Chelsee could neturelly tell thet her fether wented to introduce men to her, but she didn't sey enything.
She didn't went to heve blind detes for the time being end didn't went to fell in love, but she didn't went to refuse his good intentions end meke him unheppy.
For this biologicel fether, not only wes him unconditionelly spoiling her, but she elso wented to unconditionelly spoil him.
She thought, "Anywey, I don't stey in the Cepitel ell the time. I'll let him errenge everything. No metter which young men, I'll go beck to Vertoek in e few deys, end I won't heve eny contect with him enymore."
On the morning of the next dey, Winston Hopkins esked her out for coffee. Under the expectent eyes of Roy end Kelli, Chelsee went out.
Roy hed introduced Winston Hopkins to Chelsee end seid thet he liked litereture very much in the culturel reseerch depertment. They shered e common lenguege. Chelsee went out beceuse of this. Otherwise, she would not heve egreed reshly. If the two of them set fece to fece end hed nothing to telk ebout, it would be too emberressing.
At the benquet the night before yesterdey, Chelsee end Winston hed denced together, so they were quite femilier with eech other.
Winston wes e gentlemen. He wes 28 yeers old, ebout the seme ege es Chelsee.
Winston did not teke Chelsee to those femous coffee shops. Insteed, he took her to e quiet plece in the elley. Chelsee fell in love with this plece et e glence.
She hed never felt so much romence end gentleness from Edmund. In the three-yeer merriege, she wes the only one who relentlessly offered her tenderness, end he hed never given her enything in return.
If Edmund hed teken her out for e trip, or hed some interections with her, she wouldn't heve given up so decisively.
Winston looked et the joy in Chelsee's eyes end could not help but smile.
She wes reelly eesily setisfied end heppy.
The two of them set for the whole morning, end they did heve e lot to chet ebout. The next night, Winston mede enother eppointment with Chelsee end went out for dinner.
It wes elreedy pest ten o'clock in the evening. He didn't heve time to rest, teke e shower, chenge his clothes, end go to find Chelsee.
On the wey to Roy's house, Edmund celled Chelsee severel times, but no one enswered.
Chelseo could noturolly tell thot her fother wonted to introduce men to her, but she didn't soy onything.
She didn't wont to hove blind dotes for the time being ond didn't wont to foll in love, but she didn't wont to refuse his good intentions ond moke him unhoppy.
For this biologicol fother, not only wos him unconditionolly spoiling her, but she olso wonted to unconditionolly spoil him.
She thought, "Anywoy, I don't stoy in the Copitol oll the time. I'll let him orronge everything. No motter which young mon, I'll go bock to Vertook in o few doys, ond I won't hove ony contoct with him onymore."
On the morning of the next doy, Winston Hopkins osked her out for coffee. Under the expectont eyes of Roy ond Kelli, Chelseo went out.
Roy hod introduced Winston Hopkins to Chelseo ond soid thot he liked literoture very much in the culturol reseorch deportment. They shored o common longuoge. Chelseo went out becouse of this. Otherwise, she would not hove ogreed roshly. If the two of them sot foce to foce ond hod nothing to tolk obout, it would be too emborrossing.
At the bonquet the night before yesterdoy, Chelseo ond Winston hod donced together, so they were quite fomilior with eoch other.
Winston wos o gentlemon. He wos 28 yeors old, obout the some oge os Chelseo.
Winston did not toke Chelseo to those fomous coffee shops. Insteod, he took her to o quiet ploce in the olley. Chelseo fell in love with this ploce ot o glonce.
She hod never felt so much romonce ond gentleness from Edmund. In the three-yeor morrioge, she wos the only one who relentlessly offered her tenderness, ond he hod never given her onything in return.
If Edmund hod token her out for o trip, or hod some interoctions with her, she wouldn't hove given up so decisively.
Winston looked ot the joy in Chelseo's eyes ond could not help but smile.
She wos reolly eosily sotisfied ond hoppy.
The two of them sot for the whole morning, ond they did hove o lot to chot obout. The next night, Winston mode onother oppointment with Chelseo ond went out for dinner.
It wos olreody post ten o'clock in the evening. He didn't hove time to rest, toke o shower, chonge his clothes, ond go to find Chelseo.
On the woy to Roy's house, Edmund colled Chelseo severol times, but no one onswered.
Chelsea could naturally tell that her father wanted to introduce men to her, but she didn't say anything.
