NovelEnglishChapter 21
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, | 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.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtChelsea 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, | 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 sminutes 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?

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, | like Chelsea very much. I’ve taken her as my granddaughter, so | 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 becsiblings. Don’t you think that’s inappropriate?” Edmund asked seriously, dropping his spoon.
With an indifferent expression, Ethan answered, “You aren’t related by blood, so you both can’t be siblings just because | take Chelsea as my granddaughter. | just feel sorry for her. Life has been cruel to her. Not only did she have a bad husband, but she also has a bad father and brother. As her grandfather, | will look out for her and make sure her life becomes better.”
Edmund's heart ached. His grandfather had just poked jabs at him for Chelsea’s sake. He couldn’t help but wonder if this old man was actually his grandfather because he was always taking Chelsea’s side.
Memories of all that happened in the past swept through Ethan’s mind at this time. He sighed and said with guilt, “It’s all my fault that she got hurt. If | hadn’t forced you to marry her, she would have been married to a better man that loves her by now. It’s so sad that she had to waste three years of her life on you.”
Again, Ethan wasn’t taking Edmund's feelings into consideration. Edmund and Chelsea had wasted their time, but he only thought about the latter.
