorry, pal. I don’t have any wine to give you tonight. Chelsea's return reminded
me that you usually have stomach troubles. What you need now is food, not
alcohol. So, let me drink in peace.”
Yusuf knew that his friend constantly had stomach upset. The only time Edmund
didn’t experience stomach upset was while he was married to Chelsea. He had
stayed away from alcohol and eaten right for three years, so Yusuf forgot about it
until recently.
Yusuf knocked his forehead in regret for a while. He then said, “l am sorry for
allowing you to drink a lot in the past year. I should have known better.”
Edmund, who was already sad, became depressed when he heard his ex-wife's
name.
