Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 67

The damage would be more on Zuri's reputation because she was a popular actress, while Chelsea was just an upcoming scriptwriter. If the rumor wasn't shut down immediately, her standing in the film industry would be affected.

Zuri gritted her teeth and uttered angrily, "That bitch is getting on my nerves. She had better cover her tracks well. If I find out anything shady about her, I'll make her life a living hell!"

Once Zuri hung up the phone, Chelsea said apologetically, "I'm sorry that you are caught up in the storm because of me."

This didn't sound right to Zuri at all. She turned and scolded her. "I'm not caught up in anything because of you. We are not a couple. We are both victims of that bitch's scheme. Don't apologize to me or else I will be angry with you for real."

Gripping the steering wheel tightly, Zuri added, "Is Diane crazy? Isn't she going to marry Edmund soon? She has gotten what she wanted. Why the hell is she messing with us? Could it be possible that her wedding has been cancelled or something?"

Chelsea didn't know what to say. She was weighing all the possibilities in her head. It seemed to her that Diane didn't want her to work on the current project. Chelsea's involvement angered her.

"Gosh! I can't wait for her engagement to Edmund to be broken. I will light up colorful fireworks in the sky to celebrate!"

Chelsea remained mute, allowing her friend to vent her anger to the fullest.

It took Zuri a while to calm down. Afterward, she gave Chelsea a side hug and said sadly, "Bestie, if we are still unmarried at the age of forty, let's live together forever."

"Okay." Chelsea agreed readily.

Living without a man wasn't a big deal to her. Her failed marriage with Edmund had made her lose all hope of finding true love. She wasn't interested in dating, let alone getting married again.

Both friends silently hugged each other for a minute before Zuri broke the silence. "He has been abroad for so many years. Do you think he will come back this year?"

"Yes," Chelsea replied immediately. She knew who her friend was talking about. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

With a puppy dog look on her face, Zuri asked, "Do you think he still hates me? Or could he have forgotten all about me?"

The man Zuri loved was called Colin Smith. They used to be classmates in high school.

Although they were exact opposites of each other, they secretly dated in high school. Zuri was a study slacker. But Collin was a straight-A student.

Colin had gotten a golden opportunity to further his education abroad, but he intended to turn it down because he didn't want to leave Zuri behind. However, Zuri didn't want him to stop chasing his dreams because of her.

After she took the initiative to break up with him, the two of them were severely heartbroken. Colin resented her for breaking up with him. He left without sorting things out with her.

Chelsea knew that her friend still had feelings for Colin. She didn't know what to say, so she just patted her head lovingly.

Several minutes later, Zuri finally pulled up at Edmund's house. She dropped Chelsea off and went straight to the filming set.

It took Chelsea a while before she finally summoned the courage to input the password and enter the house.

What she saw when she entered the living room took her by surprise. Every single thing, down to the curtains was still the same as they were a year ago. They had been unchanged.

"What a weirdo..." Chelsea hugged herself tightly as she fed her eyes. She had to admit that Edmund had a strong mind. An average person would have changed the setting of the home after a messy divorce, but Edmund didn't.

On second thought, she felt that his nonchalance towards her was why he wasn't affected by their divorce at all.

A cloudy expression appeared on Chelsea's face at the thought of this. She grunted and ascended the stairs hurriedly. She took out the photo albums from the safe in the study and wanted to leave as fast as she came.

Just when she was about to reach for the doorknob of the front door, she heard approaching footsteps. Her heart was in her mouth as the doorknob was turned from outside. The door swung open a second later.

Edmund was standing outside. He looked thinner than usual in the casual clothes he had on.

Behind him stood Leo, who was carrying a small suitcase in his hand. It probably contained Edmund's belongings that were used in the hospital.

Chelsea had completely zoned out. Her head was a mess as she stared blankly at her ex-husband for many seconds.

Didn't he say that he wouldn't be discharged any time soon? What was he doing here now?

Sensing the awkwardness in the air, Leo spoke. "Good day, Miss Williams. Mr. Nelson was just discharged from the hospital."

This explanation brought Chelsea back to her senses. She averted her gaze from Edmund's face. She turned sideways to make way for him, so she could leave as soon as he entered. But he didn't move a muscle.
