Chapter 15
Chapter: 15 Edmund was a lover of beef and mutton. He ate them in almost every meal. While they were married, Chelsea had cooked them for him even though they irritated her. But she never had a bite.
The fact that Edmund had no idea of her food allergies even though they had been married for three long years further proved one thing. He didn’t care about her at all during those years.
Noticing that Chelsea was a little uneasy, Orlando couldn't help asking, “Are you all right, Chelsea? Who is Mr. Nelson?”
Although the messy divorce between her and Edmund had made headlines a year ago, only a few people knew what Chelsea actually looked Like. The former Mrs. Nelson that the public knew was the elegant Lady who had given a strange speech during the anniversary celebration of the Nelson Group. No one could tell that this humbly dressed woman and that elegant woman were the same.
In Orlando’s eyes, Chelsea was just a scriptwriter. “| don’t know him. | guess this is a case of mistaken identity,” Chelsea replied perfunctorily.
She had planned to keep Edmund buried in her past. Before returning, she hoped to kick-start her career without having to worry about him. She didn’t expect that their paths would cross on her first day.
What bad Luck! This was the only logical explanation Chelsea had in her mind. What else could she call this if not bad Luck?
Meanwhile, Edmund was having a drink with Yusuf in another private dining room. It was at this time that the waiter came back with the steak and told Edmund what Chelsea had said.
Yusuf spat out a mouthful of wine and coughed. Wiping his mouth with a serviette, he asked, “Tell me | didn’t hear him right. Did Chelsea really say that she doesn’t know you?”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
A peal of laughter echoed in the room the next second. Yusuf held his belly and Laughed hard for a Long time. Edmund could only stare at him coldly.
With a deep frown, Edmund asked the waiter, “Did she really say that she was allergic to beef and mutton?”
The waiter nodded vigorously. “Yes, sir. Having an allergy to beef and mutton isn’t very common. The mild symptom is the sudden appearance of red rashes all over the sufferer’s body. But if it was serious, the person could suffer a shock and almost die.”
The waiter’s words caused Edmund's face to freeze for a few seconds Yusuf, who had finally stopped Laughing, shot the waiter a glare
Why did the waiter have to say something like that? Did he intentionally want to make Edmund unhappy? This new revelation really made Edmund unhappy. He had been in a bad mood for the whole day. But now, it was worse In a bid to hide the emotion in his eyes, he lowered his head and played with the lighter in his hand.
Yusuf asked the waiter to put down the platter of steak and leave. He then lit a cigarette and began to smoke it. He leaned close to Edmund and asked with a teasing tone, “Why do you look so sad? You and Chelsea were married for three years. Did you really not know about her allergy?”
Edmund couldn’t bring himself to answer those questions. His mind transported him back to when he was still married to Chelsea. He remembered that beef and mutton were always served whenever he ate at home. They were his favorite, so Chelsea always cooked them.
What he didn’t know until today was that she was actually allergic to them. She had never told him about this. It was a slap in the face for him that he didn’t notice such an important detail about her. He realized that he had been blind to the things related to her well-being.
Orlando was at the peak of his career. The play that he acted with Zuri was currently being aired on TV. Every drama lover knew him. The media also wanted to get stories about him. If the paparazzi saw him with Chelsea in this restaurant, they would take dozens of photos of them and accompany them with deceptive headlines the next day. To prevent this from happening, Chelsea asked Orlando to leave first after dinner. She stayed in the private room for a while before leaving.
Much to her surprise, she saw the Last person she wanted to see as soon as she walked out of the restaurant. It was Edmund. He was standing on the roadside with Yusuf. Their appearance made it impossible for Chelsea to have missed them.
Edmund had ditched his suit jacket and tie at this time. He was now wearing only a white shirt and pants. The first two buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned. He looked like an arrogant but dashing king. Yusuf was wearing a floral shirt. He looked like an elegant, noble and unruly man.
