Infatuated with my Ex-wife novel Chapter 98

Elio was immersed in his sorrow, and Millicent was focused on him. They didn't notice Irene's weird behaviour. This would make Elio feel guilty towards Irene in the future, causing a misunderstanding between Millicent and Elio.

A few seagulls cawed as they flew over the cruise. The ship was now in the centre of the ocean. It seemed that the birds were also celebrating the wedding. The splashing waves sounded rather pleasant as they lapped against the side of the ship.

The sea breeze blew a mysterious scent on board the ship and made the passengers' hearts race. But it did nothing to soothe Irene's nerves.

Irene didn't know that Celine had taken her child and was still on the boat.

After Celine snuck into the boat, she worked together with Eric's men and waited patiently outside the lounge. Someone would distract Claudia when she arrived with Charlotte.

She would then enter the room dressed up as a cleaner and knock Charlotte out before taking her away in the cleaning cart. Nobody paid attention to her, as she was merely a cleaner.

Even if they noticed it afterwards, she would have already left with Charlotte.

Celine looked at the sleeping child in front of her. She was wearing a small white dress with a pair of wings on her back. She looked like an angel.

She was adorable!

Her eyebrows resembled Edward's. Celine raised her hand and stroked the child's face gently.

The very next second, Celine grabbed her neck fiercely. Charlotte resembled Irene more than Edward!

The child's skin was delicate, and a bruise formed immediately. Celine let go without any remorse, as though she hadn't tried to strangle a young child.

"It's not my fault. If there's anyone to blame, it's Irene! You will now suffer as the result of her actions! I need to keep you alive for now, but I need to kill you before your presence gets in the way of my child!"

She would anything within her power to remove the obstacles before her child.

Celine looked like a loving mother as she caressed her belly. If she didn't have a vicious expression on her face, that was.

She knew that she was doing it for herself. Still, Celine insisted that she was harming others for her child's sake.

Claudia and Edward's men searched every corner of the ship, but they couldn't find Charlotte. They never expected that the person who kidnapped Charlotte would be right under their noses.

Celine brought Charlotte with her and had already blended in with the guests. She watched as Edward and Irene walked onto the stage slowly, waiting to declare their vows before the priest.

...

Music played as Edward walked down the aisle with Irene.

Everyone followed their movements with envious eyes, all except for one. That pair of eyes watched with malice.

"Everything should've been mine! I'm going to snatch it all back!" Celine thought.

Meanwhile, Eric was waiting for the show to begin.

The benevolent and solemn priest looked at Edward and Irene. He first asked the groom, "Do you take this woman's hand in marriage, promising to love her in sickness and in debt, till death do you part?"

"He won't do!" A woman's piercing cry rang out before Edward could say his vows.

The guests burst into an uproar. Who dared to cause such a commotion at Mr. Wilson's wedding? Was it perhaps his former lover?

Edward was too enraged to recognise that familiar voice. He was already upset that Charlotte had gone missing, and now someone had interrupted his vows! He turned around to see who it was.

Irene recognised that voice! She remembered how the owner of that voice used to throw her snide remarks. She had also caused that misunderstanding between Irene and Edward! It was Celine!

Celine stood up with Charlotte in her arms.

The guests chattered noisily. Someone recognised Celine to be the woman involved in Edward's scandal. They began speculating that the baby in her arms belonged to Edward!

Fire raged in Edward's eyes. As it turned out, Celine was here to cause trouble for him once more! He had been busy with wedding preparations, unable to teach her a proper lesson. Now she was here to ruin his wedding! Perhaps he had been too nice to her in the past.

Irene noticed that Celine was holding a child in her arms. It was Charlotte!

"Charlotte!" Irene cried as she pulled her veil off her face.

"Security! Arrest her!" Edward yelled coldly.

"Edward, she kidnapped our child!" Irene said hurriedly. She was afraid that Celine would harm Charlotte.

Edward glared at Celine. She was here to cause trouble once more.

