Infatuated with my Ex-wife novel Chapter 83

Edward received Millicent's text just as he was about to reach the airport. His anxiety spiked and he pedalled even faster.

"I'll be there in a few minutes. Please buy me some time," Edward replied. Time had never passed so slowly before and the road to the airport felt endless.

"Okay," Millicent replied.

However, there was only so much she could do to stall Irene. If Edward didn't arrive at the airport in time, everything would've been for nought.

"Alright guys, I should go check in," Irene said. There were less people in the queue to check in, so she stood up. Reluctant as she was, she needed to stick to her decision.

"Okay. Irene, let me carry your baby for you. It'll be more convenient that way," Millicent said, trying to stall. Like this, Irene would need to come to get her baby before passing the security gates. Edward would now have slightly more time.

"Millicent, are you trying to stall time for Edward?" Elio asked after Irene left. He noticed what Millicent had been doing.

He saw how anxious Millicent had been when she looked at her phone.

"Yeah. I know how much they love each other, but Celine and Eric's villainous plan wedged a misunderstanding between them. As Irene's best friend, I should do something to help them."

Millicent spoke her mind without caring what Elio might think about her.

In any case, Elio didn't like her. That had always been obvious, hadn't it?

"You did the right thing, Millicent," Elio said. He didn't expect her to be so concerned about Irene or treat her so well. He felt like he had just met her for the first time.

"Yeah. Thanks for understanding, Elio," Millicent said in surprise. She thought he would oppose her, but he didn't.

"It's okay. I can see how much you care about Irene. It's hard to find such a good friend nowadays," Elio said sincerely.

"Alright, I'm leaving. I'll contact both of you once I reach Italy. Bye!" Irene said as she took her child from Millicent before turning around.

Suddenly, Irene's cell phone vibrated. She declined the call when she saw Edward's name on the screen.

Edward couldn't find Irene when he arrived, so he called her anxiously. But she didn't want to answer it.

He had no choice but to call Millicent instead.

"Millicent, where are you now?" Edward asked anxiously.

"We're at the boarding pass! Hurry, Irene has just checked in!" Millicent exclaimed. She hoped he could reach Irene in time and prevent her from going to Italy.

"Millicent, where's Irene?" Edward asked. He didn't see Irene anywhere near Millicent and Elio.

"She's just gone in! Hurry, go!" she yelled. Edward dashed through the gates right after she was done speaking. Both Millicent and Elio stood there in shock.

Edward searched for Irene desperately, but he couldn't find her in the crowd. Just when he almost lost his mind, he saw her about to board the plane.

"Wait, Irene! Don't leave me behind! Are you really going to leave by yourself?! Don't you love me anymore?" Edward yelled. He ran over and hugged her tightly, pressing her body into his.

"Why are you here, Edward? How did you know that I was here? Did Millicent ask you to come here?" Irene retorted. She was quite happy to see him chase after her. She felt rather hollow when she didn't see him earlier.

Irene wasn't sure why such thorny questions came out of her mouth when she saw him rush to her eagerly.

"Irene, you can't leave me alone. Come home with me," Edward said before grabbing her hand and leading her away from the crowd.

Irene resisted at first, but she could not overpower a man. Moreover, she was holding her baby and had to leave with him.
