Infatuated with my Ex-wife novel Chapter 37

When Irene woke up, her pillow was still slightly warm. She thought that Edward shouldn’t have gone too long. Yesterday's shopping was really too tired. Besides, pregnant woman were physically weak sometimes and prone to drowsiness, so she finally fell asleep.

Although she was asleep and her memory wasn’t very clear, she seemed to hear the three words. He whispered in her ear, "I love you."

Thinking of this, Irene felt sweet in his heart.

When she went downstairs to have breakfast, Irene was surprised to find that Edward didn’t go to the company, but sat at the table to have breakfast.

Seeing Irene coming downstairs, Edward immediately stood up and strode over. He gently put his right hand around Irene's waist. "Why are you awake so early? Why not sleep for longer?"

Irene sat Edward's side. "Although pregnant women is prone to drowsiness, I can't lie on the bed 24 hours a day! It's not bad to get up early and breathe fresh air."

Edward thought about it and agreed, so he asked the servants to serve the breakfast specially prepared for pregnant women.

At the sight of the bowl of unknown things before her, Irene got a headache. She rubbed her middle brows and said wearily. "So, what the h*ll is this?"

The paint was crystal clear and was filled with white porcelain bowls. On the small dish beside it were some cold dishes. It looked exquisite. But she really didn't have much appetite.

"The pumpkin jujube porridge was specially made in the kitchen for pregnant women. It's very good for you."Edward gently said with a bit of ingratiation in his magnetic voice. Because he could see that she wasn’t willing to eat it. "Irene, even if you eat some, you don't have to eat too much."

"Well, Mr. Wilson, I will eat." Irene's heart warmed to see how kind and considerate he was. Although she did not want to eat, she took the spoon and chewed slowly. It was not as sweet and moderate as she had imagined, so she was not so repulsive.

Seeing this, Edward held his chin with his left hand and looked at Irene as if he was admiring a painting. He was somewhat fascinated. He couldn’t help thinking that in the past five years, he was like a person without eyes. With such a beautiful person behind him, he however...

At the thought of this, he inevitably felt a little guilty. But fortunately, it wasn’t too late. He found her before she went far away.

As he glared at her, Irene felt uncomfortable and put down her spoon. "What's the matter? Do I have something on my face?" As she spoke, she touched her face.

Edward couldn’t help but secretly laugh. "Yes, there's something."

"What is it? Where is it?"

Edward said seriously. "There is a rice around the corner of your mouth."

Irene touched the corner of her mouth but found nothing, "Where is it?" She touched while asking Edward, but she saw the man's smile and understood. "Well, you lied to me."

Edward held Irene in his arms. But the strength was very light, afraid of touching her lower abdomen. He whispered, "Yes, I lied to you." Irene, who was always shrewd, sometimes was confused. But he had to say that he still liked Irene at this state, very cute.

"This is not right. It's almost nine o'clock, but you are not at work." During the days of pregnancy, Irene didn't go to work these days, but she also knew that Edward was in a difficult situation in the company.

"Isn't it good to take off and accompany you?"

"Of course it's good." She was overjoyed to see him treat her like this, but when she thought of his current situation. Irene didn’t want to be a burden to him. "Edward, I don't think Eric is a good guy at the first sight. I'm afraid that he will take advantage any of your mistakes."

When Edward heard the word ' Eric', he frowned slightly. "You saw him?" Eric had been forbearing for many years. He was cautious in everything he did. He seemed to be gentle and refined. But in fact, he was hiding his needles. He was definitely not a decent gentleman.

"I've met her several times in the company." Irene answered honestly.

"Oh? You know he isn't a good guy by only seeing him a few times?" joked Edward. He touched gently to Irene's nose with his fingers. "Mrs. Wilson has the ability to judge a person by their appearance?" Edward said mockingly.

"It's not about his look, it's just an instinct. " Although Eric hadn't done anything bad up until now, she could feel that there was something fishy hidden in his smile.

Edward held Irene's hands tighter, and the corners of his beautiful mouth were slightly raised. He did not care about Eric, who, a bastard, thought he can replace him by their father's love, which was really a daydream.

"Little dumpy, what is the matter with you? Take care of your health. Do not worry about anything else. I can take care of everything." His words gave Irene a feeling of warmth and confidence.

Irene believed Edward's ability. Thinking that there wouldn't be anything, and she was calm.

.…..

The Jones House.

"Aunt Sofia," Beth sat on the sofa, painting her nails, and said casually. "Your daughter has become more and more capable. Marrying a rich man like Edward, she does not care for me, the eldest sister."

As she said this, she paused a moment. Then, she raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Sofia, who stood trembling beside her. Her red lips opened slightly. "She's arrogant and domineering, and she knows no etiquette. You are her mother. That's a lot of responsibility!"

