Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Two policemen were pulling Garry away from the door. Nonetheless, he continued to swear and shout at the top of his lungs. There were two other policemen talking to Chelsea inside her apartment.

Many neighbors had already come out of their apartments. They were watching the scene in awe. However, they soon left after getting shooed away by the police officers.

Not sparing his former brother-in-law a glance, Edmund greeted the two policemen with a cold face. "Good day, officers. I'm Edmund Nelson, a friend of the lady who lives in this apartment. I'm here to assess the situation."

Edmund's name was a household name in Vertoak. There was literally no one who hadn't heard of him. Thus, as soon as he introduced himself, the policemen smiled at him.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Nelson. You may go in." The police officers rudely pulled Garry aside to make way for Edmund.

Garry was too stunned to speak when he saw Edmund.

A year ago, Chelsea had called to inform him and Hilton that she divorced Edmund. She transferred some money to them and disappeared.

Her marriage to Edmund had been their grand plan to always get money whenever they wanted. After all, Edmund was filthy rich. When they found out that she divorced him for real, Garry and Hilton almost died out of shock and anger.

They countlessly tried to reach Chelsea in order to knock some senses into her head. However, their efforts failed. They once visited Edmund and asked for money as they had always done. But he threw the divorce certificate in their faces.

They got humiliated that day. Edmund ordered the security guards to throw them out like captured thieves.

Garry concluded from Edmund's appearance here that they were on good terms now. As a result, his joy knew no bounds. His tongue was tied as he screamed happily in his head.

When Edmund entered the living room, he saw Chelsea standing in the middle. She was wearing a white pajama. Her face was many shades redder than normal and her shoulders were trembling as she was being interrogated.

She suddenly lowered her eyes and placed her slender right hand on her waist.

Edmund followed her movement only to find a clear footprint stain on her pajama. It seemed like Garry had kicked her there.

Judging by the way Chelsea pressed her hand on her waist, Edmund reasoned that it was hurting.

His heart ached slightly as he thought of the amount of pain she was in now. He also felt like strangling Garry.

How could a brother be so cruel to his sister? Edmund couldn't understand why such a gentle woman had a beast for a brother. He grunted to suppress his anger.

It wasn't until this moment that Chelsea finally noticed his presence. She looked at him with her eyes widened. The next second, her shock was replaced with shame.

Why was Edmund always showing up when she was at her worst?

Was this God's way of helping him to laugh at her?

Chelsea was embarrassed in his presence for what seemed like the thousandth time. One of the major reasons she couldn't look him in the eye was that Hilton and Garry groomed her not to.

She looked away, holding her chest with her other hand.

During her call with Fay, she made sure to pretend as if nothing was happening because she didn't want Edmund to find out.

But things didn't go her way.

The policeman who was interrogating Chelsea suddenly turned to Edmund, greeted him, and asked the two of them confusedly, "May I know the relationship between the two of you?"

"She is my friend."

"We barely know each other."

They gave different answers at the same time.

With his eyebrows knitted, the policeman looked at Edmund and then at Chelsea. The pen he was holding to the notepad froze as he didn't know what to write or even say.
