Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

The smile on Diane's face froze. In an embarrassed tone, she said, "I think he just finished his work."

One of the women commented, "Wow, that's great. He must have come to pick you up. What a considerate man. He came to be with you once he was done with work. You are so lucky, Diane!"

"Yeah, I'm with you on that! Diane is beautiful. Many men want her. I'm sure Mr. Nelson wants to keep her for himself before the dubious men here snatch her away. Aw!" another woman uttered, smiling brightly.

These flattering words were supposed to make Diane blush uncontrollably. However, she couldn't because her relationship with Edmund wasn't good as the outsiders thought. No one knew that Edmund actually wanted to break up with her.

Despite that, Diane still believed that Edmund would compromise sooner or later. Her father was on it. She firmly believed he would make the marriage happen by hook or by crook. Her father was powerful and influential, and had helped Edmund's family, after all.

Diane had reasoned that it was only a matter of time before Edmund thought it through and gave her a positive response. This was why she still behaved as if all was well with them in public tonight.

However, she didn't expect him to appear here. He had told Alena that he wouldn't attend the party.

They were yet to talk things through, so Diane was afraid that he would ignore her in front of this crowd. She would die of embarrassment if he did.

"Ermm... Excuse me, ladies. I have to use the ladies' room now," Diane quickly said.

She immediately turned around and walked away to avoid getting humiliated by her so-called fiancé.

The first thing Diane did once she hid in the bathroom was to call Sonya. The phone rang for a while, but Sonya didn't pick up. Perhaps she was happily chatting and flirting with a man.

"What a useless girl!" Diane cursed under her breath. Sonya was supposed to help her at the party. Not only was she useless now, but she was also nowhere to be found.

Diane was at her wit's end now. She was stuck in the bathroom because she couldn't go out to face a potential embarrassment. She hated Chelsea even more.

Diane bit her lower lip hard until she sustained a little cut. "I must get my revenge on that bitch for disrupting my perfect life!"

Meanwhile, the women who had been chatting with Diane moments ago, greeted Edmund when he got close to them. One of them said, "Hello, Mr. Nelson. Diane just went to the bathroom."

Edmund shot the woman a blazing glare. He walked away without saying a word.

The woman held her chest and said to her companions, confused, "Oh my! Did you see that? He just gave me a murderous look. I thought he would be pleased with that piece of information. But it seems I shouldn't have mentioned Diane's name at all."

Staring at Edmund's back, another person said, "Who knows? Perhaps they had a lovers' tiff. I still don't get why Edmund likes Diane. She's so pretentious and mean. Why does a man like him want to settle down with her?"

Diane wasn't well-liked by the people in the film industry. Another guest echoed, "That's right. I wonder what he sees in her. She only became a popular actress because Edmund helped her get major roles."
