Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife’s Heart Chapter 241

"Chelsea." Edmund squatted in front of Chelsea while bending his knees. His attractive face was filled with remorse. "I do not dispute that I have used such hurtful words in the past, but I now know you rather well. Upon recognizing your advantages, I have abandoned my former bias against you. I acknowledge that I committed an error, but you have to give me an opportunity to repent, right? Now that you are ignoring me, I have no opportunity to show myself."

Especially moments ago, Chelsea shut the door and denied Edmund's entry.

It was not until then Edmund realized that Chelsea no longer needed him. He was gripped by anxiety.

Hearing that, Chelsea wiped away her tears, gazed directly into Edmund's eyes, and taunted him, "Edmund, you continue to be so selfish. You only consider your own emotions and never those of others."

Edmund did not anticipate Chelsea accusing him of being selfish.

Chelsea saw through Edmund's thoughts, looked away, and stated, "I am now Luka's girlfriend. Do you still want me to provide you with an opportunity? You will place me in a position where I will have two boyfriends simultaneously. Do you intend to protect and care for me, or do you intend to ruin me?"

The question posed by Chelsea halted Edmund.

Edmund forgot once again that Chelsea was now Luka's girlfriend.

Edmund had convinced himself to accept the truth, but his mind refused to acknowledge that Luka and Chelsea were romantically involved.

Edmund was uncertain whether it was his consciousness's doing or the fact that Chelsea and Luka did not appear to be lovers.

As soon as Edmund had this notion, he immediately stood up, grabbed Chelsea up off the floor, and pressed her against the wall behind him.

"Are you truly with Luka?" he said while touching Chelsea's chin and squinting at her.

Chelsea was astonished.

She did not reveal her deception, did she?

Edmund grew nervous and said, "Say something!" after observing Chelsea's expression.

Chelsea quickly regained her composure and averted her gaze. "Of course it's true. Will I lie on this matter?"

Edmund was upset by Chelsea's attitude. Edmund's instincts led him to conclude that Chelsea was lying.

Edmund bent his head and passionately kissed Chelsea on the lips while annoyed and depressed.

The long-lost sensation Edmund had as he kissed Chelsea aroused all of his desires.

Regardless of Chelsea's opposing, Edmund gripped her face and passionately kissed her.

Chelsea was kissed unexpectedly. When she regained consciousness, her initial response was to bite hard Edmund.

Edmund experienced the agony and stopped the kissing, but he maintained a firm grip on Chelsea.

There was a sexual vibe in the air between them.

"Edmund, you scumbag!" Chelsea scolded when she was unable to escape.

Edmund still pinched Chelsea's chin, placed his thumb to her lips, and questioned, "Have you kissed Luka?"

Noticing Chelsea's silence, Edmund kissed her again and bit her lips firmly. Then he said, "Like this?"

Chelsea felt like crying, and she couldn't utter a word.

Edmund's face darkened further.

In Chelsea's ear, he muttered, "Don't irritate me, Chelsea. I can do anything."

Edmund then pushed Chelsea against the wall and kissed her once again.

Chelsea's rage caused her to strike Edmund, who she squeezed and scratched.

Edmund was bullying her, using her to his advantage and threatening her.

They had been kissing for quite some time. Just as Edmund unfastened his bra, Chelsea's phone rang.

Gasping for air, Chelsea shoved Edmund and said, "My phone... It's ringing. I must respond to it."

Edmund halted and his gaze became gloomy. He gritted his teeth and said, "Chelsea, don't let me find out you lied to me about being with Luka, or I will get even with you!"

Agitated and enraged, Chelsea pushed Edmund away.

She raced to grab her phone before rushing into her bedroom and locking the door.

It was actually Roy.

Chelsea ignored Edmund as she drew a long breath to calm down before picking up the phone.

Roy asked out of care, "Have Edmund's folks left?"

Roy disliked Edmund's parents so greatly that he was unwilling to even utter their names.

Chelsea answered truthfully, "They departed after I hung up the phone."

"That's excellent." Roy went on to add, "I've requested someone to watch the lawsuit. I'm confident that no one from the Nelson family will be able to tamper with it."

Chelsea whispered, "Thank you."

Roy stated, "There's no need to thank me. You are right to sue her. I previously had a favorable opinion

of Edmund, but I did not anticipate him having such a violent sibling and awful parents. I think Edmund must be not much better! How could you divorce him if he is a decent man?"

Roy had a negative impression of Jaime, and he even grew to dislike Edmund.

Chelsea opened her lips to say something positive about Edmund, but as she recalled what Edmund had just done to her, she remained silent.

Edmund was so audacious. It was best if everyone hated him!

Roy asked, "The individual you want to sue is Edmund's sister. How is Edmund's attitude?"

Sincerely, Chelsea responded, "He supports my legal action..."

"He doesn't assist his family for your sake?" Roy said crossly, "Forget it. It is pointless to discuss these individuals. I'm pleased that you can consent to be my goddaughter. You're now a member of our Ellis family, Chelsea."

Hearing that Chelsea had tears streaming down her cheeks.

Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife’s Heart Chapter 242

Chelsea felt warm in her heart.

She didn't understand why she had such a feeling. Although she met Roy just once, she didn't feel that he was a stranger. They clicked as if they had met before.

When Roy offered to be her godfather, she was thrilled to accept his proposal. It seemed like they were destined to be a family.

Roy was startled. "Why are you crying?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I'm just so happy," Chelsea replied, wiping her tears.

Life had been hard on her since her mother died. Zuri was the only one that showed her love.

During her marriage to Edmund, Ethan was also there for her to some extent. He was nice to her while his relatives hurt her.

It was nice to have someone show her fatherly love. She couldn't help shedding tears of joy now.

Roy breathed a sigh of relief. After a pause, he continued, "From now on, you should call us uncle and aunt. Is that okay with you?"

"Yes. I'm fine with that, Uncle Roy," Chelsea murmured, nodding her head.

For the umpteenth time, Roy was considerate about the arrangement she was comfortable with.

Roy said, "Your godmother will be discharged from the hospital in a few days. We will fly to Vertoak to see you soon."

"No, Uncle Roy. You don't have to come. I'll go down to Norrmalm to see you both instead."

She didn't think it was advisable for her godmother to fly when she just recovered. She needed to have a good rest.

