Infatuated with my Ex-wife novel Chapter 53

Around the city, there were reports about Tristan, the young master of the Jones family, who had sent people to beat up the director of the welfare house, Eddie.

The Jones family's stock kept sinking, and Steven Jones hurried back from abroad.

Moreover, the Jones family's reputation had influenced by this matter. Many companies refused to cooperate with them anymore.

In the Jones family's living room, Steven trembled with anger. "I won't say anything about your past. Look what you have done.You asked someone to beat people and made things worse. It was all my fault, I didn't teach you well. You made we Jones family ashamed!"

Tristan retorted, "This isn't my fault. It was Edward who played tricks.  And Irene! They're the ones who set me up."

Seeing that his son didn't dare to take responsibility for what he had done and even blamed it on others, Steven felt a pain in his chest and his breath became more haste.

"Do you remember what you did to Irene? How can you blame on others? What's worse, you incurred the reporter and social medias. How could we stay in this city now? "

Hearing the matter was that serious, Tristan apologized immddiately, "Dad, sorry, it's all my fault."

"I didn't expect things ehould be that worse? I... I just want to make Eddie move out from that place. But I didn't expect that Edward would intervene. Now I suffered a double loss... I'm sorry, dad. Please forgive me! I will never..."

Steven had given birth to such a son, but this was the only son of the Jones family. Who could he blame?

Beth looked at him and said, "Dad, I don't think it's Tristan's fault. Edward really went too far. Maybe he's also instigated by Irene."

"If I have married Edward, I wouldn't Jones family get into such a dilemma."

"Shut up!" Steven yelled. He turned to glare at his daughter. "You have no right to speak. Do not think I do not know what you did after you returned to this country! I am telling you Beth, you'd better back off. Do not go too far."

Steven knew how sarcastic his daughter was. Seeing Edward and Irene live a happy life, she hated them and she had set many traps for them.

It was the first time Beth had been treated like this by Steven. Her eyes immediately turned red, "Dad, I have not done anything. Why are you being so cruel to me? In my opinion, you only care about Irene. All good things will come to her! When I was abroad by myself. Have you ever thought about me?"

"Who I treat better between you and Irene, you could figure it out in your mind. I don't want to say anything more. Also, the two of you should behave yourself these few days. The media is watching. For the sake of the Jones family, you'd better be quilt!"

Then Steven turned to Sofia, who had been sitting on the sofa quiltly, and said, "Sofia, invite Irene and Edward come here to have a meal this weekend... After all, we are a family, I don't want to make it too awkward."

"Okay." Sofia nodded.

But last time Irene told her not to call her again... Thinking of this, Sofia's face turned darker.

Steven saw her strange expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

Sofia said, "It's okay. I'll call her right away." After that, she went upstairs immediately.

Only Steven, Beth, and Tristan were left in the living room.

None of them talked. The atmosphere was somewhat depressing.

"You'd better apologize to Irene. I will never forgive you two if you make more mistakes."

Then he left without looking at them.

......

After beth went back her room, she knocked down everything to the ground. Her eyes were full of jealousy and hatred.

"Irene, I'll never apologize to you! Even if you don't let me go, I won't let you go too. Just you wait..." she gritted her teeth.

In another room, Sofia was wandering around the room. She picked up her phone and put it down.

Last time Irene said that she didn't want see her any more. But...if she didn't call her, Steven would definitely blame on her, and her life in the Jone family woule be worse.

After thinking twice, she took up all her courage and dailed Irene's number.

After all, she was her mother. Blood relations could not be eliminated by a few harsh words.

When Sofia called Irene, she was napping on the bed. She grabbed a book after Edward left for work, but she felt sleepy again after just reading few pages of the book.

Irene picked up the phone and saw the familiar number on the screen. She was irresolute at the beginning. Thinking that she had said that she didn't want to hear from her, she decisively hung up the phone, but the mixed feelings raised in her heart.

Sofia became depressed. Was Irene really not willing to pick up her call? Did she really hate her so much?

Sofia continued to call.

This time, Irene answered the phone without hesitation. Her tone was impatient，"What's wrong with you?" 

"I'm sorry, Irene. Did I disturb you?" Sofia tried to please her.

