Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart
Chapter 203

Chapter 203

Edmund was disappointed at his mother for making a scene in his grandfather's home. Ethan wasunwell, so he drove there at a high speed to clean up the mess.

Alena's cries could be heard from outside by the time Edmund arrived.

"Dad, please help me. Haven't I suffered enough in this family? Jaime cheated on me and fled. But Istayed back in this family. I singlehandedly raised your two grandchildren. I have been nothing but adutiful daughter-in-law to you! My daughter is on the verge of getting sentenced to prison. I can't let thathappen. If Sonya doesn't come out immediately, I might die. Please do something!"

Ethan was sitting on the sofa while Alena was sitting on the floor close to him as she cried bitterly.

Although she was speaking rudely, he couldn't get short with her because what she said was true.

His son, Jaime hadn't been dutiful at all. He caused pain for everyone and fled abroad without caringfor his family back home. If it weren't for Alena who stayed back, the reputation of the Nelson familywould have been completely ruined.

Alena had put up with all the bullshit majorly because of her children. Wouldn't it be mean to take hermajor source of joy?

Ethan sighed as he stared at the sad woman. Perhaps if not for the terrible family environment, Sonyawouldn't have turned out to be so spoiled and troublesome.

For a moment, he wished he had allowed Jaime to divorce Alena instead of making them stay marriedjust to preserve the dignity of the family.

The front door was suddenly pushed open and Edmund walked in. When Alena saw him, she pickedthe teacup on the side table and threw it at him. "You wicked man! Do you want me dead?"

Edmund hadn't seen this coming. The teacup hit his forehead before he could think of dodging it. Bloodstreaked out immediately.

Alena's anger completely blinded her for a moment.

Ethan leaped to his feet when he saw his grandson's bloodied forehead. He ordered the butler, "Getthe first-aid kit now!"

It was as if a bucket of cold water was poured on Alena when she saw blood on Edmund's forehead.She didn't think the teacup would get to him, let alone injure him so badly.

With her heart in her mouth, she rushed to Edmund and begged him profusely. "I'm so sorry, Edmund. Ididn't mean to do that. Please forgive me."

Edmund didn't utter a word. He just placed the gauze the butler handed him on his bleeding forehead.

Ethan scolded Alena, pointing his walking stick at her. "I have told you time and time again that youneed to curtail your anger. Did you forget that Sonya is not your only child? Edmund is also your child!You attacked him because he didn't defend your precious daughter, but you seem to forget that she isso troublesome!"

Ethan understood why Edmund didn't make an attempt to secure Sonya's release. He was clearlydoing it for the woman he loved.

"Why can't you see that this is for Sonya's good? You spoiled her rotten. If you hadn't supported her inmaking Chelsea's life a living hell in the past, that messy divorce would never have happened. And wewon't be in this situation today!" Ethan yelled at her again.

He had been keeping quiet about the bad behaviors of Alena and Sonya all this while.

Ethan was the only member of the Nelson family that supported Chelsea from the very beginning. Butwhat could an old man like him do to help?

"Dad, why bring that silly woman up now? Edmund doesn't like Chelsea at all. He's supposed to standup for his sister against that wench!" Alena quipped stubbornly.

Unbeknown to Alena, her son was head over heels in love with his ex-wife now.

"It doesn't matter who Sonya offended. Even if she offended a total stranger, I will stand for what isright. Sonya needs to be punished for her actions!" Edmund said in a cold tone, staring at his motherdead in the eyes.