Sofia took a deep breath and clenched her fists tightly. Her palms were already sweaty. Secretly, she blamed Irene for what she had done to upset this young lady. Had she considered that she was suffering for her in the Jones family?

Sofia said in anguish. "Beth, it's my fault. I did not teach her well." She raised her head slightly and looked at Beth in front of her.

Beth blew on her nail polish and said. "Of course it's your fault. A b*stard born by a sl*t which brings shame on the Jones family!"

Her words were full of hatred. If there was no Irene, it was very likely that she was the one behind Edward's back. She only hated herself... But if he was hers, and she would definitely take him back.

Beth stood up and said. "Find an opportunity to ask her to come back, it's time to teach her a lesson. I made her forget her identity during the years I was abroad.  I made her forget her identity during the years I was abroad and who the great Miss Jones was."

Although Sofia knew that Beth must make life difficult for her daughter, she dared not oppose Beth's instructions. Beth was brutal and vicious. Tristan was violent and abusive, but he was a killjoy. The one who was really scary was Beth.

Beth saw that Sofia had not answered, and thought she was unwilling. She said icily. "Aunt Sofia, are you unwilling?"

The voice made Sofia nod her head immediately and hurriedly replied. "Yes, yes, I do. I'll call her over today."

Seeing Sofia's submissive attitude, Beth turned contemptuously and walked out on her high heels. She wore a sinister smile on her face. "Irene, let's see."

She took her cell phone out of her pocket with her slender fingers and said. "Hello, brother, I need your help "

...

In the afternoon, Edward went to the company. Irene felt bored. She took a two-hour break at noon and watched a movie in the media hall. It was "Mr.Bean." As she laughed merrily, the doorbell of the media cinema room rang softly and Irene said. "Come in."

"Madam, Mr. Wilson called." The maid passed out the phone to Irene.

At first, Irene thought whether Edward had forgotten something at home. After all, he had just gone out.

He picked up the phone and asked, "Edward, did you leave something behind?"

On the other end of the phone, Edward heard the sound of movie. "Are you watching a movie?"

"Yes, it's too boring, and I can not go out." Between the words, she was a little angry that Edward did not let her to go out. But when she thought of the reason he was doing this for her own good, she could not blame him anymore. In fact, Irene wanted to go for a walk. It was really boring to stay home alone.

Of course, Edward could tell that Irene wasn’t very happy, so he said softly. "Just bear it for another few months. When the baby is born, I will take you for a trip."

"Well! Actually, it's not so dull. But do you have something important to tell me over the phone?" Now Edward compromised in every way. She was not that conceited, nor she didn’t want Edward to feel she was favored and haughty. Now the two were on good terms.

"A few days ago I asked someone to buy some White Cranes and pureed taro. You see, I have heard that it is good for pregnant women. You can take a walk in the greenhouse, and it's also good for your health." Edward's voice was full of love on the other end of the phone, as if he wanted to bring her all the good in the world.

"Well!" Irene did not know if this was a coincidence. she only liked the white crane. which meant pure and beautiful. She did not have a big dream, she just wanted to live a quiet life like the white crane.

When Edward saw that there was only a "hmm" on the other side of the phone, he thought she had hung up. He took the receiver from his ear and saw that she was still on the phone. Then he whispered. "Irene?"

"Irene..."

Since the two of them confessed their love for each other, Irene had never called him by his name again. Edward couldn’t help but asking in confusion. "What's wrong?"

"Thank you!" Irene also knew that the relationship between them was husband and wife and they were closest. She should not say those words. But she did not know how to express her heart, so she could only use the most plain words.

"Are you going to thank yourself? "' Edward's voice seemed a little unhappy. He bite the end of word very hard.

"What?" Irene didn’t respond for a moment. When she did, she immediately replied. "Of course not." No one would say thank themselves.

"Irene, we are of the closest relations. We are husband and wife. If you want to thank me, you can kiss me when I go home, but never say those words."

Edward wasn’t a person who was keen on speaking love words, but this sentence touched Irene's heart like the most beautiful love words in the world. It was warm.

"I see." Irene's face warmed slightly. "Mr. Wilson's lover's prattle speech is really good. Your eloquence is really first-rate." She liked it very much.

"Yes!" Edward lifted his thin lips and his eyes were full of warmth. His free right hand flipped through the documents and he said confidently. "You has forgotten that I was a brawler in college."

The reason he did not say lover's prattle that in the past was because he did not find the Mrs. Right. He was in the business world, and his cold and harsh temper had reached its peak. Therefore, he was cold and ruthless in the eyes of others, unlike Eric who greeted people with a smile.

Of course, Irene couldn’t forget it. She liked this man because she had seen the elegant demeanor of him in the competition.

They talked with each other for a while. Edward thought it was not good for the pregnant woman to have a long conversation. So he hung up and told Irene that he would come home early today.
