Infatuated with my Ex-wife

Chapter 51 She Was Depressed

Edward put his cell phone away. Irene did not answer the phone. The mechanical female voice from

the system confused him. Logically, since Irene had come to the company to find him, even if she did

not want to apologize, she must want to reconcile with him. But why did not she answer the phone?

After thinking for a while, Edward decided to make another call. Maybe... she was busy with something

else, so she might not have heard the phone ring.

And recently she was muddleheaded.

But this time, when she called, it was shown directly that she was on the phone...

That Edward more puzzled," Was she angry again because she had not found him? No, Irene was not

that kind of person."

So he called his home, a maid answered the phone.

"Is Irene at home?" Edward asked.

"Irene asked the driver to send her out this morning, and she has not eturned yet." The maid had some

doubt in her heart. This morning she had distinctly heard the driver say he would send her to the

company. Why didn't she go?And where was she?

...

"If Irene came back, please call me." Then he hung up the phone.

"If she didn't go back home, then where did she go after leaving the office?’

Edward blamed himself for not taking his phone with him as he thinking of that.

Obviously, Irene was angry with him if she didn't answere his phone. He did not understand why things

were getting more complicated. Was it because Irene had met someone when she came here and

heard something...?

Edward thought for a while and then asked the receptionist come to hid office.

...

Irene didn't want to talk to Edward because she was very depressed now...

When she left the café and got into the car, she did not know where to go. She could only let the driver

drop her off at the sidewalk and slowly walked on the street. She didn't want to go home because thier

house was occupied with Edward scent. All she wanted now was a place without Edward.

She picked up her phone and called Millicent.

"Millicent?" Irene said with some grievance.

Millicent was drawing in the studio, covered in paint. She put her head on her cell phone. "What's

wrong? Irene?"

"Are you free?" At this time, Irene did not know who she should talk to except Millicent.

"Yes." Millicent felt Irene was depressed through her tone. Something must have happened. "Come to

my house. I'll be waiting for you."

Irene hung up the phone after saying "okay", and then took a taxi to Millicent's home.

In the taxi, Irene looked at the view out of the window. Suddently, her phone vibrated and she saw the

message from Edward.

"Irene, where are you? Call me. Don't make me worry." It said.

Irene was still angry. She did not want to answer his messages. So he just turned off the phone like

what Edward did this morning.

Looking at the dark screen, Irene put the phone into her bag and ignored it.

...

When Irene arrived at Millicent's house, Millicent had changed her clothes.

They sat in the yard where were some fruits and drinks on the table. Irene, however, did not want to eat

at all. Instead, she propped her chin up with her hands and pouted.

Millicent could tell that Irene was in a bad mood. She asked a in concerned tone, "Irene, what

happened? Have not you made up with Edward?"

Hearing Edwrad's name, Irene felt mad in her heart. She nodded, looking depressed like a pet

abandoned by its owner.

Millicent laughed, "That's not like you, Irene. I remember how Edward treated you in the past. He even

had a child with another women, but you never felt so depressed."

Irene sighed and said, "You have no idea. I always felt I owed Edward because he did not like me, but

Granny forced him to be with me."

When Irene mentioned those days, she was silent for a moment, and then she continued, "so I can

stand no matter how he treated me back then."

"But now, I am like a little rabbit trapped in the trap of his love. I begin to care about him more and I

don't not know how to escape this trap.

Millicent understood Irene. She had learnt form the past five years, the one who fallen in love first

would always be the loser.

Irene looked at the fence in the yard and her eyes blurred. She seemed to be talking to Millicent and

talking to herself. "Now, I have known how good Edward is, so I can't bear that he return to that man

who didn't care about me at all."

"I just don't want to lose him, just like I don't want to lose the candy that has already in my pocket."

Millicent saw that her good friend was so sad, nut she did not know how to comfort her, " Irene. Tell me,

then, what happened between you and Edward?"

The problem could be solved only if one knew the cause.

Irene took a deep breath and then turned to Millicen, "You told me the bad things would be passsed

after a sleept. But yesterday, Edward didn't come back after our arguement."

