Mr. Nelsonn Winning His Ex-wife’s Heart

Capítulo 189

It didn’t matter if she prepared it simply. He would eat it nonetheless. Edmund had swallowed hard at the thought of how delicious it would taste. He couldn't get it off his mind. And that was why he drove to her apartment quickly and knocked on the door incessantly.

Edmund had reasoned that Chelsea would definitely be at home since she was yet to turn in the script for the play. To his disappointment, she wasn’t at home.

His craving wasn’t satisfied, but he had to leave since she wasn’t here.

It would be embarrassing to tell her that he was craving her food now that they were divorced, so Edmund decided not to respond to her message. He wasn’t sure that she would have indulged him even if she was at home.

Chelsea waited for his response. When she didn’t get a message from him, she breathed a long sigh of relief.

Her instincts told her that he was going to request something. She didn’t know if she could fulfill whatever he had in mind, so she was relieved due to the lack of response.

While Chelsea, Zuri, and Fay had a good time that night, the Stevenson family’s household wasn’t peaceful. Diane had gone back to her parents’ house tonight to find out the outcome of her father’s meeting with Edmund.

She was down in the dumps as she waited for Philip. She kept gazing at the entrance door. Her mother, Flora Stevenson tried to get her in a better mood. “Come on, sweetheart. You need to eat. If you don’t, you might fall sick. Don’t you trust your father? He would handle this matter well. He would make sure Edmund marries you. You are the epitome of beauty and class. No woman in Vertoak comes close to you. Edmund can’t marry anyone else!”Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Diane continued to sulk. “Mom, you say that no woman comes close to me, but Edmund doesn’t think that. He likes Chelsea over me!”

Flora’s tone became firmer. “You have to take my word for it, dearie. Chelsea is in the past. You and Edmund have been together for a long time. Our family and his also have a good friendship. Why will he dump you for that nobody? Impossible!”

Despite all that her mother said, Diane was still not comforted. She got even more upset as she thought of how Edmund had been giving her the cold shoulder lately.

One of the biggest secrets that she kept from everyone, including her mother was that she and Edmund had never had sex.

No one suspected that their relationship was sexless. To the outsiders, they were a perfect couple because of the numerous gossip Diane had helped to spread after he spent the night with her the day he got married.

“Come on, have a bite of this delicious meat. Eat more.” Flora pushed a plate of steak that had been cut into small chunks in front of Diane and forced her to take a bite.

All of a sudden, the front door swung open. Both women turned to look in that direction. They thought Philip would spend a long time talking to Edmund over dinner. So, they were shocked that he was back this early.

Diane immediately had a bad feeling when she saw the unhappy and cold expression on her father’s face.

It was obvious that Philip hadn’t reached the desired agreement with Edmund. Her eyes instantly turned red. Tears streamed down her cheeks a second later.

Flora hurried to her husband and asked, “Honey, why are you back so early? How did the meeting go? Were you able to reach an agreement with Edmund?”

Philip arched his eyebrows and replied, “He said that he’s not suitable for Diane. He went on to say that being in love doesn’t equate to marriage. That guy is an ungrateful bastard. He wasted my daughter’s youthful years knowing full well that he wasn’t going to marry her!”

Fury coursed through Philip’s veins as he recalled all that Edmund said. He even shouted the last sentence.

His anger made him forget that his daughter was actually the one who refused to marry Edmund and broke up with him four years ago.

He also failed to remember that Edmund had never proposed marriage to her or said anything of that sort in the last year
