Infatuated with my Ex-wife novel Chapter 58

Edward left home early because it was weekday. When Irene slowly got up, she found there was a note on the bedside table.

It said, "Have a good lunch. I have something to do, so I cannot eat with you together."

It was boring to watch movies and read books the whole day.

So she  called Millicent. "Millicent, are you free? How about we go shopping today?"

Millicent's parents ran a small company. Although it was small, they placed great value on their only daughter. They knew she did not like to deal with business and preferred to draw, so they let her do that. So Millicent always had nothing to do except drawing.

Millicent agreed without any hesitation and decided to meet Irene at the café they often visited.

......

Just as Irene arrived at the café, Millicent was already there for a long time. She was just looking at her cell phone.

She approached to the seat and said, "I am sorry to make you wait for so long. But there was a traffic jam, I am realy sorry!"

Millicent laughed. "Don't mention that. We are friends. I did the same thing, too. So it's fine."

Irene sat down, "Should we order some coffee?"

Millicent nodded, and then they drank while chatted.

"Irene, Mr. Wilson has protected you too well. Did he allow you come to play?" Millicent looked at Irene with a snicker.

"He left early this morning and said he won't eat lunch at home today, so I sneaked out." Irene said.

"You sneak out. Aren't you afraid that Edward will be angry with you if he knows it?"

Irene dared not to look Millicent in the eye. She was still a little scared. After all, Edward was quite concerned about this sort of thing. She pretended to stir her coffee casually, "In reality, he's not that mean."

Millicent thought to herself, "She never lies. She just exposed herself."

......

They left the cafe shop and went to the shopping mall to buy some clothes.

Irene found that Millicent had been staring at her cell phone in a daze, as if she was waiting for someone's messege.

"Why do you keep looking at your phone? Are you waiting for someone's messege?" Irene asked with a smile.

Millicent immediately put the phone back in her pocket. Her face was slightly flushed when she retorted, "No, I'm not."

Something must happened to Millicent.

"Millicent, are you in love with someone?" Irene asked curiously and chattily.

Millicent ignored her and turned around to look at the clothes.

However, Irene approached to her and elbowed her. "We're best friends, so there shouldn't be secrets between us. Just say it. I want to know who he is."

Millicent hesitated and did not want to say. Irene had almost gone mad. Irene knew if Millicent had a boyfriend, she would not hide that from her. Unless she knew that person,too. "Are you with Elio?" Irene questioned.

Millicent realized that she couldn't hide it anmore. She nodded and said, "It's him, but..." She was not sure if he really liked her and if he had already let go of Irene. Actually, on that day, Milliant invited Elio to another art exhibition, he did not refuse. On the way back home, he even kissed her on the forehead. 

Irene felt she had a really good guess, but  then she found Miliicent blushed and stood at the same spot in a daze.

She didn't looked at Irene or the clothes.

"What's wrong? Millicent?" Irene asked.

After a few seconds, Millicent came to her senses. She looked at Irene and asked, "What?"

Irene looked helplessly. "What? What's wrong with you? Why are you in a daze?"

"Does it mean a guy likes you if he kiss you on the forehead?" asked Millicent. She needed an answer to remove the doubt she had in her heart at the moment.

Irene immediately covered her mouth because of surprise, "He - he already kissed you." She could not believe it. Irene knew Elio well. He was a typical  elegant gentleman, so he wouldn't kiss a girl for no reason.

Unless he liked her.

"Absolutely, Millicent. He must like you. He is not a playboy who likes to get close to any woman. If he had kissed you, he must have fallen in love with you." Irene said seriously.
