Infatuated with my Ex-wife novel Chapter 44

Irene slightly raised her eyelids and looked listless, but answered, "What story?"

"A boy. He rarely saw his father go home until he was eleven. Even when he did go home, his father and mother almost did not speak to each other at home. They were simply two strangers. After his eleven? He witnessed his father loving another boy as if he was not his father. He used to think that his father was naturally like that, but later he realized that he just did not like him."

 Irene was speechless for a while, she knew the boy in the story was Edward. When she met Edward Wilson in the university, She only felt that this person was cold and alienated from everyone, and looked like he was not easy to get along with. The reason was that the family's misfortune had pushed Edward to became like this step by step.

Edward continued, "Later, the boy understood that he should not ask for anything that didn't belong to him. Day by day his attitude of love had changed from expecting to disgusting."

Edward once heard that the best way to comfort others was to make his scars visible to others. It would hurt, he said, but the effect was good

Irene also knew what exactly Edward wanted to express with these words? He wanted to tell her that since Sofia did not like her and had no affection for her, she did not have to be expexting. She should just slowly forget about her mother, one day,she would never miss the love of mother any more.

It was fine for her to not think about some people.

Edward wiped the tears with his fingers. "Now, Irene, you already have me. I promise you will always be loved and never feel lonly. "

Irene appreciated waht he said and felt very thankful...

...

It was very dark, and Irene had already fallen asleep.

Edward did not sleep. He stood on the balcony in his pajamas and called. The person who answered the call was his secretary, Harry. "You go to the prison and find out who hired him. Tomorrow..." He changed his words,"No, now, I want the answer."

The secretary on the other side was a little faint because of the Edward's call. It was the first time he had heard Edward being so worried about anything other than work.

Half an hour later, the phone rang. Edward answered the phone, "Go ahead."

Harry told him all the information he had found, "Derek, thirty-six years old, is an orphan. He has always been detained by the police and offended a lot of people. and..."

"What about the kidnapping?" Edward was more concerned about this.

"He kept saying that he was lust for Irene's beauty."

"Lust for Irene's beauty?"  Edward sneered. "Then let some people who have a grudge against him in and teach him a lesson. Don't be merciful to  such him."

 After hanging up the phone, Edward turned and gently looked at Irene who was asleep on the bed. If whoever hurt her, he must punched back. 

...

At the starbucks.

Celine sat in a corner, wearing a palir of sunglasses. The cup of coffee in front of her had never been touched. That was the scene Eric saw when he just arrived.

Celine asked first. "What's the matter, Mr. Eric? "

Mr. Eric? Eric curled his lips. "Celine, you're so cruel. We used to be so close to each other, but now you call me Mr. Eric. You..."

"Stop." Celine stopped Eric directly. "Just tell me waht do you want?"

"Celine, I'm helping you. I have done my best to help you. Did you see the pictures I sent to Edward  a feaw days ago. Were you interested in that? There will be more amazing stuffs in the future. This game has just begun."

Celine knew that was not enough to separate Irene and Edward just by some fake photos. She wanted more. She wanted to kill Irene, then she would never showed up in front of Edward.

Celine felt Eric, who was in front of her,  was perfunctory to her. Though he said that he would help her, but he did everthing for himself...

Celine stirred coffee which ahd already cold, and contemptuously smiled,  "That Edward divorce Irene and Edward can not inherit the family estate is what you want, right?"

"And that then you can  be with Edwad is what you want ?" Eric retorted sarcastically. Actually, they were the same kind of people.

Celine did not intend to talk too much with him, so she said, "Yes, that is the only thing I want. I hope you can keeo your words. By the way, don't threaten me by these anymore."

She had never seen anyone as mean as Eric. He had filmed a video when they slept together, and even threatened her with it. She felt like she had been possessed by an evil spirit.

Eric nodded. "Okay." He then picked up the cup and drank the whole cup of coffee,smiled, " Hope we have the best cooperation."

Celine just left directly. She could not stand to be with this man a second longer.

Looking at the empty seat in front of him, Eric didn't have any expression on his face, well the anger was raised from his heart.

He wanted to defeat Edward  and in charde of the Wilson family. He wanted to take Irene and other belongings of Edward. He wanted Edward experience frustration that brought by a  illegitimate son. 

Cameron loved Eric's mother. Well because of Edward, Eric couldn't live with his father and he was called the illegitimate son and the whole Wilson family treated him differently. 

......

It was a weekday morning, Edward had already left for work when Irene woke up early. The servent said he had some important thing to deal with.

Irene got up early because she promised to go to Claudia's exhibition on that afternoon. She didn't feel much about arts, but her best friend, Millicent, was indeed a person who knew a lot about arts. Thought of this, she invited Millicent to go with her together.

 Irene wore a loose skirt and planned to go out. Before she left, she told the servents she would have lunch with Millicent at the restaurant, so they didn't need to worry about cooking for her.

Before leaving, she also told Edward about that.

Knowing that Edward must be busy with holding important meeting and meeting some important clients, Irene texted to him about her schedule.

Edward was listening to a work report, when he got the message from Irene. He told her to not eat junk food or spicy food, and go back early after the exhibition.

Irene replied immediately, "What if I don't follow your instructions?"

"You know what will happen." Edward laughed and typed quickly with his fingers.

The staffs was shocked when they saw Edward's smile. He was usually strict and never let them mke any mistakes. How could he smile this time? Especially they were facing  a bad product accident.

...

But Harry, the secretary, knew very well about what happene to Edward. He must be texting to Irene. There was no other reason could make him smile.

At this moment, Irene, who received the message, was stunned and cursed in his heart. She turned off the phone and went out.

Without receiving the respond of Irene, Edward said to the senior staffs, "Repeat what you just said."

......

"It is not good to eat such spicy food!" Millicent glared at Irene, who sat next to her. They were now in a famous Mexican restaurant.  Because it was too spicy, Millicent drank a lot of water when they were eating. Well, Irene enjoyed the food.

Since Irene was pregnant. Edward would not allow her to eat any spicy food. So she could help but eat as much spicy food as she can.

"It's all right, Millicent. I really want to eat spicy. You don't know how much I miss this flavour."

Millicent picked up a glass of water, took a sip, and said, "Are you sure Edward will allow you to each that much spicy food?"

Hearing this, Edward's message just flashed in Irene's mind quickly. She felt her heart skip a beat and her face was very hot. However, since she had been eating spicy food, Millicent could not tell why she was blushing.

"It's all right, he will never know." Irene forced herself to say. 

...

Claudia's exhibition began at three o'clock in the afternoon. When Irene and Millicent arrived, it was already two fifty.  And Elio, who had come for the fame, happened to arrive at that time.

At the same time, there was another person unexpectedly appeared on the painting exhibition. It was the person that  Eric had hired to follow Irene.

As a famous painter, Claudia had many visitors. There were many people in the exhibition hall.

After Irene greeted Claudia, she and Millicent slowly looked at the painting. Though she did not really understand it, she could only see it as very beautifu. 

"I think Claudia's painting are really amazing. Her level is really at the peak. Compared with her, I feel that my paintings are nothing. I finally understand what is the difference between artist and hobbyist." Millicent sighed to Irene while watching the painting.
