Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 31

Chapter 31 Big Shocker

Edmund snatched the piece of paper without hesitation.

Instead of leaving, he said with a smirk, "Who would have thought that you had good eyes for talent? I have to hand it to you, you are a big risk-taker for sparing no effort to train a newcomer."

Now that Edmund suspected that Luka had a crush on his ex-wife, he couldn't help satirizing him.He felt that Luka only sent Chelsea abroad because he liked her.

Like the intelligent man that he was, Luka read the underlying meaning in Edmund's words.He shook his head and smiled.

"Mr.Nelson, I hate to say this, but it seems you don't know your ex-wife at all.It's not that I am a big risk- taker or a good judge of talent.Chelsea is just too excellent that I couldn't help giving her a chance.You know, talented people need the platform to show what they're capable of.Otherwise, they would remain undiscovered like diamonds in the ground."

"Oh, really?"

Edmund scoffed and stared at Luka with his eyebrows raised.

"It might interest you to know that when Zuri first introduced Chelsea as a part-time scriptwriter, I casually gave her the script I was working on and asked her to write an outline as a test.To my greatest surprise, she did marvelously well.Her work was the best I had ever seen from new scriptwriters.Mr.Lewis even selected it at first glance.I can never forget how ecstatic he was when he came and asked to be her mentor."

A trace of surprise flashed through Edmund's eyes.It was no news that Eugene never liked to mentor anyone.He had broken the hearts of many upcoming scriptwriters who wanted to be his mentees.

Thus, it was shocking to learn that he personally asked to mentor Chelsea.

Noticing the surprise in Edmund's eyes, Luka added, "You may not know this, but Chelsea has been fond of literature since childhood.Throughout her school years, she won various prizes for her literary pieces.She was also the best graduating student in her class at the university.You could say that she breathes literature."

Edmund's head was full.It dawned on him that the woman who he had been married to for three years completely deceived him.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмIf he didn't know better, he would have thought Luka was showering praises on a completely different person.

Luka continued to blow Chelsea's trumpet in her absence.

"Chelsea is so gifted that I think she would have still taken the screenwriting world by storm even if Mr.Lewis didn't mentor her.It's such a pity that she didn't kick-start her career full-time immediately after graduation.If she hadn't gotten married to you, she would have been famous by now."

To remain a diligent wife, Chelsea had made her career take the backseat.She could only work part- time even though it was her dream to work full-time like every other career woman.It was crystal clear that Luka was saying that Edmund had prevented Chelsea from living her dreams.

This indirect insult made Edmund's blood boil.He glared at Luka for a few seconds, while squeezing the paper in his hand.

Afterward, he stormed out without saying anything more.

Chelsea was not only the best graduating student in her class, but also the first person Eugene ever offered to mentor.It was so annoying that he had to find out important details about his ex-wife from an outsider.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Intense sadness mixed with irritation settled like a boulder in his gut.

It was a slap in the face that he didn't know that Chelsea was this excellent although they once lived under the same roof and shared the same bed.

Just because Edmund felt that she and her father had set him up, he hated her so much and didn't even bother to get to know her.She was just a shameless gold-digger in his eyes.

The only way he could vent his anger was by torturing Chelsea in bed.Her body gave him pleasure and her cries were pleasant to his ears.

Months passed before his anger reduced.He no longer loathed her as before, but he couldn't bring himself to treat her right.He continued to treat her as if they were just housemates.

On no occasion did he bother to get to know her.

In this way, Chelsea remained a familiar stranger to him until their divorce.

Gloom was written all over Edmund's face when he stormed out of Luka's office.Diane walked to him and held his arm.She asked lovingly, "How did your discussion with Mr.Pierce go? You look pissed.Did he say anything wrong?"

"Let's go.I'll take you home," Edmund said, ignoring her question.

Diane rested her head on his arm and acted cute.

"My home is boring.I want to spend time with you today.How about we go on a date?"

"No.I told you yesterday that I have a lot of work on my hands currently"

Edmund said, looking down at her with a slight frown.

Sensing his brewing irritation, Diane knew it was best not to be pushy.She suggested, "Okay, I'll go home.But how about we have dinner later tonight? You know, we haven't dined together in ages."

"Okay, I'll tell Leo to make a reservation for tonight and inform you about it." Edmund gave in.

Still acting cute, Diane suggested, "I want to have steak tonight.How about making a reservation in that Italian restaurant we frequently go to?"

Edmund stopped dead in his tracks.

For some weird reason, the smell and sight of steak irritated him ever since he discovered that Chelsea was allergic to beef and mutton.He didn't want to have it tonight.
