Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Edmund followed Chelsea downstairs via the elevator.

"Why do you have a lot of time on your hands?" Chelsea asked, looking up at him irritated.

Edmund frowned and replied, "Come on, Chelsea. I got you Arya. Can't you at least let me see how it's doing?"

Chelsea rolled her eyes.

If she had known that he would use the kitten as an excuse to come to her apartment, she wouldn't have accepted it. However, it was too late to return the kitten now.

Chelsea had taken a liking to Arya already. It was so cute.

More so, she felt that its character was very similar to hers. They were both quiet and easy-going.

Chelsea saw her past self in Arya's eyes. It was as innocent and weak as she used to be before. Looking at Arya, she couldn't help feeling sorry for herself.

Since Edmund insisted on seeing Arya, she had no choice but to go with him.

On the way, Edmund suddenly intoned, "I heard everything you said to Diane."

Chelsea's face turned red in an instant.

He chuckled. "I had no idea that you still remembered our past so vividly, especially how we regularly had sex."

The atmosphere in the car suddenly felt hot even though the air conditioner was on. Chelsea wound down the window to cool herself with the wind. After finding her tongue, she said, "I just said all that to get on Diane's nerves."

Edmund knew that. However, he couldn't let go of the golden opportunity to tease her. He enjoyed seeing how her face flushed when he mentioned sex.

"Anyway, why did you decide to get on her nerves today?" he asked with a hint of surprise.

He had been worried that Diane would pull one of her many stunts to trample on Chelsea today, so he rushed down to the café early in the morning to be on the lookout. When he saw that Chelsea gave Diane a taste of her own medicine, he was stunned.

Chelsea looked down and said indifferently, "I just couldn't stand her anymore."

Diane crossed the line when she stole her work. Chelsea couldn't suppress her anger, so she went all out to annoy her today.

"Don't you feel sorry for her?" Chelsea asked out of the blue.

A deep frown appeared on Edmund's face immediately. Her question annoyed him.

Clenching the steering wheel tightly, he turned his head and glared at her. "You are pissing me off, woman!"

Chelsea shrugged. "Why are you pissed off? You are in love with Diane, aren't you? Why did you refuse to marry her all of a sudden?"

The news of Edmund's upcoming wedding to Diane had been all over the place when Chelsea came back from abroad. She thought it would happen soon. But Edmund suddenly broke up with her.

"I think you are mistaken, Chelsea. How can you say that I'm in love with her?" Edmund queried unhappily.

"No, I'm not! Didn't you date her because you were head over heels in love with her?" Chelsea asked, unsure of the truth now.

Edmund didn't know how to explain.

How could he say that he was never in love with Diane?

At that time, he had thought Diane had all it took to be the matriarch of the Nelson family one day. His parents approved of her, so he decided to be with her.

It wasn't until later he realized that he hadn't been putting his feelings first.

The major reason why he fell for Diane was that he felt she would make a good daughter-in-law, not a good wife.

Edmund was in a fix. He couldn't tell Chelsea the truth. She would see him as a two-timing bastard who was heartless. She would question him if he didn't love Diane that much why he planned to marry her then.

Edmund didn't know what to say at this time.

His head was in a muddle. At this moment, he felt that the problem he was in now was way more complicated than all the problems he faced as a businessman. Why did a simple question like this one give him a banging headache?

It wasn't until Edmund racked his brain that he finally came up with a perfect response. "The thing I and Diane shared wasn't as deep as you think."

Afraid that Chelsea wouldn't take his word for it, he added, "I haven't even had sex with her."

Chelsea's cheeks burned hot. She looked away and commented, "Really? Is that your way of saying you didn't love her deeply?"

Edmund took a deep breath. He then replied slowly, "You know, sex spices up people's relationships. It creates a bond between two people even though they weren't in love with each other in the first place."

This was what happened to him and Chelsea.

Sensing that he was indirectly talking about their sex life while they were married, Chelsea glared at him. She then looked out of the window.

She wondered why he was becoming more shameless by the second.
