Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 92 Chelsea Is An Outsider

While Edmund was having dinner with Ethan, he received a call from Alena.

The moment he answered the phone, he heard a woman sobbing in the background. He could tell that it was Diane.

Alena said to him earnestly, "Edmund, I heard what happened between you and Diane. Diane already admitted that she was wrong, and Chelsea didn't get hurt. Why couldn't you still forgive her?"

Alena's words irritated Edmund. If she weren't his mother, he would have yelled at her in response.

But he answered her in an annoyed tone, "What if no one had stood up for Chelsea and beaten that assistant director for her? What if she'd been left with no choice but to obey that nasty pervert? Mom, there are lines that we simply don't cross."

Alena didn't expect that Edmund would be so conscientious, so his words choked her.

She then hurriedly replied, "Well, it's indeed Diane's fault. She has realized that now. She feels guilty and awful. She's crying so hard right now that she's having trouble breathing. And Diane is a girl, dear. How could you say such harsh words to her?"

Edmund scoffed. What harsh words had he said to her?

He just asked Diane to stop hyping their relationship. She was really good at exaggerating facts.

Diane wept even louder in the background, and her cries sounded like nails against a chalkboard to Edmund. Edmund frowned and held the phone away from his ear.

Ethan snorted derisively, showing his dislike for Edmund and Alena.

Alena sighed and said, "I'll make the decision today. It's all over now. You can have dinner with Diane another day so that you two can make up. You have been in love for so many years. You have divorced Chelsea. She is an outsider after all."

Alena said a lot, but Edmund didn't reply to her. He would never forgive Diane.

"Mom, I'm still having dinner with Grandpa. I'll talk to you later. Bye," Edmund muttered impatiently.

Hearing this, Alena said immediately, "Okay. I'll hang up then."

Alena and Ethan didn't get along well with each other because they had different opinions on Chelsea.

Alena didn't like Chelsea and even tried paying her and her family a sum of money in exchange for her staying clear of Edmund. On the other hand, Ethan thought that Chelsea was a good girl and that she was a perfect wife for Edmund.

After Chelsea and Edmund got married, Ethan always stood by Chelsea's side, which pissed off Alena.

Although Alena was dissatisfied with Ethan, she didn't dare to resist him because he was highly respected in Vertoak and had the final say in matters concerning the Nelson family. From NôvelDrama.Org.

So when Alena heard that Edmund was with Ethan, she immediately hung up the phone.

Ethan glared at Edmund with discontent. "You can't deal with your mother yourself, so you use me as a

scapegoat."

Edmund replied as if nothing had happened, "Doesn't that please you? It means that your high prestige deters even my mother's defiance. She's scared of provoking you."

Ethan snorted with disdain, begrudgingly admiring Edmund's comment.

Then, Ethan continued to blame Alena, "It's your mother's fault that Sonya has become the way she is. She's always too busy meddling in other people's affairs that she's failed to raise her own children well."

Edmund reminded him, "Grandpa, I'm also my mother's child."

The implication was that even though they were brought up by the same mother, Edmund was different from Sonya.

Ethan rolled his eyes and asked, "So you think you're better than your sister?"

Edmund was rendered speechless.
