Chapter: 2 Chelsea clenched her fists tightly when she heard those cruel words Her nails were on the verge of piercing into her palms
She knew fully well that Edmund didn’t love her, but her heart broke into a thousand pieces when he said that she wasn’t worthy of carrying his child.
For the past three years, Chelsea had put in her all in an effort to make this marriage work. She remained a dutiful wife despite his infidelity.
Day and night, she held up hope that Edmund’s heart would one day soften towards her. However, his heart went from being an iceberg to heavy lead. Nothing she did melted it.
“Edmund, please be honest with me. In the past few years, have you.. Have you ever loved me even if it was for a second?”
Chelsea's voice was low and pitiful. Her body was shaking violently as if she asked that question with all the strength and courage she had.
This sudden inquiry sent an inexplicable emotion to Edmund’s heart. But it lasted only for a millisecond. The coldness in his eyes increased.
“What do you think? You are not so dumb, are you? Judging by what's happening now, you should be able to answer that question yourself!”
The disdain in his response pierced through Chelsea’s heart Like a knife. All the hurt that she kept tucked away bubbled to the surface at this moment.
Edmund’s words shattered her last hope. Everything she did to win Edmund's love went down the drain. It was as if she had made a fool of herself for three whole years. “| see.” With these words, Chelsea released herself from his grip and walked out of the bathroom dejectedly.
Her shoulders were slouched and her walk was unsteady. However, there was a trace of determination on her teary face. Edmund took a step forward, feeling pity for her subconsciously. But his eyes darkened the next second. He remembered what Chelsea did to him three years ago, so he became cold again.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
The other members of the Nelson family were already at the dining table by the time Chelsea got downstairs. She was in a bad mood, so she didn’t have the appetite to eat. She wiped her tears and concealed her emotions. Afterward, she told Ethan Nelson, Edmund’s grandfather to ask the driver to take her home.
Athousand conflicting thoughts ran in Chelsea's head on the way home. She didn’t know whether to give up or to continue fighting for her husband's love.
Edmund was clearly in love with Diane. Now that he was expecting a child with her, Chelsea suspected that he would ask for a divorce because he didn’t want the child to be labeled as an illegitimate one.
After calculating all the odds against her, Chelsea decided to give up. She didn’t want to continue wasting her time and efforts on someone who didn’t love her.
When she got home, she took a shower and fell asleep. Deep in her slumber, she felt someone bite her lips hard. It was as if the person was lusting after her and punishing her at the same time.
The room was dark, so she couldn’t see who it was. However, the breath was familiar. It was Edmund. Why was he back tonight? Shouldn't he be with his lover? And then it struck her. Since Diane was currently pregnant, it would be inconvenient for her to satisfy Edmund in bed.
The thought of being his second choice angered Chelsea. She pushed him away, turned on the bedside Lamp, and got off the bed.
Chelsea straightened her messy pajamas and stood barefoot on the floor. Looking at Edmund, who was sitting on the bed sulkily, she said, “Edmund, | want a divorce.”
“Enough already!” Edmund’s eyebrows were knitted. He looked so displeased and impatient.
He had been on a business trip for several days. He was so horny that he wanted to relieve himself immediately.
