Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart
Chapter 116

Chapter 116

Fay's job demanded that she followed Edmund to his business meetings and social gatherings, so shehad to dine out constantly. Chelsea was aware of this because Edmund constantly refused to eatdinner at home when they just got married. He always said that he was full.

He only began to eat at home after the big health scare he had due to a severe stomachache. Sheadjusted his diet carefully. Since then he cut down the number of social gatherings and meetings hehad outside.

She couldn't help but wonder if he still drank a lot in such gatherings after their divorce. "Gosh! That'snone of your business, Chelsea!" she said to herself, doing a facepalm.

After having a simple dinner alone, Chelsea continued to write the script in front of the computer.

The clock chimed eleven and Fay was still not back yet. Chelsea sent a text to her, asking when shewas going to come back and if she needed her to prepare some honey water for her.

A few minutes passed before she received a voice message as a response. Fay said, "Hey, Chelsea.I'm drunk. Please can you come and pick me up?"

Chelsea agreed without hesitation. She arrived at the hotel where they were in a flash.

As soon as she got out of the taxi, she saw Edmund walking out with several men. Fay was on theirheels.

Chelsea noticed that she was trying so hard to stay awake and walk. Her eyebrows were furrowed andher steps were very unsteady.

The group spoke to each other as they stood outside the hotel. Chelsea only knew Edmund and Fayout of the crowd. She wasn't in the mood to meet new people, so she stayed afar and waited patiently.

Once the men left in their respective cars one after the other, Chelsea walked up to Fay and held hergently. She asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Fay didn't utter a word. She just leaned against Chelsea. It was obvious that she was wasted.

Chelsea hurriedly helped her to the taxi she had arrived in, completely ignoring Edmund who wasstanding close by.

She didn't bother speaking to him. She also concluded that he could take care of himself. They hadlocked eyes a couple of times while she was waiting for him to finish speaking to those men. It washard to tell if Edmund looked in her direction intentionally or not.

After carefully assisting Fay to sit in the back seat, Chelsea bowed her head, intending to get into thecar.

"Chelsea! Stop!" Edmund called out to her.

Chelsea didn't spare him a backward glance. Nonetheless, she could tell from his lazy tone that he wasdrunk.

She had nothing to say to him, so she pretended as if she didn't hear him and tried to get into the car.

She had barely gotten her left foot in when she felt something cold grip her hand. A strong force pulled

her a second later. Before she knew what was happening, she was in Edmund's arms.

"What are you doing?" Chelsea tried to fight him off. However, Edmund leaned in. His breath reeked ofalcohol. Staring deeply into her eyes, he drawled, "Why didn't you accept my friend request onFacebook?"

He suddenly let out a belch that made Chelsea twist her nose in disgust. Before she could say a word,he continued firmly, "Why? I won't let you go until you tell me the reason. Answer me!"

"Your breath stinks, Edmund. Why did you drink so much?" In a bid to change the topic, Chelsea didn'tnotice the concern in her tone.

He just got out of the hospital some days ago, didn't he? Why did he take alcohol again? Worse still, hedrank a whole lot. Didn't he care about his health? Chelsea thought, looking at him with glittering eyes.

A wicked smile appeared on Edmund's face. He pulled her closer to himself and asked, "So you stillcare about me even though we are no longer married, do you?"

Chelsea let out a peal of mocking laughter. How did he conclude that she cared about him?

Besides, she wasn't stupid enough to do that when he didn't even care about himself. He was so full ofhimself.

Chelsea tried to push him away and said, "I can see that the alcohol has gotten rid of your senses. Letgo of me now!"

In her opinion, it was inappropriate for them to be in such a position in public since they were divorced.
