Infatuated with my Ex-wife novel Chapter 48

When the doorbell rang, she was looking at herself in the mirror—the light pink pajamas faintlly revealed her curvaceous figure, and her slender and white legs were fascinating.

She calmed down and pulled the pajamas down a little before she opened the door.

When she opened the door, the man Celine was thinking all day stood there like a God, but under the night, his expression was hard to guess, but it was definitely not good.

As soon as he arrived, Celine felt that the entire house was terribly quiet.

"Edward, you're here." Her voice was always gentle, but it was full of expectations when listening carefully.

Of course Edward could hear it.

Well, he was not here for visiting.

"Will you not invite me in?" asked Edward. Celine could not tell what he was thinking. She only felt that he was not the same as usual.

Besides, he even said that he wanted to get in? She was very happy when he came here. What's more, he was so active that he seemed a little abnormal.

Celine thought for a long time before realizing that they had been standing outside the door for quite a while. "Sure, come on in!"

Edward sat on the sofa in the living room while Celine sat in front of him, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Under the light, Edward finally saw the woman's expression, her makeup and dress.

He knew what she was thinking. However, there were still some things he wanted to hear from her personally.

"How have you been? Are you all right?" Edward asked gently.

Celine bowed her head and said, "I am not good. Everthing was awful without you. I am a woman. I lost my lover and my child. How can I be good?"

After that, she looked at Edward with full of affection in the eye.

The corners of Edward's mouth lifted, "So that is the reason you bother me and my wife?" He said in an indifferent and jocular tone.

Celine's heart skipped a beat, as if  a pail of ice water had suddenly poured on her warm heart.

Did he know something?

But even if the person who sent the photos was found out, there was no way he knew she was talking to Eric. Then he should blame on Eric but her.

Celine opened her mouth in sorrow, and her beautiful big eyes were full of tears in an instant. She was totally a good actress.

"Edward, we grew up together. Am I like that in your opinion? In reality, you think the same as people on the internet,right? Do you think I am a mistress who destroys other people's families?"

Edward didn't want to comment on Celine's personality. "Celine, do you think I know nothing? I have already sent some one to wrok on it."

"What makes you conclude that it was me who sent you the photos？" Celine was very angry. She thought that as long as she denied it , Edward could do nothing about her.

As soon as she finished her sentence, she regretted it.

She said "photo" before Edward metioned it. Wasn't that a guilty person who cried for innocent?

She was so frightened that she didn't even have the courage to look up at Edward.

Edward grinned, "Celine, what's that picture? Since I walked in the door, did I mention the photo? I have not said anything. Why are you so sure I am talking about the photo? Huh?"

Celine didn't know how to answer him, and her forehead started to sweat.

If Edward knew that it was her who had done it, there would be no chance for them to be together again.

Celine, pondering how to cover matter, heard Edward continue, "You underestimate me. You think I know nothing if you didn't send me photos. I have already known the person who sent me the photos called you recently."

"Then can you explain, how could it be such a coincidence? Why did you just call the person who sent the photos?"

Celine's face was pale. Under the light and the white foundation, she looked like a ghost.

She spoke weakly and no longer tried to hide her feelings.

"What if I did it? Edward, I did it because I love you! I am jealous of Irene. And why? Five years ago she became your wife so easily just because of Madeline. I thought about it for so long, why could she made it so easily?"

Edward interrupted her. "My grandmother likes her, because she's kindhearted. What about you? What did you have? You asked people to send me dirty photos. What qualifications do you have to scold her?"

"What qualifications ? Kindness?" Celine insisted and said, "Kindness. If you think that kindness is to save your grandmother life, then I tell you, I, Celine, also can do that, just because she is your grandma."

She wasn't sure if he know that she was willing to do anything for him, including death.

After saying this, Celine began to cry. The sad look was something Edward had never seen before. He had always thought of her as his sister. Other than those feelings, he did not have any other feelings for her... But years of feelings could not be let go of immediately.

