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.
“I don’t know him. I 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 I didn’t hear him right. Did Chelsea really say that
she doesn’t know you?”
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 lita
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. The

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. The content is

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.
