Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 58

Edmund had been so consumed by his rage yesterday that he couldn't think straight. Now that he had calmed down, he began to see through Chelsea's lie. She had always loved him.

Yusuf also confirmed that her love was glaring for everyone to see at that time. Knowing how discerning his friend was, Edmund became convinced that Chelsea said that her love was fake just to tell him off last night.

Yusuf strode to the table and took a bite of the toast that Diane brought.

"Eww! This tastes awful! I hate to break it to you, Edmund. Your girlfriend is a terrible cook. She doesn't stand a chance if her cooking is compared to Chelsea's. How do you intend to survive? You might starve to death!" Yusuf's face was twisted in a frown. The next second, he grabbed a piece of tissue and spat out a mouthful in it.

During the time Edmund was married to Chelsea, Chris, Yusuf, and his other friends occasionally came over to his house to have dinner. They always ate to their fill because the meals were just so tasty. In Yusuf's opinion, Chelsea had the potential to be a food blogger. Her cooking was like nothing he had ever tasted.

The first bite from the toast made Yusuf realize why Edmund had left it untouched. He must have known how Diane's cooking was.

Yusuf sat at the edge of the bed and asked, "Hey, snap out of it. What's on your mind?"

Edmund had been out in space until his friend touched him. Instead of responding, he just turned to look at the laptop with mixed feelings in his heart.

"Are you going to ignore me now? Or did you call me over under the guise of discussing business because you didn't want to stay here with Diane? You sneaky bastard!" Yusuf exclaimed and gave him a playful punch.

Edmund held his punched arm and said impatiently, "Can't you see that I'm not feeling well? I'm in a bad mood now. I just want to be left alone."

Yusuf continued to tease him. "He-he! So, you admit that you are avoiding her? How do you intend to marry her since you are already tired of her?"

"Who says I am going to marry Diane?" Edmund fired with a frown.

Yusuf opened his arms dramatically. "Everyone! It's widespread news in Vertoak that you two are going to tie the knot soon. Don't tell me you had no idea about this. Have you been in a hole? Jeez! Diane even issued an official statement to the public. The news was reported by all the media organizations in this city."

Of course, Edmund knew that it was rumored that he would be getting married to Diane. But he never addressed the rumor, nor proposed marriage to Diane.

"Come on, dude. Since you don't want to marry Diane, why don't you man up and tell her?" Yusuf asked curiously.

"It's not as easy as you think!" Edmund spat, rolling his eyes.

"Yeah, you're right. Mr. Stevenson will be furious if he finds out that you don't want his daughter. He

might call for your head if care is not taken." Yusuf laughed hysterically.

Diane was from a rich and powerful family. Her father was the president of a well-known foreign bank and had a close business relationship with various companies home and abroad.

Edmund's mom, Alena was a power-hungry woman. Putting in mind the connections the Nelson family could get from the Stevensons, she favored Diane over Chelsea.

After all, what did Chelsea bring to them after the marriage? Absolutely nothing! Instead, they were the ones that supported her family.

Four years ago, the company managed by Chelsea's family was on the brink of bankruptcy because of the dereliction of duty of her father and brother. Her marriage to Edmund saw to it that her family received funding from the Nelson family for a long time.

Instead of working to regain the company's former glory, her father and brother spent money like water. They kept coming back to ask for more. This annoyed Alena so much.

She punished Chelsea for the sins of her family. Whenever the opportunity arose, she made sure to mention that the Williams family was living off the wealth of the Nelson family.

Turning his head to look out of the window, Edmund said confusedly, "I previously thought that Diane was the one for me. She's good and my family loves her..."

"Why then did you change your mind?" Yusuf asked curiously.

Without waiting for a response, he quipped, "Could it be that your feelings for her died because you

realized you couldn't live without Chelsea?"

"Who the hell can't leave without that woman?" Edmund blew a short fuse. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Yusuf raised his hands innocently and corrected himself. "I guess I was wrong. Honestly, I didn't mean to say that. You are an independent man, so you can definitely live without her."

"Anyway, why did you get cold feet about marrying Diane?" Yusuf threw out the question again after his friend calmed down a little.
