Mr. Nelsonn Winning His Ex-wife’s Heart

Chapter 17

Chapter: 17 Yusuf’s jaw dropped at the sight of this.

What the hell was wrong with Edmund? He seemed to be off his rocker. Chelsea was his ex-wife now. Her words shouldn't get to him.

He never treated her right, anyway. Yusuf took a deep breath and tried to calm his friend down. He patted him on the shoulder.

“Don't let what she said get to you. The way | see it, this is for the best. Since she’s pretending not to know you, it means she would never pester you again. Just chill.”

Edmund slapped Yusuf’s hand away. He lit another cigarette and took a puff. With a sneer, he inquired, “How are you so sure that she won't pester me anymore?”

“What do you mean?” Yusuf asked in confusion. Edmund squinted his eyes and said slowly, “I think she’s playing hard to get.”NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Yusuf opened his mouth to say something. But he decided against it. He just stared at him. As far as he was concerned, Edmund was getting himself worked up over nothing.

He also felt that Edmund was wrong. Chelsea wasn’t playing hard to get. She was clearly trying to avoid him at all costs.

As a playboy, Yusuf knew exactly when a woman wanted nothing to do with aman. And that was exactly what he discerned from Chelsea’s behavior. But Edmund clearly couldn't see that.

Not wanting to provoke Edmund any further, Yusuf kept his opinion to himself. He Knew that his friend’s ego would be battered more than it already was if he shared his assumption.

Women were often drunk in love. They could do just about anything to please the man that they loved.

But once that love was no longer there, they could become so heartless and cruel.

ALL of a sudden, Edmund’s phone rang. The call was from his mother, Alena Morgan.

A frown appeared on his face as he stared at the caller ID. His mother had been on him about getting married to Diane.

“Where are you? Didn’t | ask you to bring Diane home for dinner tonight?” Alena asked unhappily as soon as Edmund answered the call.

“Sorry, it skipped my mind,” he replied indifferently.

This response annoyed Alena even more. She queried furiously, “Why did it skip your mind? What else were you thinking about? Diane is a good girl. What's stopping you from getting married to her as soon as possible? Both of you aren't getting any younger. If that shameless Chelsea hadn’t come along to spoil your relationship back then, you would have had a child with Diane now. Stop stalling now that she’s out of the way!”

When Alena suddenly mentioned Chelsea’s name and spoke ill of her, Edmund felt a Little uncomfortable.

“Mom, | have something urgent to do. Talk to you later. Bye!” Edmund knew that his mother would go on and on about the marriage topic, so he made up an excuse.

After Edmund hung up the phone, Yusuf leaned towards him and suggested lazily, “Friendly advice, you should get married to Diane since you think Chelsea will begin to pester you. Your marriage will see to it that Chelsea keeps her distance and your mother will also stop bothering you. What do you think?”

The underlying tease in Yusuf’s words didn’t go unnoticed by Edmund. He shot him a searing glare and shook his head. His car arrived at this time, so he got in and left.

Yusuf stared at the car until it disappeared. He then shrugged and left in his car.
