Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 34

Chapter 34 Another Shocker

Now that Edmund realized that Chelsea didn’t show up for the meeting because of a tangible reason, he beat himself up for speaking to her in that manner.

After thinking of the right words to say, Edmund called her again to apologize.

But the calls disconnected after the first ring.

it was obvious that Chelsea was declining his calls.

Edmund came up with another idea.He summoned Leo and ordered, "Send the driver to the suburban hospital to pick up someone."

"Okay."

Leo nodded and asked curiously, "Who exactly should he pick up?"

"Ahem!"

Edmund cleared his throat and said with great difficulty, "Chelsea."

Leo's eyes widened in surprise.

When he saw his boss's frown, he bowed slightly and turned to leave.

"You know what? I've changed my mind.You should go pick her up instead," Edmund said, stepping Leo in his tracks.

He thought it was best to send Leo since he was a calm and reliable assistant who had been working with him for many years.

Hazarding a guess as to why Edmund assigned such a task to him, Leo nodded.He then suggested, "Mr.Nelson, I'd gladly do that, but would you like to pick her up yourself?"

"No, that's why I'm sending you instead."

Edmund refused with a frown.It didn't sound like a good idea to him because Chelsea had been giving him the cold shoulder since she returned.

If he went there, she might dislike him even more.

Leo immediately did as he was told.

Forty minutes later, he made a call to Edmund.

"Hello, Mr.Nelson.I tried all I could, but Miss Williams refused to get in the car.She got in Mr.Pierce's instead and left with him," Leo said awkwardly.

This report made Edmund's blood boil.His fingers tightened around his phone.He queried, "Are you trying to tell me that Luka was there?"

Earlier today, Edmund had marked Luka as one of his rivals.The fact that Luka went to pick Chelsea up fueled his suspicion.

After all, bosses never served as chauffeurs to their employees no matter what happened.

"Yes, Mr.Pierce was already here when I arrived" Leo responded.

Edmund was speechless.Leo added hesitantly, "Before Miss Williams left, I asked her if she had any injuries.She has a small scratch on her arm.I also conveyed your sincere apology to her.Ermm...She asked me to relay a message to you..."

"What did she say?" Edmund asked, his voice louder than usual.

After coughing awkwardly, Leo said, "She said she doesn't give a damn about your apology.She also said that your rudeness to her wasn't unexpected.After all, whatever she does is always wrong in your eyes."

The disdainful expression Chelsea had when she gave Leo the message appeared in his mind.It made him realize that his boss must have been so cruel to her in the past.

Those words pierced through Edmund's heart like a knife.He was so hurt that he didn't know what to say. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

After a while, he finally said, "Come back."

"One more thing, Boss.Miss Williams actually went to the suburb to visit her mother's tomb.Today is her death anniversary!" Leo quickly added.

"What?"

Edmund was shocked yet again.

"I said that today is the anniversary of her mother's death.She went to the suburb yesterday evening.After visiting her mother's tomb, she took the first bus coming to Vertoak.Unfortunately, the bus had an accident on the way.She was then sent to the hospital."

Her mother's death anniversary was today? What the hell! Edmund suffered a banging headache in a split second.His hand that was holding the phone became sweaty.

Although he knew that Chelsea had lost her mother many years ago, he didn't know the location of her tomb or the date of her death anniversary.

There was a high possibility that Chelsea mentioned it to him before and he never bore it in mind.It was also possible that she never told him because he always treated her badly.

Despite Chelsea's grieving state, she had made a concerted effort to come back in time for the meeting.She obviously had the right attitude to work.But he had accused her of being unserious without listening to her first.

Edmund almost pulled his hair out at this moment.

Meanwhile, Chelsea was sitting in the front passenger seat of Luka’s car.Her eyes were slightly red.She wasn't sad because Edmund scolded her.

On the contrary, she was angry with him.

Edmund's behavior was getting on her nerves.He was giving her a hard time even though she was out of his life.

On second thought, Chelsea realized that she wasn't completely out of his life.He was the investor for the new play, so she was his employee in a way.

Investors were regarded as gods in the entertainment industry.

They could hire and fire anyone at any point in time.

As a result, Edmund had the right to question her for being absent today.

Now that Chelsea realized that her anger was unwarranted, she became remorseful.

She looked at Luka, who was driving beside her, and asked worriedly, "Mr.Pierce, do you think Edmund will be mad at me for what I did today? I was wrong, right?"

A trace of disappointment flickered in Luka.

Trying to sound as casual as he could, he asked, "Why are you so worried that he will be mad? Do you still care about him?"
