Mr. Nelsonn Winning His Ex-wife’s Heart

Capítulo 277

“I'm going to be busy tomorrow, so | can't drink. | don’t want to get a hangover.” Truthfully, she simply didn’t want to drink with Edmund. She felt it was inappropriate to drink with her ex-husband at a hotel in the nighttime.

“| think you can drink as much as you want. It won't be a big deal if you down this bottle,” Edmund said, holding her gaze.

Chelsea was uncomfortable. Was he praising her or being sarcastic? She took a sip of wine in order to get him off her back. Her phone rang just as they began to eat. It was a call from Luka.

Chelsea got up and walked over to the bedroom, Leaving Edmund at the table. Edmund immediately became upset. He had been so happy to be with Chelsea, however, Luka’s call reminded him that Chelsea was now Luka’s girlfriend.

“Had dinner yet?” Luka asked Chelsea on the phone, his voice full of tenderness. Luka was aware that Chelsea and Edmund were on a business trip together. Chelsea had told him about it before they left. It was business, so Luka understood and wasn’t unreasonable.

Chelsea told everything after thinking for a while. “I'm eating. Mr. Nelson and | are having dinner in my room,” she said, being honest.

Luka chortled. “You don’t have to give me the details, Chelsea. I’m only your boyfriend in name after all. | trust you won't do anything with Edmund.”

Chelsea was touched by Luka’s trust and tolerance. They discussed the negotiation she would handle the next day after that. Luka reassured her and said she would succeed for sure. There was a smile on her face when she returned to the table.

Edmund's heart hurt at the sight. She didn’t smile at him all the way from Vertoak till that very moment. Yet she was smiling so happily now. It seemed Luka made her happy. Edmund turned away and downed the wine in his glass.

Chelsea was surprised to find the wine bottle empty as she put her phone away and sat down. “Did you really drink the whole bottle?” She was shocked.

He hadn't eaten his food, but he drank all the wine. Had he forgotten he had a stomachache? He wasn’t supposed to drink too much.

Edmund didn’t bother pretending. “lam in a bad mood. | didn’t realize when | drank it all.”

Chelsea was powerless. What made him seem so sad? Was it Luka’s call? Chelsea decided to ignore him and finish her meal. She picked up the knife and fork and continued to eat.

Seeing Chelsea’s indifference, Edmund's mood worsened. He took the glass he had poured for her and downed that as well. Chelsea almost jumped from the shock of his sudden movement. Why did he drink her wine? It was an indirect kiss!

Seeing her anger, Edmund explained as if it wasn’t a big deal, “You weren’t drinking anyway.” Having enough, she finally answered him, “I already had some though!” Edmund's brows raised.

“So what?”

Chelsea was angry enough to Laugh. What a shameless man! As she was fuming, Edmund got up all of a sudden. “I’m done eating.” He then turned around and left.

Chelsea was perplexed. Shouldn't she be the one who was angry? Why was he the one going off in a sulk?Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

After Edmund left in a huff, Chelsea lost her appetite. Then she realized she was torturing herself because of an insignificant person.

In order to have the stamina to handle tomorrow’s interview, she needed to have a good night's rest and a healthy meal tonight. She returned to her seat at the table and resumed her meal.

The hotel's gourmet fare was a highlight of their stay. Chelsea’s stomach was so full that it had begun to protrude.
