Infatuated with my Ex-wife

Irene's quiet sobs could be easily heard in the ward. She couldn't stop her tears from flowing despite being comforted by the others. She told them not to worry, for she would be alright after letting all her tears out.

"Irene! What happened?" Edward asked with concern. He could hear her crying as soon as he stepped foot into the ward, so he quickened his pace and ran inside.

Edward hurried to Irene side and wiped away her tears. He wrapped his arms around her in an attempt to comfort her, not wanting her to be sad.

His heart ached when he saw her cry, and his heart rejoiced when he saw her radiant smile. However, he wasn't aware how many tears Irene had shed because of him.

"You're here, Edward. I'm alright," Irene said, feeling warm and secure in his arms. Nevertheless, she knew that this hug wasn't exclusive to her. Edward had also hugged Celine in this manner.

"I'd rather not accept the gift that you've offered everyone," Irene thought.

Irene suddenly recalled reading this quote from a book in the school library when she went to borrow some books with Millicent.

Back then, she thought the writer was very arrogant. So she asked for Millicent's opinion about it—would you accept a gift that has been offered to everyone?

"Hmm, I'm not sure. I guess it depends on who's the one offering it," Millicent had replied. Irene could still hear those words echoing in her mind.

"Oh my, Millicent, what a pretentious answer! Honestly though, I don't know what I'd do either," Irene said, before bursting into laughter with Millicent.

"I'm pretentious? Hehe, looks like I'll need to show you my true colors..."

"Millicent!"

...

This was what they discussed at that time, and they couldn't find an answer.

However, Irene now shared the same sentiments with the author—she would definitely refuse.

"Don't cry, Irene. It pains me to see your tears. Share your sorrows with me, my dear," Edward coaxed her gently.
