Infatuated with my Ex-wife novel Chapter 84

When the girls heard Edward and Elio laughing, Irene suddenly didn't feel like punishing Millicent anymore. After all, they were both on the same side. How could they allow the guys to laugh at them?

"Let's drive home instead of standing around," Edward said. He could feel that Irene was beginning to get upset again. He had to interject because he didn't want to make her mad.

He knew that these two besties were just teasing each other and found it rather amusing.

"That's right. Come on, let's go home," Elio said. He couldn't just stand there while Edward mediated the situation. They shared a knowing glance with each other.

"Okay, let's go," Irene said. She knew she would be laughed at if she "punished" Millicent now. It wasn't the right time.

"Irene, look at Charlotte. Her lips look like yours, so I'm sure she'll turn out to be as beautiful as you are when she grows up," Millicent said. She noticed how similar the baby was to her mother as she sat in the back seat of the car.

Millicent sighed involuntarily. Although she simply said that in passing, the other three people thought she was still trying to butter up to Irene.

"Of course! Did you think Charlotte would look like you, her godmother?" Irene joked. Millicent was too easy to tease sometimes, and she would get "bullied" by Irene.

"Haha. Now, if she was my biological child, she would surely be as beautiful as a fairy," Millicent retorted. She realised she had made a mistake, so she needed to defend herself.

"Hm, she's pretty quick-witted. She didn't allow herself to be teased endlessly," Elio thought. In the past couple of days, he felt like he had just met Millicent for the very first time. However, what happened next shocked him.

"That also depends on whose genes are involved, am I right?" Edward asked. How could he allow his wife to be at a disadvantage? Obviously, he would take her side to win her heart and forgiveness. Afterwards, they could express their appreciation to Millicent together.

"What are good genes without humanity?" Millicent rebuked Edward.

After everything she had done to help Edward win Irene back, she didn't expect him to abandon her so quickly. Though it was to be expected, for Irene was his wife.

Elio sat next to Millicent and saw her pout cutely. He felt that she was a simple girl.

Of course, they knew who Millicent was referring to. But when they thought about it, they realised she was actually offended by the comment.

"C'mon, Millicent. Not all human genes are good, right?" Irene asked. She couldn't let Edward "bully" her best friend, so she had to help her.

Her dissatisfaction with Edward grew.

However, Edward assumed that he was now on Irene's good side. He thought this would help him resolve the misunderstanding. But he was wrong.

"Yes, yes, Irene is correct!" Edward interjected before Millicent could answer. He thought he was flattering Irene.

Elio was speechless as he sat there silently. He observed the way the conversation was going and thought that Millicent was going to be cannon fodder.

"Is that so? Looks like I haven't learnt much in university, because I don't really understand such profound questions. Perhaps you should ask other people about it. Hehe," Millicent said, playing dumb.

She obviously knew she would be cannon fodder for Irene and Edward. Therefore, she needed to shift the focus before she "died" without knowing what hit her.

"Irene, I want to take a short nap. Wake me up when we arrive," Elio said. He wasn't stupid. He didn't want to be caught in the middle of their "war" like Millicent was.

Millicent's original intention was to divert Irene and Edward's attention to Elio. That was why he needed to pretend to sleep, lest he joined Millicent in being cannon fodder for the married couple.

"Okay, don't worry," Irene answered thoughtfully.
