Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

There were three computers and various reference books in Roy's vast writing room.

When he looked up from his desk, he could see the landscape outside. It was a good sight.

Roy booted up the PC for Chelsea. "You're free to use it as much as you like. Don't worry, Mr. Nelson and I are going out for coffee and won't be a distraction while you write."

"Alright." Chelsea nodded, her spirit brimming with energy.

She would make every effort to demonstrate her prowess to the plagiarist.

Then, picking up the book he had just published, Roy flipped to a chapter and said, "Adapt this part."

Roy and Edmund then left. While heading for the door, Edmund turned back to have a look at Chelsea.

Chelsea was taken aback when she read the encouragement in Edmund's expression.

According to Chelsea, Edmund was a proud guy. He never cared and comforted people.

Now, though, Edmund was giving Chelsea silent eye contact of encouragement. After being startled, Chelsea hastily averted her gaze.

They sat down in the living room once Edmund and Roy had left. They chit-chatted while drinking coffee.

"Mr. Nelson, if I may ask, how are you related to Chelsea?" Roy asked first.

Although he felt a twinge of shame, Edmund said, "Chelsea is my ex-wife."

Roy gasped and choked on his coffee when he heard this.

"Exactly what caused you to end your marriage? What brings you two together after the divorce?"

Roy followed up his initial inquiry with a second one. Despite his apparent composure, Edmund's inner repulsion was unparalleled.

Was Roy's gossiping about others permissible?

When Roy saw that Edmund wasn't interested, he gave him a kind grin and added, "Do not feel obligated to respond if you do not feel like it. Please blame me."

Roy couldn't pinpoint what was wrong with him. His curiosity about Chelsea and Edmund who he had just learned were once a couple, was piqued the moment he learned that fact.

Edmund sipped his coffee and said, "The divorce was her idea. She was exhausted because she felt unloved by me. I didn't first realize that she is a scriptwriter and that I had invested in a play written by her firm, which is why we work together after our divorce."

Roy was suddenly and unexplainably enraged after hearing this. "You two were married for a good long while. But you didn't know she was a scriptwriter?"

Edmund was rendered speechless.

It was true that he was embarrassed in front of others because of that, and he was unaware that Chelsea did not eat beef or mutton. And it proved without a doubt that he didn't care about her at all.
