Infatuated with my Ex-wife novel Chapter 87

Millicent was nervous, and her heart raced even though Elio wasn't physically there.

"Millicent, have you fallen asleep? Can you do me a favour the day after tomorrow?" Millicent found it strange that Elio asked her for help. What did he need her to do?

"I'm awake. Wha is it?" Millicent replied. She wasn't sure what he wanted.

Elio was her senior, so he wouldn't ask her for help with painting. Perhaps he needed help with private affairs.

Now that he texted her, Millicent wondered if he saw her previous text message. Did he ignore it?

"I'll tell you later. It's not too difficult, I promise. I believe you'll be able to do it. Well, it's getting late. Good night," Elio replied with a smile on his face.

He felt quite happy ever since he began talking to Millicent. He wasn't sure when he began paying attention to her.

"Okay, good night!"

Millicent felt super happy as she replied. If they communicated more, perhaps he could begin to see her qualities?

Moreover, Irene was married and had a baby. Millicent stood a better chance now that Elio had to give up on Irene.

"Okay," Elio replied briefly.

Instead of letting his mother force him to go on a blind date with a stranger, Elio figured he could spend the day with a friend he actually knew.

Moreover, Elio could tell that Millicent's family also wanted her to get into a relationship soon. As time passed, they too would arrange a blind date for her. Asking her for this favour benefitted both of them.

"Haha! I didn't expect he would reply!" Millicent giggled when she read Elio's message.

Meanwhile, Irene was upset. Ever since Millicent and Elio went home, Claudia and Madeline had a special nanny take care of Charlotte.

They wanted to give Edward and Irene some space so they could communicate and resolve matters. That way, peace would be restored.

"Irene, let's go for a walk," Edward asked gently after everyone left. However, she didn't want to spend time with him.

"No, I don't want to," Irene said. She wanted an excuse not to be with him.

"C'mon, let's go. You've eaten a lot just now, so it's good to go for a walk to let the food settle."

Irene couldn't really say no to that reasonable logic. She had swallowed every bit of food that was served to her earlier because she was too embarrassed to refuse Madeline and Claudia.

Moreover, Irene heard that it was easy to lose her slender figure after childbirth. She didn't want that to happen.

"Fine, a short walk won't hurt," Irene agreed reluctantly. After all, Edward was the one who came up with the idea.

"Okay, I'll always listen to my dearest wife. Whatever you say is law," Edward flattered. He knew that women cared about their figures. As expected, he was able to convince Irene.

After all, Irene loved beauty too. But no matter how she looked in the future, Edward would love her dearly either way. He wanted to grow old with her.

"Alright, let's go. Still, why do you talk like I'm a bad person? What was that about my word is law? You make it sound as if I don't have the ability to judge," Irene huffed in annoyance.

Irene felt a little weird when he tried to flatter her after she finally caved and agreed.
