Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 22

Chapter 22 Frustrated Effort

A weighted silence fell on everyone as Chelsea and Edmund continued to stare at each other.The onlookers could feel the tension between them, but they didn't dare to say anything.

Zuri could also feel the tension.

However, her heart was leaping with joy at this moment.She loved to see the pained expression on Edmund's face now that Chelsea refused to go to the hospital with him. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Sonya was so pained that her brother was ingratiating himself with his ex- wife.She hated Chelsea so much, so she was livid that Edmund not only scolded her for Chelsea's sake, but also looked hurt after his kindness was declined.

Several seconds passed before Eugene finally decided to break the silence.

"Chelsea, I think you should go to the hospital instead."

"Teacher, I actually came here to ask you some questions about..." Chelsea tried to change the topic.

As a top scriptwriter in the film industry, Eugene was always busy.

Getting an opportunity to speak to him was difficult, so Chelsea didn't want to leave here without doing what she came for.

"Don't worry about that, Chelsea.You can ask me the questions after you get your wound treated.I'm willing to help you at any time," Eugene said assuredly.

The good relationship between Chelsea and Eugene stunned Sonya.She was so jealous at this moment.

Who the hell was Chelsea? Why was Eugene so kind to her? Did she sell her body to him for favors? Asides from being famous for his scriptwriting talent, Eugene was always a topic of discussion in the entertainment industry because of his arrogance.

Many people reached out to him to help them teach new scriptwriters.However, he always turned them down.

Seeing that Chelsea addressed Eugene as her teacher, Sonya wondered why Eugene decided to mentor someone now.She also wondered when Chelsea became a scriptwriter.

Chelsea held Eugene in high esteem.She could never go against him even if it wasn't convenient for her.

As a result, she bowed and left with Edmund on her heels.

"Edmund!"

Sonya burst into tears when she saw that her brother was behaving like a bodyguard for her enemy.

Like the spoiled brat that she was, she had expected him to punish Chelsea and force her to apologize.But he did the exact opposite.

Not only that, he grounded her indefinitely.

Sonya was almost losing her mind.

With a displeased expression, Eugene looked at Sonya and said, "Miss Nelson, you may not know this but money can't buy everything in this world.Even love can be bought with money, but there's one thing that can't be bought."

"And what is that? Tell me exactly what can't be bought with money!"

Sonya was So livid that she was about to transfer her aggression to Eugene.

"Etiquette."

With that simple answer, Eugene turned to Zuri and asked her to follow him.It was obvious that he meant that Sonya had just behaved like an uneducated thug.

Sonya’s face turned red immediately.

The shame was too much to bear.She covered her face and left in a hurry.

No one was on her side here.

Even her so-called boyfriend had left once he finished watching her misbehave.

He didn't want to be with someone who had gotten scolded by the legendary scriptwriter, Eugene.

Many directors usually asked for Eugene's opinion before selecting actors and actresses for the cast.

As a result, Sonya's boyfriend didn't want to spoil his chances of getting roles because of her bad behavior.He even decided to break up with her as soon as possible.

Edmund's car was already parked at the entrance of the filming set when Chelsea got outside.

Instead of getting into the car, Chelsea folded her arms defiantly.She said firmly, "No one can see us now, Mr.Nelson.You can drop the act.I can take myself to the hospital."

Edmund's hand which was holding the car door handle froze.

An indescribable feeling rose in his heart.He slammed the door and turned to look at her.He asked through gritted teeth, "Why did you say that I should drop the act? Do you really think that I only

scolded Sonya to make myself look good in front of all those people?"

"Uh-huh! Isn't that why? Sonya was obviously in the wrong.From all indications, you only chose the safer side.You scolded her because you didn't want the onlookers to think that the Nelson family failed to bring her up in the right way.You wanted them to see that you were an upright man, didn't you?" Chelsea asked indifferently.

In her opinion, Edmund only punished Sonya to preserve the dignity of his family.She didn't think that he stood up for her because it was the right thing to do.

He never cared about her while she was his wife, so she saw no reason why he would do so now that they were divorced.

Edmund was so annoyed that Chelsea had read his actions wrong.He ran his fingers through his hair out of frustration.
