Infatuated with my Ex-wife novel Chapter 63

"Buzz! Buzz!" Edward's personal phone suddenly vibrated, drawing his attention away from his documents.

"Did something happen to Irene?" he thought.

Everything was fine when he came to work this morning. Not many people knew the number to his personal phone, so only friends and family would call that line. He quickly answered the phone.

"Hey, Edward, it's me, Celine. I'm going to be discharged from the hospital today. Can you come over? Don't worry, it's just to pick me up. You know that I don't have many close friends," Celine said pitifully.

Although she was telling the truth, it was important that Edward came to pick her up in person. He needed to be there for Eric and Celine's plan to work.

"Okay, what time? I'll pick you up," Edward said. It was true that she only had a handful of close friends, and he also needed to pay her a visit because she had just recovered.

"Ah, I was worried that you'd be busy, so I called you in advance. I'm supposed to leave the hospital at five o'clock later," Celine said in delight.

Tonight, their plot was about to succeed, and she would be in the headlines again. Let the show begin!

"Okay, I got it," Edward said before he hung up the phone. He would pick Celine up later. Five o'clock shouldn't be too late, so Irene shouldn't worry about him, or so he thought.

Edward continued to handle the documents. Recently, there were many things he had to deal with, especially after his father arranged for Eric to work in the company. They were battling with each other secretly.

Not only did Eric take away his staff, but he was also secretly plotting against him.

So Edward had to be on guard against them all the time, and he needed to train a group of new staff who were loyal to him.

Time flew by, and it was already five o'clock. Edward put away the document in his hand and drove to the hospital where Celine was.

"Edward, you're here. I'm not done with the discharge formalities yet. Just give me a minute," Celine said cutely as she saw Edward coming. She behaved like a sweet young lady from next door.

"Okay, let's go together," Edward said as they walked away together. At that moment, he wasn't aware that someone was taking a perfectly angled photo of him and Celine.

After they were done with the discharge procedures, Edward drove Celine back to her studio apartment.

"Celine, you can wear my coat if you find it chilly. After all, you've just been discharged from the hospital, and your body is still weak," Edward said as he drove. He thought she was cold when he heard her cough.

"Okay, thank you, Edward. I am feeling a little cold," Celine said gently and politely. She had actually coughed on purpose as part of her plan.

"Celine, you don't have to be so uptight," Edward said. He felt quite strange when he heard her being so polite to him.

In the past, Celine had never been so polite and distant from him. Maybe it was because he told her that Irene was the only one he loved, which could've made her feel like a third wheel.

Celine had always been a sensitive person in his memories. This was also because she had grown up in an unhappy family, so it was easy for her to overthink.

Edward remembered that he took advantage of Celine's love for him to make Irene angry when he hadn't fallen in love with Irene yet, and he had even made her pregnant. He felt a quite sorry for her when he thought about it.

"Okay, Edward, I'm just afraid that Irene might read too much into this. By the way, how is she? She should be giving birth soon, right?" Celine asked in a considerate tone.

Truth be told, she actually despised Irene to the core. But this was her little secret. She definitely would not let her live a happy life.

"Irene is doing well, and the baby is due soon. Celine, thank you for your concern," Edward said. He didn't expect that Celine would actually care so much about Irene. It seemed like she had moved on.

Edward felt a sorry for Celine. After all, she had also been pregnant before, and even though it was her own decision to abort the baby, she only did it because she was trying to compete with Irene.

If only he hadn't been drunk at that time, then these troublesome things might not have happened. Though, he really didn't remember it happening at all.
