Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 187

Perhaps it was because Chelsea had loved Edmund too much that he never thought that she would move on with another man after they parted ways.

To his disappointment, Chelsea was holding hands with another man.

There was a painful lump in Edmund's throat at this moment. He grunted and went to the balcony to smoke.

A few messages continued to pour into the WhatsApp group chat. Yusuf texted comfortingly, "Edmund, are you okay?"

"I don't know if he's okay or not. But I am not. How could this happen?" Chris replied, accompanying it with a sad emoji.

He still couldn't accept the fact that Chelsea, who once loved Edmund with all her heart, had moved on with another man.

Since he was sad by the current development, Edmund was most definitely sadder.

After taking a big puff of his cigarette, Edmund sent a message to the group chat. "Why are you guys so bothered? It's not a big deal. Stop stressing!"

Edmund still put up a strong and unperturbed front even though he was dying inside.

Yusuf's next message read, "I'm glad you are taking this well. Anyway, since you are now single and your ex-wife has moved on, how about I introduce you to another woman?"

"I'm not interested," Edmund replied straightforwardly, biting his cigarette.

No one knew the right words to say after Edmund's resolute response. The group went silent for a while.

By the time Edmund finished his cigarette, he proposed, "How about we go out for a drink?" Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"Do you want to drown your sorrows with alcohol?" Yusuf asked immediately.

"Of course not!" Edmund replied.

"Okay, then. See you at our usual spot!" Yusuf replied after cackling for a while.

Chris was on night duty at the hospital, so he couldn't go out for a drink. Brayan, who seldom hung out with the guys because he was married, showed up this time.

It was obvious that Edmund's friends were worried about him. As far as they were concerned, he was heartbroken and badly in need of their comfort and companionship. They could all see through his facade.

The three of them gathered at a private lounge in their usual bar. Once they all settled down, Yusuf asked Edmund, "Dude, can I give you some friendly advice?"

"What is it about?" Edmund inquired with a frown as he poured himself a glass of wine.

Yusuf shrugged and responded, "It's about a way you can win Chelsea back."

Edmund uttered crossly, "And why would I want to do that? Chelsea is already dating Luka! Do you want me to break their relationship?"

Brayan spat out a mouthful of wine as Edmund's sudden roar made his heart skip a beat.

The next second, he burst into laughter. Breaking a relationship wasn't befitting Edmund's status at all.

"Why would I want you to break their relationship? Actually, I want you to profess your love to Chelsea. They haven't got married, have they? Even if they did, they could get divorced." Yusuf didn't realize his words had struck a nerve until he finished speaking.

Trying to save the situation, Yusuf muttered, "I mean they won't last long..."

No matter what he said afterward, Edmund was still sad.

At this moment, Edmund realized that he was stupid not to have cherished Chelsea while she was still with him. Their marriage had ended because he didn't make any effort to reciprocate her love at that time.

When Yusuf saw Edmund's gloomy face, he changed the topic immediately. "You know what? Let's not talk about love or relationships. We should just drink and relax!"

Yusuf took away the wineglass in front of Edmund and handed him a bottle of fresh juice.

Although they were fond of making fun of each other, they all had each other's well-being at heart. Edmund's health was one of the things Yusuf took seriously. He always made sure his friend didn't have too much to drink so he wouldn't land in the hospital again.

Edmund took a sip of the juice. It was sweet, but it didn't meet his needs now.

He needed something that could relieve his pain now. And alcoholic wine could do the trick.

He angrily pushed the glass of juice aside. Afterward, he poured himself another glass of wine.

Brayan kicked against it immediately. "Come on, man! You know you shouldn't be drinking like that. If you fall ill again, Chelsea won't be happy with you."

Edmund's hand froze.

For good measure, Yusuf chipped in, "That's right. Chelsea once took good care of you. Now if you won't stay away from alcohol, how could you repay her?"

These threatening statements worked like magic. Edmund surrendered the glass of wine, intending not to take another sip.

Yusuf and Brayan shared a knowing glance and sighed helplessly.

The mention of Chelsea's name had been effective to stop Edmund from drinking. However, he still refused to admit that he cared about her.

He was so stubborn.
