Chapter: 21
Edmund was speechless as he stared at her stubborn face.
He almost couldn’t recognize the woman in front of him. Never did he think that
she was this stubborn.
Chelsea had never lost her temper while they were married. She always did
whatever he said obediently. She never went against him except for when she
asked for a divorce.
As the two of them stared at each other dead in the eyes, the gate of the villa
was opened and a car drove out.
“Miss Williams, I was ordered to take you back home,” Ethan’s driver said to
Chelsea, craning his neck out of the window. He then said to Edmund, “Mr.
Nelson, your grandfather said you should go back in to have Lunch with him.”
Chelsea hurriedly got into the car and shut the door as if she was running away
from a dreadful monster. She didn’t even say goodbye to Edmund.
The driver nodded to Edmund and drove away. Edmund stood still and watched
the car disappear down the hilly road.
It wasn’t until the car went out of sight that Edmund finally returned to the villa.
Once he sat down at the table, Ethan went straight to the point. “Have you set a
wedding date?”
The wedding in question was the one between Edmund and Diane. Since
Edmund and Chelsea got divorced, she had been in and out of the family house
as if she was already married to the family.
Although Edmund was yet to formally propose marriage to Diane, the public
knew that both families were on good terms. The rumor about them getting
married was already spreading in the city.
The media reported about them often. And this was Diane’s handiwork. She had
bribed many reporters to make sure that her relationship with Edmund was
always in the news. She also started the rumor about the so-called wedding.
“No, I haven’t,” Edmund replied with a slight frown.
“What are you waiting for? A year was enough for you to get your act together.
You need to get married as soon as possible!” Ethan ordered seriously.
Edmund’s eyebrows knitted as he stared at his grandfather in confusion. Ethan
was the only person in this household that disliked Diane. He always gave her
the cold shoulder no matter what she did to please him. Only some minutes ago,
he had said that he wouldn’t accept her as his granddaughter-in-law.
Why did Ethan suddenly change his mind? Was he now prepared to accept
Diane into the family?
Under his grandson’s confused gaze, Ethan picked up a piece of beef and slowly
ate it. He then remarked, “Don’t look at me like that. Once you get remarried, I
will introduce a good man to Chelsea. She deserves happiness.”
Edmund almost spat out a mouthful of soup. He coughed and asked, “What do
you mean, Grandpa?”
“Isn’t it obvious? In case you don’t know, I like Chelsea very much. I’ve taken her
as my granddaughter, so I want to find her a suitor who would take good care of
her. This is very important,” Ethan explained and snorted.
The serious look on his face made Edmund a little restless.
“Grandpa, how can you take my ex-wife as your granddaughter? That
automatically means we have become siblings. Don’t you think that’s
inappropriate?” Edmund asked seriously, dropping his spoon.

Again, Ethan wasn’t taking Edmund’s feelings into consideration. Edmund and
Chelsea had wasted their time, but he only thought about the latter.
