Mr. Nelsonn Winning His Ex-wife’s Heart

Chapter 14

Chapter: 14 “What? A handsome young man?” Edmund raised his voice. His curiosity was getting the best of him now.

“Yes, they are having a good time. The man in question is an upcoming actor. You may not have heard of him before. His name is Orlando Curtis. He’s in his early twenties. | must say that he’s so handsome,” Yusuf said, dragging his last words intentionally.

“Where are you now?” Edmund asked coldly. Yusuf blurted out the address of the restaurant before he came to his senses. He asked curiously, “Are you coming over?”

The only response he got was the disconnect tone. Unbeknown to him, Edmund had hung up before he finished asking his question. He stared at his phone screen and was lost in thought. Edmund sounded as if he was in a haste. Was he rushing down to the restaurant because his ex-wife was having dinner with another man? What was his deal, anyway?

Chelsea was indeed having dinner with a young man named Orlando. However, it wasn’t a date. They actually met for another reason.

Zuri had starred in an urban rom-com. The drama was about the love life of a career-driven woman. This woman was supposed to fall in love with a young handsome man. An actor for the hero role hadn’t been cast early.

There was a sea of young male stars in the industry, so it was hard for Zuri and the crew to choose. She had asked Chelsea, who was still abroad at that time, to help her choose one.

Picking the right actor for a role was one of Chelsea’s fortes as a scriptwriter.

In the end, Chelsea chose Orlando for the role. His acting was nothing short of perfect. He completely owned the role. The drama was a success as soon as it hit the screens. The viewers rated it highly online and spoke well of it offline. It was also nominated for many awards.

Orlando’s career shot to the roof because he got many acting gigs afterward. To express his gratitude to Chelsea, he decided to treat her to dinner as soon as she arrived in Vertoak.

Oblivious to the fact that her ex-husband’s best friend had seen her when she went upstairs, Chelsea enjoyed her meal and chatted with Orlando happily. In the middle of the meal, a waiter knocked on the door of the private dining room and walked in carrying a platter of steak in his hand.

Orlando Looked at the waiter in confusion. “All the dishes we ordered have been served, haven't they?” “Yes. This steak is our signature dish. Mr. Nelson ordered it specially for this lady,” the waiter explained with a smile.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Mr. Nelson?” Chelsea’s face darkened once she heard that name. She pursed her lips and glanced at the steak. Was it from Edmund? Why was he here?

What a small world! Their paths never crossed for the entire year that she was abroad. But on the day that she returned, they met twice.

This seemingly harmless gesture didn’t sit right with Chelsea. They had ended things on a bad note. Why did he send her this steak as if all Was well between them?

Chelsea didn’t want to have anything to do with Edmund asides from work. As a result, she decided not to accept the steak. With a faint smile, she said to the waiter apologetically, “I’m sorry,

| can’t accept it. First, | don’t know the Mr. Nelson you speak of Second, I’m allergic to beef and mutton. Please take it back. Thanks

[0) The waiter had no choice but to leave with the steak when he heard her reasons.

In this Line of work, he had met people with severe food allergies. The workers here were obligated to Listen to the diners whenever they said that they were allergic to some foods.

Sadness glistened in Chelsea’s eyes as soon as the waiter left. She lowered her head and continued to eat just to hide her emotions.

Since she was a child, she was allergic to beef and mutton. She avoided them Like a plague. If she mistakenly had them, red rashes would appear all over her body.
