Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 57

A short while after Fay left, Diane came out of another elevator. She had gone downstairs to fetch something.

She was well dressed. There was an expression on her face that made her look as if she was worried. But it was nothing but a ruse.

Yusuf didn't want to talk to her. So he kept quiet. Nonetheless, she spoke to him. "Thanks for paying Edmund a visit, Yusuf."

When he heard what she said, he nodded his head slightly and knocked on the door of the ward.

A couple of seconds after both of them walked in, Diane brought out the breakfast she had prepared from the food box.

"Wow, Diane! You are such a virtuous woman." Yusuf leaned against the end of Edmund's bed lazily and paid her a compliment smilingly. "How good of you to fix something to eat. Can I have some, please?"

His question caught her unawares. But she grinned and said, "You've got many people to cook for you, don't you?"

While they were outside the ward just a moment ago, Diane was polite to Yusuf because she had an ulterior motive.

She didn't want to be photographed behaving in a discourteous manner.

Deep in her heart she wished he hadn't come to the hospital. That way, she could be alone with Edmund.

It wasn't a common occurrence for Edmund to stay away from work due to ill health. She wanted to make the most of the situation by spending time with him.

After giving much thought to the state of their relationship in the past year, she concluded that there was no meaningful progress.

According to her analysis, Edmund was always busy doing one thing or the other. As a result, he spent most of his time in meetings or business trips. At some point, she was also preoccupied with work.

To her surprise, Edmund said in a calm voice, "Yusuf and I have work-related issues to talk about. You can go back now. Thanks for coming to me."

This made Diane very upset. But she had to comport herself gracefully. So she stood up and picked her bag.

"Okay, I'll be on my way then. But you must eat all the food I cooked. And do not overwork yourself. Is that clear?"

"Yes, it is." Edmund nodded his head.

"I'm sorry, Diane," Yusuf said, waving his hand at Diane. "I'll treat you to dinner another day to express my apology."

Why would she want to eat with a playboy like him?

Nothing about Yusuf fascinated her. So she turned around and left.

To her, Edmund was the best. He had kept his chastity for years.

It wasn't in his nature to be with a woman casually, except for Chelsea. That shameless wretch who had climbed into his bed.

The mere mention of her name made Diane gnash her teeth.

She was so much of a thorn in Diane's heart that she couldn't be gotten rid of, even after divorcing Edmund.

Chelsea came back and became a scriptwriter. She joined the Nelson Group's filming project.

After checking Chelsea's resume, Diane found out that she had been an excellent student. Eugene was also her tutor.

From the look of things, she definitely wasn't as worthless as Diane thought she was. This displeased her a great deal.

What was she going to do now?

Some reporters were standing in front of the gate of the hospital. And Diane would have to face them. In order not to appear stressed, she inhaled and exhaled deeply several times. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

After Diane left, Yusuf put his long legs on the railing at the end of the bed.

He glanced at Edmund and said, "I heard from Chris that you had a stomach ache because of Chelsea last night?"

"Don't you have anything else to do but gossip about me all day?" Edmund replied. Then he put the food back on the table.

Unexpectedly, Yusuf began to comfort him. "Chelsea said she had never loved you. I am pretty sure that she wasn't telling the truth. We all saw how affectionate she was towards you in the past three years."

He thought that Edmund must have felt the love as well.
