Chapter 355

Chelsea looked down and said, “What a ridiculous exaggeration. I also started off completely smittenwith him.”

Only after Edmund had ever really injured her did she get strong enough to withstand his desire.

“You shouldn’t dwell on such awful things in the past. Just see how self-assured you are now when youconfront Edmund.” Zuri’s tone changed from comfort to concern as she asked Chelsea, “But Chelsea,don’t you feel that Edmund genuinely wants to get you back this time?”

Totally denying it, Chelsea shook her head.

“He is not short of potential romantic partners. I don’t understand why he would choose me, his ex-wifewho caused him so much embarrassment. And moreover, everyone would make fun of him if hechooses me. Do you believe he will really follow through on that?”

“If he genuinely loves you, he won’t care about his dignity and self-esteem,” said Zuri.

Chelsea stated while shaking her head, “He considers the things he cannot have to be the mostdesired. If he sleeps with me just one more, maybe he’ll finally ditch me.”

Zuri smiled and made a suggestion, “What about giving it a shot? Sleep with him to ensure thetranquility of your future life.”

Chelsea had a headache and added, “Come on, Zuri. That is only my assumption. I cannot sleep withhim for that reason.”

“You are correct.” Zuri said solemnly, “If he has to sleep with you every time, not only will you never beable to get rid of him, but you will also be perpetually annoyed by him. That’s going to be a majorinconvenience.”

Chelsea, unable to respond, abruptly hung up the phone. After some time, Roy entered the study afterknocking on the door After talking with Chelsea for a while, he inquired about her parents Chelsearevealed the truth to Roy, including that Hilton and Garry had sent her to Edmund.

Roy, upon learning of the nature of Chelsea and Edmund’s marriage, covered his chest and took a longbreath to calm his rising fury.

Chelsea immediately soothed him, “Uncle Roy, please don’t snap. It’s over now. Right now, life is niceto me. Every person needs a defining moment in order to mature. Although the marriage had adevastating effect on me, it had a positive outcome in the end since I became the greatest Chelseapossible.”

When Roy laid eyes on the kind and beautiful Chelsea, he made a solemn vow to himself: he woulddevote his whole life to making up for the pain Chelsea had endured.

Roy’s first objective was to keep Chelsea away from Edmund.

Chelsea went to the Ellis family’s villa to have dinner with Kelli. The Ellis’ were a large family, and a Lotof them turned up for dinner. Everyone was nice to Chelsea, which helped relieve her tension.However, what Chelsea didn’t know was that Roy had told his family who she really was to him. Theywere all happy for Roy, but also sorry and guilty for Chelsea’s misfortunes in the past.

Annie Ellis, Roy’s mother, was crying as she held Chelsea’s hands. Chelsea didn’t know why the Ellisfamily were so excited about her presence, but she didn’t ask.

Annie took out a set of jade jewelry and said, “This is for you. Have it.”

Chelsea could tell from the color of the set of jewelry that it was priceless. “I can’t take this. It musthave cost a lot.”

“It’s just a set of jewelry. Nothing valuable, just take it,” Annie said in a serious tone.

The others also persuaded Chelsea to take it.

Chelsea had no choice but to take it. “Thank you, Grandma Annie.”

She planned to keep it in Roy’s and Kelli’s custody later.

Roy and Kelli had also prepared a gift for Chelsea. They gave Chelsea a house in Vertoak so that shewouldn’t need to rent an apartment anymore.

Chelsea was dumbfounded. Kelli said gently, “You must feel lonely in Vertoak. A house will give you asense of belonging and security.”
