Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

"How about you come to my place for a few days? Or even longer, I don't mind," Fay said her eyes lighting up.

"Thank you, Fay. But there's no need for that." Chelsea refused instinctively. There was no hesitation in her words even though her smile was still there.

She was very grateful to Fay, but if possible she didn't want to have anything to do with Edmund. Staying at Fay's meant that he had a way of keeping an eye on her.

Moreover, Chelsea knew very well that the matter before them could not be solved by hiding.

Once Garry and Hilton were sure that she was still in the country, they would leave no stone unturned until they found her.

Hearing her refusal, Edmund turned to look at her, his displeasure clearly shown in his eyes.

Chelsea looked down to avoid his glare and continued eating the sandwich.

Frowning, Fay asked worriedly, "What are you gonna do now? You can't keep being harassed like this all the time."

Chelsea smiled again and said, "It's okay. I'll figure something out."

She wasn't sure whether she was convicing Fay or herself by saying that. "How about Zuri's house? Last time when we had dinner at her house together, she said that she was going to shoot in another city, didn't she?" Fay suggested enthusiastically. She really wanted to help her friend out.

Chelsea paused and thought about it.

She would have forgotten something like that entirely if Fay hadn't reminded her.

Zuri had gone to another city for shooting. She had even sent a message to Chelsea before she left.

But she hadn't remembered any of it because she had been busy with the script.

Chelsea couldn't go into Zuri's house if she was not at home. If she had known something like that would happen she would have at least asked her for the key.

Seeing her changing expression, Edmund ordered in a domineering tone, "Fay will take you home to pack up. You can stay at her place."

Chelsea opened her mouth to refuse, he didn't let her. "You don't have to turn down Fay's kindness because of me. She really thinks of you as her good friend."

After a small pause, Edmund left the room without looking back.

Although Fay was always slow when it came to making friends, Edmund could tell that she liked Chelsea very much, that was why she had taken the initiative to invite her. Even he had been shocked when that happened.

As for Chelsea, he had heard her say a couple of times that Fay was very kind and that she always brought delicious food for her and Leo. It was impossible for her not to think of Fay as her friend.

So it was easy to guess that he was the reason why she refused Fay's offer.

Nothing in all his years had ever prepared him for the day when he, Edmund Nelson, would be hated by someone.

After Edmund left, Chelsea looked at Fay with cute doe eyes and said apologetically, "I really appreciate your kindness. But just now I couldn't..."

Fay shook her head and smiled. "Stop, there's no need for that. I understand."

Chelsea sighed in relief and said softly, "Thank you."

"Don't mention it. I'm looking forward to living with you," answered Fay with a smile.

Since there was no serious injuries on Chelsea, she left the hospital with Fay and went back to her apartment to pack up her things.

In Chris' office, Edmund stood by the window with his hands in his pockets. His eyes were fixed on Chelsea up until she and Fay got into a car and left together.

Chris came over and handed him a cup of coffee. "What are you doing to yourself right now? How come you are so concerned about your ex-wife?"
