Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 8 Familiar Stranger

"No, I didn't drown my sorrows in alcohol because we are about to get a divorce. I was just in the mood to celebrate since I'm finally regaining my freedom." Chelsea cut Edmund short, not wanting to hear whatever he had to say.

She took a seat and urged impatiently, "Let's get down to it. Aren't you going to sign it now?"

Chelsea had a splitting headache. She wanted to get this over and done with, so she could go back to have a good sleep.

Her rudeness and nonchalant attitude caused Edmund to glare at her. Gnashing his teeth in anger, he picked up the pen and signed the divorce agreement.

Like the proud man that he was, he didn't back down now because he feared that the public would think that he loved Chelsea so dearly that he couldn't live without her.

How could he let them think such?

Over his dead body! People groveled at his feet and begged for his favors, not the other way around!

"Once a judge authorizes our divorce and issues the certificate, tell the court to send my copy to me later. Goodbye."

After signing the divorce agreement, Chelsea left without a backward glance. She had already booked an international flight for this afternoon.

She wanted to leave everything behind in Vertoak. All her pain, suffering, and thoughts about her family weren't going to follow her abroad. Her phone had rang off the hook last night. Most of the calls were from her father and brother. Chelsea transferred the money that she earned during her part-time job as a scriptwriter to them. Afterward, she turned off her phone.