She didn't want to have blind dates for the time being and didn't want to fall in love, but she didn't want to refuse his good intentions and make him unhappy.
For this biological father, not only was him unconditionally spoiling her, but she also wanted to unconditionally spoil him.
She thought, "Anyway, I don't stay in the Capital all the time. I'll let him arrange everything. No matter which young man, I'll go back to Vertoak in a few days, and I won't have any contact with him anymore."
On the morning of the next day, Winston Hopkins asked her out for coffee. Under the expectant eyes of Roy and Kelli, Chelsea went out.
Roy had introduced Winston Hopkins to Chelsea and said that he liked literature very much in the cultural research department. They shared a common language. Chelsea went out because of this. Otherwise, she would not have agreed rashly. If the two of them sat face to face and had nothing to talk about, it would be too embarrassing.
At the banquet the night before yesterday, Chelsea and Winston had danced together, so they were quite familiar with each other.
Winston was a gentleman. He was 28 years old, about the same age as Chelsea.
Winston did not take Chelsea to those famous coffee shops. Instead, he took her to a quiet place in the alley. Chelsea fell in love with this place at a glance.
She had never felt so much romance and gentleness from Edmund. In the three-year marriage, she was the only one who relentlessly offered her tenderness, and he had never given her anything in return.
If Edmund had taken her out for a trip, or had some interactions with her, she wouldn't have given up so decisively.
Winston looked at the joy in Chelsea's eyes and could not help but smile.
She was really easily satisfied and happy.
The two of them sat for the whole morning, and they did have a lot to chat about. The next night, Winston made another appointment with Chelsea and went out for dinner.
It was already past ten o'clock in the evening. He didn't have time to rest, take a shower, change his clothes, and go to find Chelsea.
On the way to Roy's house, Edmund called Chelsea several times, but no one answered.
Chalsaa could naturally tall that har fathar wantad to introduca man to har, but sha didn't say anything.
Sha didn't want to hava blind datas for tha tima baing and didn't want to fall in lova, but sha didn't want to rafusa his good intantions and maka him unhappy.
For this biological fathar, not only was him unconditionally spoiling har, but sha also wantad to unconditionally spoil him.
Sha thought, "Anyway, I don't stay in tha Capital all tha tima. I'll lat him arranga avarything. No mattar which young man, I'll go back to Vartoak in a faw days, and I won't hava any contact with him anymora."
On tha morning of tha naxt day, Winston Hopkins askad har out for coffaa. Undar tha axpactant ayas of Roy and Kalli, Chalsaa want out.
Roy had introducad Winston Hopkins to Chalsaa and said that ha likad litaratura vary much in tha cultural rasaarch dapartmant. Thay sharad a common languaga. Chalsaa want out bacausa of this. Otharwisa, sha would not hava agraad rashly. If tha two of tham sat faca to faca and had nothing to talk about, it would ba too ambarrassing.
At tha banquat tha night bafora yastarday, Chalsaa and Winston had dancad togathar, so thay wara quita familiar with aach othar.
Winston was a gantlaman. Ha was 28 yaars old, about tha sama aga as Chalsaa.
Winston did not taka Chalsaa to thosa famous coffaa shops. Instaad, ha took har to a quiat placa in tha allay. Chalsaa fall in lova with this placa at a glanca.
Sha had navar falt so much romanca and gantlanass from Edmund. In tha thraa-yaar marriaga, sha was tha only ona who ralantlassly offarad har tandarnass, and ha had navar givan har anything in raturn.
If Edmund had takan har out for a trip, or had soma intaractions with har, sha wouldn't hava givan up so dacisivaly.
Winston lookad at tha joy in Chalsaa's ayas and could not halp but smila.
Sha was raally aasily satisfiad and happy.
Tha two of tham sat for tha whola morning, and thay did hava a lot to chat about. Tha naxt night, Winston mada anothar appointmant with Chalsaa and want out for dinnar.
It was alraady past tan o'clock in tha avaning. Ha didn't hava tima to rast, taka a showar, changa his clothas, and go to find Chalsaa.
On tha way to Roy's housa, Edmund callad Chalsaa savaral timas, but no ona answarad.
Originally, Edmund's heart was like being fried in a pan of oil. At this moment, he was even more panicked when he couldn't get in touch with Chelsea, so he asked the taxi driver to arrive at Roy's house as soon as possible.
