The bitterness in Chelsea’s heart was simmering up to the surface. But she took a deep breath to push it down. She said firmly, “I'm serious, Edmund. Let's get a divorce!”novelbin
Edmund's face darkened. He adjusted his position by leaning on the headboard of the bed. He squinted at her and asked, “Are you sure?” Chelsea pursed her Lips and stared back at him in silence.
“Chelsea, did you think this through at all? Have you suddenly forgotten that the company your father and brother have been running is on the verge of bankruptcy? If not for the timely intervention of my family, it would have been long gone. Do you have any idea how much I've invested in that company?” Edmund raised his voice.
His angry tone made Chelsea's heart skip a beat. Her body shook and her face flushed with shame.
As much as Chelsea hated to admit it, Edmund was right. Her father had sent her to his bed three years ago because the company was facing a serious crisis.
It wasn’t her intention to trick him into marrying her. She had tried to explain things to him in the past few years. However, Edmund didn’t give her a Listening ear. She was guilty in his eyes.
“| don’t give a damn about the company anymore. I’ve served you like a slave for three years just so you can continue to help them. If the company crashes now, they deserve it.” Chelsea put on an indifferent expression.
Astorm suddenly gathered in Edmund’s eyes. “Are you trying to tell me that this marriage was only a deal to you?”
“What else is it?” Tears welled up in Chelsea’s eyes. She patted her chest to prevent herself from breaking down. “There has never been love in this marriage of ours. You love someone else. You never Look at me except when you want to have sex with me. I’m just a pleasure tool to you. What else is this marriage if not a deal?”
“Okay. Fine!” Edmund gnashed his teeth in anger.
“Are you really willing to give up this comfortable life? | gave you everything a woman could ever need except Love. Is Love more important to you than survival?”
His contempt and ridicule made Chelsea’s blood boil. Indeed, he had taken care of all her expenses for the past few years. But that didn’t mean she couldn’t survive on her own. Biting back the insults she badly wanted to say, she flashed him a gentle smile and looked straight into his frightening eyes.
“Thank you for the reminder. But as you can see, I’m not disabled, nor am | stupid. | can take care of myself. No matter what | won't starve to death.”
The years she spent as a part of the Nelson family were hell. None of the family members Liked her except for Ethan
Chelsea was determined to get back on her feet after divorcing Edmund. After all, she had graduated from a top university before becoming a housewife.
Edmund sneered and rolled his eyes.
“Have it your way then. I’ll call the lawyer and tell him to prepare the divorce agreement. Let's sign it at half past eight tomorrow morning.”
Chelsea turned around to leave. Now that she and Edmund had both agreed on a divorce, she didn’t want to sleep on the same bed with him.
She had barely left the bedside when a strong hand dragged her back with force. Edmund got on top of her and pressed her slender body into the bed.
