Chapter: 85
It was bad enough for Chelsea that they were within the sairspace. She didn’t want him to get closer than this, so she stepped back.
Hugging the photo albums to her chest, she continued to move backward. She suddenly tripped on the wide shoe-changing stool.
Edmund moved to her immediately and bent over. His tall figure completely obstructed hers.
Chelsea’s heart thumped against her chest loudly. Being so close to him now had a special kind of effect on her. However, she wasn't going to indulge that feeling anymore.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtALL the years she spent loving him brought her nothing but pain. When she remembered how he treated her like shit, she regained her senses immediately .
Not minding the deep frown on her face, Edmund caressed her cheek and said with a smile, “Chelsea, it’s tto end this cat and mouse game.”
“Cat and mouse game? What do you mean?” Chelsea queried, confusion evident on her face.
Smiling more brightly, Edmund rubbed her soft lips with his thumb and whispered, “I meant that you have madeplay a cat and mouse gwith you since you returned. It’s tyou put an end to it. Why? Because you won. | want you back, my ex- wife.”
This statement was like a bolt out of the blue. His sudden tenderness towards her stunned Chelsea, but it seemed like a basin of cold water was poured on her a second after she heard his confession.
Anger steamed off Chelsea like ultraviolet rays. Her fingers that were holding the albums scratched the hard rubbery jackets.
Since her return, she had been trying to make it clear to him that she wanted nothing to do with him. But Edmund felt that she was only playing hard to get.
It turned out that he still saw her as a sly woman who masked up her true intentions in front of him.
Chelsea was livid. What made him confident enough to think that she would be willing to cback to him after all that he did to her? What an arrogant man!
Painful nostalgia swept through Chelsea at this time. Tears welled up in her eyes due to anger and the thoughts of her past suffering. She didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of seeing her cry as always, so she fought back the tears.
Boiling with rage, she sneered at him. “Do you really think that | am playing hard to get?”
“Uh-huh! Isn’t that what all your recent actions are about? Besides, Zuri’s agent just issued a statement to deny the recent allegation. She said that the two of you are in love with different men,” Edmund replied with certainty.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChelsea was stunned to hear that last sentence. She took out her phone from her bag. She checked the most popular blog site for the hottest celebrity news. It was about her and Zuri. Sunny had issued a statement saying that they had been good friends right from high school, not lesbian partners. She added that they respectively had men
occupying their hearts. It was also stated that Zuri wasn’t happy about the rumor. And that she was going to take legal action against anyone who continued to propagate such false narratives about her.
It was after reading the full statement that Chelsea finally realized where Edmund got his confidence from.
She hadn't bothered to tell Sunny what to say about her in the statement because she trusted Sunny and didn’t think people were that concerned about her since she wasn’t that popular.
Much to her surprise, Sunny’s words made Edmund think that she still had feelings for him.
Chelsea rolled her eyes and put away her phone. She then looked at the proud man in front of her and asked mockingly, “So, you think that you are the man in my heart?”
The mockery in Chelsea’s eyes made Edmund frown in frustration. “Isn't it?”
