Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart
Chapter 167

Chapter 167

Edmund didn't want to rise to the bait after Yusuf teased him. With a cold face, he brought the glass tohis lips and took a long sip. But he spat out the wine a second later.

His eyes widened in shock. They had just fallen on Chelsea's exposed back as soon as she turnedaround.

Edmund had been looking at her front since he arrived. He felt that the dress was simple andglamorous.

It was so long that it touched the floor. Although it was an off-shoulder dress, he didn't have any issuewith it since her breasts weren't exposed.

Never did it occur to him that Chelsea's back was exposed.

It was bare for all to see. Her smooth and delicate skin was very eye-catching.

When Edmund noticed that some men were stealing glances at his ex-wife's back, he was pissed off.

Yusuf stepped back to dodge the wine that was just spat out. He squinted at his friend and queried,"What's wrong with you? Why do you look so startled and pissed?"

Yusuf followed Edmund's gaze until his eyes landed on Chelsea's bare back. He immediatelyunderstood the reason for his friend's weird reaction. "Don't react like that. She has been here for awhile and everyone has seen her dress. In truth, she is rather conservative compared to how the otherwomen here dress."

Yusuf felt that his friend was overreacting.

However, Edmund's mood was not lifted by Yusuf's words. His annoyance was heightened when Lukasuddenly put his arm around Chelsea's waist and pulled her closer.

As if he was trying to add fuel to the fire, Yusuf quipped, "By the way, Chelsea's back looks so good!"

"Shut the fuck up! Swallow your dirty words, man," Edmund commanded, his eyes blazing crimson.

"How are my words dirty? Can't I compliment her?" Yusuf innocently asked, raising his free hand.

Edmund snorted. The only thing that stopped him from punching Yusuf in the face was their friendship.If it were another man that said such words, he would have beaten him to a pulp.

Edmund suddenly began to walk towards Chelsea and Luka, still holding the glass of wine. Yusuffollowed him curiously.

Unbeknown to them, Chelsea had already noticed Edmund's presence a while back. She intentionallyturned her back to him.

She had hoped she wouldn't meet him on such an occasion because she didn't want both them gettingembarrassed.

Diane and Sonya were also here. Little did she want to have any connection with them.

Chelsea thought her plan worked until Edmund walked up to them. She bit the inside of her lower lip

before she plucked up the courage to look at him with a decent smile.

Luka immediately exchanged pleasantries with them. "Hello, Mr. Nelson and Mr. Collins. Good to seeyou two."

"Wow! Chelsea, I could barely recognize you. You look so beautiful." Yusuf flattered her withouthesitation. Flattering women was his forte.

Chelsea nodded with a smile. "Thank you."

On the other hand, Edmund sneered and uttered with dissatisfaction, "You are a scriptwriter, not anactress, Chelsea. Don't you think it's rather irresponsible of you to wear such a dress? Or did youintentionally do it for cheap attention?"

Yusuf nudged his friend in a trice. His face turned red with embarrassment.

He had set an example by complimenting Chelsea first. He thought Edmund would follow suit. But itappeared that his friend was an ignoramus.

Luka calmly watched everything with a faint smile on his face.

A wave of fury swept through Chelsea's body when she heard her ex-husband's criticism. Her fingerstightened around the stem of the wineglass. If she exerted more strength, the glass would get crushed.

In Chelsea's opinion, her dress wasn't over the top, let alone inappropriate.

Her back was the only part exposed. As far as she was concerned, her dress was less revealing than

that of the other women who exposed their breasts for all to see. She wasn't trying to get men'sattention. How dare he say that she was irresponsible for dressing like this?

Diane's cleavage was exposed. Her dress even had a high slit that exposed one of her thighs. Whydidn't he complain about that?

He didn't because he had no balls, right?

Chelsea reasoned that Edmund only had the guts to pick on her.

She felt that he was comfortable with calling her names because he had no respect for her.