"What are you doing?" Edward asked.

Celine was excited to see Edward's intense gaze on her.

"I love you, Edward! I have always loved you," Celine said pitifully.

"So you've decided to work with Eric in tearing us apart? You've kidnapped my child and ruined my wedding! Is this what you call love?!" Edward yelled. It was unfortunate that such a crazy woman loved him!

"N-No! It's not like that, Edward! I just wanted to marry you!" Celine yelled hurriedly.

"It's her fault! It's all Irene's fault! She stole your heart and stole you from me! That's why you cast me and my child aside! I had no choice but to do this!" Celine screamed. She had lost her former gentle self. She had gone mad!

Everyone had moved away from Celine, watching the drama unfold from afar.

Edward was afraid that Irene would misunderstand him. He hurriedly said, "You are pregnant with Eric's child! Did you think I wouldn't find out? I have never liked you! Not once, and not ever!"

"Hahaha! You've really decided to disregard the history we shared together in favour of this woman! You are abandoning our friendship, our baby, and me!" Celine yelled crazily.

Edward didn't know what he should do. He wished he had never met Celine.

"Celine! I'll say it again! You are not pregnant with my child! Should I prove it? I am well aware of what you've done in the past! You aren't fooling me this time!" Edward yelled as he winked at his men.

Immediately after, he whispered to Irene, "Irene, believe me when I say that child isn't mine. I have never liked her."

"It's alright, I believe you. I'm just worried about Charlotte," Irene said in concern.

Celine wasn't mentally stable right now, and Irene was afraid she would hurt Charlotte. After all, she had never been a good person.

Edward was relieved that Irene trusted him. He was tired of dealing with this reckless woman.

Celine muttered to herself as though she didn't hear him, "We grew up together. Remember when you said you'd marry me when we played house? I have always kept that in mind."

"Then Irene came along and forced you to marry her! It's alright, Edward. I don't blame you. I know you were forced. After all, you came to me after you married her. I'm very happy. You still love me, don't you?"

"I thought you would fulfil your promise soon. So I waited, and waited."

"But you never did! Irene must've brainwashed you! You started to like her, and you betrayed me! She even gave birth to your child!"

...

Celine grew more agitated as she spoke. She raised the child in her arms.

"Don't hurt Charlotte!" Irene yelled anxiously.

Charlotte had just woken up. She began to play with her saliva, blowing bubbles in her mouth. She smiled as she looked around curiously from her new vantage point in the air, thinking that the woman was playing with her.

Charlotte was blissfully unaware of how worried everyone was as they watched.

"Celine, don't twist the facts! If it weren't for your meddling, Irene would've spent her days with Edward happily! They wouldn't have misunderstood each other for so long!" Millicent yelled.

Elio knew that Celine was an evil woman, but he had never expected her to be so good at spouting empty words. He looked at Millicent in admiration, happy that she was such a righteous woman. Not only was Millicent kind, but she also surprised him with her good qualities each time.

Elio stopped Millicent from running into the fray and said, "Celine isn't stable right now. She might hurt Charlotte if you run in there."

"D*mn it! Is there anything else we can do?" Millicent asked anxiously.

Elio comforted her and said calmly, "Let's just wait. There's no use being anxious. After all, we aren't directly involved in this situation. We'll only cause more trouble if we interject."

"What are you talking about? None of that is true! You should put the child down if you want to discuss matters," Edward said impatiently. How could she twist the truth like that? What a crazy woman.

"Haha! How could I hurt your child? Edward, I can forgive you and pretend none of this happened if you come back to me. Won't you?" Celine asked hopefully.

"Never!" Edward yelled. That single word was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Celine smiled when she glanced at the security guards that were getting closer to her.

She grabbed Charlotte and shouted, "Don't come any closer! I'll strangle her!"

It seemed like Charlotte could feel the malicious aura emanating from Celine, and she began to wiggle around in an attempt to escape.