Chelsea had a lot of time on her hands since she didn't have to be at the office every day. She would do the traveling instead.

Roy thought it through for a while and said, "That's a good idea. I can't wait to have you here! When you come, I'll take you to meet the rest of my family."

"Huh? You want me to meet your relatives?" Chelsea was startled. Cold beads of sweat appeared on her forehead all of a sudden.

Roy chuckled and said, "It's no biggy, Chelsea. You are our goddaughter now. It's only right that you meet the elders of the Ellis family. Your grandparents are still alive. They will be thrilled to meet you."

"But I..." Chelsea was lost for words.

She barely knew Roy and his wife. And now he wanted her to meet the rest of his family. Wasn't it too soon?

Chelsea wanted to take things slow. She didn't see the need to meet his other family members now. After all, she was just his goddaughter.

"Don't be nervous, okay? My family members don't bite. I'll be with you every step of the way." Roy knew that Chelsea was getting worked up. To ease her mind, he stated, "You are a member of my family from now on. Make it known to everyone that you are related to me. Your new family has your back. He-he!"

Roy said this jokingly, but he was actually very serious.

The members of the Ellis family were doing good in different works of life. Chelsea just had to say the word. They would come out in their numbers to protect her from anyone or anything that posed a threat to her safety.

Chelsea knew that Roy held her dear to his heart. It was nice to have such a considerate backer.

At the thought of this, she was no longer worried. "Okay, Uncle Roy. I'll put the important things here in order and then go over to see you."

"Now you are talking!" Roy sounded extremely happy.

It wasn't until Chelsea hung up the phone that she remembered she kept Edmund waiting outside.

"Should I just leave him there?" she thought out loud, tapping her chin. After a while, she went out. But Edmund was nowhere to be found.

Chelsea breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, her phone vibrated. It was a text message from Edmund. "I'll give you some time to

break off the messy relationship between you and Luka."

"The nerve of this guy!" Chelsea cussed out, stamping her feet. Her fake relationship with Luka was going on smoothly until Edmund began to interfere.

Besides, why did he think something was wrong with her relationship with Luka?

Was he thinking she was only with Luka to make him jealous?

At the thought of this, Chelsea was even more infuriated. She blacklisted Edmund's phone number.

"Let's see how you will send me audacious messages now," Chelsea muttered.

She put her phone aside and went to meet the cats.

She had put them in the study when her unexpected visitors came. She wondered if the loud noises freaked them out.

Meanwhile, Edmund went back to the company.

He was relieved when he heard Chelsea speaking to Roy on the phone. Anyone was better than Luka in his books.

The image of him kissing Chelsea forcefully appeared in his mind. He enjoyed it, but he was worried that she would dislike him even more now.

He had also kissed her the last time they quarreled at his house.

Edmund didn't want to continue this way. He badly wanted to make up with her. And that was why he sent her a message, asking her to break up with Luka.

Noon came and Edmund got no response from her. He had stared at his phone screen a million times.

He was worried that she was angry with him because of what his parents did. Sitting up on his office chair, he dialed her number. But it disconnected at every trial.

Confused, he called Fay in and ordered, "Make a call to Chelsea with your phone."

Chelsea answered the call almost immediately.

Before Fay could say anything, Edmund snatched the phone from her hand and uttered discontentedly, "I tried calling you several times, but it won't go through. Why?"

Chelsea hung up the phone immediately after she heard his voice.

"Aargh!" Edmund grunted, staring at the phone screen.

Fay offered an explanation politely. "Mr. Nelson, I think... I think Chelsea blacklisted your number."

Edmund's face darkened. "What?"

Fay suggested, "How about you try sending her a message on Facebook messenger?"

Taking this advice, Edmund sent a message to Chelsea via Messenger. A big red exclamation mark popped up beside his message. He got a warning stating that he could no longer send messages to the other party.

Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife’s Heart Chapter 243

Edmund pulled his tie irritably.

He knew exactly why Chelsea blocked him. It was because he told her to break up with Luka.

"Gosh! This woman is really... Her temper is getting out of hand!"

Edmund massaged his temples and took deep breaths. With his hands on his hips, he asked Fay, "I need you to answer this question real quick. If you are in love with someone, will you affix 'Mr' to his name or call him by his work title?"

Fay pondered for a while. She lowered her eyes and replied, "Yes, I will."

She always addressed the man she loved as Mr. Collins.

Edmund frowned.

This wasn't the response he was expecting. His instincts told him that the relationship between Chelsea and Luka wasn't real. Now that he heard Fay's response, he wasn't so sure anymore.

Squinting his eyes at Fay, he wondered if his ex-wife was truly in love with her so-called boyfriend.

In the evening, Edmund asked Yusuf and Chris out for dinner.

Chris, who always stayed away from alcohol, poured himself a glass of wine.

"Hey, man! Did you break up with your girlfriend?" Yusuf asked.

"What girlfriend? I don't love any woman, so why would I go through a breakup?" Sensing that his friend asked that question because he was drinking, Chris explained, "I have been stressed due to work lately. I just want to relax my nerves."

"Oh, I see. How are you and Zora coming along?" Yusuf asked, squinting at him.

Chris rolled his eyes. "What sort of question is that? I don't have anything to do with her. We are just co-workers."

Yusuf rubbed his palms together and said excitedly, "Since you don't have anything to do with her, I'll chase her!"

Chris spat out a mouthful of wine.

"Easy there, dude." Yusuf handed him a piece of tissue paper. He then added, "Why do you look so nervous? Or don't you want me to chase her?"

Chris wiped his mouth and took a sip of water. After calming down, he queried, "Aren't you about to get married?"

"Who said anything about getting married? I already told my folks that I'm not doing that shit," Yusuf replied indifferently.

"Really? Why did you refuse to get married so easily?" Chris inquired curiously.

With a shrug, Yusuf answered, "It's pretty simple. I don't have feelings for those women. Why should I

imprison myself by getting married to one of them? If my parents are unhappy, they can disown me. No one can force me to do what I don't want to."

Yusuf was only accepted into the Collins family when he was eighteen years old. If it weren't for the fact that his father's wife couldn't have a male child, he wouldn't have been recognized since he was an illegitimate child.

A hint of sadness suddenly appeared on his face. He glanced at Edmund, who was next to him and said, "You know, I recently took a liking to Fay. But this guy right here banned me from getting close to her."

