Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 108 Edmund’s Protection Attemp

The hatred Chelsea had for Edmund quadrupled after what Alena and Sonya did. With a deep frown, she bypassed him and walked into the apartment.

Edmund didn't need to be told that she resented him even more now. His heart ached as he watched her back.

Fay, who had been standing there quietly, reasoned that now wasn't the perfect time for Edmund to talk things through with Chelsea. She sighed and said, "Mr. Nelson, you should go to the hospital first. Maybe you two can talk once the heat blows over."

Edmund reasoned that this was a good idea, so he drove away.

Fay watched the car disappear down the road before she hurried back to see Chelsea.

Chelsea was in a fetal position on the sofa. She looked smaller than normal. Her face was buried in her knees, so Fay couldn't tell if she was crying or not.

She went to the kitchen and fetched a glass of warm water. After sitting close to Chelsea, she asked worriedly, "Are you okay? Drink some water so you can feel better."

Chelsea raised her head, took the water, and replied softly, "I'm fine. Thank you."

Even though Chelsea said she was fine, Fay could tell that she was not. She felt pity for Chelsea when she noticed that her hand was cold and her eyes and cheeks were red.

It wasn't until Chelsea drank a few mouthfuls of water that her body felt warm.

Although she looked so calm when Alena fainted, her heart was beating so fast. Fear had overwhelmed her so much that her hands and feet became cold in the blink of an eye.

She didn't like Alena, but she was concerned about her health. People would blame her if anything bad happened to Alena.

Sensing what was going on in Chelsea's mind, Fay held her arm and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, Chelsea. She will be fine. It's not your fault. Her health deteriorated after her husband cheated and left her."

It was common for people's health to dwindle after getting abandoned by a loved one. Thus, Fay brought it up as a perfect excuse. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Fay paused for a while and asked, "What transpired between you and Mr. Nelson's mother just now? Why did she faint?"

Chelsea brushed her hair back and replied helplessly, "I was busy working on the script when Alena called and scolded me. I didn't want to hear what she had to say, so I hung up on her. Some minutes later, she showed up at here with Sonya. We argued for a while and she tried to slap me. At that time, I began recording with my phone for proof."

Chelsea handed her phone to Fay and added, "The rest is here."

After watching the video on Chelsea's phone, Fay couldn't help shaking her head and sighing. "It's such a shame that she behaved like this. She didn't have the usual temperament that people of her status usually have."

Not only did Alena cuss Chelsea out on the phone, but she also came over and attempted to slap her. Why did a noble lady behave like an uncultivated shrew?

It was obvious that Alena and Sonya did it for two reasons. First, they felt that they had the right to bully Chelsea because she was from an ordinary background. Second, they still saw her as the naive and submissive woman who used to take their insults and maltreatment without fighting back. They felt the need to trample on her even though she wasn't married to Edmund anymore.

Hugging herself again, Chelsea uttered, "It's puzzling, isn't it? I didn't offend them in any way. Why did they come here to bully me?"

"Well, I think I know why they came here," Fay said after pondering for a while.

"You do? Please tell me," Chelsea requested, moving closer to her.

"Well, Mr. Nelson invited Sonya for lunch today. He made it known to her that he would be sending her abroad soon. This didn't go down well with her." As Edmund's assistant, Fay was aware of what went on in his life. She had made the reservation at the restaurant for him.

Chelsea was surprised. "What? Edmund is sending Sonya abroad?"

Fay nodded and explained, "Yeah. It might interest you to know that Sonya was the one who told Garry where you lived."

Chelsea's eyes bulged out of the sockets when she heard this. But she soon became calm. It occurred to her that Sonya was capable of doing such a thing. After all, she had done worse things in the past.

Seizing the opportunity to put in a good word for her boss, Fay said, "Mr. Nelson doesn't want Sonya to continue causing trouble for you, so he's sending her away."

Edmund never told her such a thing. However, Fay just reasoned that he wanted to protect Chelsea since he had been by her side all the time. This was the only logical explanation she could come up with for his recent actions.