Irene listened to the voice on the other end. She had never known Sofia's tone could be this gentle? If not asking for help, Sofia would have never cared about her.

"What's the matter? Just say it!" Irene's vocie was cold.

Disturbing her? If she really recognized that, then she wouldn't have made this phone call.

Sofia had no choice but to say, "It's Steven... your father wants to invite you and Edward to have a meal together on this Saturday. Could you come,Irene?"

Sofia was afraid that she couldn't persuade Irene, so she had to say it was Steven's will.

Irene did not want to go, but she could not refuse Steven. "I'll talk about it with Edward later. If he is free, we'll go."

"Alright then!" Sofia had nothing more to say, so she had no choice but to let it be.

......

During dinner, Irene did not eat much but kept stirring the soup with her spoon.

"What's wrong? Doesn't it taste good?" Edward asked when he noticed Irene didn't eat anything.

"Earlier..."

Edward raised his beautiful eyebrows, "Hmm? What's wrong?"

"Sofia called and invited us to have a dinner this weekend."

So it was because of this annoyance.

Edward didn't say anything but asked Irene, "Do you want to go?"

Although he disliked the Jones family, he would not turn them away if Irene wanted to return. There was something he had to do with the Jones.

Irene put down the spoon, held her cheek with her hands, and said thoughtfully, "I think the Jones family must have something to ask you, but they can't ask you directly, so they called me."

Very smart!

Edward did not stop Irene from thinking, but said, "You also feel it,right?"

"Of course. Maybe something terrible happened to the Jones family. Otherwise my father wouldn't have come back."

"Some big affairs did happen." Edward thought and smiled. However, Irene did not read newspapers and rarely surfed online, so she knew nothing about the Jones family.

Irene noticed the smile on Edward's face and asked, "Edward, did you do something?"

"If, if I really did something bad to the Jones family, would you blamed me?" The eyes of Edward were full of warmth and beauty. It mmade Irene could not move her eyes.

Irene shook her head. She would never balme him. She remembered how the Jones family treated her. Edward was doing this to help her get revenge. "There is no father and son in the business world. I do not blame you, not to mention..." Irene stared at his eyes and continued, "Not to mention you are doing this for me."

Edward smiled and slightly bent his fingers to brush Irene's nose. "Smart girl!"

"I'm so confused whether we'll go or not." Irene sighed softly and said helplessly.

Edward smirked, "Then let's go and see what the Jones family is going to do, and..."

"What?" Every time he smirked, Irene felt something bad would happen.

"And I want them all to apologize to you. It will be a good show."

Irene did not care about their apology at all. She would not accept their false apology. But she was willing to watch a good show.

"Let's accept the invitation,then." Irene said. Since there would be a good show, she could not waste the opportunity.

"Well, now the problem is solved. Let us eat. You can not eat that little. Do not forget there is a hungry monster in your tummy!" Edward got a bowl of soup for Irene.

Irene lowered her head, "Alas! All right."

She looked at the gradually full bowl and quickly stopped it. "But, that bowl is too big for me. You are trying to fill me up. You know I cannot eat too much at night."

Edward grinned and said. "We can do some exercise later"

Irene had no choice but to eat.

......

It was the summer night, there were many stars dazzling up above the sky . When the breeze blew lightly, a faint scent of flowers lingered around the nose. Irene held Edward's arm as they talked under the moonlight.

They went back after walking for a while.

As Edward was taking a bath, Irene took her mobile phone to surf the Internet, and she saw the news about the Jones family. Although Irene always felt that she disliked the Jones family,  she also felt sad for them when she saw the comments of them.

When Edward came out and saw Irene holding the phone dazedly, he took a glance at the screen of the phone. "What's wrong?"

"Did you tell the media about what Tristan has done?"

While wiping his hair, Edward replied, "Yeah! But I am just saying the truth."

"In the past, I considered Tristan was an gambler. I didn't expect him to have connections with the gangsters."

Irene sighed, "How fast that people could change."

Edward walked over and sat beside her. "Well, don't worry about others too much. We can only lead a good life of us."

Irene nodded. There was really no need to care about the Jones family. She put down her cell phone and went to sleep.