Edmund shot him a searing glare.

Yusuf turned to Chris and asked, "I hope you won't stand in my way now that I have decided to pursue Zora?"

Chris uttered seriously, "As the future director of Vertoak Hospital, I warn you against toying with my employee. Stay away from her!"

Chris was not just any doctor. He was next in line for the position of director. Although the hospital belonged to his family, he chose to practice medicine low-key. He started from the bottom when he was employed in the hospital.

Yusuf guffawed. "You have got to be kidding me! You don't have the right to dictate who your employee dates. Just tell me that you don't want me to chase her because you are into her."

Sparing his friend no time to respond, Yusuf added, "Stop slacking, dude. Chase her since you like

her!"

Chris rolled his eyes.

"Who likes Zora? Definitely not me. I'm only looking out for you, man. Zora is a heartless woman. She will break your heart into pieces. You better stay away from that beautiful man-eating monster," he mumbled to himself.

He wished he could tear Zora apart when he recalled what she did to him.

Yusuf lit a cigarette and glanced at Edmund, who smoking silently. "What's up with you, man? You haven't said a word since we got here. Are you unhappy?"

Yusuf saw himself as an expert when it came to women's affairs. He intended to advise his friends, who were novices.

Edmund puffed out smoke and asked, "What do I do now that she blocked me?"

Yusuf sat up in surprise. "Chelsea blocked you? Didn't you two just come back from a business trip? I thought you both were gradually mending fences. Whoa! That woman is really something!"

Edmund stared at his friend embarrassedly.

With his eyebrows raised, Yusuf asked, "What did you do to her? Or was it something you said?"

Edmund puffed out another ball of smoke before answering, "Well, I kissed her forcefully."

Yusuf let out an exasperated sigh. "I thought it was something serious. What's the big deal? Haven't you both had sex yet?"

"Hey, you aren't helping matters!" Edmund uttered in a clipped tone.

He wasn't in Chelsea's good books yet. Kissing her today earned him a spot on her blocked list. If he tried to have sex with her, she would block him in real life. How could he even do such a thing?

Yusuf cupped his hands and said apologetically, "I'm sorry. It skipped my mind that you are no longer a powerful man. I should have known that you can't try anything with Chelsea even if you wanted to."

"I'll bundle you up and fly you to Norrmalm first thing tomorrow morning!" Edmund threatened, his eyes blazing with fury.

Yusuf was at a loss. "Norrmalm? Why would you send me there? I have no business dealing there!"

Edmund sneered at him. "You are talkative. Maybe you can learn speeches there!"

Yusuf murdered him with his eyes. His so-called friend was insulting him.

He didn't want to talk to him anymore. He took out his phone and saw the hot news.

"What the fuck!" he cursed, his eyes widening.

"What happened?" Edmund and Chris asked in unison, staring at him.

Yusuf cautiously handed the phone to Edmund and said, "Luka's mysterious girlfriend has appeared. She went to Luka's home late at night with his cat."

Edmund's face suddenly darkened. He snatched the phone and carefully stared at the news on the screen.

In the video, a woman walked into Luka's house with a cat carrier in her hand. The brim of her hat was lowered. She didn't leave until the video was released.

Luka had been keeping the cat for many years, so his fans knew it well.

The cat carrier was the exact one Luka used for Sweet. He had customized it. There was a portrait of the cat on it.

Edmund could tell at a glance that the woman, whose body was tightly wrapped in a windbreaker, was none other than his ex-wife!

Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife’s Heart Chapter 244

The appearance of the strange woman in Luka's residence became a trending topic on all social media platforms.

A fan's comment read, "When we welcomed Luka at the airport, he didn't look too well. He must have had a hard time recently. Thank goodness his girlfriend went to his house. She can nurse him back to health in a few days. She's such a loving woman. Luka is in safe hands."

"Yeah, I agree. It's nice to see that our best actor is in a good relationship. God bless their union."

Edmund's mood got worse when he saw that all the comments were supportive.

Afraid that Edmund would throw his phone away, Yusuf snatched it back and said, "Calm down, bro."

Edmund's eyes darkened.

He had asked Chelsea to break up with Luka. Why the hell was she at his house now?

Could it be that his instincts were wrong? Was Chelsea truly in love with Luka?

Holding his forehead, Edmund rested his back on the sofa. "Will Chelsea only forgive me when I'm dead?"

Yusuf was shocked. "Why would you say such a thing? Are you planning to take your life?"

Edmund set his lips to a grim line without uttering a word.

Yusuf and Chris shared a confused glance.

The next second, Yusuf slapped the table. "Snap out of it, man! Chelsea isn't the only woman in the world. What kind of woman can't you get? I'm dead sure that a lot of women want to be with you. I know some of them. These women come in different sizes, colors, and heights. You can have whoever you want. Forget about your ex-wife!"

Yusuf tapped away on his phone, intending to dial a number.

Edmund put down his hand and said, "No one compares to Chelsea. I'm not interested in the women you have for me."

He wasn't a philanderer.

The only woman he had eyes for was Chelsea. It was either her or no one else!

Nonetheless, Yusuf still put the call through.

Ten minutes later, the door of the lounge swung open. A group of sexy women walked in majestically. Their feminine fragrances filled the room immediately.

Edmund frowned fiercely.

Chris couldn't help sneezing. He immediately excused himself to a corner.

"Come on, ladies! Mr. Nelson is in a bad mood. Make him happy!" After giving that order, Yusuf glanced at Chris and continued wickedly, "Mr. Warren just broke up with his girlfriend. He also needs some

comfort."

Chris's face turned pale in an instant. Why was Yusuf doing this? And where the hell did these women come out from? He just couldn't deal with that.

Just as he got up to escape, Edmund stormed out before him.

Chris followed suit. But before he left, he turned around and warned. "Yusuf, your day of reckoning is coming. You'd better not fall in love with any woman. Otherwise, Edmund and I will make fun of you!"

He then took to his heels.

Yusuf cackled evilly behind them.

When he was done laughing, he waved at the women, dismissing them.

Edmund and Chris were smoking outside the club.

Yusuf walked over to the porch and leaned against the handrail in a floppy way. Looking at Edmund, he said, "I don't think you should give up on life because one woman refused to love you back. How about you give her up and move on?"

Edmund rolled his eyes at him.

