Mr. Nelsonn Winning His Ex-wife’s Heart

Chapter: 13
Chelsea this afternoon, he hadn't been able to concentrate on anything.
His mind was a mess. Images of her face continued to flash in his mind. [o}
The Chelsea he saw today was different from the one he once knew. During the
time they were married, she had made Edmund the center of her life. She did
everything to please him.
But all that had changed now. A cloak of depression fell on Edmund as he
recalled how Chelsea had completely ignored him earlier today.
His mood was the reason why he had to work overtime. He was still struggling to
concentrate.
Just when Edmund was trying to talk himself out of thinking too much, his
cellphone rang. The call was from Yusuf Collins, his best friend and business
partner. Yusuf was a famous playboy in Vertoak.
As the life of parties, he went drinking and clubbing most nights. Edmund didn’t
want to pick up his call because he’d most likely invite him out for a drink.
Work was more important to Edmund than partying. More so, he never
abandoned unfinished business to idle away.
His phone rang off the hook for several minutes. When Edmund realized that
Yusuf wasn’t going to give up, he reluctantly picked it. An exclamation came
almost immediately.
“Hey, guess who I just saw!”
“You know I'm not good at guessing. Who did you see?” Edmund asked
indifferently.
Due to his bad mood, he wasn't interested in Yusuf's usual stories about women
he met at the club.
“I just saw Chelsea, your ex-wife!” Yusuf intoned slowly.
Edmund frowned slightly at first and then clenched his teeth. It was no news that
Chelsea was his ex-wife, so he didn’t understand why Yusuf had to spell it out to
him now.
It was almost as if Yusuf was trying to mock him.
“When did she get back? I thought she traveled abroad. How come she’s here
now?” Yusuf asked curiously, oblivious to his friend's simmering anger.
A year ago, he was shocked to find out that Chelsea had asked Edmund for a
divorce. What shocked him even more was that she didn't ask for alimony or any
properties. She went off the radar after the divorce. It wasn’t until someone
investigated that they found out that she went abroad the same day she signed
the divorce agreement.
No one bothered to investigate what exactly she was going to do abroad. They
earlier thought she was still in Vertoak. Since she had divorced him on impulse,
they felt that she might come back one day to beg for Edmund's forgiveness. But
after finding out that she traveled out of the country, they came to the conclusion
that Chelsea had really made up her mind.
Edmund didn’t want to talk about Chelsea with Yusuf, so he replied perfunctorily,
“Oh.
As his best friend, Yusuf read meaning to his nonchalant response.
“Why are you so calm? Did you know that she was back? Have you met her
already?”

Yes.” Edmund gave that simple reply
