Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife’s Heart Chapter 171

Edmund's initial plan was to render an apology to Chelsea for what he had said to her. This truth came as a shock to him. It was hard for him to believe Diane

could go to great lengths to destroy his marriage with Chelsea. No wonder Chelsea had insisted on the divorce.

"It doesn't matter anymore if she's the reason our marriage didn't work out.

What matters is that we're divorced now. It's Diane who owes you an explanation. So please, leave me out of it," Chelsea told Edmund unconcernedly.

She continued trying to wriggle herself out of his grip but he wouldn't let go.

"Why didn't you let me know about this when you found out?"

Chelsea pursed her lips and took a long look at him. She succeeded in shaking off his hand and walked away without looking back. What was the point in telling

him? Why should she keep chasing the issue?

Diane's fake pregnancy result was not the root cause of their divorce. It didn't seem like Edmund understood all that. He kept throwing the blame around for

the divorce. That was why she violently shook off his hand. He just upset her.

Edmund could feel Chelsea's annoyance but he couldn't explain why she was angry. He was going to try to figure things out, but for now, he took an angry

look at Diane and coldly demanded, "Tell me the truth!"

Diane knew she was at the end of a rope and so, calmly, she released the grip of her teeth on her bottom lip and admitted truthfully, "Yes, I did it."

Edmund asked her again, "Why?"

"It was Sonya's suggestion. I had accompanied her to the hospital when she was having an abortion. It was there she told me that I could get a fake

pregnancy test result to upset Chelsea. She also said Chelsea desperately wanted a baby because your grandfather had been on your neck about having a

baby with her. So Sonya made me claim her pregnancy test result as mine."

Even in her admission, Diane still found a way to put all the blame on Sonya.

Edmund was furious as he heard all she said. It didn't matter who brought the idea, his sister was still involved. He had always cared for her, looked out for

her, and tried to give her stability and freedom, even though her behavior irritated him.

Sonya never respected Chelsea and was always troubling her, while he acted like he didn't notice all the while, but he never expected her to go to any length

to get involved in an immoral act. Diane's actions were also really appalling.

Diane couldn't handle Edmund's silence and so she suddenly burst into tears.

"I'm sorry! I was so in love with you and so I lost my mind then. I was always jealous whenever I remembered that both of you were together, so I didn't

hesitate to take up Sonya's suggestion."

Diane wept profusely, "I have always regretted breaking up with you when I did.

Edmund, I really love you…"

Edmund watched Diane crying but didn't even care. He shouldn't be here in the bathroom for this long and so with disgust, he ordered Diane to come out.

He called his driver at once and instructed him, "Find Sonya and ask her to come to the garden, behind the hall."

Sonya was kissing a man she had just met at the event, in her car, in the parking lot when the driver found her. If the driver hadn't come when he did, they

would have gone much further.

At the interruption, Sonya, dissatisfied, wound the window down and said to the driver, "Tell him that I'm busy!"

The driver noticed her messy clothes but chose to look away as he continued,

"It would be better if you go now as Mr. Nelson seems to be very angry."

Sonya knew how Edmund's temper could be when he was angry. He could be really scary. So she fixed her clothes, said goodbye to the man that was with her

in the car, and reluctantly went to Edmund. At Sonya's arrival at the garden, she could see that Diane was sitting on a bench, crying, while a very angry Edmund

was standing beside her.

"Edmund…" Sonya called out, as she walked over to where they were. Her steps were ridden with guilt.

On sighting her, Edmund became furious and shouted, "You'll leave the country and go abroad tomorrow!"

 

Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife’s Heart Chapter 172

A cold sweat broke out on Sonya's forehead. Her eyes turned red with fury and sadness. "No, I won't go! I don't want to go abroad!"

Lately, Edmund hadn't talked about sending her abroad. She thought he had changed his mind. To her surprise, he actually wanted her to leave tomorrow.

After getting over the shock a little bit, she rushed over to Diane and shook her.

"Diane, what's wrong with my brother? Did something happen? Why did he suddenly ask me to leave the country tomorrow?"

Diane could do nothing but ball her eyes out. She was so helpless that she couldn't save herself. How could she help Sonya now?

