"Irene..." Claudia knew that her son's changes were Irene's credit. She reached out to pull on Irene's small hands. "Irene, thank you. Thank you for all your hard work."
Claudia gently held Irene's hand, for she knew the story of her son bullying Irene.
"Mama... do not say things like that." Hearing Claudia 's words, Irene felt flattered.
""Well, mother, Irene. If you want to chat, go home and chat as long as you want. Now we must eat first. My child said he was hungry." Edward stretched out his arms and took the two beloved women in his arms.
"You are so garrulouw." Claudia looked at her childish son and scolded him with a smile.
They walked out of the airport as they spoke.
...
Under pressure from Claudia's authority, coupled with his wife's return from abroad, Cameron had no choice but to resume Edward's position.
At the direction of Edward's grandmother, and on the advice of her mother-in-law, Irene entirely ceased her work at the company, and began to nurture fetus wholeheartedly at home.
Moreover, after Edward's experiencing resignation, Irene felt that it was also good to stay at home.
Upon his return to the company, Edward found that many of his elite subordinates had already switched to the Eric Wilson camp.
At present the company was already divided into two camps. One was led by him, the other by Eric.
Although he and Eric Wilson had not yet really begun to fight, everyone who was wise knew that they would not really harmonise with each other.
Edward knew there would always be a bitter fight between him and Eric, but he had not expected Eric and Cameron to be so impatient and eager to take him down.
Since they were so eager to see him crack down, he wanted to see who will laugh at last.
...
After she stopped going to work, Irene stayed home every day. Edward was busy at the company, so he could not stay at home every day to accompany her. Sometimes the old lady would come and talk to her. Sometimes Edward's grandmother would come and talk to her, or Claudia may come home to make soup for her
Everyday after Edward had eaten breakfast and was ready to go to work, Irene would helped Edward tie his tie, clean up his things, and send him to the door.. No matter how busy Edward was, he would try to finish work at the office and then get off work on time and go home to accompany his pregnant wife.
Every night after supper, they would take a walk hand in hand, just like an old couple.
Irene's belly was bigger. She even had a problem when she took a bath. It was Edward who helped her washing her body every night. . At first Edward made this suggestion, but Irene immediately refused. However, she could not resist his coaxing and urging and finally compromised with him.
However, later, Edward knew how painful his decision was.
Every night he watched Irene's body grow plumper and softer with her pregnancy. He felt as if he were living in a deep abyss of lust with suffering and agony.
But later, when he knew that pregnant women for more than three months could have sex , he also thought of some ways to get some benefits for himself.
...
That day Irene asked the maids to prepare the food and put it in the insulated box. She took the carefully prepared food for Edward and went out.
"Hello, Miss Irene. Long time no see." The receptionist greeted her in a friendly manner when she arrived at the Wilson's residence.
When she saw many acquaintances in the company, Irene greeted them one by one. However, she didn't expect to meet Eric.
"Long time no see, Irene. What are you doing here?" Eric's tall and powerful body blocked Irene's way. He looked at the thermos in Irene's hands and asked, though he already knew the answer.
"I am here to bring food to my husband. I am sorry, I must go now. I fear Edward will be hungry later." Irene did not want to get Eric involved. With those words, she walked past him.
As Wilson watched the woman walk away from him, a hint of malice flashed in his eyes. Then he resumed his smile.
Irene did not ask the secretary to inform Edward. After knocking on the door and receiving an answer, she took the thermos and went inside.
"What is the matter?" said Edward, without looking up. Seeing that Irena had not answered for some time, Edward frowned and looked up. He spotted his little wife standing on the opposite side looking at him with a smile. Edward had the feeling that all the dissatisfaction about work had disappeared in that smile.
"Why are you here? You even didn't tell me in advance." Edward walked to Irene, who was standing in front of the desk.
"I want to give you a surprise.How about it, are you surprised? ?" Irene raised the insulated box in her hand and said with a smile.
"You..." Edward scratched Irene's little nose and pulled her into the living room. He sat her down on the sofa, then set the lunchbox on the tea table.
"I miss you so much." The man stretched out his long arms to embrace Irene and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
"So do I." Irene reached out her small hands to embrace Edward and reacted warmly.
Edward's large hand reached into Irene's dress. Today Irene was wearing a pale yellow maternity dress, which made it easier for his hands to move in.
No, this is the office. Somebody will be there." Irene felt the man's movement, and put out her white, delicate little hand to hold his ever-moving big hand.
