Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 236

"Don't scare it!" Chelsea stopped Edmund in time.

His hand froze for a moment, and although he was a little reluctant, he stood up and looked at Chelsea. "It's always hiding like this. When will it get familiar with you if you let this go on?"

Chelsea pursed her lips and shook her head. "It has to work at its own pace. Why do you want to push its limits?"

Edmund then glanced at the cat in Chelsea's arms and asked, "Or maybe you're just ignoring Arya because you have Luka's cat!"

Feeling offended, Chelsea put down the cat she was holding and looked at Edmund in disbelief. "Do you really see me as this heartless person?"

"Well, I don't know what to think because that's how you treat me. As for how you are with other people, I have no idea."

Chelsea had divorced him without any hesitation and without looking back, he still hurt from it.

Now Chelsea didn't want to talk to him, and she wouldn't even bother giving him something as simple as a smile.

To her, he was just making trouble out of nothing at the moment, and she wasn't very interested in continuing this conversation with him.

So, she changed the topic and said, "If you want to see Arya, I can help you!"

"No!" he said quickly, feeling panic rise within him.

The truth was that he just wanted to spend time with Chelsea. The cat was just an excuse to see her.

Chelsea then forced a stiff smile on her face and said, "In that case, why don't you go back to the company and take care of your business? You should have more important things to do, right?"

Edmund frowned when she said this.

He had just arrived, and already, Chelsea was kicking him out. She hadn't even offered him a seat.


"What are you going to have for lunch?" Edmund asked as a last resort after checking the time on his watch.

The bowl of noodles he had last time hadn't satisfied him in the least. He wanted to eat Chelsea's food. He wished they could go back to the days when Chelsea used to take care of him.

Chelsea sighed and answered, "I'll order takeout later."

Chelsea didn't really have enough time for other things. Before, all she had to do was concentrate on her writing. But now, she also had to take care of two cats, and that involved playing with them, and most especially building a relationship with the little one, Arya.

Considering this, she simply didn't have time to get into the kitchen and cook herself a meal.

Edmund was unhappy when she said she was going to order takeout.

"Chelsea, you used to like cooking before. What happened? Why are you always ordering takeout now?"

As a matter of fact, he had noticed that Chelsea rarely cooked her own meals since she came back.

"Well, I have work to finish as soon as possible, and I have two cats to care for. As you can tell, I don't have the time," Chelsea answered curtly. Besides, she didn't see anything wrong with ordering takeout. She wasn't the only one doing it.

However, Edmund was not just unhappy, but now sad about it.

Chelsea had clearly changed.

She now had her own job, and a career of her own to build up. She had none of that when she was with Edmund. All she had to do in that time, was take care of him.

Even if they did get back together, he now realized that it would never be like it was in the past. They had both changed.

He felt conflicted at the moment. He didn't know if he should feel sad or happy for Chelsea.

Suddenly feeling out of place, he gulped and said, "I guess I'll take my leave now and stop disturbing you then."

Chelsea forced that smile again and politely saw him out. If she was being honest, she wanted him gone from the moment he came in.

It looked like Edmund didn't get the hint, because when he stood out of the door, he said, "Shouldn't you invite me for lunch since I gave you a cat?"

Chelsea's eyebrows shot up in surprise. She had never seen anyone like him. He literally asked people to thank him when he gave the person something. How didn't he feel embarrassed when he did this?

Although surprised, Chelsea didn't lose her smile. "I thought you gave it to me as a reward for winning the adaptation right of Roy's new book."

Edmund was speechless.

How did Chelsea become such a cunning person? To be honest, he was a little embarrassed, but he wasn't going to let it deter him.

With an obvious frown on his face this time, he grunted, "Can't you just invite me for lunch?"

Chelsea turned it in her mind for a while and said, "Mr. Pierce said he would come back in a few days for us to celebrate this victory. We'll go together then."

The moment Luka's name left Chelsea's lips, Edmund stopped listening. He just turned and went.

Watching him leave, Chelsea shrugged and closed her door.
