Chapter 238
Chelsea called her best friend to inform her of the news.
When Zuri heard it, she was even more excited than Chelsea. She kept screaming on the phone. "Whoa! You are the best, girl! You went to Norrmalm and got a famous godfather. I'm so proud of you! Let's see if Diane would dare to bully you again in the future. She'd be doomed if she tries it!"
Philip didn't come close to Roy in terms of power and reputation.
Chelsea sighed with distress.
Sensing her friend's mood, Zuri asked with concern, "Why did you sigh like that? Don't tell me you think you don't deserve it. Of course, you do! Why do you think Roy and his wife chose you to be their goddaughter? It must be because you are a good young woman. Stop selling yourself short!"
Zuri gritted her teeth and added, "Edmund is such a horrible man. He trampled on you so much that it affected your self-esteem. Listen to me, Chelsea. You are the most gentle and talented girl in the world. You deserve every good thing, including becoming Roy's goddaughter. Don't let anything or anyone make you believe otherwise, okay?"
Zuri showered praises on her friend.
Chelsea was amused.
Holding her head up high, she said jokingly, "Yeah, I am the most beautiful and talented woman in the world!"
"That's what I am talking about! You need to be more confident from now on," Zuri uttered, snapping her fingers with excitement.
Chelsea used to be the most beautiful and talented girl while they were in college. Her confidence was out of this world. No one could trample on her. But that changed after she became Edmund's wife. Her confidence was reduced to nothing because of him.
"Thank you, Zuri," Chelsea said softly.
Her mood was uplifted now that she heard those words of affirmation.
"Come on, girl! You don't have to thank me. Anyway, don't forget your best friend when you become rich in the future."
Chelsea crossed her heart and promised. "I'll never forget you. One day, I'll write a story about you. Thank you for being the best friend a girl could ever ask for!"
She couldn't imagine how her life would be without Zuri. She had only been able to pull through despite the many things she faced because of Zuri's support.
"Really?" Zuri was so excited. But the next second, she became sad. "What if I don't have a happy ending with Colin? How will the story end?"
"Not to worry, your story will have a happy ending even if you don't end up with the love of your life. Hopefully, you both end up together. That way, I will just write it in all honesty. Let's keep our hopes up, okay?"
The idea of writing a story about Zuri had come to Chelsea a long time ago. But she was yet to carry it out.
While she was still in that shackle called marriage, she was depressed every day, so she didn't have the zeal to write most times.
Now that she was happier, she didn't have the time because she was busy working on two scripts. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
She vowed to start writing the story once she got time to do so.
She knew all about what transpired between Zuri and Colin, so writing the story would be a piece of cake.
Should Zuri and Colin end up together, it would be said that their love was undying since they loved each other since high school.
This kind of love story was the plot of many of the movies and plays that were aired nowadays. If the story was adapted into a movie, she would ask Zuri to be the heroine.
"I love you so much, Chelsea!" Zuri declared happily.
She looked forward to seeing her story put into writing. The thought of it alone made her heart leap with joy.
Chelsea had a good night's sleep.
At the crack of dawn, she got out of bed. She was about to reply Roy when she received two unexpected guests.
It was Edmund's parents! Jaime and Alena didn't look good.
Especially Alena, who looked away with disdain after Chelsea answered the door. She pretended as if she didn't see Chelsea at all.
Chelsea sneered at them and was about to slam the door in their faces.
But when she remembered that it was immoral to do such a thing to elders, she refrained from it.
Jaime's attitude was a little better than his wife's. He uttered, "Good morning, Chelsea. Please can you invite us in? We have something important to discuss with you."
Chelsea reluctantly made way for them. She didn't need anyone to tell her that these two came here to discuss the lawsuit she filed against Sonya.
She was a little willing to hear what they had to say. There was a high chance that they might defend their stubborn daughter as Philip did for Diane.
After they got in, Chelsea shut the door. Her phone suddenly rang as she was about to join them.
It was Edmund.
"Hello, my parents are on their way to your home. Don't open the door for them. Just wait for me," he said in a worried tone as soon as she picked up.
Chelsea glanced at the couple, who had already sat down on the sofa, and replied, "Well, I already allowed them in."
"Fuck!" Edmund cursed. He then added, "You know what? Don't say a word to them. I'll be there in five minutes!"
Chelsea rolled her eyes. She then replied, "You don't have to come over. This is none of your business."
Edmund kept silent for a while and suddenly raised his voice. "How is it none of my business? Those two are my parents! Besides, I said I want you back, so it's my duty to protect you. I'm coming over!"
Edmund couldn't allow his parents to be in the same airspace as Chelsea. They were bullies, so he decided to rush over to her residence once he found out they were on their way there. He wanted to protect her. Why did she ask him not to come?
Chelsea's blood boiled at this moment.
"Edmund, you had your chance to protect me, but you didn't. Stay out of my business. I have got this!" she said in a clipped tone and hung up.
At the time Edmund was supposed to protect her, he sided with her oppressors.
Now that she was no longer his wife and had the support of a powerful man like Roy, he was offering his help. To hell with him!
"The nerve of this bitch," Alena cursed under her breath, murdering Chelsea with her eyes from the living room.
Chelsea had just spoken rudely to her son. Worse still, she hung up on him.
How dare she speak to Edmund in such a reproachful tone?
Just when Alena was about to get up to give Chelsea a piece of her mind, Jaime held her down.
He knew that there was a line they couldn't cross now that Chelsea was no longer their daughter-in- law.
