Mr. Nelsonn Winning His Ex-wife’s Heart

Chapter 35

Chapter: 35 Having worked with Edmund for so many years, Leo was aware of how much he hated Chelsea.

He never understood why his boss preferred the troublesome Diane to Chelsea, who was calm and collected. But he never dared to say anything.

“No, there will be no need for that.” Edmund stopped him, much to his surprise.

“Mr. Nelson, | don’t understand.” Leo looked at his boss with confusion written all over his face. Judging by how much Edmund used to express his hatred for Chelsea, he had reasoned that he wouldn't want to set eyes on her or even allow her to work on the project he was funding

Edmund leaned his back against his seat. He then explained, “Now that Luka recommended her, we have to believe that she’s up to the task. There will be no need to take her off the production team. More so, | don’t want to mix our personal issues with business.”

The hidden meaning of his words was that he wouldn't kick Chelsea out of the project just because he had a prejudice against her.

Leo nodded.

“Okay, | understand now. Tomorrow is the first general meeting for the project. Everyone involved in the play will be present. Will you attend it?”

“Yes.” Edmund was now skimming through some work files, so he replied without raising his head. Leo nodded and left to make the necessary arrangement .

Once the door was shut, Edmund raised his head. There was an indescribable sparkle in his eyes. He looked forward to seeing the draft of the script Chelsea would show them tomorrow.

Not long after he concentrated on his work again, a call from Diane came through.

“Baby, | miss you so much. We haven't spent time together for a Long time. I’m so lonely,” Diane said in a sobbing tone as soon as he answered the call.

Edmund rubbed between his eyebrows and responded, “Work has been hectic. | currently have my hands full.”

“Oh, sorry about that. Make sure you don’t stress yourself too much. Anyway, do you have any plans tomorrow?” Diane put on the mask of a caring girlfriend.

Edmund didn’t try to hide the truth. He replied indifferently, “I have a meeting to attend about a new play tomorrow.” “Anew play?” Diane exclaimed with joy.

“That’s great. I'LL accompany you there. It has been a long time since | went to such meetings. I'd like to attend this one since I'm still interested in acting. Let's go together, okay?”

A few seconds passed before Edmund finally said seriously, “Diane, you shouldn’t have stopped acting. Why did you quit when you are still interested in it?”

He never told Diane to stop acting. It was she who decided out of the blue to quit on the basis that it was stressful. He couldn’t understand why she did that when she was still interested in it.

It was Diane who had broken up with him to focus on her acting career over three years ago. Now she quit her acting career acting as if she did that because of him.

Of course, he wasn’t moved at all.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

This seemingly sacrificial decision didn’t gladden Edmund's heart. Instead, he was unhappy with her. Many people who had invested their time, efforts, and money into her career lost a lot because of her decision.

Diane was rendered speechless by Edmund’s words. But she couldn't afford to quarrel with him. She swallowed hard and changed the topic “That's not important right now. Are you going to take me to the meeting or not?”

The disgust on Edmund's face increased. Why did Diane become so pushy? Then it struck him. Sonya must have told her that Chelsea was back in town!
