Mr. Nelsonn Winning His Ex-wife’s Heart

Chapter 23

Chapter: 23 “Really?” Ethan asked curiously, leaning forward.

“Yes, she’s currently going out with a boy who looks nothing more than twenty years old,” Edmund answered in a faked indifferent tone.

He intentionally emphasized his last three words. His grandfather was an old-fashioned man, so he guessed that he wouldn’t support the massive age gap between Chelsea and her alleged boyfriend. He secretly hoped that Ethan would dissuade Chelsea from dating such a young boy

But to his dismay, Ethan clapped his hands excitedly and said, “Chelsea is such a smart woman. She made the right choice by dating someone younger than her. A young and energetic man is good. | can rest assured now.”

The fork in Edmund’s hand dropped to the plate. He was short of words. Ethan’s smile got even wider. “I know that Chelsea is a good girl. It is not surprising that many men like her. It’s such a pity that the first man she settled down with treated her like trash. Now that she’s single again, | believe the man who would cherish her will come along. Oh, I’m so happy!”

There was an obvious tone of mockery in Ethan’s words. Edmund immediately Lost his appetite.

He could only stare at his grandfather as he spoke about Chelsea and her love Life to no end. On his way back to the company after lunch, a call from Diane came through.

“Honey, where are you? Did you go to the company today?” Diane’s aggrieved voice came from the other end of the line. “No,” Edmund replied simply

Diane said sweetly, “| made some cupcakes at home this morning. | went to the company to give you a surprise, but you weren’t there. Where are you now?”

In recent times, Diane no longer bothered herself with acting. She took up baking and cooking as a hobby. She occasionally made different sweet treats for Edmund and took them to him at work. Sometimes, she invited him over to her house.

All these were what Chelsea used to do for Edmund in the past. Diane thought that he stayed married to Chelsea for that long only because she made him home-cooked meals. She copied everything that Chelsea did, down to making him a cup of coffee every morning.

Edmund had become so accustomed to Chelsea’s cooking during their marriage. He was now a picky eater. It was so bad that he didn’t like the coffee that was made by others, even by the most expensive café in the city. Chelsea’s cooking was second to none in his book.

Now that Diane said she made cupcakes for him, Edmund remembered how Chelsea had cooked for him when they were married. The thought made him a little irritable.novelbin

“Well, I'm not at the company at the moment. Grandpa asked me to have lunch with him, so | Left work temporarily,” he explained impatiently

Diane was so tone-deaf that she didn’t notice the impatience in his tone. She further inquired, “Why did Grandpa ask you to have Lunch with him?”

“I'm driving. Bye!” Edmund hung up the phone. He wasn’t in the mood to speak to her.

He had planned to go back to the company. But now that Diane had said that she went over there to see him, he decided against it. He made a sharp turn and drove straight to Yusuf's company.

Chelsea went to see her mentor, Eugene Lewis who was currently working on set. Zuri was also an actress for this particular film, so she decided to see her too.

Ascriptwriter’s input into the work determined greatly how successful they would turn out to be. It was a very hands-on job. Since Zuri introduced Chelsea to the film industry, Eugene had been teaching her many things. She had only written the outlines of the scripts for two years. Afterward, she wrote the scripts of separate scenes. They all turned out well, so she was given the opportunity to write scripts for units independently.

Writing scripts was what Chelsea used to do in her spare time when she wasn’t tending to Edmund.

The part-time job was a remote one, so she was still able to remain a dutiful wife to Edmund while spending some time on her hobby.

Back when Luka handed the new script to Chelsea, she wasn’t confident that she could do the job alone, so she asked Eugene to be the chief scriptwriter and she would be his assistant, as always.

But Luka and Eugene agreed that it was time for Chelsea to be an independent scriptwriter since she had been practicing for four years.