It was easy for Yusuf to say. If giving Chelsea up was that easy, would he be torturing himself like this?

Now, he understood how Chelsea felt all those years. She must have held out hope for a long time.

No matter how he treated her, she felt that he would one day fall in love with her. She must have imagined a long and happy life with him. Perhaps she even thought about bearing him a son and a daughter someday.

But how come she was able to throw all her hopes and dreams away?

Once the answer struck Edmund, he felt very remorseful. She gave up because he deeply hurt her.

"I have an idea," Yusuf said after a moment of silence.

Edmund finally turned to look at him.

Yusuf continued, "Didn't you think that Chelsea was playing the game of cat and mouse with you before? Why don't you do the same thing? You can pretend that you no longer care about her and date someone else. She might get jealous and realize that her feelings for you never changed. In the end, she would agree to get back with you!"

"No, I can't give her up!" Edmund declined without hesitation.

He couldn't let go of Chelsea, not even for a second.

Yusuf sighed tiredly. "I didn't say you should give her up for real. Just pretend!"

"I can't pretend!" Edmund turned down the suggestion again.

After staring at his friend, Yusuf spread out his hands and commented, "In that case, I can do nothing

to help you."

Edmund said nothing and took a long drag on his cigarette.

Chris suddenly raised his hand and said, "I also have an idea."

His friends immediately looked at him.

Their expectant looks gave Chris the heebie-jeebies.

He cleared his throat and said, "How about you pretend that you lost your memory? You will act as if the only memories you can recollect are that of when you and Chelsea were still a couple. The doctor will advise that she stay by your side for you to recover. During this time, she might fall in love with you again."

Before Edmund could air his thoughts about the idea, Yusuf said with disgust, "The soap operas you binge-watch are messing with your head, pal. You are a doctor. I thought you were smart. Why did you make such a ridiculous suggestion?"

Chris tried to make Yusuf see reasons with him. "My idea isn't ridiculous. Selective amnesia is actually a thing even though it doesn't happen very often. You can't teach me my job."

"I think this idea is feasible!" Edmund chipped in before they could argue any further.

Yusuf's mouth was agape.

Damn it! Why was this dude ready to risk everything? Yusuf pondered.

"Catch you later, guys!" Edmund threw the cigarette butt in the trash can and turned to leave.

Chris pulled him back and asked worriedly, "You aren't planning to get into a car accident right now just to set the plan in motion, are you?"

"Of course not! Why did you think that?" Edmund uttered, shooting him a cold look.

He planned to pretend to lose his memory, but not now.

Chris let go of him and said, "Okay, that's good to know. I was just scared. I'm not ready for it now. Drive safe."

Edmund walked towards his car.

Yusuf tut-tutted, staring at his friend's back. "Love is a drug. More like cocaine. It has driven our friend insane!"

He still couldn't believe that Edmund agreed to do such a thing just to win his ex-wife back.

Chris looked at Yusuf sneeringly and said, "A playboy like you won't understand. I'm waiting for the day you will fall in love. Something tells me you would be crazier than Edmund."

With these words, Chris left. Yusuf stood on the porch and shrugged indifferently.

What was love? He had no idea. Besides, he preferred to be oblivious so he wouldn't turn out like his

friends.

——

Chelsea didn't know Luka was coming back to Vertoak tonight.

In the evening, she received a call from him.

He said with a weak and raspy voice, "Chelsea, I'm back. I planned on dropping by your place, but I caught a cold."

Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife’s Heart Chapter 245

Chelsea asked, concerned, "What's wrong with you?"

Luka coughed and said, "I have a fever and I've been feeling kind of tired these days."

Chelsea said, anxiously, "I'll come see you."

"Thank you," Luka said. He breathed a sigh of relief on hearing Chelsea was coming to visit him. "Bring Sweet along when you are coming. I'm afraid it'll bully Arya if they are left alone."

Chelsea didn't know how to respond. Luka had a fever, but he still thought that her cat would be bullied.

Luka's cat was as easygoing as he was. His cat did not bully Arya in any way.

However, Chelsea thought Luka must miss his cat, so she agreed and hung up the phone.

She got dressed and set off with the cat.

She didn't expect to be photographed without her knowledge, but fortunately for her, she covered her face, so the reporter only got a shot of her back, but not her face.

When Chelsea got to Luka's house, she gave him some antipyretics. Then she found out that Luka hadn't eaten anything, so she quickly prepared a light meal.

Chelsea checked the time and found it was almost eleven o'clock. She wanted to leave, but Luka's fever hadn't gone down completely and he was asleep, so she had to stay.

She was about to walk out of the bedroom when Luka's phone rang.

She hurried to hang up the phone but paused when she saw the name on the screen.

Luka woke up and struggled to a sitting position. "Who is calling?"

Chelsea bit her bottom lip and handed the phone to Luka. "Edmund," she replied through gritted teeth.

Something must be wrong for Edmund to call Luka at this time.

Luka took the phone and looked knowingly at Chelsea as he said, "I guess he's calling for you."

Edmund had probably seen the trending topic and was probably anxious and angry.

Luka wanted to laugh.

It was too late for Edmund to get Chelsea back.

Some people don't know what they have till it's gone and only then do they regret losing it.

Chelsea shook her head and denied it. "How is that possible?"

Luka looked at the phone, which was still ringing, and asked, "Did you blacklist him?"

Chelsea was surprised. "How do you know?"

Luka just smiled and handed her the phone. "Answer it. He must be looking for you."

They both wanted Chelsea, so Luka could guess exactly what Edmund was thinking.

Luka was sure Edmund wasn't calling him at midnight to talk about work.

Chelsea answered the phone. "Are you at Luka's house?" Edmund asked, his voice devoid of emotion.

"Yes," Chelsea replied.

"What about Arya?" Edmund asked.

"I left her at home. I would only be staying for the night."

"How old is it? Why do you treat it cruelly by leaving it alone?" Edmund said, as though she had mistreated Arya.

Chelsea rolled her eyes.

She had prepared food and water for the cat before leaving, and she would be back the next morning at the latest. Was it necessary for Edmund to attack her like this?

Besides, as a person who never liked small animals, what right did Edmund have to judge her?

Chelsea, growing tired of the conversation, said, "I'll hang up now if you have nothing else to say."

