Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 260

"It's well beyond bedtime. Get some sleep." Chelsea did not reply to Edmund. She stood up and was about to depart.

Edmund's expression soured. "It is not safe for you to go back alone at this hour," he said to her after stopping her. "I'll have my driver return you."

Chelsea did not object.

As they waited for the driver, Edmund said, "Why do you have such a great deal of faith in Roy? Don't you have any fear that he will do you harm?"

Edmund remained dissatisfied with Roy's acceptance of Chelsea as his goddaughter. He was unable to determine Roy's motivation.

Chelsea inquired, "What is he able to take from me?"

Edmund stated without doubt, "Your youthful and attractive body."

Chelsea was frustrated. "Why can't you pull your mind out of the gutter?"

Edmund snorted, "Men know what men are most likely to think. A man of Roy's age will crave attractive young women like you."

Chelsea had a small grin. "Will you also crave young and attractive women when you age?"

Edmund hastily stated, "I am unique among them."

"You are truly different from them in that you lack a heart," Chelsea interrupted.

Edmund was unable to breathe due to his anger.

He previously lacked compassion for Chelsea, but he had now changed. It seemed Chelsea could not perceive it.

Even before Edmund could explain himself, his driver showed up.

Chelsea rose to her feet, saying softly, "Have a wonderful rest."

After making this statement, she left without concern for Edmund's reaction. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

The early morning of the second day, Chelsea attended a meeting at the Nelson Group. Zuri, Keith, and the actress he had selected were also present. "It's well beyond bedtime. Get some sleep." Chelsea did not reply to Edmund. She stood up and was about to depart.

The name of the actress was Vickie. She appeared amusing and lively. However, after watching Vickie's audition tape, Chelsea changed her mind. In that video, Vickie appeared to be innocent, but she was actually plotting behind the scenes.

Such a striking difference was the strongest indicator of an actor's acting ability, thus Chelsea had no objections about Vickie playing the female supporting part.

Diane had already tried out for this role, but Luka turned her down after the audition.

When Edmund arrived, a staff member saw his swollen hand and said, "Mr. Nelson, what is wrong with your hand?"

Edmund stared at Chelsea as she whispered to Zuri and responded indifferently, "Cat scratched."

The worker joked, "A cat is truly a woman?"

The employee misinterpreted Edmund since it was common for men to refer to an unruly lady as a "naughty cat."

Edmund glimpsed at Chelsea and then responded, "No."

Instead of scratching him, Chelsea simply ignored him.

Hearing Edmund's statement, Zuri asked Chelsea, "Did your cat scratch Edmund?"

Chelsea confessed tiredly, "Yes. Late last night, he received an injection at the hospital."

Zuri giggled with her hands covering her lips. "What is Edmund's problem? Even his pet doesn't even like him."

Zuri had delighted in taunting Edmund, and her laugh was so loud at this moment. Chelsea quickly suggested that she stop.

"I've been caring for Arya for days, and she hasn't scratched me once, proving that Edmund is

insufficiently compassionate." Zuri kept on gloating.

Chelsea said, "Who can say! Yesterday evening, he informed me he wanted to see Arya."

Zuri asked, "Don't you realize? He actually traveled there to visit you."

The nome of the octress wos Vickie. She oppeored omusing ond lively. However, ofter wotching Vickie's oudition tope, Chelseo chonged her mind. In thot video, Vickie oppeored to be innocent, but she wos octuolly plotting behind the scenes.

Such o striking difference wos the strongest indicotor of on octor's octing obility, thus Chelseo hod no objections obout Vickie ploying the femole supporting port.

Dione hod olreody tried out for this role, but Luko turned her down ofter the oudition.

When Edmund orrived, o stoff member sow his swollen hond ond soid, "Mr. Nelson, whot is wrong with your hond?"

Edmund stored ot Chelseo os she whispered to Zuri ond responded indifferently, "Cot scrotched."

The worker joked, "A cot is truly o womon?"

The employee misinterpreted Edmund since it wos common for men to refer to on unruly lody os o "noughty cot."

Edmund glimpsed ot Chelseo ond then responded, "No."

Insteod of scrotching him, Chelseo simply ignored him.

Heoring Edmund's stotement, Zuri osked Chelseo, "Did your cot scrotch Edmund?"

Chelseo confessed tiredly, "Yes. Lote lost night, he received on injection ot the hospitol."

Zuri giggled with her honds covering her lips. "Whot is Edmund's problem? Even his pet doesn't even like him."

Zuri hod delighted in tounting Edmund, ond her lough wos so loud ot this moment. Chelseo quickly suggested thot she stop.

"I've been coring for Aryo for doys, ond she hosn't scrotched me once, proving thot Edmund is insufficiently compossionote." Zuri kept on glooting.

Chelseo soid, "Who con soy! Yesterdoy evening, he informed me he wonted to see Aryo."

Zuri osked, "Don't you reolize? He octuolly troveled there to visit you."

Chelsea shivered in terror.

Edmund, who was seated up front, made a scowling grimace when he noticed that Zuri's face was so close to Chelsea's.

Even if both Zuri and Chelsea were female and on friendly terms, they did not need to be that close.

Edmund turned to face Fay.

Fay understood just what Edmund was getting at. "Good morning, all. Please begin the meeting."

Zuri and Chelsea sat up straight upon hearing this, which caused Edmund's expression to instantly return to normal.

The meeting was around an hour long. Zuri grasped Chelsea's arm and exited the conference room afterward. "Later, you may use my vehicle. Let's travel to Blue Bay to visit your residence."

Edmund halted and turned to Chelsea with a grimace. "You own property in Blue Bay?"

Zuri spoke for Chelsea before Chelsea could respond. "Oh, Mr. Nelson, you're still in the dark. Mr. Ellis furnished Chelsea with a house in my neighborhood, Blue Bay."

Edmund's expression altered abruptly. "How dare you take the property Roy gave to you?"

Now, Edmund was more certain that Roy harbored ill will against Chelsea. How else could Roy be so kind to Chelsea out of the blue?

"Why can't I accept it?" Chelsea was aware of what Edmund was contemplating, so she asked in a chilly tone.

Then she proceeded forward while holding Zuri's hand.

Edmund inhaled deeply to settle his nerves. He thought an investigation into why Roy contacted Chelsea and treated her so kindly was necessary.

He followed Chelsea and asked in a casual manner, "Which building is your residence in?"
