“Thanks.”
Edmund let go of her. After taking a deep breath, he asked seriously “Please be honest with me, Chelsea. Did you divorce me because of that fake pregnancy test result?”
Without waiting for a response, he added, “Nothing happened betweenand Diane. | never slept with her while we were dating, let alone after | got married to you. More so, | haven’t touched her after our divorce.”
Edmund had only intended to tell Chelsea that he hadn’t been sexually intimate with Diane during their marriage.
He didn’t know when he blurted out the entire truth. A strange urge drove him to say everything. It was almost as if he was afraid that she wouldn't take his word for it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtChelsea was a little surprised when she heard his words. He had dated Diane for a Long time. How che didn’t have sex with her?
Anyway, that was beside the point. Chelsea looked at him and said calmly, “You don’t get it, Edmund.” “What don’t | get? Please explain,” Edmund uttered with confusion written all over his face.
Chelsea held her chest and explained sadly, “I didn’t divorce you because of external interference or whatever you had been going with Diane. | did it because you didn’t love me.“
Turning to look at the sea, she added calmly, “Do you remember? On the day of your grandpa’s birthday party, he urged you to have a baby with me. You said | wasn’t worthy of carrying your child. You even said why you should have a baby with a woman you didn’t Love. Do you renenber?”
Color drained from Edmund's face. His expression froze instantly. He remembered saying all that. At that time, he thought Chelsea had incited his grandfather to put pressure on him to have a baby. He thought she wanted to seal her position as his wife by bearing him a child.
It wasn’t until she resolutely asked for a divorce and gave up the position of Mrs. Nelson did he realize that he was totally wrong.
Still staring at the sea, Chelsea added in a bitter voice, “My heart is not made of stone, Edmund. I’m human Like everyone else. What you said that day was the last straw that broke the camel’s back. | was so heartbroken that | decided to divorce you. Just so we are clear, | divorced you because of how you treated me, not because of the actions of outsiders.”
The fact that Edmund hadn’t figured this out meant he still couldn’t acknowledge his faults.
He still expected everyone to love and obey him unconditionally. Silence was the only response Chelsea got from him after she finished speaking.
Unwilling to stay any Longer, Chelsea took off his jacket and handed it to him. She then asked, “Can | leave now?”
She had explained why she divorced him. There was no need to drag on. Moving on was what Chelsea had in mind. She was going to leave her painful past and see if she could meet the right man. She decided not to love any man unless he loved her first.
Without taking back his jacket, Edmund asked, “Why didn’t you informafter you found out that the pregnancy test result was fake?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShrugging indifferently, Chelsea replied with alienation, “Of what good would that have been? We were already divorced. Besides, you would have accusedof slandering Diane and trying to get back into your Life.”
Edmund always treated Diane like a queen while he discarded Chelsea like a filthy rag. As a result, she had reasoned that he would call her a liar if she ever brought that matter up.
Chelsea was done with this conversation. She put the jacket on one of his hands and started walking away.
“Wait!” Edmund shouted, following her. He held her arm and said with difficulty, “Chelsea, I’m so sorry.”
Chelsea hadn’t expected Edmund would suddenly apologize. But she calmly accepted. “It’s okay, | forgive you.”
After saying that, she asked him, “Can you takeback to the banquet now?”
Chelsea’s nonchalance made the walls of composure of Edmund crack faster than he could do anything about it.
