Chapter 145

Fay rushed to explain, "Mr. Nelson, Chelsea said that she was just trying her best to avoid meeting youbecause she didn't want to be targeted by Miss Stevenson again."

She didn't think that Edmund's face could darken any further but it did. He had to admit that it was notwrong for Chelsea to do so. She had been in enough trouble because of him as it was.

The scandal between him and Diane had not been completely cleared up, so he also did not want tobring more unnecessary trouble to Chelsea.

When he thought of what Garry had said the previous night, that Chelsea had really loved him backthen, and the sentences that Chelsea had posted on Twitter while they were married, Edmund felt alittle agitated. Like he had missed something important.

The only thing that came out of his mouth was, "I see."

Then Fay went back to work. Edmund opened the box and saw the card that Chelsea had written.

The polite words on the card made him feel even worse. After glancing at it for a while, he threw thecard into the trash can.

The pen was exactly the same as the one he used, so he was not interested in it at all.

However, after thinking for a while, Edmund still sent a message to Chelsea, "I've received the pen.Thank you."

Soon, she replied, "I hope you like it."

Edmund snorted and typed, "Do you know what it means when a woman gives a man a pen?"

Looking at the message from Edmund, Chelsea frowned in confusion. Was there anything specialabout it? She couldn't think of any.

She had just given him a gift casually.

While Chelsea was thinking about it, she received another message from Edmund. "It means that weshould keep our love story in our hearts."

When Chelsea read the message, her hands trembled, and she almost threw her phone away in shock.

No! No way! She didn't mean that!

She just wanted to express her gratitude, nothing else. Besides, why did Edmund send suchstraightforward things?

Chelsea took a deep breath and quickly replied to Edmund, "Mr. Nelson, I really didn't mean it that way.If it made you misunderstand, I apologize. Please don't take it seriously."

Edmund was already in a bad mood. After reading Chelsea's reply, it became worse.

So he called her. "Garry said that you knew me while you were in college."

Edmund wanted to say explicitly that she had fallen in love with him at first sight, but he couldn't, soinstead he used the word "knew".

Chelsea was so embarrassed that her entire body was riddled with goosebumps. She didn't know whyGarry told Edmund such an old story. Chelsea only knew that she didn't want to face that reality of herpast at all.

So she covered the phone and pretended to be ignorant of what he had said. "Hello? Hello? Are youthere? Mr. Nelson, what did you say?"

Then she pretended to murmur to herself, "What's wrong with my phone? There's no signal."

Chelsea hurried to hang up the phone as soon as she finished talking.

Edmund was speechless.

How dare she? How could Chelsea think she could deceive him with such poor acting? He wouldn'thave been who he was if he couldn't tell when someone was just lying.

She just didn't want to answer his question.

Of course, he had deliberately misinterpreted the meaning of her gift to tease her but that was it.

After hanging up, Chelsea threw the phone aside. What was wrong with Garry? Why had he toldEdmund that part of her life?

Her phone chimed again, and a new message popped up on the screen.

It was also from Edmund. It read, "Hilton and Garry have left Vertoak. You can move back now."

Chelsea was too stunned to react for a while.

Hilton and Garry had really left?

Did that mean she was finally rid of them? And that they couldn't hurt her anymore?

When Chelsea came back to her senses from the adrenaline overload she was experiencing, sherealized that Edmund had helped her once again.

Hilton and his son only feared those who were stronger than them. If Edmund hadn't suppressed them,how could they have let her go?

Chelsea's mind was a mess. Edmund's change was beyond her expectation and she didn't know howto handle it.