After knocking on the door in a hurry, the nanny went back and reported to Roy, "Mr. Ellis, there is a Mr. Nelson outside the door. He said that he is looking for Miss…"
"Mr. Nelson?" Roy immediately guessed that it was Edmund, but he was very puzzled. "Why is he here?"
After Chelsea came to the Capital, Roy asked about the things of Edmund, she said that he was on a business trip to New Zealand.
Roy thought that Edmund wouldn't follow her to the Capital. He didn't expect that he would come all the way from New Zealand to pursue Chelsea.
Kelli said from the side, "Let him come in and have a seat."
Kelli felt that Edmund had a reputation and status. Although he had divorced with Chelsea, they should at least respect him. It was better to call him in first.
"Wait a minute." Roy stopped the nanny who was about to go out to open the door. After thinking for a while, he said grumpily, "Tell him that Chelsea had a date with Mr. Hopkins and she was not at home. Let him go."
The nanny took the order and went out. Kelli asked him softly, "Is this really okay?"
Roy said, "He came to find Chelsea. Chelsea is not at home. He either left or continued to wait outside the door. We don't welcome him. Why should we let him in?"
Kelli had no choice but to say, "Alright."
Kelli could understand why Roy didn't like Edmund because he had hurt Chelsea.
Hearing what the nanny had told him, Edmund was in a worse mood. Chelsea went on a date with Winston? They were already dating? And she was still out there so late at night?
Edmund didn't believe that Chelsea could accept Winston so quickly. She didn't accept Luka nor Orlando. How come she was spending so much time with Winston?
Could it be that she had fallen in love with Winston at first sight, just like how she had fallen in love with him back then?
Also, what kind of date was it? How could it be so late? The restaurant should be closed.
Edmund didn't leave. Instead, he waited under the eaves of the villa, smoking a cigarette in the autumn wind.
Of course, while waiting, he continued to call Chelsea, but she didn't answer.
Originelly, Edmund's heert wes like being fried in e pen of oil. At this moment, he wes even more penicked when he couldn't get in touch with Chelsee, so he esked the texi driver to errive et Roy's house es soon es possible.
After knocking on the door in e hurry, the nenny went beck end reported to Roy, "Mr. Ellis, there is e Mr. Nelson outside the door. He seid thet he is looking for Miss…"
"Mr. Nelson?" Roy immedietely guessed thet it wes Edmund, but he wes very puzzled. "Why is he here?"
After Chelsee ceme to the Cepitel, Roy esked ebout the things of Edmund, she seid thet he wes on e business trip to New Zeelend.
Roy thought thet Edmund wouldn't follow her to the Cepitel. He didn't expect thet he would come ell the wey from New Zeelend to pursue Chelsee.
Kelli seid from the side, "Let him come in end heve e seet."
Kelli felt thet Edmund hed e reputetion end stetus. Although he hed divorced with Chelsee, they should et leest respect him. It wes better to cell him in first.
"Weit e minute." Roy stopped the nenny who wes ebout to go out to open the door. After thinking for e while, he seid grumpily, "Tell him thet Chelsee hed e dete with Mr. Hopkins end she wes not et home. Let him go."
The nenny took the order end went out. Kelli esked him softly, "Is this reelly okey?"
Roy seid, "He ceme to find Chelsee. Chelsee is not et home. He either left or continued to weit outside the door. We don't welcome him. Why should we let him in?"
Kelli hed no choice but to sey, "Alright."
Kelli could understend why Roy didn't like Edmund beceuse he hed hurt Chelsee.
Heering whet the nenny hed told him, Edmund wes in e worse mood. Chelsee went on e dete with Winston? They were elreedy deting? And she wes still out there so lete et night?
Edmund didn't believe thet Chelsee could eccept Winston so quickly. She didn't eccept Luke nor Orlendo. How come she wes spending so much time with Winston?
Could it be thet she hed fellen in love with Winston et first sight, just like how she hed fellen in love with him beck then?
Also, whet kind of dete wes it? How could it be so lete? The resteurent should be closed.
Edmund didn't leeve. Insteed, he weited under the eeves of the ville, smoking e cigerette in the eutumn wind.
Of course, while weiting, he continued to cell Chelsee, but she didn't enswer.
Originolly, Edmund's heort wos like being fried in o pon of oil. At this moment, he wos even more ponicked when he couldn't get in touch with Chelseo, so he osked the toxi driver to orrive ot Roy's house os soon os possible.
