Infatuated with my Ex-wife novel Chapter 95

Celine was left with nothing except revenge. One should never underestimate the wrath of a woman.

Eric then returned to home.

He told his father to find a way to ask Madeline, even Claudia or Edward, for help. Anything would do, as long as they could leave after the wedding.

Meanwhile, Edward listened to his subordinate's report. They had lost track of Eric when he went out today, but he had returned home soon after.

Edward didn't care about it—he was busy with the wedding. He wasn't too worried about Eric because he was to leave soon. What could he possibly do?

Edward would regret his foolish ignorance in the future.

When Edward returned home, he saw Irene reading the mermaid's tale to Charlotte.

"The little mermaid stared at the prince longingly before she faded away into sea foam."

Edward said helplessly, "Charlotte is still too young to understand."

"Oh, c'mon. I'd like to believe she is a quick learner. Let me do as I please."

It was rare to see Irene acting cute, so Edward said, "Alright, alright. You're right." He paused before continuing, "This isn't a good ending though. If I was the prince, I wouldn't treat the mermaid princess like this."

"Yeah! I don't like this ending either. I really wish they could've lived happily ever after," Irene said. This was her favourite story when she was a child, and she would cry every time she read it.

"Oh, right. Do you like Mr. Karel Nar's work? I want him to design our wedding rings," said Edward.

"Ah, his works are famous for their dreamlike beauty. There are only a handful of designs in each series, and they are all of good quality. But hasn't he announced his retirement?"

The master had only created a limited amount of precious masterpieces. Irene was looking forward to seeing Edward's decision.

"It's a surprise, so I won't tell you," Edward said mysteriously.

Edward's mother had some connections with Mr. Karel Nar, and he had asked some people to contact him. The master finally gave in and decided to design another exclusive set, "Heart of the Sea", for them.

It matched the theme of the wedding, and Irene was sure to like it. As it turned out, it was a good decision to listen to Millicent's opinion about Irene's preferences.

...

Today, Millicent paid a visit to Irene.

"It's been a while, Irene," Millicent greeted. She felt very happy for her best friend.

"Millicent, it's been forever! Here I was, thinking you were busy dating someone," Irene said in surprise.

"A relationship? No, it's not like that. Edward told me to give you some space. I was told not to disturb your time with him," Millicent said. She felt a little jealous. Edward did not appreciate her help at all! Without her, there was no way he could convince Irene to come back.

Irene didn't know how to react to that. This was truly Edward's character.

"It's fine, don't be angry. You know how he is," Irene comforted her.

"Hmmph! Look at you defending him. What an ungrateful man he is!" Millicent complained.

"It's not like you aren't aware how grand his proposal was. So enviable!" Millicent said sadly.

"Alright, alright. Enough about me. How's your relationship with Elio going?" Irene asked. She was very happy now. However, she was worried about Millicent and Elio. She had always felt a little guilty about them.

"Elio and I... Oh, c'mon, you know how it is! Nothing much has changed! Why are you bringing him up suddenly?" Millicent asked bashfully.

Over the past few days, both of them would meet up frequently for coffee dates. They'd talk about many things, and she was helping him with his blind date troubles.

Things were going well until the day they bumped into Elio's mother. She was very enthusiastic and wished them happiness.

Millicent and Elio were very embarrassed about it. Then he explained to her that his parents only did this because they were worried they were faking it.

After spending so much time with each other, Millicent began to think that Elio had caught some feelings for her. But she also thought she was getting ahead of herself. After all, she wasn't sure if he still had feelings for Irene. She felt rather distressed.

Irene could see that both of them simply needed some time. Things were going great, after all.

"Alright, don't overthink. Elio will figure things out sooner or later," Irene comforted.

"Yeah!" Millicent hummed in agreement. Surely, Elio would be feeling a little blue during Edward and Irene's wedding. If she were to comfort him at such a vulnerable time, perhaps she could inch her way into his heart.

"Millicent, you must be my bridesmaid at my wedding."

"Of course! How can I be absent from your wedding? I will definitely catch your bouquet," Millicent said happily.

"Then who do you want to be the best man?" Irene teased Millicent.
