Infatuated with my Ex-wife
Chapter 61: Who Fell in Love First?
In fact, what Edward said was very suspicious, and Irene could see through all the loopholes.
In the first place, Edward would not neglect his family simply because of work. Secondly, he was under the supervision of both Eric and his father in the company. Last of all, ever since she found out she was pregnant, his mother and grandmother would not allow him to come home late, and they also forbade him from attending social activities.
Irene figured that since Edward didn't want to tell her the truth, he must have his own reasons. He wasn't the sort to act without rationality, after all. Perhaps hearing the truth would hurt her instead, hence the reason he hid it from her.
On that note, Irene didn't dwell on the heart-wrenching matter any longer.
"Mmhm, Edward, you must be exhausted after a long day of work. Quickly wash up and join me in bed!" said Irene thoughtfully.
"Irene, you're so sweet!"
Edward didn't think that Irene would accept his explanation just like that. He could really feel Irene's loving kindness and her trust in him.
He kissed Irene's forehead as he spoke, love and affection gleaming in his eyes.
"Edward, what are you talking about? Go and wash up," said Irene. She could feel the warmth in her heart blossom as she listened to his words. She could finally see the fruits of her persistence, since Edward finally noticed it after many years.
"Okay, Irene, I'll listen to you. I'll do whatever you say. If you tell me to go east, I'll be sure not to go west..." Edward teased Irene. He looked at the easily flustered Irene, her reactions tempting him to go further.
Edward wanted to tease her and see her happy expression, though it was actually because he found it amusing.
"Pfft... Now go take your bath," said Irene with a giggle. She reached out and threw a pillow at him.
The current Edward was no longer the untouchable Prince Charming that he was back in their schooling days. Back then, she felt that he was a very likeable person to all, but none dared to approach him. All the girls at school would tell themselves to be satisfied just by admiring him from a distance.
How could Edward have such a playful side to him? If Irene told Millicent about this later, they were sure to have a good laugh. After all, Edward was the hot guy that everyone liked but didn't dare to approach.
"Irene, what do you think of my skills?" asked Edward with a devilish smile after he caught the pillow with ease.
