Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart
Chapter 148

Chapter 148

Philip put special emphasis on the word suddenly and the implication was pretty evident to Edmund.

Looking very calm, Edmund replied, "I never thought about marriage. I was simply content with usliking each other."

Then he added, "Perhaps this has to do with the fact that I was married once. Marriage requires morethan just love. I have been with Diane for more than a year since my divorce. I have a strong feeling wewouldn't make a good match."

The sullen look on Philip's face started to show. When he next spoke, his tone was harsh. "So, youadmit liking Diana but you refuse to marry her?"

Edmund thought he had been greatly misunderstood. "That's not what I mean," he said.

Philip's anxiety was reaching its peak. "Then what do you mean?" he demanded.

"I mean, Diane deserves a better man who genuinely wants to marry her," Edmund replied back withfinality.

In fact, ever since he divorced Chelsea, he and Diane had never really been together.

Their meetings had been numbered. They just attended a few business dinners together. It was Dianewho pretended as if something was going on between the two of them.

She was the star of the Nelson Group, and the most popular female star. So he had no choice but to lether join him for business dinners. He hadn't done this because he liked her. He simply did this for the

future of Nelson Group's film and television department.

Edmund had initially set up the film and television department for Diane because he was tired of Ethanforcing him to marry Chelsea. But since he had set up this department, he strove to become the leaderin the industry.

"I know what you mean." Even if Edmund said something that was against Philip's wishes, it wasuseless to lose his temper at this moment.

Philip then raised his glass and said, "Come on. Let's drink a toast. I don't know when such anopportunity will arise again."

Edmund knew that Philip would never let it go, but he still raised his glass calmly and said, "I amalways ready. I will always be one call away from meeting."

Philip forced a smile at that.

After putting down the glass, Philip asked, "How is your father doing lately? I'm going on a business tripabroad in a few days. I would like to meet him."

Edmund's face darkened. It suddenly dawned on him that Philip was indeed angry at him.

The reason why Philip mentioned Edmund's father was to remind Edmund that the Nelson family owedhim a big favor. If Edmund refused to marry Diane, it would make him an ungrateful brat beforeeveryone's eyes.

However, Edmund wasn't the sort of man whose mind could be changed easily. "I think he will be veryhappy if you pay him a visit."

By this calm and composed response, Edmund was trying to show his companion that he wasn'tthreatened.

Philip had stopped Edmund's parents from getting divorced. Edmund would be more than happy toexpress his gratitude to Philip by giving him money. But asking him to marry Diana was stretching it alittle too much!

Moreover, Edmund's father was still alive, so Philip could personally ask him for a payback. There wasno point in coming to him!

Philip squinted his eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses but said nothing. Then he raised his glass anddrank in an elegant manner.

At this moment, Edmund's phone rang, breaking the awkward silence. He looked at the caller ID andpolitely excused himself, "I'm sorry. I have a pressing matter to deal with, so I'm taking my leave now."

Philip gave him an amiable smile, which didn't quite reach his eyes, and said, "Go ahead with yourwork."

Edmund took his phone and left.
