Infatuated with my Ex-wife

Chapter 42 I Still Like You Very Much

After coming out of the supermarket, Edward drove Irene home. On the passanger seat, Irene could

not wait to open the dried plum and put it in her mouth. If it was before, she would not believe that she

would eat something so sour, but now she felt it tastes great.

Edward saw Irene's satisfied expression in the mirror, looking like a child.

After eating for a while, Irene got an idea. She picked up one and fed it into Edward's mouth. He

couldn't resist his wife, so he forced himself to eat one. The sour flavor let Edward understand that his

wife was really pregnant. Otherwise, how could she stand such sour taste?

Because it was too sour, Irene frowned. Seeing thia, Edward grinned.

Lunch was cooked by Edward. Edward thought Irene should be a little tired because if the shopping

and asked her to go to rest, However, Irene insisted on helping Edward. The meal was cooked slowly

by the couple. They ate slowly but joyfully.

During their nap, Madeline called them and asked Irene if she felt better. She invited them to return to

the old house for dinner. And Edward's mother would come too.

"I have not seen grandma for a long time." Irene leaned into Edward's arms. "By the way, you did not

tell her about the thing of that night,right? After all she is too old to worry abot us."

Edward rubbed Irene's face and knew what she was worrying about. "No!"

There was silence in the bedroom. They embraced and fell asleep under the warm sunshine.

...

They drove to Madeline's house after map.

"Edward, grandma likes the desserts of Lee Shop. Shall we buy some?" Irene suggested.

Edward agreed. They went to Lee shop before they got to Madeline's house.

When they entered, Madeline was chatting with Claudia, Edward's mother. When she saw them enter,

Madam Wilson smiled cheerfully.

"Here you are," she pointed to the seat near her, "come here, Irene, sit here, sit next to me."

Irene picked up the desserts and sat down. "Grandmother, Edward and I bought your

favorite desserts . Grandma, do you want to try some now?"

Edward sat opposite them.

Madeline took Irene's hand and said kindly, "I know Irene cares me the most. Unlike Edward, who only

annoys me all day long."

"Grandmother! How dare I!" said Edward. His voice was different from usual, and he looked more like a

child.

Madeline looked at Claudia and smiled, "See, he just answered back."

In Irene's eyes Claudia was a lady from a respectable family. She rarely spoke. She had been abroad

for years, she had a natural gentle temperament and was good-humoured.

"Edward, your grandmother is right. She loved you too much. You are not as considerate as Irene."

"I have to warn you, Irene is a treasure of me. If you don't treat her well, your mother and I will not

spare you. If she is not happy, I will be the first to spare you."

Edward understood how much his mother and grandma love Irene. Not to mention them, if he made

Irene unhappy, he would not forgive himself.

Edward glanced at his wife, who was smirking and eating grapes and looking at him as if she was

watching a good show. He clenched his fist slightly and coughed at her. He replied, "Okay, Grandma,

everything you say is right. I'll listen to you."

Seeing Irene eating grapes, Madeline looked at Claudia and smiled. "Irene love eating sour grapes!"

Edward thought that Irene did like eating sour things. She had already eaten tens of the dried plum in

the morning. If he hadn't stopped her and said that she couldn have eaten all of them.

Madeline's eyes narrowed into slits when she heard that. "As the saying goes, If a woman like to eat

sour, she would have a boy, if spicy, she might be pregnant with a gril." Madeline paused as if she had

thought of something. "Claudia, you like to eat sour food when you were pregnant with Edward. Do you

remember that you had even eaten the grapes that wasn't ripe in my garden?"

"Mom, you are right!" Claudia answered.

Madeline was even happier. "''Actually, it does not matter whether the baby is a man or a woman. As

long as it is born, it will be the favourite of my family."

Then Madeline said to the maid, "Pick some fresh grapes for Irene before they leave."

The servant received the order and left for the graden.

Hearing this,Irene felt a little embarrassed. She couldn't help but eat sour food.

Before dinner, Irene and Claudia went to the grape garden of Madeline.

Edward he didn't go with them because he had to answered a business call from a company who had

cooperated with him. After chatting for a while, he hung up. Now he couldn't wait to be with Irene all the

time.

His phone rang again after he just hung up. It was Celine.

He hesitated whether to pick it up or not. Originally he had nothing to do with her. He had an

unexpected child after he was drunk. Now the child was gone and he had been with Irene. He didn't

have had anything to do with other women. But as a man, he owed Celine, so after some hesitation, he

answered the phone.

"Edward..." Celine's voice came from the other end of the phone. She was crying heavily.

She was crying!

"What do you want?" This was a bass voice Celine had never heard before. It was so cold that one felt

deeply alienated.

"Edward, I... miss you so much."

"Celine, I already have a wife." Knowing that he owed her, Edward tried his best to slow down the

voice.

Wife?

Celine felt sad. She knew that he just used her as a tool to resist the marriage imposed on him by

Wilson. And for that reason, he didn't like Irene before.

But now, did he like Irene? Was that the reason he didn't want to talk to her?

Celine held back her tears and said, "I know, Edward. I have a bad reputation now. People on the

internet are scolding me. But I did not do anything wrong. I am really sad."

Hearing Celine's crying on the phone, Edward said, "I'll find someone to hold things on the Internet.

Hope you ca have a good rest!" He wanted to hang up the phone.

"No, Edward, please, can you talk to me? Even though I say we are still friends, I still like you. I can not

help but miss you. I really can not stand that kind of longing."

Over there, Celine was on the verge of collapse, and her cries became louder and louder.

"Celine, you know that I have always considered you as my sister. In the past, I have not seen my own

heart clearly. I used you to make grandmother and Irene angry. But now I am very sure that I like Irene.

So I am sorry."

Celine wanted to say something else, but the phone on the other side had been switched off. For

Edward, he just wanted to cut the knot and have no more contact with Celine. Just as he did not want

to see Elio and Irene being too intimate, he knew that feeling too well. He didn't want make Irene down.

Hearing Edward's words, the hatred in Celine's heart raised.

Why did Irene get what she strove for so easily? What did her efforts mean during these years? The

reason she had tried so hard was to catch up with Edward. But now Irene took everything from her.

He had just put his phone away when he turned and saw Madelin standing behind him. It seemed she

had been standing there for a long time. So she had to know who he was talking to, "Grandmother."

Madeline said patiently, "Edward, Irene is a good girl. Now that you are her husband, you should not

have any contact with other women."

"I know." Edward walked over and held Madeline . "I wasn't sure who I liked before. Now, Irene and I

are getting along well. I won't do what I used to do to make her sad."

Madeline sighed. "I know you had always been angry with me for managing your marriage so casually.

But since you grew up alongside me, I know what suits you best."

After a pause, Madeline released her hand from his grasp. "All right, that's all I wanr to say. Go get

Irene and your mother. It's time for supper."

"Yes." Edward answered and left.

...

Celine sat on the bed in a daze.

The silence in the room was finally broken by the shrill ringing of the telephone. She looked at the caller All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

and let it ring for a moment before slowly picking it up.

When Edward arrived at the grape garden, Claudia and Irene had already picked some grapes. They

came out talking and laughing.

When Irene came out, she saw Edward standing in the dusk with a smile. She wondered why he ended

the phone so quickly. In her memory, it usually took less than half an hour to finish the conversation.

"You finished the phone so quickly?"

Edward touched his chin and replied with a smile, "Nothing serious today." Seeing Claudia and Irene

chatting happily, he asked, "What were you talking about? Why were you so happily?"

Claudia looked at Irene and said, "Nothing. I am having an exhibition of paintings the coming Monday.

I'd like to invite Irene to come."
