Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart
Chapter 166

Chapter 166

The smile on Diane's face froze. In an embarrassed tone, she said, "I think he just finished his work."

One of the women commented, "Wow, that's great. He must have come to pick you up. What aconsiderate man. He came to be with you once he was done with work. You are so lucky, Diane!"

"Yeah, I'm with you on that! Diane is beautiful. Many men want her. I'm sure Mr. Nelson wants to keepher for himself before the dubious men here snatch her away. Aw!" another woman uttered, smilingbrightly.

These flattering words were supposed to make Diane blush uncontrollably. However, she couldn'tbecause her relationship with Edmund wasn't good as the outsiders thought. No one knew thatEdmund actually wanted to break up with her.

Despite that, Diane still believed that Edmund would compromise sooner or later. Her father was on it.She firmly believed he would make the marriage happen by hook or by crook. Her father was powerfuland influential, and had helped Edmund's family, after all.

Diane had reasoned that it was only a matter of time before Edmund thought it through and gave her apositive response. This was why she still behaved as if all was well with them in public tonight.

However, she didn't expect him to appear here. He had told Alena that he wouldn't attend the party.

They were yet to talk things through, so Diane was afraid that he would ignore her in front of this crowd.She would die of embarrassment if he did.

"Ermm... Excuse me, ladies. I have to use the ladies' room now," Diane quickly said.

She immediately turned around and walked away to avoid getting humiliated by her so-called fiancé.

The first thing Diane did once she hid in the bathroom was to call Sonya. The phone rang for a while,but Sonya didn't pick up. Perhaps she was happily chatting and flirting with a man.

"What a useless girl!" Diane cursed under her breath. Sonya was supposed to help her at the party. Notonly was she useless now, but she was also nowhere to be found.

Diane was at her wit's end now. She was stuck in the bathroom because she couldn't go out to face apotential embarrassment. She hated Chelsea even more.

Diane bit her lower lip hard until she sustained a little cut. "I must get my revenge on that bitch fordisrupting my perfect life!"

Meanwhile, the women who had been chatting with Diane moments ago, greeted Edmund when he gotclose to them. One of them said, "Hello, Mr. Nelson. Diane just went to the bathroom."

Edmund shot the woman a blazing glare. He walked away without saying a word.

The woman held her chest and said to her companions, confused, "Oh my! Did you see that? He justgave me a murderous look. I thought he would be pleased with that piece of information. But it seems Ishouldn't have mentioned Diane's name at all."

Staring at Edmund's back, another person said, "Who knows? Perhaps they had a lovers' tiff. I stilldon't get why Edmund likes Diane. She's so pretentious and mean. Why does a man like him want tosettle down with her?"

Diane wasn't well-liked by the people in the film industry. Another guest echoed, "That's right. I wonderwhat he sees in her. She only became a popular actress because Edmund helped her get major roles."

The film industry was jam-packed with several beautiful and talented actresses. Diane wasn't anindispensable talent.

The major roles she played were the reason why she became popular. And Edmund was the one whohelped her secure those roles.

Nevertheless, Diane considered herself to be a wonderful actress whose acting beat the otheractresses' acting hands down. She felt that her beauty and skills were what made her stand out.

Edmund's mind was set on something else. He didn't come to see Diane, so he didn't care about whatthat woman said. He was walking straight to Yusuf when he caught a glimpse of Chelsea.

She was wearing a long black dress. At this time, she was standing beside Luka and chatting with agroup of people with a bright smile on her face.

The makeup she had on made her look extraordinarily beautiful. Her eyes were smoky andbreathtaking. A luster that Edmund had never seen before, shone in Chelsea's eyes.

"Dude, did you teleport to this place? You came so fast!" Yusuf looked at him in surprise as he handedhim a glass of wine.

Only a few minutes had passed since he sent Edmund the message. He didn't expect him to arrivehere in a trice. Yusuf couldn't help but reason that Edmund was indeed in love with Chelsea.
