Infatuated with my Ex-wife novel Chapter 57

Edward really wanted to punch him to death. However, Irene pulled the hem of his clothes, and no one around dared to stop him.

"Well, Edward, don't waste time with this kind of person." Irene was really afraid that the thing would get worse.

Edward stopped and turned to look at Irene. "What did you want to do just now?"

"Huh?" Irene was confused.

"What were you doing when he came here?" Edward asked gently. He didn't look like the person who had just been furious.

"Er... drink some water." Irene answered honestly.

Looking at the empty quilt in Irene's hand, it seemed that Irene poured the whole cup o fwater onto Justin's face.

He took the cup from Irene's hand and passed by the crowd to get some water for Irene.

The crowd sighed and commented that Edward really loved this woman. Although the Wilson family was the best in the business world, the Parker family was also one of the tops. Because Justin was the only son of the Parker family, they always put him on an important place. But today, Edward punched Justin in front of everyone. Wasn't it a sign that he wanted to start a feud with the Parker family?

As the saying went, "Dangerous Beauty". Irene's beauty was Helen of Troy.  Edward’s reation was quite understandable. After all, she was his wife.

Since the lounge was crowded, Steven did not know what had happened. When he came over, he found Justin lying on the floor with a bleeding nose.

He hurrily asked someone to help Justin get up. "What's happening here?" Steven looked around. He really had no idea about what had happened, but no one dared to say anything.

Justin pushed away the person who got him up and wiped the blood off with his hands. He was so angry, but he dared not to show it. The Parker family couldn't compare with the Wilson family, so he couldn't offend Edward. What's more, he bothered Irene first.

But Justin had never been humiliated like this. He was like a clown at that moment. It seemed everyone was laughing at him. But he had remembered this day. He would never let go of Edward.

Edward handed the water to Irene and said, "Drink!"

Irene was not in the mood to drink water. She only wanted to know what Edward would do next. If things got worse, it could not end well.

Edward walked to the crowd. "I'm really sorry, It was supposed to be a good thing, but..." Edward suddenly looked at Justin with his cold eyes.

Justin suddenly felt that his thoughts had been seen through. Edward turned to face the crowd and continued, "I believe that all of you could feel my feelings.  As a husband, when I see my wife has been insulted, I couldn't just let it go."

Most people praised and understood them. The Wilson family had been engaged in business for generations, so they valued reputation very much.

Edward looked at Irene and took her hand to let her approach him. "Irene is my wife, but she has been insulted by Justin. As the young master of the Parker family, should him give an reasonable explanation to me and my wife?"

Edward explained why he punched Justin and he wanted to push Justin to apologize in front everyone.

Justin was unwilling to do it, but considering there were so many people watching, he had to force himself to say, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wilson, Mrs. Wilson. I drunk too much, so..."

Edward's tone was still cold. "I must warn you, Mr. Parker. I'll just let go this time. But if it happens again, I could let you go easily."

Justin nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, I won't do that again."

Irene had been satisfied about what Edward had done for her. She had never imagined he could beat someone for her.

...

She was shocked. Because he was a very mature person both in daily life and at work. But now, such a mature person put down his reputation and fought for her.Particularly in front of his business partners.

Not only Irene, but also the people around him were shocked. The CEO of the Wilson Corporation beat people for a woman.

Steven was even more surprised. Edward's love for Irene were much more than what he had showed them on that Saturday.

It seemed that Edward had deeply fell in love with Irene. Otherwise he wouldn't have been that reckless.

It seemed like he was reckless,  but he knew exactly what to do.

When he saw Justin apologize, the coldness in his eyes subsided a little. He continued, "I am also too rude this time, so I am willing to donate a million dollars."

The crowd was boiling with excitement. Edward was really generous.

Irene was surprised, too. Edward turned to look her and said. "Irene, let's go home!" Then he looked apologetically at the crowd and walked away with Irene.

Beth saw them walking out hand in hand.

The crowd gradually scattered. However, Beth just sat there, staring at the direction of the lounge. She was really jealous and depressed. 

At first, she just wanted to humiliate Irene and Edward. She was sure that for the sake of the Wilson Family reputation, Edward wouldn't do anything to Justin.

The more she looked at Edward, the more she felt upset. She was gradually forgetting his beautiful face

...

In the car, Irene and Edward were both quilt.

Irene sat in the passenger seat with her head leaning against the window. She had a myriad of thoughts in her mind. She wondered what she had done made her deserve Edward's treatment. He could not tolerate her being wronged even a little bit. 

Edward looked at the front, but  he could still glance at Irene's expression clearly.

Did she get scared by him?

He stretched out one of his hands to hold Irene's.

Irene turned her head, "What's wrong?"

"What are you thinking about?" Edward asked.

Irene blinked and said, "I think, Mr. Wilson is good at martial arts!" She saw that Justin was punched to the ground by him.

Edward knew that Irene was teasing him. He smiled and said, "I always think that I'm not taht good in martial arts. But it's good enough to protect you."

"I think you were quite violent then. You were... quite scary." Irene said slowly. She was indeed frightened by his actions but not his punch.

“Violent?” Edward frowned, "Is it really violent?"

"It's okay. As long as you don't hit me, that's not violent for me." Irene joked.

Edward smiled. He patted her head. "Don't worry, Irene. Even if I am violent, I will not hurt you." 

Irene shook off Edward's hand and pretended to be angry. She pouted and said, "Alas! Don't always touch my head. You make me fell that I am a... "

"You are a what?" Edward’s eyes lit up.

Irene turned her head and didn't want to talk to him. She didn't want to tell him that she would feel like a pet when he patted her head.

Edward knew what Irene was thinking. As for him, Irene was a pet who needed to be taken care of patiently and gently.

On their way home that day,they saw a car accident.

When Edward drove into the intersection, the traffic jam was very heavy and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. Irene wanted to get out of the car to look, but Edward stopped her. He probably suspected what had happened, so he did not want Irene to see such a miserable scene.

Irene understood why Edward didn't let her out. He didn't want her to see the scene of death and blood.

When Irene saw a man covered white cloth being taken to the ambulance. She suddenly felt a great pain. Human beings were fragile, they would never know when the death would come

Everything was unpredictable, she didn't know how long she could be with Edward. 

When Edward saw Irene's pale face, he knew she was saddened by the accident. So he hugged her and tried to give her some warmth.

Although their life was long, the world was unpredictable.

"It's all right, Irene. It's all right." Edward patted her back and comforted her.

Irene suddenly felt that she had become more sentimental perhaps because of her pregnancy. She had seen such a scene before, but she just sighed and walked away. But now she was thinking much more things than before.

"Edward, we will always stay together in the future, right!" It was too painful to say good-bye to each other. She loved him so much and cherished every minute she spent with Edward.

Edward answered her softly, "Don't be fool, I'll always be with you. We will live until we have children and grandchildren, and at then I will hug you tightly like now."

Edward also knew that things were unpredictable. But when he saw Irene's sad expression, he could not help but feel sad, too. The more pain she felt, the more pain he felt.

After half an hour, Edward was allowed to drive away. Irene, lying in his arms, had fallen asleep with a few drops of tears on her face.
