Infatuated with my Ex-wife novel Chapter 89

Irene had never been so nervous before. It was her first time wearing such pyjamas before Edward, and she felt extremely embarrassed.

Irene had thought about what she should do if they were to sleep together. To be honest, she was a little resistant to it now. She was so lost in thought and didn't pay attention to her steps, so she lost her balance.

Edward stepped forwards and caught her in his arms.

His warm hands were placed around her waist, and there was a heavy blush on Irene's face. 

Irene recalled how he held her and comforted her in the garden earlier. It had been a long time since they were so intimate with each other.

Edward slowly leaned down as he looked at his beloved wife.

Irene shut her eyes in confusion when she saw his handsome face approaching hers.

They shared a fleeting kiss.

The very next moment, Irene leapt to her senses and recalled Celine's issue. She pushed her husband away and ran to the bed, covering herself with the quilt.

Edward was caught by surprise and almost stumbled. He was still entranced by her beauty and continued to stare at her.

Irene wanted to laugh as she looked at him, but her heart was filled with bitterness. She needed more time before she could bridge the gap between their hearts.

The events that transpired in the past would prick her like a thorn every now and then.

They both felt rather embarrassed.

"It's getting late. Good night, Irene. I'll sleep outside, so just call me if you need anything," Edward said awkwardly.

He knew Irene needed some space right now, and he also needed to take a cold shower to cool off.

It seemed like he still had a long way to go.

"Forget it. I was the one who brought it upon myself," Edward thought bitterly.

Irene felt a twinge in her heart as she watched his lonely figure walk out the door. Just for a moment, she wanted to call out to him, but she stopped herself. Perhaps time would wash away everything.

As Irene recalled what Edward had done recently, she thought of how good things would've been if he had done so from the start. The many things that transpired wouldn't have occurred.

When Edward woke up the next morning, he decided to give Irene a surprise. He wanted to tell her his sincerity through practical actions.

With a mysterious expression on his face, he went to wake Irene up and bring her to the dining table.

"Breakfast for my beloved, Irene! I made it myself. Here, have a bite," Edward said as he stared at her, seeking her praise.

Irene couldn't help laughing when she saw Edward wait for her praise, much like a giant dog.

Irene had never thought that someday Edward would prepare such a sumptuous meal for her. After all, he had never been in the kitchen.

Irene was quite moved. She picked up her spoon and had a taste. It was good.

"It's delicious," Irene said with a gentle smile.

"That's good then. Eat up! I'll prepare breakfast for you every day from now on," Edward said. He began to smile brightly.

Edward felt very satisfied as he watched his wife eat the food he had prepared.

Suddenly, his phone rang and broke the happy atmosphere.

Edward frowned when he heard his trusted subordinate's report.

"Let him be. We'll have plenty of opportunities to deal with him in the future. He is nothing but a clown right now," Edward said unhappily. His good mood had been ruined before he could even begin to savour it.

When she saw him so upset, Irene asked, "What happened to the company?"

"It's nothing important. Come, have a taste of this," Edward changed the topic. He didn't want to trouble her with company affairs. He would surely find a way to deal with Eric in the future, so it wouldn't hurt to let things be for now.

Irene could tell he was being evasive right now, so she didn't press him any further.

After breakfast, Edward brought Irene out for a walk and answered a phone call halfway.

"Irene, you can stroll around for a bit before having lunch. I'll pick you up later at night."

Irene saw that he was in a hurry, so she said, "Okay. You should settle your matters first."

Edward was worried, so he told her to be careful before leaving reluctantly.

Irene didn't know that he left to set up a big surprise. She would find out later that night.

As the sun began to set and the skies began to darken, the streetlights lit up and enveloped the entire city in a hazy atmosphere.

Irene was strolling aimlessly on the street when she received a call from Edward. He asked her to come over, but she didn't know what he had in store for her.

Suddenly, a little girl dressed in white and adorned with pair of wings on her back appeared before Irene. Resembling a little angel, she handed her a red rose and said, "Miss! Follow me!"

Irene was reminded of her baby when she looked at this child, and her heart softened.

Along the way, she received a lot of red roses from strangers. Irene was confused and asked them why, but they only smiled at her.

Irene decided to ask the little girl, "Where are you taking me, little one? Who asked you to do this?"

Irene figured that the same person must've organised the passers-by and the little girl.

"A beautiful lady asked me to," said the little girl sweetly.

Irene was even more confused.
