Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 190

On the top floor of the Nelson Group, in Edmund's office, Fay went over his schedule for the next day.

"Roy is holding a book signing event on the first floor of Fresh Bookstore at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. Your meeting with him is scheduled for half past nine. So, you have about thirty minutes to discuss with him."

All of Roy's novels were bestsellers. They had been adapted into TV series, and each was popular among viewers.

Edmund planned to pitch a proposal to Roy to adapt his latest book into a play. He tried to beat everyone else to it by meeting him that early. More so, he was going to offer Roy a good price.

After Edmund nodded attentively, Fay continued, "By the way, I have to say that Chelsea is actually a big fan of Roy. She enjoys reading his books. I heard that Zuri got her a ticket for the event tomorrow, so I believe she will be there."

Edmund sat up on his chair at the mention of his ex-wife's name. He asked doubtfully, "Are you sure about this?"

He had no idea that Chelsea was a fan of Roy. But he knew that she was a bookworm. She always read books during her leisure time.

Fay answered with certainty, "Yes, I am very sure. He's one of her favorite authors. She once mentioned that she looked up to him. She hopes to be as successful as Roy in the scriptwriting field one day."

Edmund was speechless.

He reasoned that Chelsea was rather weird. Other young women were crazy about handsome actors and singers. But she was into a writer.

Edmund leaned back on his chair and thought for a while. He finally inquired, "Is she back yet?"

Fay replied, "Not yet. I think she's taking this night's flight."

Edmund nodded without saying anything. To ease his mind, Fay added, "They aren't married yet. Chelsea doesn't have to be around him and his family all the time."

Edmund's heart skipped a beat when he heard the word "married". He lowered his eyes.

Fay suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my! Is there a possibility that they will get married legally soon just so Luka's mother can breathe her last without any worries?"

Unbeknown to Fay, the whole relationship thing was just an act. She thought Chelsea had been moved by Luka's sincerity and agreed to be his girlfriend.

Her mind had been messed up by the series of soap operas she binged on. As a result, she feared the worst now.

The words Fay said made Edmund more worried. His pulse galloped like a runaway train.

His forehead broke out in cold sweat. The pen in his hand shook uncontrollably. He had never panicked like this in his entire life.

He thought there was a high probability that Luka and Chelsea would get married quickly.

After all, he had done the same thing. Ethan was gravely ill over four years ago. The surgery he had to undergo had a very low survival rate. Everyone in the Nelson family was told to prepare for the worst.

On his sick bed, Ethan ordered Edmund to get married as soon as possible. It was around this time that Hilton and Garry set him up by sending Chelsea to his bed.

They even took her to the hospital to see Ethan the next day. Once Ethan heard what happened, he insisted that Edmund marry Chelsea immediately.

Edmund's heart belonged to Diane even though she had just broken up with him. More so, he hated Chelsea for climbing into his bed without his consent. He vehemently refused to marry her.

Nevertheless, his grandfather forced him to marry her, insisting that she would make a good wife and he would rest assured even if the surgery wasn't successful.

History was repeating itself now. The only difference was that Edmund wasn't the male protagonist.

He knew that he wouldn't have a chance to win back Chelsea's heart if she got married to Luka.

When Fay noticed that Edmund was down in the dumps, she quickly said, "Pardon me, Mr. Nelson. I was just guessing."

"If you have nothing else important to say, you can leave now," Edmund ordered, his head still lowered.

Fay did a slight bow and walked out quietly. In the corridor, one of the female employees stopped her.

The Novel will be updated daily. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
