Chapter 224

Chelsea had no idea how she'd cope with Edmund so close. She turned away to avoid Edmund's gazeand tried to relax her nerves. "We just formed a relationship."

Without a word, Edmund straightened up and stared straight ahead. He wanted to ask Chelsea if she'dkissed or had sex with Luka. He was barely holding back.

The elevator arrived at their floor pretty quickly. Before Edmund headed to his room, Chelsea asked,"Now that we're done with the business, when will you be leaving for Vertoak?"

"Tomorrow morning," Edmund answered. "One of my friends is aware I'm in Norrmalm now andarranged a party for me tonight."

Nodding, Chelsea said, "Alright, then I'll leave first."

Dissatisfied with that conclusion, he asked, "Can't you hold on for me? Let's head back togethertomorrow morning."

Chelsea felt his words weren't reasonable. "You are not a child, Mr. Nelson. Why do you want me towait for you? Let's leave individually."

"I'm worried about you. Who can tell what else Diane and Gerry would do?"

Chelsea fell silent at that. She couldn't fault his logic there. She'd been more careful since thekidnapping.

Edmund went on, "You can focus on writing while we're at the hotel, and you can use my computer. If

you get bored of that, you can come with me to the party tonight."

Chelsea waved her hands at this and said, "No, no. I'd rather wait for you in the hotel." Was he insane?Why would he want his ex-wife to accompany him to his friend's party?

"I'll get my computer for you." Edmund turned around after saying that and stepped into his room afterswiping the room card.

A few minutes later, he came out with the laptop and handed it to her. "The password is my birth date."

Chelsea had no idea what to say. Was she still supposed to remember her ex-husband's birthday oneyear after their divorce? Or was she supposed to forget? Edmund raised his eyebrows, then he placedthe computer in her arms and turned back to his room.

Chelsea returned to her room with the laptop. She turned it on after sitting down at the desk andinputted his birth date in silence. She used to celebrate it every year. How could she forget his birthdate?

However, even though Chelsea had turned Edmund's computer on, she wrote another version ofadaption with her own computer and waited for the bait to be taken by Diane and Gerry. She usedEdmund's computer to go on writing the script of the story, "The Crown."

Edmund knocked on her door by six. He had changed into casual clothes. "I'm leaving now. I'll be backby ten," he said.

Chelsea didn't see why he had to tell her that, so she just responded nonchalantly, "Have fun." He hadnever let her know of his schedule when they were married. What was the need of doing that after the

divorce? It was still fresh in her mind how she'd spent every night while he'd returned home late. Shehad spoken to him about it when they were married. He'd looked at her coldly at the time and sneered,"Who do you think you are, Chelsea? Asking about my schedule, you have no right. Know your placeclearly and don't make me sick!"

The reason she'd wanted to know when he'd be returning was that she wanted to prepare him honeywater after he'd drunk wine. Inevitably, Chelsea's mood was affected a little when she thought of thosethings. Edmund didn't notice. "Are you sure you won't attend with me?"

Chelsea shut the door in his face. Edmund paused for a while outside the door then said in a low voice,"I'm sorry." He, too, knew he'd brought back bad memories in her heart by reporting his plans to her.

Chelsea stood in silence at the door. She had no idea what to say. How could an apology heal thewounds in her heart that'd been there for years?

Since she didn't respond, Edmund went on, "Someone will get your dinner to you later."

"Thank you," she said.

Edmund paused, then he added, "I told someone to check Diane's and Gerry's schedule. They headedback to Vertoak this afternoon."

"Alright." She heard his footsteps recede after that.

Chelsea went back to her desk and continued to write. She'd learned to control her mood with workafter the divorce. She spent a lot of her day writing, whether she was happy or not. Writing made herhappy and gave her no time to think of the bad stuff. She'd also taken over adaptation of Roy's new

book, which caused her to be more motivated. She had to be done with the script of "The Crown"quickly, so she could focus on the adaptation of Roy's new book.

Roy's new book was called, "Find You". It was the first time he was attempting to tell a love story in apopular way. The hero in this story was a famous CEO. Faced with the sudden disappearance of hislover, he threw his all into replaceing her and ended up revealing many secrets. At the end of the day, hegot his lover back. There were a lot of complicated cases and mysterious characters in the story. Theplot was tight and exciting. At the same time, there were a lot of sweet and moving romantic parts.

She had to give it to him. Roy was one of the best in his industry. He could write whatever he wantedand do a good job. Chelsea discovered from Edmund at lunch that Roy wrote this book to make up forhis regret because he couldn't get back the woman he loved when he was young. Those dreams thatcouldn't be attained were only attainable in the stories he wrote now.
