Edmund suddenly moved to her. He leaned towards her and stared deeply into her eyes. Afterward, he said, “You can call him whatever you want. | just think that title is a little too formal since you both are supposedly dating.”
Chelsea had no idea how she’d cope with Edmund so close. She turned away to avoid Edmund's gaze and tried to relax her nerves. “We just formed a relationship.”
Without a word, Edmund straightened up and stared straight ahead. He wanted to ask Chelsea if she’d kissed or had sex with Luka. He was barely holding back.
The elevator arrived at their floor pretty quickly. Before Edmund headed to his room, Chelsea asked, “Now that we’re done with the business, when will you be leaving for Vertoak?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Tomorrow morning,” Edmund answered. “One of my friends is aware I’m in Norrmalm now and arranged a party fortonight.” Nodding, Chelsea said, “Alright, then I'll leave first.”
Dissatisfied with that conclusion, he asked, “Can't you hold on for me? Let’s head back together tomorrow morning.”
Chelsea felt his words weren't reasonable.
“You are not a child, Mr. Nelson. Why do you wantto wait for you? Let’s leave individually.
“I'm worried about you. Who can tell what else Diane and Gerry would do?”
Chelsea fell silent at that. She couldn’t fault his logic there. She’d been more careful since the kidnapping.
Edmund went on, “You can focus on writing while we're at the hotel, and you can use my computer. If you get bored of that, you can cwithto the party tonight.”
Chelsea waved her hands at this and said, “No, no. I'd rather wait for you in the hotel.” Was he insane? Why would he want his ex-wife to accompany him to his friend’s party?
“ILL get my computer for you.” Edmund turned around after saying that and stepped into his room after swiping the room card. A few minutes later, he cout with the laptop and handed it to her “The password is my birth date.”
Chelsea had no idea what to say. Was she still supposed to remember her ex-husband’s birthday one year after their divorce? Or was she supposed to forget? Edmund raised his eyebrows, then he placed the computer in her arms and turned back to his room.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChelsea returned to her room with the laptop. She turned it on after sitting down at the desk and inputted his birth date in silence. She used to celebrate it every year. How could she forget his birth date?
However, even though Chelsea had turned Edmund*s computer on, she wrote another version of adaption with her own computer and waited for the bait to be taken by Diane and Gerry. She used Edmund's computer to go on writing the script of the story, “The Crown.”
Edmund knocked on her door by six. He had changed into casual clothes. “I’m leaving now. I'll be back by ten,” he said. Chelsea didn’t see why he had to tell her that, so she just responded nonchalantly, “Have fun.” He had never let her know of his schedule when they were married. What was the need of doing that after the divorce? It was still fresh in her mind how she’d spent every night while he’d returned hlate. She had spoken to him about it when they were married. He’d looked at her
coldly at the tand sneered, “Who do you think you are, Chelsea? Asking about my schedule, you have no right. Know your place clearly and don’t makesick!”
The reason she’d wanted to know when he'd be returning was that she wanted to prepare him honey water after he’d drunk wine. Inevitably, Chelsea’s mood was affected a little when she thought of those things. Edmund didn’t notice.
“Are you sure you won't attend with me?”
Chelsea shut the door in his face. Edmund paused for a while outside the door then said in a low voice, “I’m sorry.” He, too, knew he’d brought back bad memories in her heart by reporting his plans to her.
Chelsea stood in silence at the door. She had no idea what to say. How could an apology heal the wounds in her heart that'd been there for years?
Since she didn’t respond, Edmund went on, “Someone will get your dinner to you later.”
