Chelsea agreed without hesitation. She arrived at the hotel where they were in a flash. As soon as she got out of the taxi, she saw Edmund walking out with several men. Fay was on their heels
Chelsea noticed that she was trying so hard to stay awake and walk. Her eyebrows were furrowed and her steps were very unsteady.
The group spoke to each other as they stood outside the hotel. Chelsea only knew Edmund and Fay out of the crowd. She wasn't in the mood to meet new people, so she stayed afar and waited patiently.
Once the men left in their respective cars one after the other, Chelsea walked up to Fay and held her gently. She asked with concern, “Are you okay?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFay didn’t utter a word. She just leaned against Chelsea. It was obvious that she was wasted. Chelsea hurriedly helped her to the taxi she had arrived in, completely ignoring Edmund who was standing close by
She didn’t bother speaking to him. She also concluded that he could take care of himself. They had locked eyes a couple of times while she was waiting for him to finish speaking to those men. It was hard to tell if Edmund looked in her direction intentionally or not.
After carefully assisting Fay to sit in the back seat, Chelsea bowed her head, intending to get into the car. “Chelsea! Stop!” Edmund called out to her.
Chelsea didn’t spare him a backward glance. Nonetheless, she could tell from his lazy tone that he was drunk. She had nothing to say to him, so she pretended as if she didn’t hear him and tried to get into the car.
She had barely gotten her left foot in when she felt something cold grip her hand. A strong force pulled her a second later. Before she knew what was happening, she was in Edmund's arms.
“What are you doing?” Chelsea tried to fight him off. However, Edmund leaned in. His breath reeked of alcohol. Staring deeply into her eyes he drawled, “Why didn’t you accept my friend request on Facebook?”
He suddenly let out a belch that made Chelsea twist her nose in disgust. Before she could say a word, he continued firmly, “Why? | won't let you go until you tellthe reason. Answer me!”
“Your breath stinks, Edmund. Why did you drink so much?” In a bid to change the topic, Chelsea didn’t notice the concern in her tone.
He just got out of the hospital sdays ago, didn’t he? Why did he take alcohol again? Worse still, he drank a whole lot. Didn’t he care about his health? Chelsea thought, looking at him with glittering eyes.
Awicked smile appeared on Edmund's face. He pulled her closer to himself and asked, “So you still care abouteven though we are no longer married, do you?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChelsea let out a peal of mocking laughter. How did he conclude that she cared about him?
Besides, she wasn’t stupid enough to do that when he didn’t even care about himself. He was so full of himself.
Chelsea tried to push him away and said, “I can see that the alcohol has gotten rid of your senses. Let go ofnow!” In her opinion, it was inappropriate for them to be in such a position in public since they were divorced.
Chelsea had no desire to argue with Edmund especially since he was in this drunken state. However, he held her waist tightly and showed no signs of letting her go. Instead, he insisted, “You haven't givena reason yet.”
Chelsea raised her head and looked at the man before her. His deep-set eyes were brimming with inquiry.
There was something quite not right about this. Edmund wasn’t the sort of man who would pester his ex-wife.