Edward stretched out his hand slowly to comfort Celine. Well, Irene's face appeared in his mind, he immediately stopped his action. He could not do this. If he gave Celine more gentleness, it would bring Irene more cruelty. 

"Celine, I won't keep investigating this matter. But I still want you to konw. I have always regarded you as my sister. Except for this, I have nothing else for you. Irene is very kind. I love her very much, and I also hope you can respect her as well. I don't want to see anything affect our relationship."

After saying this, he paused for a second and continued, "Once I find the person I like, she will be the just and only person in my heart. You know me so well, so you should understand."

After that Edward stood up and looked at Celine, who had her head in her hands, weeping. Finally he sighed and strode away.

"Edward."

This voice made Edward stop his steps.

Celine suddenly stood up and wrapped her arms around Edward's waist.

Edward tried hard to pull her hand away, but Celine said, "This is the last time we stay together alone. We will be just friends in the future. "

Celine's head was tightly pressed against Edward's back. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the moment. The men she had loved for so many years, finally fell for another woman.

Celine breathed gently, and the warm breath fell on Edward's back.

Celine only wanted to remember this scent—she would never have the chance to smell it again.

Edward finally pulled Celine's hand away and left without any hesitation.

 After Edward left, Celine rooted in the same spot. In the empty living room,  she just imagined that Edward did not leave and waited there for her touching.

Finally, Celine fell on the ground, and her tears dropped down on the ground.

Celine felt unprecedented sad. She had prepared for so long to wait her loved one's coming. But that person did not even look at her. She was like a clown of the monodrama.

She was unwilling to give up.

Celine clenched her fists, grasping the floor with her fingers. "Irene, I'm sure I'll make you suffer all the pain I've suffered in the future. I'll let experience the pain of being abandoned by someone you love."

......

After Edward left, Irene sat quietly in front of the dressing table for a long time. The flower tea was cold, well she was unaware of it.

This was the first time Irene had quarreled with him after she got along well with Edward. She didn't expect him to be so fierce. The behavior of him today was so different from the previous gentle performance. 

At this time, the phone rang. She picked it up quickly and thought it was Edward. She didn't even look at the caller and said in a hurry, "Edward."

But there was a female voice over the phone. "Edward? I'm Millicent." Millicent's voice came from the phone.

Irene said awkwardly, "It's you. I thought..."

She thought it was him.

Millicent had a meticulous mind. Of course he could hear that Irene was not well at the other end of the telephone. So she asked, "Did you quarrel with him?"

Irene lowered her head. "Well..." At this moment, she was annoyed!

"It is normal for couples to quarrel. After a long time together, there will always be conflict. My parents did the same things." When Millicent saw that her friend was unhappy, she comforted her.

Irene certainly understood this. But it was too short. How long had she and Edward been together? She hadn't just begun to enjoy his love. Then there came such a big quarrel that she couldn't bear.

"I see." Irene answered listlessly.

"By the way, Irene, thank you today." They were the best friends. Irene naturally knew Millicent's feeling to Elio .

Irene let go her bad mood until Millicent mentioned the exhibition. "What for?" She pretended that she didn't know what  Millicent was talking.

"Thank you for waiting for me! Thank you for watching the painting with me." Millicent said seriously.

Oops—

Irene was speechless "You, Millicent, tell me if you'll go shopping, and eat with Elio after I left?"

Millicent was a little annoyed. "You loves gossip,huh? Well, I won't tell you. When you and Edward are reconciled, remember to tell me so I do not have to worry about you."

Having said this, Millicent quickly hung up the phone. Irene wanted to say something else, but only heard the beep of the hung-up phone.

"Reconcile..."

Irene looked out at the dark night outside and felt uneasy in her heart... It was too difficult to reconcile. They were both stubborn people. Who would be willing to admit defeat? She looked out the window and did not feel sleepy at all.

It seemed that today was going to be a sleepless night.