"Sonya, I have had it up to here with you. I didn't know that you could go as far as faking a pregnancy test result to destroy my marriage a year ago. How could

you be so immoral?" Edmund shouted.

Sonya's heart skipped a beat when she heard her brother's statement. She thought her involvement in his failed marriage would always remain hidden. She

didn't think that the secret would be revealed, let alone that she would be labeled the main culprit.

To save herself, she hurried to her brother and explained, "You have to believe me, Big bro. I have no hand in that. Diane was the one that suggested it. She

coaxed me to cooperate with her."

"Sonya!" Diane yelled at the top of her lungs and stood up, murdering her ally with her eyes.

Sonya shouted back, "What? Why did you yell my name like that? Did I lie about you coming up with the idea and coaxing me?"

Sonya applied more pressure on her to prove her innocence. "Diane, don't you dare try to put the blame on me now. I would never have helped you if it weren't

because you were good for my brother. You practically pushed me into it!"

Diane couldn't believe her ears. She gasped exasperatedly and almost tore her hair out.

Both of them were partners in the crime. The cat had been let out of the bag now. However, none of them wanted to bear the consequences of their actions.

The once-so-friendly allies were now enemies who traded blame.

Edmund was angry with both of them, so he didn't care who forced who. With a cold expression, he looked at his sister and declared, "Nothing you say will

change my mind, Sonya. You must go abroad tomorrow. Go home and pack your bags. Don't make a fool of yourself in public!"

Afterwards, he looked at Diane with his eyes filled with utter disgust. "This is the last straw, Diane. I want nothing to do with you from now on. Stay the fuck away from me!"

Edmund then turned around and left. Diane and Sonya burst into tears. But no one cared about them.

Back in the banquet hall, Chelsea met Zuri as soon as she came out of the bathroom.

Zuri hurriedly walked to her and asked worriedly, "I saw Edmund enter the bathroom. Did he bully you?"

"No, not at all," Chelsea answered, shaking her head.

Zuri narrowed her eyes and further inquired, "What exactly happened in there?

You look unhappy."

Chelsea took a deep breath and told her friend what happened in the bathroom.

"Well, Edmund finally found out about the fake pregnancy test result that Diane sent to me over a year ago."

This news stunned Zuri for a while. She suddenly clapped her hands and laughed heartily. "Finally, the cat is out of the bag! It was a long time coming.

Diane is done for now!"

Chelsea didn't utter a word. It seemed that Diane was indeed ruined. Judging by how Edmund looked angry, he must be surprised to find Diane's true color.

"Thank goodness that bitch's doom is finally here. This will be a lesson to others like her. People should refrain from living a double life. After all, they would get

embarrassed once their secret is revealed," Zuri uttered, relishing her enemy's downfall.

Both friends were still talking when Orlando, who was dressed in a white suit,

came over. Zuri quickly came up with an excuse and left them.

Chelsea shook her head speechlessly. She knew that her friend was making a concerted effort to make her socialize with men recently.

"Long time no see, Chelsea. How have you been?" Orlando greeted her with a complicated look on his face.

Chelsea smiled and responded, "Hey, I'm good. How are you?"

"Not bad," Orlando replied, staring at her. He cleared his throat awkwardly and continued, "Zuri told me a while ago that Mr. Nelson is your ex-husband…"

Orlando had only found out during the online backlash a few days ago that Chelsea was a divorcee. He was even more shocked to learn that Edmund was

actually her ex-husband.

It was then he understood the strange thing that happened when he and Chelsea had a dinner after she returned to the country. A waiter had brought a

plate of expensive steak stating that it was from a certain Mr. Nelson.

Orlando also understood why Edmund suddenly appeared to help at the police station the last time.

"Yes, he is my ex-husband," Chelsea replied with a faint smile.

She sighed sadly and added, "Well, you shouldn't waste your time on me anymore."

"Don't say that, Chelsea. I don't mind that you once married. Your past doesn't define you," Orlando said, staring at her seriously.

Chelsea was speechless and lost in thought.

Young men nowadays were really strange. Why was Orlando so interested in a divorced woman when he could have any young woman who had never been

married?

Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife’s Heart Chapter 173

Orlando asked curiously, "I don't mean to pry or offend you, but Mr. Nelson is a handsome and rich man. Why did you divorce him?"

"Wealth and looks mean nothing when there's no love. Mr. Nelson never loved me," Chelsea replied indifferently.

She was no longer ashamed to speak her truth. Saying that Edmund never loved her didn't unnerve her.

A trace of surprise flashed through Orlando's eyes. The next second, he sneered irritably. "Gosh! It's such a shame that Mr. Nelson is like other silly

men."

A big question mark appeared on Chelsea's face. Orlando tut-tutted and added contemptuously, "He had no respect for the sanctity of marriage. Instead of

doting on his wife, he frolicked with another woman, thinking that his wife wasn't good enough. What a blind man!"

It was no news Edmund and Diane had been dating while he was still married.

Now that Orlando knew Edmund was once married to Chelsea, he couldn't understand why he cheated on her with Diane.

It was a downgrade in his opinion. He felt that Chelsea was better than Diane in all ramifications. Why did Edmund settle for less?

Chelsea held her right cheek and chuckled. "Don't say that, Orlando. One man's meat is another man's poison. Everyone can't like the same thing. You are still

young. Don't get caught up in the mess of relationships. Focus on your career."

"Age is just a number, Chelsea. I'm young, but I'm mentally more mature than my age. I know exactly what I want. I'm not like other men," Orlando stubbornly

declared.

"Oh, I…" Chelsea was about to respond when she saw Edmund walking towards them. Her eyebrows furrowed immediately.

What did he want? Why was he walking up to her again?

Orlando followed her gaze only for his eyes to fall on Edmund. Without sparing a second to think, he turned around and shielded Chelsea. Edmund shot him a

murderous look and said to Chelsea, "We need to talk."

Orlando took the initiative to say, "You can't…"

"Okay," Chelsea agreed to Edmund's suggestion, cutting Orlando short.

The banquet hall was crowded. Chelsea didn't want Edmund to make a scene in front of all these people. And that was why she agreed.

Looking up at Orlando, she flashed him a reassuring smile and said, "I'll be fine.

Please go ahead and enjoy the party."

Orlando didn't want to leave her alone with her ex-husband. But he had to since Chelsea already consented to it.

The former couple walked out of the banquet hall one after the other. Edmund led her to his car and opened the door of the front passenger seat. Chelsea

glanced at him. Standing outside would draw attention to them, so she got into the car reluctantly.

Edmund immediately got behind the wheel and drove off without uttering a word.

After thinking for a while, Chelsea called Luka. "Hello, Mr. Pierce. Something just came up. I just left the party. I'm sorry for the inconvenience this may cause

you."

Luka had brought her as his date tonight. It was improper to leave him at the party. He might get worried once he noticed her absence, so she called to give

him a heads-up.

"Tsk, tsk!" Edmund muttered as soon as she finished speaking. He was mocking her for reporting her move to Luka as if she were a child.

Chelsea turned a deaf ear to him. On the other end of the line, Luka uttered worriedly, "Orlando already told me. Do you need my help?"

"No, thanks." Since Chelsea sounded calm, Luka was a little relieved. He thanked her for accompanying him tonight and told her to get home safely to

have a good rest. Afterward, he hung up the phone.

Edmund drove to the seaside. A cold wind blew once he got out of the car. It made him realize that he had made the wrong choice.

It was still summer, but the air here was cold. Chelsea had on a backless dress tonight.

When he saw that she wrapped her arms around herself and shivered, he instantly regretted bringing her here.

On impulse, he took off his suit jacket and tried to put it on her to prevent her from catching a cold.

Chelsea instinctively beat a hasty retreat to avoid getting covered with his suit jacket.

Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife’s Heart Chapter 174

"Thanks, but no thanks. There would be no need for that. I don't feel cold,"

Chelsea said with a straight face. This was a big lie. She just didn't want to accept his kindness now.

Edmund turned a deaf ear to her words. After staring at her meaningfully, he moved closer and wrapped his jacket around her.

Chelsea didn't want to put up a fight. If she did, his arms would continue to be wrapped around her.

