Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 203

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Alena's anger completely blinded her for a moment.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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