Chapter: 18
Only the wearer knows where the shoe pinches.
Meanwhile, Chelsea wasn’t in a good mood as she sat in the backseat of the
Uber. There was a weird tightness in her chest. She felt depressed not because
she bumped into Edmund again, but because he had been so arrogant.
The way he spoke to her reminded her of all the bullshit she had endured all
those years. What did Edmund think of her? Did he think that she still cared
about him?
How ridiculous!
Chelsea scoffed at the thought. She used to think she couldn’t Live without him.
But after spending a year abroad, she was more than convinced that she was
better off without him. Her mental health had greatly improved once she was out
of that toxic environment.
It turned out that no one’s happiness and survival were actually tied to someone
else. At least, not Chelsea’s.
Chelsea was a scriptwriter. As a result, she could work from home and only
needed to go to the office when there was a general meeting or when she
needed to explain something to others. She worked on the new script in the
comfort of her home and at her convenience.
The next morning, Chelsea went to the shopping mall to buy a gift for Ethan.
Cutting all ties with Edmund included not talking to his grandfather. But while she
was abroad, Ethan kept in touch with her. He asked about her well-being
whenever he called. This kind gesture made it impossible for Chelsea to ignore
him.
Due to his old age, Ethan suffered from neck pain. He always stayed in an air-
conditioned home during summer. Chelsea thought it wise to get him a fluffy scarf
that would keep his neck warm.
She entered a men’s clothing store. On her way to the scarfs section, she
stopped dead in her tracks. Edmund was in front of her again!
“For Pete’s sake!” Chelsea cursed under her breath. She believed that she was
indeed unlucky.
As always, Edmund looked dashing in what he had on. The women in the shop
were stealing glances at him and whispering to themselves excitedly.
He was here this early to get a birthday gift for Ethan. The old man’s birthday was
a few days ago. But Edmund was on a business trip at that time.
Edmund never had to worry about preparing a birthday gift for Ethan while he
was still married to Chelsea. She always saw to it that Ethan got a thoughtful gift.
This year, he had to do it himself.
His grandfather had invited him over for Lunch. Edmund tried to turn down the
invite on the basis that he had a business appointment at noon. However, Ethan
wasn’t having it. He ordered him to be home no matter what. Thus, Edmund
thought it wise to take a gift along.
Chelsea pretended not to see him. She walked to a shelf to select a scarf.
Edmund watched her for a while. He then abandoned what he was doing and
walked to her side. He remarked mockingly, “Well, well, well. It seems someone
still has a bad fashion sense.”
Edmund didn’t know why he was behaving this way. He also didn’t know why he
was now standing next to her. It was as if an unknown force had pulled him to
her. When he saw that Chelsea was earnestly trying to select a scarf, he
reasoned that she was getting it for Orlando, who she had dinner with the night
before.

The thought of how she had already
moved on with another man while
ignoring him caused inexplicable
rage to surge up in his heart. He
could only speak to her in that
manner to vent his anger. The

Turning a deaf ear to that insulting statement, Chelsea pursed her Lips and
looked down at the brown plaid scarf in her hand.
Flashy scarfs weren’t for old men like Ethan. This simple one was suitable for
him. But Edmund criticized her without knowing who she was getting it for.

as Edmund’s wife. She always tried
to help him pick out his clothes.
However, Edmund never appreciated
her efforts. He always called her

In Chelsea’s opinion, her fashion

sense wasn’t bad. She knew this
because she often helped Zuri
choose the perfect dresses for her
award ceremonies. No fashion critic

these dresses. Zuri’s fans also
