Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 228

Chelsea went back by Leo's car. The two of them had a nice conversation on their journey.

Although Leo and Fay were twins, they were the polar opposites of each other. Leo was talkative while Fay was quiet.

After Chelsea got home, she got a call from Chris who said he would come soon to check the computer. It was a pressing matter that Chelsea was eager to have resolved.

Twenty minutes later, Chris arrived. Wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, he looked like an elite class member.

After operating the computer skillfully, Chris proudly announced to Chelsea, "Now your computer is very secure. It will be just about impossible for hackers to invade it. You can rest assured and concentrate on your work."

Chelsea nodded her head and said, "Thank you very much. By the way, I want to invite you and Zora for dinner some other time."

It was Chris who had recommended Zora to her. She gathered they must know each other well. As a consequence, she thought he would be thrilled to join them.

To her utter surprise, Chris refused, "No! Don't make me stay with her."

Chelsea, quite confounded by his behavior, asked, "What's wrong? Aren't you colleagues? If I am not wrong, you recommended Zora, didn't you?"

"Well, you are wrong. I barely know her and we aren't well-aquatinted," said Chris, resentment building inside of him.

Chelsea knew better than to push him. "Well, all right. In that case, I'll invite her alone."

As Chelsea said this, she took her bag and said, "Let's go. Thank you for helping me fix my computer. I'll treat you to dinner alone."

However, Chris said awkwardly, "When are you going to have dinner with her? Let me see if I have time. You don't have to invite us separately. I am aware you have a busy schedule."

Sudden change in Chris made Chelsea burst out laughing. "What's your relationship with Zora? I can't quite put my finger on it. However, I get the feeling you care about her very much."

"Who cares about her! Don't utter nonsense!" Chris denied all allegations against him liking her.

After a short pause, Chris added apologetically, "I heard that you have taken over the adaptation of Roy's new script. I am simply trying to help you. You call her and ask if she is available. I have a tight schedule and I tend to overwork every now and then."

Hearing what Chris said, Chelsea took out her phone and dialed Zora's number.

Zora answered the phone immediately. In response, she said, "There's no need for you to invite me to dinner. After all, I haven't done anything new. It's my responsibility to serve patients. However, there is something you can do for me. I heard you are familiar with Orlando. Would you be kind enough to get me his autograph?"

Chelsea agreed readily. "No problem. I'll be more than happy to get one for you."

Before Chelsea could finish her words, her phone was snatched away by Chris. Her mouth was agape with shock.

With a furious look on his face, Chris said, "Zora, don't you feel ashamed since you are a thirty-year-old woman? How can you be crazy about a twenty-year-old young boy?"

Chelsea was rendered speechless.

She had always taken Chris for someone who was sweet and gentle. This harsh side of him stunned her.

But Zora showed no anger. Chelsea vaguely heard her reply to Chris in her usual tone, "Why should I be ashamed? Some old men take a liking to young girls. This is no different."

"Ha ha!" Chris's fury was so evident that his face flushed red. He sneered and hung up the phone.

Chelsea raised her hand and rubbed her temples. Upset, she said to Chris, "Chris, you have treated Zora in a very inappropriate manner just now. Besides, she has only asked for Orlando's autograph. What's so vulgar about it?"

Still fuming with rage, he said, "Do you think she just wants his autograph? Oh no, trust me, she is going to chase after him."

"Even if she does, it's okay. From what I know, she is a single woman, isn't she?" Chelsea said in her

defense.

Hearing Chelsea's question, Chris simply looked at her.

Chelsea wouldn't give up so easily. She went on, "Do you happen to like her?"

"I'm leaving now. Go ahead with your work." A trace of embarrassment flashed across Chris's face.

She went after him and asked, "What about the dinner?"

"No, thanks." After saying that, he rushed out in a hurry. Chelsea had no energy to follow after him.

Since Chris had refused to have dinner with her, Chelsea decided to stay back home and order take- out. She wasn't in the mood to step out of her apartment anyway.

Before the takeout was delivered, Chelsea called Zora again.

She explained, "Zora, I'm so sorry. I didn't expect that Chris would grab my phone and say those awful things to you." Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"It's all good. I am fine," said Zora shrugging her shoulders.

Chelsea didn't want to sound nosy but her curiosity got the best of her. "Has anything happened between you and Chris?"

Zora wasn't the type to conceal stuff. "I had sex with him several times when we were studying abroad. I had already forgotten it, but he still seems mad at me about it."

Chelsea opened her mouth in surprise and couldn't speak for a while.

Seeming to notice Chelsea's surprise, Zora explained with a smile, "Back then, I hadn't had sex with any man. When I saw Chris, I chose to have sex with him. However, that's it. There is nothing more to it. I never anticipated meeting him again at my workplace."

"I see." Chelsea nodded in understanding.

It turned out Zora had no genuine feelings for Chris and had casual sex with him. But for Chris, it meant something and he was still thinking about her.
