Infatuated with my Ex-wife novel Chapter 51

Edward put his cell phone away. Irene did not answer the phone. The mechanical female voice from the system confused him. Logically, since Irene had come to the company to find him, even if she did not want to apologize, she must want to reconcile with him. But why did not she answer the phone?

After thinking for a while, Edward decided to make another call. Maybe... she was busy with something else, so she might not have heard the phone ring.

And recently she was muddleheaded.

But this time, when she called, it was shown directly that she was on the phone... 

That Edward more puzzled," Was she angry again because she had not found him? No, Irene was not that kind of person."

So he called his home, a maid answered the phone.

"Is Irene at home?" Edward asked.

"Irene asked the driver to send her out this morning, and she has not eturned yet." The maid had some doubt in her heart. This morning she had distinctly heard the driver say he would send her to the company. Why didn't she go?And where was she?

...

"If Irene came back, please call me." Then he hung up the phone.

"If she didn't go back home, then where did she go after leaving the office?’

Edward blamed himself for not taking his phone with him as he thinking of that.

Obviously, Irene was angry with him if she didn't answere his phone. He did not understand why things were getting more complicated. Was it because Irene had met someone when she came here and heard something...?

Edward thought for a while and then asked the receptionist come to hid office.

...

Irene didn't want to talk to Edward because she was very depressed now...

When she left the café and got into the car, she did not know where to go. She could only let the driver drop her off at the sidewalk and slowly walked on the street. She didn't want to go home because thier house was occupied with Edward scent. All she wanted now was a place without Edward.

She picked up her phone and called Millicent.

"Millicent?" Irene said with some grievance.

Millicent was drawing in the studio, covered in paint. She put her head on her cell phone. "What's wrong? Irene?"

"Are you free?" At this time, Irene did not know who she should talk to except Millicent.

"Yes." Millicent felt Irene was depressed through her tone. Something must have happened. "Come to my house. I'll be waiting for you."

Irene hung up the phone after saying "okay", and then took a taxi to Millicent's home.

In the taxi, Irene looked at the view out of the window. Suddently, her phone vibrated and she saw the message from Edward.

"Irene, where are you? Call me. Don't make me worry." It said.

Irene was still angry. She did not want to answer his messages. So he just turned off the phone like what Edward did this morning.

Looking at the dark screen, Irene put the phone into her bag and ignored it.

...

When Irene arrived at Millicent's house, Millicent had changed her clothes. 

They sat in the yard where were some fruits and drinks on the table. Irene, however, did not want to eat at all. Instead, she propped her chin up with her hands and pouted.

Millicent could tell that Irene was in a bad mood. She asked a in concerned tone, "Irene, what happened? Have not you made up with Edward?"

Hearing Edwrad's name, Irene felt mad in her heart. She nodded, looking depressed like a pet abandoned by its owner.

Millicent laughed, "That's not like you, Irene. I remember how Edward treated you in the past. He even had a child with another women, but you never felt so depressed."

Irene sighed and said, "You have no idea. I always felt I owed Edward because he did not like me, but Granny forced him to be with me."

When Irene mentioned those days, she was silent for a moment, and then she continued, "so I can stand no matter how he treated me back then."

"But now, I am like a little rabbit trapped in the trap of his love. I begin to care about him more and I don't not know how to escape this trap.

Millicent understood Irene. She had learnt form the past five years, the one who fallen in love first would always be the loser.

Irene looked at the fence in the yard and her eyes blurred. She seemed to be talking to Millicent and talking to herself. "Now, I have known how good Edward is, so I can't bear that he return to that man who didn't care about me at all."

"I just don't want to lose him, just like I don't want to lose the candy that has already in my pocket."