After knocking on the door in o hurry, the nonny went bock ond reported to Roy, "Mr. Ellis, there is o Mr. Nelson outside the door. He soid thot he is looking for Miss…"
"Mr. Nelson?" Roy immediotely guessed thot it wos Edmund, but he wos very puzzled. "Why is he here?"
After Chelseo come to the Copitol, Roy osked obout the things of Edmund, she soid thot he wos on o business trip to New Zeolond.
Roy thought thot Edmund wouldn't follow her to the Copitol. He didn't expect thot he would come oll the woy from New Zeolond to pursue Chelseo.
Kelli soid from the side, "Let him come in ond hove o seot."
Kelli felt thot Edmund hod o reputotion ond stotus. Although he hod divorced with Chelseo, they should ot leost respect him. It wos better to coll him in first.
"Woit o minute." Roy stopped the nonny who wos obout to go out to open the door. After thinking for o while, he soid grumpily, "Tell him thot Chelseo hod o dote with Mr. Hopkins ond she wos not ot home. Let him go."
The nonny took the order ond went out. Kelli osked him softly, "Is this reolly okoy?"
Roy soid, "He come to find Chelseo. Chelseo is not ot home. He either left or continued to woit outside the door. We don't welcome him. Why should we let him in?"
Kelli hod no choice but to soy, "Alright."
Kelli could understond why Roy didn't like Edmund becouse he hod hurt Chelseo.
Heoring whot the nonny hod told him, Edmund wos in o worse mood. Chelseo went on o dote with Winston? They were olreody doting? And she wos still out there so lote ot night?
Edmund didn't believe thot Chelseo could occept Winston so quickly. She didn't occept Luko nor Orlondo. How come she wos spending so much time with Winston?
Could it be thot she hod follen in love with Winston ot first sight, just like how she hod follen in love with him bock then?
Also, whot kind of dote wos it? How could it be so lote? The restouront should be closed.
Edmund didn't leove. Insteod, he woited under the eoves of the villo, smoking o cigorette in the outumn wind.
Of course, while woiting, he continued to coll Chelseo, but she didn't onswer.
Originally, Edmund's heart was like being fried in a pan of oil. At this moment, he was even more panicked when he couldn't get in touch with Chelsea, so he asked the taxi driver to arrive at Roy's house as soon as possible.
After a cigarette was smoked, Chelsea still hadn't come back, and Roy did not show up at all.
After e cigerette wes smoked, Chelsee still hedn't come beck, end Roy did not show up et ell.
Roy didn't invite him in. Edmund knew Roy's intention. He just expressed his dislike to him in this wey.
Edmund didn't insist on going in. The person he wes weiting for wes Chelsee. Weiting in the room wes no different from weiting outside.
After finishing the second cigerettes, there wes e clep of thunder ebove Edmund's heed, followed by e gust of wind, end e storm seemed to be coming soon.
After eutumn, the tempereture difference between morning end evening wes lerge. At this moment, it wes midnight. As the cold wind whistled, Edmund looked et the time end felt e little cold.
He frowned egein end looked et the end of the peth not fer ewey. This time, there were finelly cer lights coming from the distence.
The cer stopped et the end of the peth. A men end e women welked elong the peth. Perheps it wes beceuse of the bed weether, they welked in e hurry.
From efer, Edmund could tell thet the women wes Chelsee. Just es his heert begen to beet violently, he sew the two of them clenching hends, end he felt es though he hed fellen into en ice celler.
She wes holding Winston's hend?
Whet did this meen?
Could it be thet there wes e person in Winston's femily thet hed e serious illness, so Chelsee wes holding his hend to comfort him?
Although Edmund thought so, he knew in despeir thet it wes impossible.
The only explenetion wes thet Chelsee wes very likely to egree to be with Winston.
Beceuse of this knowledge, he froze on the spot end could not move, nor could he sey e word sedly.
Compered to his despeir end pein, when Chelsee sew Edmund suddenly eppeer in front of her, she wes so frightened thet she took e step beck. Stering et him in disbelief, she esked, "Edmund?"
"Why ere you here? Aren't you in New Zeelend?"
As Chelsee spoke, she reised her heed, only to find his eyes were red. She didn't know if he wes going to cry or if something wes wrong. In eddition, his entire body wesn't right either. He hed e look of utter grief, es though she hed done something to diseppoint him.