Edmund hurriedly said, "I'll come get the keys from you, so I can go take care of Arya."

Chelsea pursed her lips thoughtfully.

She didn't want Edmund to take care of Arya. He didn't know how to take care of a cat, and she didn't want him in her home.

However, it was a cat given to her by Edmund, so she said, "If you are so worried about the cat, I'll ask Zuri to go take care of it. It's late and I don't want to bother you."

She then hung up the phone. Luka didn't ask what the conversation was about; instead he gently said, "You can go home. I'm fine now."

Chelsea shook her head, "I'm not leaving until your fever is gone."

Luka sighed slightly, "Thank you, Chelsea."

"It's nothing. Get some rest now. Call on me if you need anything," Chelsea said gently.

When she had been in the hospital, Luka had taken good care of her. There was no reason she couldn't do the same for him now.

"Okay," Luka said, as he lay back in the bed.

Satisfied, Chelsea left the bedroom.

After some thought, Luka took out his phone and sent a message to Edmund. "Mr. Nelson, I'm sick and have a fever. I don't have the strength to do anything to Chelsea. Please stop making something out of

nothing and go to bed."

Luka knew exactly what Edmund was worried about, so he sent the text message to calm him down.

Otherwise, none of them would have a good night's rest as Edmund would keep on making trouble all through the night.

Luka didn't want to stress out Chelsea.

Edmund was presently outside Luka's house.

He also had a house in this villa area which he never used.

He was about to go into Luka's house to get Chelsea out of there when he got Luka's text.

He calmed down after reading the message.

He had been brainstorming ways to stop Chelsea from spending the night at Luka's place. If something happened between them, he would kill Luka.

However, within himself, he knew that he still wouldn't give up on Chelsea even if she slept with Luka.

Edmund sat in the car and smoked cigarette. He had asked someone to drive out all the reporters scattered around Luka's villa, and then drove away.

Chelsea's identity would one day be exposed, but definitely not as Luka's real girlfriend but as Edmund's girlfriend, wife, or ex-wife at least.

To simply put it, Edmund wanted everyone to know that he and Chelsea shared an intimate relationship. Even if it was in the past.

Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife’s Heart Chapter 246

The next morning.

When Chelsea checked on Luka again and saw that his fever had gone down, she felt relieved.

She made a simple breakfast for both of them, and after they had both eaten to their fill, Chelsea got ready to leave.

Seeing this, Luka quickly changed his clothes and grabbed his car key. "I have an appointment with Purple today. I can drive you home before heading there."

Worried about being photographed and followed by reporters again, Chelsea said, "No, it's fine. I can get myself home safely. You go and do what you have to do.

Luka knew what she was really worried about. So he smiled and said, "I just looked around, and there are no reporters in sight. Not even one."

Chelsea's eyebrows shot up in surprise. Shouldn't the reporters be ready at all times to take pictures of her face?

Although it was hard for Luka to say this, he had to for Chelsea to feel safe. "Edmund must have asked someone to drive them away."

Lost in thought for a second after hearing that, Chelsea looked up and said, "Let's go then."

Since Edmund had made sure to get rid of the reporters, it was much safer for Chelsea to leave Luka's house without being photographed.

But just in case of any surprises, Chelsea covered her face before going out.

Luka had scheduled an appointment with Purple, in the meeting room of Peak Entertainment.

Purple had arrived a long time ago. Her haggard look said a lot about the previous night she had.

The last time when the paparazzi published the pictures of Chelsea and Luka together at the hospital, Purple immediately recognized Chelsea. She got so angry that she lost her temper and destroyed everything she came across in the living room.

She was angry and was feeling very vengeful.

Chelsea was just a few years younger and more beautiful than her. So what?

Chelsea and Luka had known each other for only a few years. But she, Purple, had known Luka for many years, long before he met Chelsea. So why on earth did Luka never look at her, but liked Chelsea? What did Chelsea have that she didn't?

Purple was so angry that the only way she could let it out was by crying. After thinking of what to do, she told Luka that she wanted to leave Peak Entertainment.

She had done that with the aim of attracting Luka's attention. She knew that Luka would try persuading her to change her mind and stay.

And just as she had expected, her plan worked perfectly.

Luka was really surprised to hear that Purple wanted to leave Peak Entertainment. He wasn't around at the time she told him, so he told her to wait for him to come back so that they could talk.

Purple was more than happy to see her plan going just as she wanted.

In preparation of their meeting today, Purple got a facial and got her nails done. She wanted to look perfect and younger in Luka's eyes.

But the night before, her hopes came crashing down when she saw the news. Chelsea had spent the night at Luka's place!!

Purple clenched her fists as she thought about it.

The only thing that kept her sane was the deal she had with Diane.

Diane had asked her to write a similar play to Chelsea's The Crown. That way, her play could be aired at the same time as Chelsea's and they could compete.

Diane had even gone as far as getting Chelsea's original script for Purple to copy, but she had refused to do it.

Purple's blockbuster played by Luka was a play that showed woman power. Purple believed that she was good at writing those types of scripts and could certainly write something better than Chelsea's own script.

So instead, she insisted on writing the script on her own, which Diane finally agreed to. But Diane was

clear on the result she wanted. She said that if the audience rating of the script was not as good as that of Chelsea's, then Purple would have to pay some money.

Now that she thought about it, Purple realized that it was actually a bet. Mia had advised her not to get into it, but of course, Purple had made up her mind, and she wasn't about to change it.

Over the years, the only property she could call her own, was the villa she lived in, and she had stupidly pledged the house over this bet because she was certain of winning.

After a while, Purple's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door opening and footsteps coming her way.

She looked up only to see Luka come in with a smile on his face. She had expected this meeting to be a pleasant one, but she couldn't help but think that he was in such a good mood because he had spent the night with Chelsea.

She was jealous, and she wasn't sure she wanted to hide it. Naturally, Luka noticed that she was acting strangely, but he pretended not to notice anything.

He finally got to her and sat opposite her. He didn't bother with any chit-chat and went straight to the point. "Purple, as your friend and partner for so many years already, I have to be honest with you. Diane's company is not your best choice."

Luka had always known that Purple had a crush on him, but he pretended to be ignorant, mainly because he didn't want them to feel embarrassed when they met.

Purple pursed her lips and stayed silent for a while. After she had successfully calmed down, she

plucked up some courage and looked at Luka.