She quickly grasped the flaps of the jacket and smiled politely. "Thanks."

Edmund let go of her. After taking a deep breath, he asked seriously, "Please be honest with me, Chelsea. Did you divorce me because of that fake pregnancy

test result?"

Without waiting for a response, he added, "Nothing happened between me and Diane. I never slept with her while we were dating, let alone after I got married

to you. More so, I haven't touched her after our divorce."

Edmund had only intended to tell Chelsea that he hadn't been sexually intimate with Diane during their marriage.

He didn't know when he blurted out the entire truth. A strange urge drove him to say everything. It was almost as if he was afraid that she wouldn't take his word

for it.

Chelsea was a little surprised when she heard his words. He had dated Diane for a long time. How come he didn't have sex with her?

Anyway, that was beside the point.

Chelsea looked at him and said calmly, "You don't get it, Edmund."

"What don't I get? Please explain," Edmund uttered with confusion written all over his face.

Chelsea held her chest and explained sadly, "I didn't divorce you because of external interference or whatever you had been going with Diane. I did it

because you didn't love me."

Turning to look at the sea, she added calmly, "Do you remember? On the day of your grandpa's birthday party, he urged you to have a baby with me. You said I

wasn't worthy of carrying your child. You even said why you should have a baby with a woman you didn't love. Do you remember?"

Color drained from Edmund's face. His expression froze instantly. He remembered saying all that. At that time, he thought Chelsea had incited his

grandfather to put pressure on him to have a baby. He thought she wanted to seal her position as his wife by bearing him a child.

It wasn't until she resolutely asked for a divorce and gave up the position of Mrs.

Nelson did he realize that he was totally wrong.

Still staring at the sea, Chelsea added in a bitter voice, "My heart is not made of stone, Edmund. I'm human like everyone else. What you said that day was the

last straw that broke the camel's back. I was so heartbroken that I decided to divorce you. Just so we are clear, I divorced you because of how you treated

me, not because of the actions of outsiders."

The fact that Edmund hadn't figured this out meant he still couldn't acknowledge his faults.

He still expected everyone to love and obey him unconditionally.

Silence was the only response Chelsea got from him after she finished speaking.

Unwilling to stay any longer, Chelsea took off his jacket and handed it to him.

She then asked, "Can I leave now?"

She had explained why she divorced him. There was no need to drag on.

Moving on was what Chelsea had in mind. She was going to leave her painful past and see if she could meet the right man. She decided not to love any man

unless he loved her first.

Without taking back his jacket, Edmund asked, "Why didn't you inform me after you found out that the pregnancy test result was fake?"

Shrugging indifferently, Chelsea replied with alienation, "Of what good would that have been? We were already divorced. Besides, you would have accused

me of slandering Diane and trying to get back into your life."

Edmund always treated Diane like a queen while he discarded Chelsea like a filthy rag. As a result, she had reasoned that he would call her a liar if she ever

brought that matter up.

Chelsea was done with this conversation. She put the jacket on one of his hands and started walking away.

"Wait!" Edmund shouted, following her. He held her arm and said with difficulty,

"Chelsea, I'm so sorry."

Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife’s Heart Chapter 175

Chelsea hadn't expected Edmund would suddenly apologize. But she calmly accepted. "It's okay, I forgive you."

After saying that, she asked him, "Can you take me back to the banquet now?"

Chelsea's nonchalance made the walls of composure of Edmund crack faster than he could do anything about it.

He had dealt with what had happened earlier tonight and even apologized to Chelsea, but she acted as if it all meant nothing to her.

Seeing that Edmund hadn't moved or said anything, Chelsea took out her phone and said, "Just forget it. I'll call a taxi to take me there."

Before Chelsea could finish her words, Edmund pulled her all of a sudden.

He had only intended to tell Chelsea that he would drive her, but in his rage, he subconsciously pulled her hard. To make things even worse, Chelsea was

wearing high heels, so when he pulled her, she sprained her ankle.

The shock and the pain hit her all at once and she was about to fall. Edmund held her up immediately. "I'm so sorry. Are you okay?"

