Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart Chapter 174

Chapter 174"Thanks, but no thanks. There would be no need for that. I don't feel cold," Chelsea said with a straight
face. This was a big lie. She just didn't want to accept his kindness now.
Edmund turned a deaf ear to her words. After staring at her meaningfully, he moved closer and
wrapped his jacket around her.
Chelsea didn't want to put up a fight. If she did, his arms would continue to be wrapped around her.
She quickly grasped the flaps of the jacket and smiled politely. "Thanks."
Edmund let go of her. After taking a deep breath, he asked seriously, "Please be honest with me,
Chelsea. Did you divorce me because of that fake pregnancy test result?"
Without waiting for a response, he added, "Nothing happened between me and Diane. I never slept
with her while we were dating, let alone after I got married to you. More so, I haven't touched her after
our divorce."
Edmund had only intended to tell Chelsea that he hadn't been sexually intimate with Diane during their
marriage.
He didn't know when he blurted out the entire truth. A strange urge drove him to say everything. It was
almost as if he was afraid that she wouldn't take his word for it.
Chelsea was a little surprised when she heard his words. He had dated Diane for a long time. How
come he didn't have sex with her? Anyway, that was beside the point.
Chelsea looked at him and said calmly, "You don't get it, Edmund."
"What don't I get? Please explain," Edmund uttered with confusion written all over his face.
Chelsea held her chest and explained sadly, "I didn't divorce you because of external interference or
whatever you had been going with Diane. I did it because you didn't love me."
Turning to look at the sea, she added calmly, "Do you remember? On the day of your grandpa's
birthday party, he urged you to have a baby with me. You said I wasn't worthy of carrying your child.
You even said why you should have a baby with a woman you didn't love. Do you remember?"
Color drained from Edmund's face. His expression froze instantly. He remembered saying all that. At
that time, he thought Chelsea had incited his grandfather to put pressure on him to have a baby. He
thought she wanted to seal her position as his wife by bearing him a child.
It wasn't until she resolutely asked for a divorce and gave up the position of Mrs. Nelson did he realize
that he was totally wrong.
Still staring at the sea, Chelsea added in a bitter voice, "My heart is not made of stone, Edmund. I'm
human like everyone else. What you said that day was the last straw that broke the camel's back. I was
so heartbroken that I decided to divorce you. Just so we are clear, I divorced you because of how you
treated me, not because of the actions of outsiders."
The fact that Edmund hadn't figured this out meant he still couldn't acknowledge his faults. He still expected everyone to love and obey him unconditionally.
Silence was the only response Chelsea got from him after she finished speaking.
novelbinUnwilling to stay any longer, Chelsea took off his jacket and handed it to him. She then asked, "Can I
leave now?"
She had explained why she divorced him. There was no need to drag on.
Moving on was what Chelsea had in mind. She was going to leave her painful past and see if she could
meet the right man. She decided not to love any man unless he loved her first.
Without taking back his jacket, Edmund asked, "Why didn't you inform me after you found out that the
pregnancy test result was fake?"
Shrugging indifferently, Chelsea replied with alienation, "Of what good would that have been? We were
already divorced. Besides, you would have accused me of slandering Diane and trying to get back into
your life."
Edmund always treated Diane like a queen while he discarded Chelsea like a filthy rag. As a result, she
had reasoned that he would call her a liar if she ever brought that matter up.
Chelsea was done with this conversation. She put the jacket on one of his hands and started walking
away.
"Wait!" Edmund shouted, following her. He held her arm and said with difficulty, "Chelsea, I'm so sorry."
