Chapter 262
"What? Your neighbor?" Chelsea was confused.
She couldn't figure out what Edmund was talking about.
Looking very serious, Edmund stretched out his hand and said, "Hi, Miss Williams. I'm Edmund, living in unit 1 of this 28th building."
Chelsea had been trying to keep calm, but she just couldn't stop herself from staring at him in disbelief.
Edmund truly lived in the house next to her!
Chelsea was still in shock. This couldn't be possible!
While Chelsea was in all sorts of states, Edmund was very satisfied with her reaction.
She had always wanted to make a clean break with him and never wanted to see him again. But now that the house Roy had found for her was just next to Edmund's, then she wouldn't be able to get the closure she needed.
Edmund was trying really hard not to laugh in her face. "Nice to meet you," he continued softly.
Earlier today, when Edmund heard from Chelsea that she lived in building 28th, he checked with the management and found out that she had moved in this afternoon. After that, he made the decision to move in immediately.
Chelsea finally left her thoughts and looked at Edmund suspiciously. "Is this why you asked for my new
address?"
Edmund shook his head and said, "These houses all belong to the Nelson Group. I had kept one, but I hadn't planned on using it before now. This has to be fate."
Chelsea scoffed and then closed her door harshly in his face.
Fate? This was a tragedy!
She was ecstatic when she moved into this house and she loved it. But after hearing that Edmund was now her neighbor, she had lost every excitement she had.
If only she had known about this little fact earlier, she would have never moved in.
It used to take Edmund at least half an hour to get to her previous residence. But now, all it would take for them to see each other was simply stepping out of the house.
The more Chelsea thought about it, the angrier and more restless she became.
As if it wasn't enough, she received a message from Edmund. "We should have dinner together tonight to celebrate this, don't you think?" "What? Your neighbor?" Chelsea was confused.
She couldn't figure out what Edmund was talking about.
Chelsea gritted her teeth and prayed for patience. "Sorry, but I won't be available," she typed and
pressed send.
All she truly wanted now was to move out.
Chelsea lay back in her bed and grunted out in frustration. Then she turned on her phone and called Zuri to tell her what was happening.
"Oh my God! That is definitely fate!" Zuri screamed after laughing for long seconds. When her laughter finally died down, Zuri added, "Chelsea, this means you have to say yes to Edmund. This didn't happen for nothing. Mr. Ellis and his wife have been looking for a house for you for so long. And now that they finally find one, it is close to Edmund's house! Girl, this is fate!"
Feeling a headache coming on, Chelsea closed her eyes and said, "What are you talking about? He may be my neighbor, but it changes nothing between us!"
As soon as Chelsea said this, she heard something like her name being called from the balcony.
With a raised eyebrow, she curiously walked to the balcony only to see Edmund standing there.
She almost passed out when she saw that their balconies were separated by only a few meters. Could things get any worse than it already was?
"What?" Chelsea spat out, already tired.
Edmund held the railing of the balcony and said with a smile, "Don't be so hostile. I just wanted to see if you could hear me. This way, we won't have to use phones in the future. We can just come here and talk if we need to."
He was no longer scared of Chelsea blacklisting him because he could see her whenever he wanted now.
"Sometimes I wonder if you're thinking straight!" Chelsea shook her head and then turned around and walked back to her room.
Zuri couldn't stop laughing after hearing their conversation. "Edmund is so shameless! I wish I could mock him to his face. This is hilarious!"
"Please, don't try it. You know he is a big shot in the film and television industry. You don't want to offend him."
Zuri sighed and said, "I guess you're right. I'd better not offend rich and powerful men like him."
They chatted some more after that before hanging up. When something suddenly crossed Chelsea's mind, she dialled Edmund's number and called.
Chelseo gritted her teeth ond proyed for potience. "Sorry, but I won't be ovoiloble," she typed ond pressed send.
All she truly wonted now wos to move out.
Chelseo loy bock in her bed ond grunted out in frustrotion. Then she turned on her phone ond colled Zuri to tell her whot wos hoppening.
"Oh my God! Thot is definitely fote!" Zuri screomed ofter loughing for long seconds. When her loughter
finolly died down, Zuri odded, "Chelseo, this meons you hove to soy yes to Edmund. This didn't hoppen for nothing. Mr. Ellis ond his wife hove been looking for o house for you for so long. And now thot they finolly find one, it is close to Edmund's house! Girl, this is fote!"
Feeling o heodoche coming on, Chelseo closed her eyes ond soid, "Whot ore you tolking obout? He moy be my neighbor, but it chonges nothing between us!"
As soon os Chelseo soid this, she heord something like her nome being colled from the bolcony.
With o roised eyebrow, she curiously wolked to the bolcony only to see Edmund stonding there.
She olmost possed out when she sow thot their bolconies were seporoted by only o few meters. Could things get ony worse thon it olreody wos?
"Whot?" Chelseo spot out, olreody tired.
Edmund held the roiling of the bolcony ond soid with o smile, "Don't be so hostile. I just wonted to see if you could heor me. This woy, we won't hove to use phones in the future. We con just come here ond tolk if we need to."
He wos no longer scored of Chelseo blocklisting him becouse he could see her whenever he wonted now.
"Sometimes I wonder if you're thinking stroight!" Chelseo shook her heod ond then turned oround ond wolked bock to her room.
Zuri couldn't stop loughing ofter heoring their conversotion. "Edmund is so shomeless! I wish I could mock him to his foce. This is hilorious!"
"Pleose, don't try it. You know he is o big shot in the film ond television industry. You don't wont to offend him."
Zuri sighed ond soid, "I guess you're right. I'd better not offend rich ond powerful men like him."
They chotted some more ofter thot before honging up. When something suddenly crossed Chelseo's mind, she diolled Edmund's number ond colled. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Edmund just refused her call. He then sent her a message. "We are neighbors now. Why call when you can just come over to my house and say what you want to?"
Chelsea had forgotten about her anger for a moment, but he had successfully reminded her of it again.
She didn't want to please him in any way. But since she urgently needed to talk to him, she went to his house.
Edmund opened the door of his house with only a towel tied around his waist. Embarrassed and annoyed at the same time, she quickly looked away.
This man was even more shameless than she had thought.
With an innocent shrug, he said, "Don't mind my attire. I was about to take a shower."
"Whatever. I just want you to keep this a secret from Mr. Ellis for a while. He can't know that we are
neighbors."
She had this nagging feeling that told her that Edmund would deliberately tell Roy if only to piss him off.
If Roy knew that the house he had finally chosen for her was next to Edmund's, he wouldn't be happy.
After staying silent for a while, Edmund said, "Come on, Chelsea! Is that how you ask for help?"
"Huh?" Chelsea looked at him in confusion and then instantly looked away when her gaze met with his strong chest muscles.
"Well, you just glanced shortly at me. I'm not even sure you actually looked at me. How am I supposed to take you seriously?"
Chelsea looked at him in disbelief. This man had the gift of getting on her nerves.
He wasn't properly dressed. How did he expect her to look at him?
He was indirectly telling Chelsea to look at his exposed body.
Chelsea sighed and then crossed her arms and observed Edmund. "Well, Mr. Nelson. You look like you're keeping fit. Do you have eight pack abs? Let me help you count, shall I?"
With that, Chelsea approached Edmund and poked his abdominal muscles one by one.
Edmund tried to keep his face natural, but he found it too hard with Chelsea's hand on him.