"Mr. Pierce, who am I to you to make you dissuade me from joining Diane's company?"

Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife’s Heart Chapter 247

By asking the question, Purple was indirectly compelling Luka to reveal his feelings for her.

Luka concealed his dislike by lowering his head.

He didn't like Purple at all.

As a handsome idol, he desired his girlfriend to be a gorgeous lady. Purple was too ordinary to be attractive to him. Apart from that, throughout the years, he also got to know Purple's personality.

He would never love such a woman.

Luka had hoped that Purple should have an accurate self-perception, but now it seemed that she was going to embarrass herself.

Considering her assistance in his career, he decided not to make her look bad. "As your boss and your former partner, I genuinely wish you a better development after leaving Peak Entertainment."

Purple stood up and said to Luka with red eyes, "I may be the only one who knows your girlfriend's name is Chelsea. Why do you choose her as your girlfriend? Am I inferior to her? As a screenwriter, I have well-known work, but what about Chelsea? She has no representative work and no achievement! She only knows how to seduce men using her attractive face!"

Purple spoke without reasoning as she was out of control.

Luka's face suddenly became angry.

He could accept that Purple had questioned and denied him, but not that she had slandered Chelsea.

With a snap, Luka's pen was crushed in his hand.

Purple gazed at him with amazement.

Luka said in a low voice, "Purple, if you really want to know the answer, I can only tell you that you are inferior to her in every way."

Luka was a friendly man. Rarely did he lose his temper with Purple and the staff around him.

But now his words were icy, and he didn't even try to save Purple's face.

Purple was ashamed.

She broke into tears due to her extreme anger. She grabbed the phone hard and said angrily, "Luka, I'll make you regret what you said today!"

After uttering these harsh remarks, Purple fled the conference room and left Peak Entertainment with Mia.

Luka sat there with a deadpan expression, considering Purple's behavior to be very absurd.

After bidding Luka farewell at the community's entrance, Chelsea walked home.

She was astonished to find Edmund standing in front of the door when she arrived.

Edmund said sarcastically, "I thought you forgot where your home is. I heard Arya cry through the door!"

Chelsea hurriedly took out the key and unlocked the door.

Nonetheless, after opening the door, Chelsea recognized she had nothing to worry about.

Arya did not leave the sofa, much less scream.

"I didn't expect Mr. Nelson to be so composed when you were lying," Chelsea said, staring at Edmund.

Edmund insisted on his own statements despite Chelsea's sarcasm, "I did just hear a cat meowing."

She disregarded his statement and asked, "Why are you here?"

Chelsea could observe Edmund's exhaustion in his eyes if she looked attentively.

He didn't get enough sleep the night before.

Despite Luka's commitment to take no action on Chelsea, Edmund became restless when he thought she was with Luka.

However, Chelsea rarely observed Edmund while they conversed, much less did she gaze at him intently. Thus, she was oblivious to the fact that Edmund slept poorly.

As opposed to this, she slept well.

Hearing this, Edmund said with a strange look, "I'm here to visit Arya."

"Alright," said Chelsea.

She then turned around and proceeded to the study. On the way back home, she speculated a brilliant idea for a narrative and was compelled to record it immediately.

Edmund dragged her into his arms.

Chelsea was irritated and embarrassed when she smelled a familiar odor on his body.

She shoved him firmly and said indignantly, "What are you doing?"

Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife’s Heart Chapter 248

Edmund extended his long arms and held Chelsea firmly.

He bent his head to Chelsea's ear and murmured, "I am in fact here to see you. I miss you."

After a night of anguish, Edmund felt that if he couldn't see Chelsea today, he would be unable to work the entire day.

Edmund had been blacklisted by Chelsea, therefore he was required to come to Chelsea's residence and wait.

Chelsea did not anticipate Edmund to be so affectionate.

This was beyond her wildest imagination.

She raised her palm to Edmund's forehead and inquired, "Do you have a fever, too?"

Edmund turned his face aside in order to avoid Chelsea's contact.

Edmund truly expressed that he missed Chelsea, but Chelsea thought he was ill.

Edmund said with annoyance, "I'm not as frail as Luka, so how could I possibly have a fever?"

Edmund was absurd from Chelsea's perspective and she pushed him away. "You are constantly hospitalized for stomach illness?"

If Chelsea's memory served her well, Edmund had visited the hospital only a few days before.

Edmund furrowed his eyebrows and misunderstood Chelsea's statement. "So you recall that I have a stomach problem. You are so concerned about me."

"No." Without a doubt, Chelsea refused and explained sincerely, "I just believe that occasionally you become ill. Why do you make fun of others in such a manner? Moreover, Luka has been really exhausted lately. It is natural for him to feel ill."

Chelsea was looking out for Luka. Edmund instantly felt disturbed.

Edmund sat down on the sofa, covered his stomach with his palm, and stated, "You made me angry and gave me a stomachache."

Chelsea scoffed.

What did Edmund mean when he stated that she made him so upset that he experienced a stomachache?

Chelsea, standing still said without expression, "You should get to the hospital as quickly as possible. Do you require me to contact Chris or call 911?"

She retrieved her phone while speaking.

Edmund inhaled deeply and stated, "I haven't had breakfast yet, but I'll be OK if I do."

Edmund never imagined he would become so cheeky one day.

Before Chelsea, he used to be so haughty and dominant, but now he was so modest and shameful.

"Then please proceed downstairs and turn left to find a brunch restaurant." Chelsea was aware that the purpose Edmund stayed was because he needed her to cook for him.

In his dreams!

Chelsea was no longer the idiotic lady who was concerned for Edmund's well-being with all her heart.

Nevertheless, Chelsea underestimated Edmund's impudence. Edmund added, "I gave you Arya, but you have not invited me to supper as a token of your appreciation."

Gritting her teeth, Chelsea stared and said angrily to Edmund on the sofa, "I'll pay you back for sending me Arya."

With a fortunate grin on his face, Edmund gladly acknowledged, "Ok."

Anyhow, Edmund would provide further chances for Chelsea to remain in his debt.

Edmund reminded Chelsea, "Don't forget to cook me a cup of coffee," as she headed into the kitchen.

Chelsea scoffed before entering the kitchen.

Edmund was presented with a cup of coffee and a sandwich after a while.

Edmund grinned lightly and was really delighted.