As Chelsea was wearing a dress exposing her waist, Edmund held her arm with one hand and went for her waist with the other to support her. As soon as he

touched her smooth skin, his whole body tensed up and he held his breath.

As she was in so much pain, Chelsea didn't care about it at that moment. She looked down at her ankle and said, "I think I sprained my ankle."

Edmund was embarrassed.

What bad luck did he have to make her sprain her ankle? And that too after getting her to forgive him.

He had not only hurt her feelings, but he was now also hurting her body.

Edmund apologized before he could think of anything else, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I used too much strength."

He lifted Chelsea into his arms and said anxiously, "I'll take you to the hospital before it gets any worse."

Chelsea who was suddenly picked up by him felt a little embarrassed. "I can walk by myself. Put me down please."

She was being held so intimately by her ex-husband while she was wearing a thin dress. All of a sudden she became too aware of his hand on her waist. It

was just too embarrassing.

However, Edmund didn't listen to her. He walked a few steps to the car with Chelsea safe in his arms. How could he let her in an injured state walk on her

own?

After placing Chelsea gently in the car seat, Edmund squatted down and gently took off her shoes. He then held her ankle to check the injury.

Feeling the warmth of his hand wrapped around her ankle, Chelsea's face couldn't help burning as she tried to get her mind to focus.

With her cheeks flaming red, she tried to take her foot back. "Let's go to the hospital and get a doctor to check it."

Edmund rubbed her ankle gently and said, "Why are you so shy?"

Chelsea's heart skipped a beat. She imagined he would say something shocking like, he had already seen everything there was to see.

"Let's go to the hospital," Edmund said and Chelsea had to shake her head as the imaginary Edmund faded to the back of her mind. Fortunately, he didn't say

any of that. After loosening her ankle, he glanced at her again to make sure she was okay before going to the driver's seat.

Not long after he drove away, Alena called Edmund.

He knew that the only reason she was calling was to blame and emotionally blackmail him, so he said first, "Mom, Sonya is unteachable. Sending her

abroad is the best course of action."

Alena was choked by tears at his words, but she still desperately pleaded for Sonya, "She must have done that on an impulse. How about asking her to

apologize to Chelsea?"

Edmund answered coldly, "It's too late."

He had already divorced Chelsea. What was the point of Sonya apologizing to her?

Edmund continued while suppressing his anger so that he didn't crush the car.

"Besides, you think that Sonya did such a horrible thing on impulse. It is clear that you are the one who has been spoiling her. She is not suitable to continue

to live with you any longer."

Alena was so furious that she couldn't help shouting, "Edmund! I'm your mother!

How dare you talk to me like that? Do you want to force me to my death?"

Edmund already had a headache from all the screaming. Alena only cared about her own interests and tried to protect Sonya. Yet not even once did she

consider his feelings or what he was going through?

Was he just a tool for her to obtain power and wealth?

Thinking of that, he said impatiently, "She did something wrong, she has to be punished for it."

Then he hung up. He didn't want to talk to Alena anymore.

Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife’s Heart Chapter 176

The air in the car was a little depressing after the phone call.

After pondering for a while, Chelsea finally broke the silence. "It's all over,

Edmund. I don't want to cause any trouble. You don't have to send Sonya abroad."

"No, it's not over. It's just the beginning," Edmund shouted angrily.

Chelsea bit back the words she had wanted to say. He was clearly in a bad mood, so she decided to keep silent.

He was free to do whatever he deemed fit.

Chelsea took a deep breath and whipped out her phone to call Luka. "Hello, Mr.

Pierce. I won't be returning to the banquet hall. I sprained my ankle."

Luka instantly became worried. "What? How did that happen? Are you okay?

Where are you now? I'll come to get you."

"It's nothing serious. Don't worry about me. Mr. Nelson is taking me to the hospital now," Chelsea hurriedly said.

She intentionally didn't call Edmund by his first name.

With a remorseful tone, Luka uttered, "I'm sorry, Chelsea. I brought you to the banquet as my date, but I failed to protect you."

"No! This is not your fault, it's mine," Chelsea said quickly.

"Once the doctor attends to you, please give me feedback on whatever he or she says, okay?" Luka ordered resignedly.

