Infatuated with my Ex-wife novel Chapter 82

"Irene is leaving?!"

Edward's greatest nightmare had just come true. Ever since the day Millicent told him Irene was thinking about leaving, he worried about whether she would actually do it. He didn't think that the day would come so soon.

"Yes, Young Master. She is currently on her way to the airport with Mr. Ann and Miss Baker. She mentioned being discharged from the hospital this morning. By the time we found out, they had already left," reported the subordinate.

"Okay, I got it. I'll be right there. Keep an eye on them," Edward said before hanging up and rushing back into the office.

"Let's call it a day. We can think about it before our next meeting," Edward declared in a hurry. He left the room immediately after, and his anxiety was clear to the shareholders.

"Let's respect Mr. Wilson's decision and end the meeting for now. We can use this time to consider what was suggested earlier," Eric said in a happy tone. He had achieved two birds with one stone—Edward would no longer be the president, and Irene had left the country.

As long as Irene left, Edward would be occupied and have no time for company matters. Claudia was very sure that they would be able to defeat Eric today, but she had received a call about Irene's decision to leave.

Claudia supported Edward's actions. True, they may have given up the opportunity to bring Eric down, but another opportunity would soon arise. After all, people were bound to make mistakes every now and then.

"Millicent, I know you're by Irene's side. Can you stall her for me? I'm on my way to the airport now, but I'm stuck in traffic. Please buy me some time, I'll be there soon."

Edward felt rather anxious as he looked at the congested road. The traffic was really bad, and he needed Millicent's help to stall Irene. After all, he wasn't sure how far Irene was from the airport.

"Hurry up, Edward. I've already tried talking to her. Besides, you're the reason why she's decided to leave, so you're the only one who can resolve this."

Millicent felt her phone vibrate and wondered who messaged her. When she looked at her phone, she saw Edward's message and replied to it.

She was very surprised.

Millicent didn't tell Edward that Irene was leaving today, but he managed to get this information somehow. It was obvious that he cared about his wife dearly. As it turned out, she wasn't wrong about Edward, and Irene had found someone who returned her feelings.

"Okay, thanks, Millicent. I got it," Edward replied. He was grateful to Millicent, and it helped him figure out what his next course of action should be. But it did nothing to ease his anxiety.

"You stay in traffic and make your way to the airport as soon as you can," Edward ordered as he got out of the car.

"Okay, Mr. Wilson. Where are you going now?" Lily barely had time to react before she saw him break into a sprint.

She watched as Edward left in a hurry. She knew that he loved his wife dearly. After all, the was the first time she had seen him so nervous.

"Oh my god, he's amazing. What a boss! He's so cool!" Lily thought. She assumed he would run all the way to the airport, but he got on one of the rental bicycles by the roadside and had disappeared among the forest of vehicles.

Most people were quite annoyed as they waited for the traffic to move. Suddenly, Edward zoomed past them on his rental bicycle and attracted their attention. After all, he was dressed in a smart suit.

"Wow! Who is this man? He's so handsome! Look at him wearing a suit as he pedals away to the airport! What a charming man. Could he be going after his girlfriend?"

A young couple watched as Edward hurried along, and the lady exclaimed in amazement.

"Hmmph, look at you ogling him. What's so great about him?" muttered the man. He felt jealous that his girlfriend was looking at a man that wasn't him.

Edward's strange behavior attracted the attention of many people. Suddenly, everyone felt that the traffic jam had become more bearable, for it was rare for them to witness such a sight.

"Good luck, Mr. Wilson! I hope everything goes well with your wife!" Lily thought. She sincerely hoped that Irene could forgive Edward and reconcile with each other. That way, her work would be easier.

In addition, Lily treated Edward as her role model. He was efficient and his work ethics were superb! Whenever she couldn't figure something out, he could always find a solution easily.

Moreover, even though Edward was normally stoic, he treated Irene really well. Lily admired that about him.