He felt warm and content.

Edmund was unaccustomed to it when they just separated one year ago.

Edmund speculated that he missed Chelsea's cooking the most. Afterward, he went to upscale restaurants for breakfast daily and ordered a variety of pricey dishes. Nevertheless, he still felt sad.

At that moment, he realized he missed the person who prepared his breakfast.

Even though it was only a basic bowl of noodles, he was pleased and content since Chelsea prepared it.

"I appreciate it," Edmund stated with a complex expression on his face.

"You're welcome," Chelsea stated impassively, "just remember what you promised me."

Chelsea no longer desired to hear Edmund ask her to prepare meals for him.

If Edmund insisted that she cook for him, she would ask him to pay. She would also make sure the price was intimidating to the extent that although Edmund was wealthy, he would feel awful.

"Why does coffee have a slightly distinct flavor?" Edmund did not dare to remark that it tasted awful.

"Obviously it tastes horrible since I didn't make it wholeheartedly," Chelsea replied.

Edmund was at a loss for words.

If he had known such a response, he would not have asked.

"Kindly depart after dining. I have work to do." After uttering those words, Chelsea immediately entered the study and locked the door.

Today's coffee that she brewed for Edmund was bad, so it must have a distinct flavor.

Chelsea didn't think much of Edmund, and that was why she did it.

Edmund stared at the locked door and then at the coffee.

Even though the coffee was terrible, Chelsea prepared it. Edmund sipped it with elegance.

Edmund had intended to depart after eating, but after a moment of reflection, he proceeded to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Luka was skilled in the kitchen, so Edmund could not display inferiority.

However, cooking was a tough task for him, a kitchen newbie. He should begin with the most basic task first, such as cleaning dishes.

Edmund had never before performed such a task. The coffee cup slid and dropped to the ground as he washed it.

Even Chelsea in the study was startled by the shattering sound.

Chelsea hurriedly exited and saw Edmund glaring at the shattered glass on the floor.

Chelsea's face became darker.

She collected items as a pastime, and they were all her treasures. The coffee cup was acquired while Chelsea was shopping overseas, and she brought it back with her.

It had now been smashed!

Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife’s Heart Chapter 249

Edmund apologized hastily, "I'm sorry, I wanted to clean the dishes, but my hands were too slippery, so I smashed the cup..."

"Edmund, are you incapable of doing anything properly?" Chelsea scolded furiously and then turned to locate a broom to clean up the mess.

Edmund stood motionless and inhaled deeply to calm himself.

Chelsea was implying there was nothing he couldn't screw up.

Nobody had ever had the courage to say that to him!

Career-wise, the Nelson Group was at least twice as powerful as it had been previously under his leadership, and there was no need to rely on Philip.

It was for this reason that Edmund never took Philip seriously the entire time.

However, in some aspect, he was a failure.

Edmund moaned inwardly as he stared at Chelsea, who reappeared in front of him with a broom. His marriage did not work out.

He used to disregard his woman and they ended up in a divorce.

Because of this, he could only take his own medicine when Chelsea scolded him.

Chelsea placed the shreds in the garbage can.

Edmund held her arm and earnestly assured her, "I'll buy you the most expensive coffee mug in the world if you so choose."

Regardless of the cost, he would purchase it for her.

Chelsea shook off his hand and said, "I purchased this item abroad. Only one existed! It's special!"

Did Edmund truly believe that money could solve all of his problems?

Chelsea reflected on this and said, "The cup is smashed and you can never regain what you've lost. Ignore it."

Chelsea was trying to reassure herself.

But according to Edmund, Chelsea's words were about their marriage, and every word terribly wounded his heart.

He couldn't get her back now that he'd lost her.

"Mr. Nelson, could you kindly go immediately after you've finished your breakfast?" Chelsea was averse to having Edmund hang around.

Edmund still wanted to speak, but after seeing her unpleasant expression, he departed in silence.

When Chelsea heard the door close, she squatted, looked at the garbage can, and moaned softly.

She instantly recalled that Edmund had just said that he was going to clean the dishes.

How could a man who had always lived large now do menial tasks like washing dishes?

He ought not to clean them. It was very destructive.

Chelsea vowed she would never again host Edmund for dinner.

Downstairs.

Edmund reflected in the car before giving Zuri a call.

Except for when she had to wake up early for work, Zuri was always asleep at this hour.

So naturally, her first words after picking up the phone were, "Who is it? Why are you contacting me at such an early hour?"

Edmund calmly said, "I'm Edmund."

"Edmund?" Zuri muttered and abruptly regained consciousness. "You bastard, did you oppress Chelsea once more?"

Edmund became angry.

However, when he thought he had called her for assistance, he repressed his feelings. "I smashed a cup belonging to Chelsea. Do you have photographs of that cup?"

Zuri began gloating, "Edmund, you're done! Chelsea's greatest passion is collecting dinnerware, and she treats each piece as though it were a priceless heirloom. And you truly shattered her cup, didn't you? You're definitely on her blacklist now!"

Edmund's complexion became progressively darker. How could he eat at Chelsea's place again?

"Almost all of her possessions are one-of-a-kind. One like it just does not exist for sale." Zuri politely reminded and provided him with tips, "Even if you acquire the identical one, it won't be the one she previously owned. In the same manner as love, it cannot be restored to its previous state."

She exhaled heavily at the conclusion of her statement, which was like a knife to Edmund's heart.

Edmund clutched his phone hard and said, "Since it won't be the treasured one, I can get a new one and make her like it."

With his new persona, Edmund might potentially win Chelsea's heart.

Zuri did not anticipate Edmund's obstinacy.

However, she did not consider that a new beginning was possible for Chelsea and Edmund.

She spoke truthfully. "I'm not trying to annoy you, Mr. Nelson. When Chelsea required your affection, you just offered her disappointment. She is now concentrating on her profession, but you persist in showing your affection for her. Do you think it is acceptable?"

Zuri spoke about the existing scenario between Chelsea and Edmund.

In a commanding tone, Edmund declared, "I can ensure her success in both her profession and romantic life."

Zuri was completely speechless.

To her knowledge, Edmund had never been so brazen before.

She mocked the fact that he had missed Chelsea. How could he be so convinced that Chelsea's career would flourish while she was with him?

Zuri could not find the right words to say.

