Infatuated with my Ex-wife novel Chapter 52

At four in the afternoon,Edward rushed to Millicent's house at four in the afternoon right after his meeting.

When Edward arrivrd, Irene hadn't woken up yet and slept very tight. He really didn't want to disturb her. She probably didn't sleep well yesterday. He could still see the faint shadow under her eyes.

"Mr. Wilson, can I have a talk with you?" Millicent asked. She had something that she had to clarify for Irene.

Edward nodded, closed the door, and went out with Millicent.

In the living room,  Millicent politely handed him a cup of  coffee.

Of course, Edward guessed she would ask him some questions for Irene. "You are Irene's friend. You don't need to call me Mr. Wilson. Edward will do."

Millicent smiled and nodded, "Well, Edward, do you know that Irene went to the company to find you this morning?"

Edward nodded. He didn't know why she came but then left.

"So you must know that Irene left after she waited for a while."

Millicent stared at Edward coldly. The chill aura of her made him feel that he had never known her before.

"I know," said Edward. He was puzzled as well.

"And, you did go to Celine's house last night,right?" This was more like a statement, not a question.

When Edward heard the words "Celine", he frowned and asked, "How do you know?"

Millicent snorted, "It seems to be true."

Edward couldn't hold it anymore, and his tone was a little urgent. "Was this the reason why she came and left, turned off her phone and didn't go home?"

"Do you know how much Irene loves you? I do not want to know why you quarreled with her, but..." Millicent was silent for a few seconds. "You have already been with  her. You shouldn't get involved with other women again."

Edward took a deep breath and said seriously, "I haven't done anything wrong to Irene. Something is very complicated. I will explain it to her later."

Millicent nodded. "I hope you won't make her sad this time. You've been with her for so long, so you should know her personality. If you betray her, she'll definitely turn to leave you. She's someone who holds her principles. You'll never be able to have her again if you lose her. You should know this."

Edward knew that Irene was a stubborn woman.

...

When Irene woke up, she saw that Edward sitting on the bed. He looked at her and said in delight, "Irene, you're awake."

"Edward?" Irene asked tentatively but her eyes are still closed.

"It's me," Edward said softly, touching the corner of her mouth . "I am sorry, I was too impulsive last night. I should not be... angry with you."

What had happened yesterday and this morning came into Irene's mind. She slapped Edward's hand away with great force. She was very angry.

"I turned my phone off this morning because I couldn't focus on my work and I couldn't help but call you. And then I go out hurrily because of urgency, so I forgot it in the office."

Irene snorted and turned her head away, unwilling to look at him.

"Also last night—" As soon as he mentioned last night, Irene's face changes even more, but she still listened to him, "I did go to Celine's house, but I didn't stay there the whole night. I just made sure of something with her."

Irene turned her head and stared at Edward. "What's that?"

When Irene finally consented to speak to him, Edward was happy. He was not afraid that she would be angry, but he was afraid that she would be cold to him. "Are you jealous?" Edward joked.

Irene denied it immediately. "I'm not jealous at all."

"It was so shameful to admit that I'm jealous." Irene thought to herself.

"Well, well, well. you’re not jealous. I've always been jealous and overbearing. I'm a possessive man. I don't like you to be with anyone other than me. I went to Celine's house just to ask about the photos."

"Photos?" Irene could not help but ask, "What photos?"

Edward took out his cell phone. There were two photos. One was on the day she was in the hospital and the other was on the day she was on the exhibition. The common thing was that she and Elio were together, and the angle of the photos made them look intimate.

No wonder Edward was angry. It turned out that someone had been sending him some ambiguous photos.

It was clear that everything was done by Celine to make them argue.

"I asked Harry to check the person and found out he was keeping in a touch with Celine. So I went to her house last night and told her stop doing anything like that anymore." After he finished, he glared at Irene. "I had absolutely nothing to do with her."

Everything was clear.

Irene stretched out her hand and leaned on Edward's chest. "That's clear. You should know that there is nothing between me and Elio!"

Edward held her hands tightly and looked at her from a distance. He knew there was nothing between her and Elio. Elio's eyes and actions showed that he liked Irene,but the woman in his arms did not know it.

Edward whispered, "I believe you, then you should also believe that there is nothing between Celine and me."

However, Irene remained silent.

"Don't you believe me?" Edward asked.

"You two used to have a love affair before we became together. Even if I am with you now, I am still afraid that you will leave me because of her?" These words were mixed with her tears and sorrow.

Edward lifted Irene's head up to look at him. 

Then he raised his eyebrows,said, "I did not fall in love with her before, and the child was also an accident. I was never in love with her in the past, and I wouldn't be in the future." There was a certain worry in Edward's tone.
