Infatuated with my Ex-wife

When Irene arrived at the company, Edward had just left.

When Irene arrived at the receptionist, she was told that Edward had just left. How could Irene have believed that? He just got what he need from home. How could he left so soon?

She called Edward, but his phone was turned off. People in the company knew her, so they let her enter Edward's office. She saw the mobile phone of Edward was turned off and placed on the table. Disappointed, Irene sat in the seat of Edward, with mixed feelings in her heart. She wondered if Edward deliberately went out and didn't want to see her.

An hour later, Edward had not come back. She gave up and decided to go home.

Just as she was leaving the company, she saw a person coming towards her. It was Eric. His face was full of smiles and he looked very happy.

Irene did not want to have any contact with this person, but considering he was a part of this company, she had to bite the bullet and greeted him with a gentle smile.

Eric walked up to her and said, "Minister Irene, are you here to look for Manager Wilson?" Then, he put on a regretful expression. "He just left in a hurry. It seemed he had somthing improtant to deal with." Irene of course knew that he was in a hurry. Otherwise, he would not have left his phone in the office.

Irene looked even worse.

Eric asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?"

Irene shook her head. "Thank you for your concern. I'm fine." Then she was about to leave.

Eric stopped her and said, "There's a café over there. Let us have some drink there. I can see that you do not look very well. Besides, Edward may be back soon. You can go there and wait for him." Irene had to admit that Eric was eloquent. She couldn't find any reason to refuse him. Moreover, she heart that Edward would be back soon, so she entered the coffee shop with Eric.

It was working hours in the morning, so there was very quietand and few people here. Irene found a seat near the window and sat down. She didn't realize that Eric was already seated in front of her. Eric looked at Irene who was in front of him and looked out of the window. Her white and delicate face looked more and more charming in the light. Irene wore in a light makeup. It was impossible to see it without looking carefully. In addition, she was originally white, so she looked very natural.

Irene was different with any women Eric knew, including Celine. It had nothing to do with looks. It was a temperament that Irene displayed after years of experience. Irene was an office woman who was capable and decent in work. However, now that she was pregnan and stayed at home, she looked like a housewife. Irene looked at the traffic and thought that Edward wouldn't come back so soon. So she turned her head slightly and found that Eric was watching her. Irene looked away unnaturally.

Eric, of course, recognized this too, but he did not feel uncomfortable. He just changed the topic.

The waiter came over with the menu and politely asked what they were going to order.

Eric handed the menu to Irene. "What would you like to drink?" The smile in his eyes was very obvious.

Irene didn't want to drink coffee, but she couldn't disregard Eric's intentions... Although she didn't like this person in her heart, she still had to be friendly on the surface. Thus, she ordered a cup of plum juice. Eric ordered a cup of Americano.

Irene felt that she couldn't get rid of Eric once she got involved with him. He didn't notice the change of her mood at all. Even if he knew that she was extremely unwilling to be here, he could sit down and drink coffee leisurely.

Irene stirred the plum juice silently and tried to ignore him. She thought that he had to leave for work anyway. He would't stay for too long?

"Did you argue with Edward?" asked Eric. His voice was different from Edward's. His voice was dull, but it sounded like he concernd about Irene.

Irene shook her head. "Of course not. What would we argue about? Perhaps I did not tell him inadvance, so he went out before I got here." Irene instinctively felt that she did not want to tell Eric about this quarrel.

Therefore, she firmly denied it.

Eric smiled and said, "That's good then. I just wanted to ask you whether you were angry with him for going to Celine's last night!"

"He went to Celine's place!" When Irene heard this, her heart skip a beat. She tightened her fingers to hold the straw.

Did he really go to Celine's yesterday? Did he turn to her without hesitation because he quarreled with her? Or was there some misunderstanding?

Irene was not sure if there was really a misunderstanding, but she was very uncomfortable now.

Eric saw Irene's expression change, he continued, as if he had not realized it, "Celine felt sick yesterday. They grew up together. So he just wanted to have a look." Then he stopped and looked at Irene. An innocent smile appeared on his face. "As long as he went home, it doesn't matter."

Irene felt a chill come over her. As she looked at the sunshine outside, it was summer, but she felt cold from the bottom of her heart.

Irene felt that she was silly. Perhaps Edward deliberately did not want to see her. Edward was such a cautious person. How could he casually put his personal phone on the table and turn it off? Perhaps he deliberately did not want to see her.

Thinking all of these, Irene felt like she didn't want to stay and wait anymore. She stood up and her body was a little unstable. She smiled at Eric. "I'm sorry. I'm not feeling good today. I need to go home."

This time Eric did not insist on keeping her stay. Instead, he nodded his head and addressed a few concerned words to Irene before leaving.

Eric still sat at the table and drank his coffee. He saw Irene get into a cab. Her back was thin and she looked very sad.

He put down the cup with a satisfied smile on his face.

Edward and Harry went to the suburbs. Originally, this land was blonged to Tristan. Later, he found that it was a good place to build a mansion or a golf course.

There was still a welfare house on the site. Construction had already begun, but the welfare house did not seem to be affected at all.

Edward looked at the welfare house and said to Harry, "Take out the things."

Harry nodded. He took out some nutriment from the boot.

Several media had waited here for many days. They all rushed over as Edward got out of the car. Harry was sitting in the front, but Edward asked Harry to let them come over. It was easy to deal with these reporters, and actually Edward was afraid they would not ask any question.

If the thing was not reported, how could they make everyone knew it......

A reporter said, "Mr. Wilson, are you here for demolition?"

Edward said, "Of course."

"Did you hurt Eddie Carter?" Another reporter asked.

Edward laughed. "I am a businessman, not a gangster. You really like to make jokes."

Harry said, "Eddie Carter had got hurt before we bought this land from Tristan. As a reporter, you should report the truth not just asked such silly questions. Aren't you afraid that we would sue you for slander?" Harry's tone was very bad. He had been with Edward for many years. Although his was not as tough as Edward's, but influenced by Edward, he had known how to deal with the media. Edward scolded Harry, "Harry!"

Harry stopped speaking. Edward turned to the reporter, whose face was shocked. "We are here today to solve the problems caused by Jones' company. He's too young to take care of things, and that's how this matter came about today."

The reporters looked at each other. And their attitutes softened when they saw the nutritions in Harry's hand.

Seeing reporter expresson, Edward continued, "Although I've always thought that I'm a businessman, I'm definitely not a cold-blooded person. I've already sent someone to solve the matter of Director Eddie. I believe that we'll find a better place to settle the kids and all all staffs of the welfare house."

These reporters were speechless after hearing what Edward said, while Harry and Edward carried gifts into the welfare house. After the conversation with Eddie in the backyard, the matter was perfectly solved.

Some of Eddie's words were recorded by reporters, and Edward could not help but rejoice. If this incident was exposed, Tristan and Jones's company would definitely be in trouble.

However, several reporters asked if they could go to Edward's company to make an exclusive interview with him. Edward did not refuse, not accept, just showing a mediocre attitude.

...

When Edward returned from the welfare house, the staff told him that Irene had come in the morning.

Only then did he remember that he had left his phone in the office and it was turned off. He got to know that Irene sat in his office for a while and then left.

When Edward returned to the office, the air was filled with a scent. Edward knew it belonged to Irene.

He picked up the phone, turned it on, and dialed a number quickly.

The phone rang for a long time.

Finally, a cold mechanical female voice came from the phone.