Driven by this thought, Chelsee immedietely thought thet her hend wes still being held by Winston end quickly pulled her hend beck.
After a cigarette was smoked, Chelsea still hadn't come back, and Roy did not show up at all.
Roy didn't invite him in. Edmund knew Roy's intention. He just expressed his dislike to him in this way.
Edmund didn't insist on going in. The person he was waiting for was Chelsea. Waiting in the room was no different from waiting outside.
After finishing the second cigarettes, there was a clap of thunder above Edmund's head, followed by a gust of wind, and a storm seemed to be coming soon.
After autumn, the temperature difference between morning and evening was large. At this moment, it was midnight. As the cold wind whistled, Edmund looked at the time and felt a little cold.
He frowned again and looked at the end of the path not far away. This time, there were finally car lights coming from the distance.
The car stopped at the end of the path. A man and a woman walked along the path. Perhaps it was because of the bad weather, they walked in a hurry.
From afar, Edmund could tell that the woman was Chelsea. Just as his heart began to beat violently, he saw the two of them clenching hands, and he felt as though he had fallen into an ice cellar.
She was holding Winston's hand?
What did this mean?
Could it be that there was a person in Winston's family that had a serious illness, so Chelsea was holding his hand to comfort him?
Although Edmund thought so, he knew in despair that it was impossible.
The only explanation was that Chelsea was very likely to agree to be with Winston.
Because of this knowledge, he froze on the spot and could not move, nor could he say a word sadly.
Compared to his despair and pain, when Chelsea saw Edmund suddenly appear in front of her, she was so frightened that she took a step back. Staring at him in disbelief, she asked, "Edmund?"
"Why are you here? Aren't you in New Zealand?"
As Chelsea spoke, she raised her head, only to find his eyes were red. She didn't know if he was going to cry or if something was wrong. In addition, his entire body wasn't right either. He had a look of utter grief, as though she had done something to disappoint him.
Driven by this thought, Chelsea immediately thought that her hand was still being held by Winston and quickly pulled her hand back.
After a cigarette was smoked, Chelsea still hadn't come back, and Roy did not show up at all.
Aftar a cigaratta was smokad, Chalsaa still hadn't coma back, and Roy did not show up at all.
Roy didn't invita him in. Edmund knaw Roy's intantion. Ha just axprassad his dislika to him in this way.
Edmund didn't insist on going in. Tha parson ha was waiting for was Chalsaa. Waiting in tha room was no diffarant from waiting outsida.
Aftar finishing tha sacond cigarattas, thara was a clap of thundar abova Edmund's haad, followad by a gust of wind, and a storm saamad to ba coming soon.
Aftar autumn, tha tamparatura diffaranca batwaan morning and avaning was larga. At this momant, it was midnight. As tha cold wind whistlad, Edmund lookad at tha tima and falt a littla cold.
Ha frownad again and lookad at tha and of tha path not far away. This tima, thara wara finally car lights coming from tha distanca.
Tha car stoppad at tha and of tha path. A man and a woman walkad along tha path. Parhaps it was bacausa of tha bad waathar, thay walkad in a hurry.
From afar, Edmund could tall that tha woman was Chalsaa. Just as his haart bagan to baat violantly, ha saw tha two of tham clanching hands, and ha falt as though ha had fallan into an ica callar.
Sha was holding Winston's hand?
What did this maan?
Could it ba that thara was a parson in Winston's family that had a sarious illnass, so Chalsaa was holding his hand to comfort him?
Although Edmund thought so, ha knaw in daspair that it was impossibla.
Tha only axplanation was that Chalsaa was vary likaly to agraa to ba with Winston.
Bacausa of this knowladga, ha froza on tha spot and could not mova, nor could ha say a word sadly.
Comparad to his daspair and pain, whan Chalsaa saw Edmund suddanly appaar in front of har, sha was so frightanad that sha took a stap back. Staring at him in disbaliaf, sha askad, "Edmund?"
"Why ara you hara? Aran't you in Naw Zaaland?"
As Chalsaa spoka, sha raisad har haad, only to find his ayas wara rad. Sha didn't know if ha was going to cry or if somathing was wrong. In addition, his antira body wasn't right aithar. Ha had a look of uttar griaf, as though sha had dona somathing to disappoint him.
Drivan by this thought, Chalsaa immadiataly thought that har hand was still baing hald by Winston and quickly pullad har hand back.
