Capítulo 975
Chelsea didn’t answer. Edmund grabbed her phone from her hand and refused coldly, “No, thanks. We’ll have it in the hotel. Then we’ll go back.”
Alena stiffened on the other end of the line and muttered, “I see.
Edmund was so cold and aggressive that Alena couldn’t utter any word to keep them staying. Seeing that she was silent, Edmund directly hung up the call.
Chelsea approached and asked gently, “Shall we… have Lunch with your mother?”
Chelsea didn’t take the initiative to flatter Alena. She suggested it for Edmund’s good.
Alena was his birth mother, so he shouldn’t keep such an awkward relationship with her.
Edmund refused, “No.” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Chelsea asked in a helpless tone, “Didn’t you promise to be obedient to me in everything?”
Edmund was wordless.

Tugging his hand, she said, “I know you are unwilling to be with her
You are afraid she’ll give me a hard time as before. I can tell she has changed. It won’t happen.”
Edmund cast down his eyes, keeping silent.
In fact, he was indeed worried that Alena would give Chelsea a hard time again. However, it wasn’t the key reason he had a poor relationship with Alena. He had a knot in his heart because of Sonya’s death. He didn’t think he could forgive Alena shortly.
Edmund looked up at Chelsea and said honestly, “I haven’t been mentally ready for that. I’ll take a rain check, OK?”
“OK.” Chelsea didn’t insist. She respected Edmund’s decision After getting up and tidying up, the two went to the hotel restaurant for breakfast. Then they called the driver and the Lawyer to return to town.
On the way, Chelsea asked Edmund to call Alena.
“Have you seen Tara White’s statement online? Since she has apologized, Let the bygones be bygones. Enjoy your retirement.”
“I know. Thank you, Edmund. Please send my appreciation to Chelsea, too. Thank you guys for driving here and helping me deal with this matter last night.” Unconcealed disappointment filled Alena’s tone. However, she still thanked them sincerely.
“Be careful when driving back,” she reminded. Edmund hung up his call. Alena pinched her phone, sitting in her Living room. She stared at the blue sea outside the window, her eyes reddening.
For many years, this was the first time she regretted her words and behaviors before when she tried hard to separate Edmund from Chelsea.
If she had been a kind mother-in-law, would her relationship with her son have been better than the current one? If her daughter, Sonya, had been taken care of by her brother and sister-in-law, she wouldn’t have passed away so young, wouldn’t she?
Thinking about her latest daughter, who had died miserably, Alena burst into tears.
She regretted it. Indeed.

In the office, Trevor gazed at the document in his hands, and then he looked up at the Lawyer in a suit opposite. After a long while, he uttered a few words, “Does she want to divorce?”
