Infatuated with my Ex-wife novel Chapter 99

Children were very sensitive to tense atmospheres. Charlotte burst into tears when she couldn't find any familiar faces around her.

"What are you crying about?! You're still a baby, but you're exactly like your mother! Crying pitifully is the only thing that you only know! What a nuisance!" Celine yelled.

Irene felt distressed when she heard her baby crying.

"Please, Celine! Let go of my child. She is innocent!" Irene cried.

Edward supported Irene and yelled, "What a vicious person you are! You would actually hurt a child!"

Edward signalled for his men to stop approaching Celine as he spoke.

At that moment, Celine took the opportunity to run past the security guards to the railing of the deck. If she wasn't careful, both of them would fall into the water together.

Edward and Irene were shocked. What if something happened to Charlotte?!

"Don't move, Celine!" Edward yelled.

Celine grinned viciously when she saw the distress on Irene's face.

"Are you hurt, Irene? It makes me happy to see you so distressed! But this is nothing compared to the pain I went through! Have you ever been concerned about how I felt when you snatched my man?" Celine asked hatefully.

"What do you want?!" Edward yelled. He felt quite upset when he saw Irene's distress.

This happened because he failed to kill Celine. If she wasn't alive right now, none of this would've happened. Not only had she ruined their wedding, but she had also kidnapped their child and threatened to harm her! Their top priority was to ensure Charlotte's safety.

"Please, let go of my child! I'll do anything you want! I'm begging you, Celine!" Irene cried bitterly.

As a mother, Irene was more concerned about her child. In addition to that, Charlotte was born prematurely. Irene was really worried about what Celine would do in her mentally unstable state.

"I want you to die!" Celine screamed.

"Hey! Celine, that's too extreme!" Edward shouted. He kept his eyes on Irene because he was afraid she might do something foolish.

"Edward, don't worry. I'm not that stupid. I know Celine just wants to hurt me," Irene said in comfort.

Edward was relieved to hear her words.

"Celine! I'll be your hostage instead. Let Charlotte go," Irene said after she gave it some thought.

"Irene, did you forget what you've promised me?" Edward asked. He was upset. He knew how much Celine hated Irene. What would she do if she got her hands on her?

"Alright!" Celine agreed. This was what she had been waiting for! Irene had always been her main target!

However, she never got a chance to get close because people surrounded Irene constantly. Irene was also very vigilant and there wasn't much Celine could do even if she got close. Therefore, Celine could only kidnap her child. 

As it turned out, she managed to get the result she wanted. Irene had played right into her hands. 

In addition to mental torture, Celine wanted to torment Irene physically too. She wanted her to suffer the same way she did when she was robbed of her man! Then she would finally get her revenge. 

She wanted to tear them apart, so they would never meet anymore! If Celine couldn't have Edward, neither could Irene!

Edward grew worried when he saw how readily Irene agreed. He didn't want to exchange Irene for Charlotte.

He could easily have another child if he lost Charlotte, but what could he do if he lost his wife? Edward would be unable to bear the pain. He didn't want to imagine a life without Irene. Perhaps he would live like a zombie.

"Celine is mentally unstable right now. She isn't armed, and I'm not that weak. I can handle her. Don't worry, I'll find a way to escape once I'm there. Everything will be fine as long as you keep watch," Irene whispered.

"No. Your safety is not to be taken lightly," Edward said in disagreement.

"Are you guys done discussing? I might just change my mind if you keep me waiting!" Celine said impatiently.

"Celine, you had better keep your word!" Irene said.

"Of course!" Celine said meaningfully.

Irene couldn't care less. She didn't want Celine to take back her words and hurt Charlotte, so she pried Edward's arm off her and ran over to Celine.

"I'm sorry, Edward. I'm really worried about Charlotte," Irene said apologetically.

Edward couldn't stop her in time. He could only watch as she headed towards Celine.

"Irene!" Elio and Millicent yelled. Irene gave them a look of reassurance, steadily approaching Celine.
