Infatuated with my Ex-wife novel Chapter 67

A short while later, Elio and Edward stared at each other. Both of them suddenly came to terms with each other, for they liked the same woman.

"I'll let it slide this time, Edward. But you must cherish Irene properly. If I see her upset because of you one more time, I'll snatch her away," Elio said seriously.

He knew that Irene liked Edward, so he wanted to support her happiness.

"Don't worry, Elio. I swear on my name that I'll take good care of her. Also, thanks for taking care of Irene on behalf of me," Edward said. He could only express his gratitude right now, but he swore to be there for Irene when she needed him next time.

He promised himself that he'd definitely protect Irene.

Edward and Elio grinned at each other before going back into the ward.

Irene still hadn't woken up when Millicent came to visit her. She felt bad for Elio when she saw him in the ward. It seemed that he still loved Irene.

Wasn't she aware that he loved Irene all this while? So why did her heart ache so badly?

"Millicent, come take a seat. Irene is no longer in danger, but she's in a coma and her body is weak."

Edward was the one who spoke. He was very pleased that Irene could have such a good friend. Millicent must have helped her a lot in the past.

"I see. Did Irene give birth to a girl?" Millicent asked.

She still remembered that Irene had once told her that she would love to have a daughter in the future.

"Yeah, how did you know?" Edward asked curiously. It seemed that Millicent and Irene were good friends.

"Ah, I was just guessing. I didn't think I'd be right though," Millicent said with a gentle smile. It seemed like Irene had gotten what she wished for, and she was happy for her.

Millicent left after sitting in the ward for a few hours. Her heart really ached when she saw how worried and restless Elio was as he watched over Irene.

She couldn't bear to see her beloved so anxious over her best friend, so she took her leave.

...

Meanwhile, the reporters kept bothering Celine for an interview as she was the other party in the headlines.

"Hello, Miss Celine. Are you really just Mr. Wilson's friend?" The reporter asked inquisitively. He wondered how she'd respond.

"I like Edward a lot. We were both childhood sweethearts, and we're pretty close to each other," Celine deliberately answered with such vague words. Her wanted to make everyone misunderstand their relationship.

"Are you saying that both of you have a special relationship?" The reporter asked, probing for more answers. Everyone scrambled to throw her more questions because she had given them quite a lot of material to write about.

After all, the entertainment industry was always interested in gossip.

The reporter's interview with Celine was trending, and the article managed to catch the attention of many. Some of Celine's fans also left comments on them.

"How adorable you are, Celine, so devoted to your love." Of course, there were also some blunt people who commented that it was rare to see such a thick-skinned person like her who destroyed others' family with no remorse. She should've just move on with her life since he was a married man.

This article had garnered much attention, and many people left their comments about the matter.

The article had also found its way to Edward, and his anger flared up. It seemed that he really couldn't treat Celine as a friend anymore.

"Edward, you'd better take care of this first. Don't let this news stick around when Irene wakes up," Claudia said seriously. She began to hate Celine's distasteful actions.

"Don't worry, my dear. Irene is safe in our hands. The doctor said that she might wake up tomorrow, so we'll just need to wait. She'll wake up once you've settled that article, and everything will be fine," Claudia said, trying to comfort him.

She hoped that everything would've been dealt with before Irene woke up.

Edward grew enraged when he thought about what Celine had said. He needed to clarify this before the media wrote some nonsense regarding his relationship with her.

"Okay. Thanks, mum. I will definitely set things straight! Don't worry," Edward said to his mum.

He understood his mother's intentions.

He left the hospital after saying that. Edward wanted make his relationship with Celine very clear, because he didn't want any scandalous rumours flying about.