"Sure thing!" Chelsea agreed.

After she hung up the phone, she looked out of the window and took in the beautiful night scenery.

She and Edmund seldom went out together while they were married.

His family gatherings were the only occasions they attended together. They both lived completely different lives as if they were just housemates.

While Edmund was taking the business world by storm and making a name for himself, Chelsea was always at home.

Edmund kept her away from the public eye. He always avoided questions about his marriage and also never took her out for any social functions.

This wasn't because he wanted to protect her. He did it because he didn't care about her.

Chelsea was jarred out from her deep thoughts after they got to the hospital.

Edmund parked the car and tried to carry her out. However, she refused.

The hospital was crowded. She didn't want to draw attention to herself being too close to Edmund.

"Please get me a wheelchair at the reception desk. Or better still, I could hop in slowly." Chelsea tried to move her injured leg as she spoke.

As far as she was concerned, hopping was a better option than for him to carry her.

"The distance is quite long. How do you intend to hop all the way on one foot?"

Edmund queried, narrowing his eyes at her.

He didn't need to be told that Chelsea was trying to avoid getting held by him.

Since he couldn't carry her against her wish or allow her to suffer pain any further, he decided to go in and ask for a wheelchair.

He reasoned that he was only doing this because she was injured.

However, he couldn't help but admit that she was so stubborn.

After Chelsea sat in the wheelchair, Edmund put his suit jacket on her again.

Her waist was bare, so he feared that she would catch a cold tonight.

The doctor examined Chelsea's ankle briefly. He then said, "You will be fine,

ma'am. None of your bones got broken. Only some soft tissues were injured.

You just need to massage your ankle with some ointment regularly. Take a good rest at home. Don't stress yourself or even walk for some days."

Chelsea breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, that's good to know. Thank you, Doc."

"Doesn't she need to have an X-ray done?" Edmund asked worriedly.

He didn't think that the simple examination was enough to tell if Chelsea's ankle was all right or not. He wanted her to receive adequate treatment.

The doctor squinted at Edmund, not uttering a word.

Chelsea quickly broke the ice. "It's fine, Doc. Thank you once again. I'll go and get the prescribed ointment first."

Edmund glared at the doctor with dissatisfaction and pushed Chelsea out.

"That doctor knows nothing. I will call Chris over." Edmund stopped pushing the wheelchair in the corridor. He took out his phone, intending to ask Chris to come

and examine her.

Chelsea suffered a banging headache immediately. She held her forehead and said seriously, "Stop making a fuss here. I'm fine. If it was a severe injure, I

wouldn't have been calm talking here."

Edmund was furious. He was doing this for her own good. But she said he was about to make a fuss.

He wanted to get short with her. On second thought, he decided against it since she was injured now.

"Are you sure you are okay? Doesn't your ankle hurt so bad that you can't even walk?" he asked worriedly.

"You heard the doctor. I just need to massage some ointment into the ankle to prevent it from swelling. I'll be just fine," Chelsea responded stubbornly.

She wasn't sure if she could walk. After all, he didn't give her the chance to walk yet.

She purposely asked for a wheelchair because she didn't want him to hold her.

Since Chelsea insisted that she was fine, Edmund helped her get the prescribed items at the pharmacy before he wheeled her out of the hospital.

Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife’s Heart Chapter 177

As soon as Edmund and Chelsea got to the lobby, Zuri arrived and rushed after them.

After getting out of the car, she ran to Chelsea while still in high heels and pushed Edmund away on purpose, as he was about to help Chelsea up. Seeing

him next to her made Zuri furious.

Edmund was stunned for a while, as he tried to regain his balance from the sudden shove.

Zuri then went to help Chelsea and asked worriedly, "How's your ankle? What did the doctor say?"

Chelsea tried to calm her down. "Don't worry. It's just a little red and swollen. I was told to rest for a few days and avoid putting pressure on it so that it won't

get worse."

Zuri sighed in relief. "Someone can't just stop hurting others. You were fine at the dinner, but the minute you went out with him you sprained your ankle. Isn't

that just ironic?"

She just didn't like Edmund and Zuri wasn't doing anything to hide that fact.

