Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart
Chapter 168

Chapter 168

Chelsea had a strong urge to empty the glass of wine she was holding on Edmund's face for insultingher.

However, she restrained herself. It wasn't wise to get angry because of such a man.

With an unfazed expression, she looked into Edmund's displeased eyes and said calmly, "You are right.I wore it to attract attention. I want everyone here to know that the scriptwriter who wrote the play is notonly talented, but also drop-dead gorgeous. It would help bring in more investors and also make mepopular. What's so bad in that?"

Chelsea had no intention of changing the way Edmund thought of her. She decided to act like anunscrupulous woman since he already placed that label on her.

Besides, she couldn't understand why he was angry. They had nothing to do with each other. He didn'tdeserve an explanation as far as she was concerned.

Edmund didn't expect that she boldly admitted to dressing inappropriately. He was momentarilyrendered speechless.

Indescribable emotions flickered in his eyes as he stared at Chelsea for a while.

Sensing the heated tension between the two, Luka weighed in. "Ahem! Chelsea and I have somethingelse to do. We have to go. See you guys later."

Luka immediately turned around and pulled Chelsea away with him. She obediently went with himwithout sparing her ex-husband a second glance.

Once they got away from Edmund and Yusuf, Luka asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

He was shocked that Edmund could say such mean words to Chelsea.

It came as a surprise to him because the Edmund he knew wasn't rude or condescending towardswomen. Why did he speak to Chelsea in that manner?

After thinking for a while, Luka arrived at a conclusion. He reasoned that Edmund probably behavedlike that because he cared so much about her. His criticizing words probably didn't come from a placeof hate.

"I'm fine, Mr. Pierce. Thank you," Chelsea replied with a smile.

She was indeed fine.

Although Edmund's words had angered her at first, her fury was quelled after she fired back at him.

Luka sighed deeply. "It seems Mr. Nelson likes to pick on you. I replace it hard to tell if he's doing it out oflove or hatred."

Chelsea laughed with self-mockery. "Tsk, tsk! It can't be out of love. I'm sure his actions are comingfrom a place of hatred. He resents me so much!"

She firmly believed that Edmund scolded her because he hated her.

A few meters away, Yusuf took a sip of wine and asked Edmund in confusion, "Why do you both likehurting each other?"

The exchange between the former couple surprised Yusuf. Although Edmund started it by saying suchhurtful words, Chelsea's defiance also struck a nerve.

The fact that she didn't bother to explain things to Edmund or defend herself meant only one thing: shedidn't give a damn about him.

Nevertheless, Yusuf felt that Edmund deserved it.

Why did he scold and accuse her instead of complimenting her? It served him right!

Chelsea's appearance today actually took Edmund's breath away. But he had the urge to keep herbody away from the eyes of other men. He feared that they would make passes at her because of herdress. He cared about her safety. But he couldn't help blurting out those harsh words.

It was typical of him.

Regret filled his heart at this moment. A remorseful glint shone in his eyes. He felt so frustrated.

Edmund couldn't understand why he made so many mistakes whenever he appeared in front ofChelsea. No one had made him so frustrated and confused in his thirty-two years of life.

Yusuf patted him on the shoulder and uttered earnestly, "Friendly advice, you have to be careful withyour words and actions from now on. You shouldn't treat Chelsea like you did in the past. Otherwise,

your relationship will get worse."

Yusuf then walked away to go make new friends, giving Edmund room to think things through.

After ruminating on his friend's advice for a while, Edmund raised his head and downed the content ofhis glass. He had just finished gulping it when he saw Diane walking toward him.

Diane had spent almost an hour in the bathroom. She called Sonya several times, but she got noresponse. She had no choice but to come out with her heart beating fast.

All she had in mind was to avoid those ladies and go to look for Sonya.

To her dismay, they saw her as soon as she got out. They beckoned to her to join them again.

Diane gritted her teeth. She was sick of them. On impulse, she decided to meet Edmund instead.

It was a good escape from those ladies and also an excellent opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talkwith Edmund.

After flashing them a faint smile, she majestically walked towards her so-called fiancé.