...

"He didn't go back home. Maybe he just went somewhere else." Millicent didn't think that Edward was

such a person who would go to find other women for a small quarrel. If it was true, he was not worth

Irene's love.

He didn't go to sleep.

Irene averted her gaze, and after a long silence, she said, "He did go to other places." Then she

paused, and her eyes grew moist. She looked at Millicent and said, "He was with Celine last night."

After saying this, the tears in Irene's eyes could no longer be held back. Hearing what Eric had said in

the café, she already felt a little unbearable. She just did't want to cry in front of a stranger.

At this moment, she could no longer bear it , leaned on the table and began to cry.

Millicent didn't believe that Edward went to Celine's place. If he so easily threw himself into another

woman's arms, Edward wouldn't have been this kind to Irene in the past few years.

Millicent, however, felt that Edward was sincere towards Irene. She clearly remembered the tone of his

call when Irene was missing - this kind of concern was definitely not an act.

Millicent looked at Irene, who leaned on and cried the table. She must love Edward very much.

Otherwise, why would she be so sad? Millicent walked over and gently stroked Irene's back to comfort

her.

"Irene, there is one thing I have not told you. When you disappeared, Edward had called me." Millicent

felt it necessary to tell Irene about this.

"Was that true?" Irene raised her head slightly with tears in her eyes.

"Edward called you. I could feel that he was really worried about you. He was absolutely sincere to

you." Millicent said. At that time, Millicent envied Irene, because she had a man who was so worried

about her.

Millicent continued, "You said he went to Celine, Did you see it with your own eyes or heard from

others? Maybe this person just want to break your relationship."

"I only heard from Eric."Irene muttered.

"Could it be that Eric was doing this on purpose?" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Hearing this, Millicent continued, "Well, Irene, maybe it's a misunderstanding. You think too much.

When you go back, you can talk about it clearly. You should understand each other because you're

couples who live together."

"What about the phone call? He called home this morning and asked the servants to bring him things.

He knew I was home. He knew I did not sleep well last night, but he did not even mention me."

"What's more, I looked for him at the company. i didn't find him but noticed that he left his phone in the

office and switched it off.

Millicent laughed and pinched Irene's face.

"What made you so childish. Although he usually spoils you and indulges you, he is still a man. He

needs time to convince himself to apologise to you. Will you still like him if he is such a soft man?"

"I...uh..." Irene couldn't refute Millicent's words or couldn't say anything else.

Irene recognized her own behaviours. She popped up in the office without telling him in advance, didn't

answer his phone call and messege, and turned her phone off with no reason.

Irene felt she was immature when she thought all of these. She scratched her head embarrassedly.

"Millicent, I don't want to go back anyway. Can I stay here for a while?"

Irene begged Millicent.

Millicent smiled, "Well, you can stay as long as you want. But if Mr. Wilson comes to you later, I won't

keep you stay."

Irene nodded as she silently took her cell phone out of her bag and turned it on.

...

It was noon. When Edward was told that Irene was still not home but she told the maid that she would

eat outsied.

When Edward heard the news, his felt relieved a little. As long as she was not missing.

On the other side, Irene and Millicent had just finished lunch. They went to Millicent's room to take a

nap. They chatted for a while and then fell asleep.

Millicent woke up early, she took a bath to make herself more awake. Just as she was about to go for a

walk, her phone rang. Irene's sleeping face frowned. She quickly ran over, picked up the phone,

carefully closed the door, and went out to answer the call.

It was Edward. She took it and said, "Hello! Mr. Wilson."

Edward asked, "Hello, Miss Baker. Is Irene with you?"

Millicent was not intend to hide and told the truth.

Edward hesitated for a moment. "How is she doing? Has she had lunch?"

Millicent took a glance at the bedroom and said, "Irene is napping. And yeah we already had luch."

"Miss Baker, thank you for taking care of Irene. We had a quarrel. She is not willing to answer my call

now. I will pick her up later." Edward hung up the phone after he finished.