Then she inquired, "Are you genuine?"

"Certainly." Edmund responded in earnest.

Zuri went on to say, "Since you're so interested, describe the shattered cup to me. Let me see if I can locate the images for you."

Edmund described, "A sophisticated blue and gold design."

Zuri said, "I see. I am at a loss for words regarding your 'good luck'. She brought it back with her from abroad. I promise to give you the pictures as soon as I can. Best of luck!"

After that, she disconnected the call.

Soon after, Edmund had the photo in his possession. Clearly a screenshot from Chelsea's Instagram.

Edmund was unable to view Chelsea's Instagram since she had banned him.

Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife’s Heart Chapter 250

When he had done all he could with Purple, Luka took his cat and went back to his hometown the next day.

At the airport, when reporters spotted him, they rushed to him in hope of getting anything out of him.

"Mr. Pierce, why did you come with your cat this time instead of leaving it with your girlfriend as usual?"

Luka stopped and answered with a smile, "She has too much work to do, and I don't want to stress her."

When Edmund saw this interview, he frowned and then threw his phone aside in anger.

When his anger faded, he looked at the bright side of things. At least now, he wouldn't have to worry about what Chelsea and Luka were doing together all day long.

Once again, he was having dinner with Yusuf. Chris didn't join them because he had work to do that night.

When they were seated, Yusuf looked at Edmund and complained, "Stop asking me out to dinner, please. If you have so much time on your hands, then just ask Chelsea out! After all, that's what you really want to do."

Edmund rolled his eyes and ignored him.

If it was that easy to make an appointment with Chelsea, then he would never have to make Yusuf spend the night with him to kill time.

Yusuf shook his head and then added provocatively, "Oh right, that's not possible. My bad, Chelsea went to Norrmalm. So even if you wanted to invite her, you can't."

Edmund blinked several times in shock and disbelief. "She went to Norrmalm?"

"Yup! She entrusted the cat you gave her to Zuri. That's how I found out. When I asked her why, she told me that she was going to Norrmalm."

Edmund was going through so many emotions that he wasn't even able to string a couple of words together. He was shocked, annoyed and frustrated at the same time.

He was also very sad. This was proof that Yusuf was more important to Chelsea than he was.

"Oh, and you remember the cup you told me to inquire about, right? Well, you can't get it now, but you can ask someone to make the same one like the one in the picture. Do you want to give it to Chelsea?"

Still looking sad and disappointed, Edmund answered, "Yes. I broke her cup."

Yusuf looked at him in astonishment and then threw his hands up in frustration. He didn't know if he had to feel bad for his friend or mock him at the moment. "You... The truth is I don't even know what to do. I have never seen anyone who found it so difficult to chase a woman like you. What sort of tactic is that?"

Edmund rubbed his temples and sighed dejectedly. His mind was moving so fast at the moment. He never expected so many challenges when he tried to get Chelsea back.

He once thought she still loved him very much. So when he went down this road, he was very sure that she would come back to him once she saw that he was into her.

He had spent so much time trying to show her how much he loved her, but she did not pay him any mind. As a matter of fact, she blacklisted him.

That was definitely not the type of reaction he had been hoping for. Now, he even had to ask other people before knowing where she was.

"But you know what? It's not bad, so don't beat yourself up. This will just help you to cherish her more in the future," Yusuf said in a soft tone when Edmund didn't say anything.

It was as though Edmund wasn't even listening to him. As if he just thought of something, Edmund quickly picked up his phone, called Leo and ordered him to buy him a ticket for Norrmalm.

Yusuf shook his head in disbelief and asked, "What on earth do you think you are doing?"

Edmund frowned and avoided Yusuf's gaze. "Roy said he wanted to be her godfather. I'm sure she went there to meet him.

Roy has only met her once. Isn't it strange that he wants to be her godfather?"

Yusuf knitted his eyebrows and asked, "Are you saying Roy wants to be her sugar daddy? That's not possible! Roy has a good reputation that has never been stained in all these years. Besides, his family will never let such a thing happen, right?"

The Ellis family was a very powerful one, and no one had ever succeeded in dragging its name down

the drain.

Edmund turned up his nose and said, "The world is full of crooks, Yusuf, and Chelsea is just too innocent. I have to go there and make sure nothing happens to her."

Yusuf thought he was making some sense, but he still wasn't convinced. So, he said, "Just be careful, and make sure you don't offend Roy."

Yusuf knew that Edmund regarded any man that came close to Chelsea as a rival.

If Roy really just wanted Chelsea to be his goddaughter and Edmund accidentally offended him, then he would be in big trouble.

If that happened, then he would only succeed in making it harder for him to get back together with Chelsea. After all, the Ellis family was behind her now. So, she was no longer alone.

They chatted for a short while after that, before Edmund stood up and left.

Chelsea arrived Norrmalm in the afternoon and Roy had sent someone to pick her up.

She had booked a room at a hotel, but Roy insisted that she stay in the hotel he had already booked for her.

She couldn't refuse his offer, so she gave in.

In the evening, Roy went and picked her up for dinner.

During dinner, Chelsea asked, "I was thinking of going to the hospital tomorrow morning and visiting Mrs. Ellis. Is that okay?"

Roy's wife was Kelli Fuller. The Fuller family was once a well-known family. However, they had become almost inexistent over the years. But, that did not affect the relationship between Roy and Kelli.

Roy smiled after hearing this. "Sure. I already have everything arranged. Kelli will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow morning. We can pick her up together and then attend the family party in the evening."

Afraid that Chelsea wouldn't be very comfortable with the family party, Roy glanced at her and said, "Don't worry, I already informed my family about your presence."

"Thank you," Chelsea answered with a smile, truly grateful.

"We are a family from now on, Chelsea. You don't need to thank me."

After dinner, Roy drove her around the city and showed her places. "You know, you can come and live here in Norrmalm sometime in the future. I know you grew up in Vertoak and you have deep roots there. I'm just saying, okay? Just think about it. After all, it's your choice."

Chelsea smiled faintly and nodded.

Roy's consideration really warmed her heart. It made her look forward to once again having the warmth of a family.

At eleven o'clock, Chelsea returned to her hotel feeling fulfilled.

As soon as she got out of the car and saw the man standing in front of the hotel, her eyes went wide in shock and she stammered for a while before finally saying, "What are you doing here?"
