Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart
Chapter 162

Chapter 162

Edmund glanced at the two but chose to remain silent.

The two of them remained silent as well. They all knew that Edmund seldom expressed his trueemotions. He was the sort of man who kept his feelings to himself.

Yusuf commented on Edmund's character in his mind. He appreciated how calm he was. But the truthwas, inside his heart, thunder was rolling. He was simply good at pretending.

Before the dinner was over, Alena called Edmund.

Edmund hadn't answered Alena's phone call the whole day. She had rung him up several times.Knowing she would replace this rude, he chose to answer it now.

Before he could ask her what it was about, she exclaimed, "Edmund, there is a charity dinner thisweekend."

At the mention of an event, a frown creased Edmund's forehead. "I can't attend the party. I am quitebusy at present."

Edmund knew the plan that was stirring in Alena's mind. She definitely wanted him to take Diana as hisfemale companion and then strengthen his connection with her!

Since he had made his mind clear to Philip, he saw no reason to agree to such an arrangement.

Alena was shocked to hear this. After a short pause, she went on, "I would like you to take Sonya tothe party so that she can meet some outstanding men."

Edmund wasn't buying this lie. "Is that so?" he asked with a tinge of mockery.

Alena sighed again and said, "Didn't you say that she was thoughtless and always made trouble? Ithink it would be best for her to replace someone suitable to marry rather than suffer in abroad."

Edmund was amused by his mother's words.

Alena was suggesting he take Sonya to the party. If he agreed, the person who would go with himwould be Diane, not Sonya. He knew this for a fact.

Besides, his mother did everything she could to stop Sonya from going abroad. She even intended toreplace a match for Sonya in Vertoak.

But Sonya had a bad reputation in the city. People knew she changed her boyfriend as frequently asshe changed her clothes. No decent man would volunteer to marry her.

Sonya and Alena were quite picky and wouldn't settle for a man from an ordinary family.

So, it wouldn't be easy to get Sonya married.

Edmund took a deep breath and said calmly, "Mom, I have to disagree here. I think you have morechances of replaceing an excellent man for Sonya than I do. You should take up the responsibility ofSonya's marriage. I am pretty sure I don't have a suitable candidate for her."

In short, he had kindly rejected to take Sonya with him.

Truth be told, the men he knew had outstanding disposition. None of them deserved to be punished tomarry Sonya!

Before his mother could argue, he said, "I'm still having dinner with my friends. Talk to you later."

After Edmund hung up the phone, Yusuf asked, "Is the charity dinner your mother mentioned the one ofthe film association? If that's the one, I am pretty sure Chelsea will be there."

Edmund, who hadn't thought of this, was rendered speechless.

Chris quickly echoed his opinion, "I think so too. Since she is a scriptwriter, she will definitely attendsuch an event."

Edmund couldn't help as some negative thoughts crawled to his head. If Chelsea was going, she woulddefinitely go as Luka's female companion.

Yusuf continued, "To be honest, Chelsea looks amazing after she takes an effort to dress up."

Edmund gave him an icy glare. At the mention of this, he remembered the anniversary party of theNelson Group.

The party was simply his biggest nightmare.