Orlando or Luka was better than Edmund in her mind because they were sincere when it came to Chelsea.

They really loved Chelsea, so she knew they would take good care of her. They wouldn't let her get hurt on their watch.

But what about Edmund?

He was only satisfied when Chelsea was hurt. The more she thought about it,

the angrier Zuri got.

Edmund couldn't even defend himself from the woman's criticism.

Because what Zuri said was right. He was the reason why Chelsea sprained her ankle. He was the one who always hurt her.

Chelsea pulled Zuri's arm, silently begging her to shut up before the scene became even more awkward.

Just then, Luka came over to them after parking the car. He nodded to Edmund out of courtesy and then turned to Chelsea. "Let's go up."

Chelsea glanced at Zuri briefly and said, "Zuri will go upstairs with me. Mr.

Pierce and Mr. Nelson, you can both go back. Don't worry about me."

Luka said, "It will probably be inconvenient for you to walk around for the next few days. I'll make some food for you before I leave. At the very least, I can

prepare breakfast for you tomorrow."

Hearing that, Edmund couldn't help but think that Luka was too pretentious. Did he think he was now awesome because he could cook?

Chelsea only sprained her ankle, but there was chivalrous Luka offering to cook for her.

Just as Chelsea was about to refuse, Zuri beat her to it and said, "That's great.

Mr. Pierce, although I can help take care of Chelsea, my skills in the kitchen are non-existent."

She then invited Luka to go with them upstairs, "Let's go. I want to taste the food you cook."

Since Zuri had gone ahead and invited him, there was no way Chelsea could refuse.

So, she went to Edmund. "Mr. Nelson, thank you so much for taking me to the hospital. It's getting late. You should go back and get some rest."

Then the three of them went to Chelsea's apartment, leaving Edmund alone in front of the building, with anger swirling in his chest.

On his way back home, he called Yusuf and complained that Luka was so acting like the perfect gentleman in front of Chelsea.

But even Yusuf seemed to be on Luka's side. "I think what Luka is doing is right.

Men should be caring for the woman they like, shouldn't they? If you don't offer to please her, then how will she know you are the right man for her?"

Edmund was calling to complain about Luka, but what Yusuf said irritated him even more. Even his friend didn't think he was good enough for Chelsea.

Yusuf went on, "Don't ever blame me for not reminding you. Luka is always there to protect Chelsea and care for her when she is weak. It's easy to win her

heart that way."

Not able to stand more praises for Luka, Edmund hung up the call before his friend could finish.

After the three of them got to the apartment, Luka went to the kitchen and soon came out with two sandwiches. "I'm sure you two didn't eat much at the dinner

party. You can have these for now."

"Oh, Mr. Pierce, you are so considerate," Zuri praised dramatically.

Luka went back to the kitchen and prepared breakfast for the next day.

While eating, Zuri asked Chelsea suspiciously, "What happened between you and Edmund after you guys left?"

Chelsea smiled. "Nothing. He just pulled me unintentionally, and I lost my balance, that's how I sprained my ankle."

With an angry snort, Zuri said, "I knew it. Edmund has never and will never consider other people's feelings. How could he not know that you were wearing

high-heeled shoes? Why did he pull you?"

Chelsea looked down without saying anything.

While the two of them were enjoying the food, they were oblivious to a rumor that was spreading online.

It had a picture of Diane leaving the party with a miserable look, and the title was "Diane might have broken up with Edmund".

Someone then commented on it, saying he heard that Diane and Edmund had quarreled. Although no one knew what they had fought about, there had to be

something wrong between the two.

Soon, the news about Diane breaking up with Edmund was a treading topic as everyone searched for more information on the story.

Among the comments, there was one saying, "I don't think Edmund has ever announced his relationship with Diane."

As a result, the anonymous netizen was scolded by Diane's fans for hours.

Said netizen was so angry that he made a post analyzing the relationship between Diane and Edmund.

In the end, he came to a conclusion that there was never an instance where Edmund had admitted to having a relationship with Diane in public. Diane was

the one who had given all kinds of hints that she was about to marry Edmund.

Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife’s Heart Chapter 178

The post caused an uproar on the internet. It soon became the hottest topic online.
