Infatuated with my Ex-wife

Edward received Millicent's text just as he was about to reach the airport. His anxiety spiked and he pedalled even faster.

"I'll be there in a few minutes. Please buy me some time," Edward replied. Time had never passed so slowly before and the road to the airport felt endless.

"Okay," Millicent replied.

However, there was only so much she could do to stall Irene. If Edward didn't arrive at the airport in time, everything would've been for nought.

"Alright guys, I should go check in," Irene said. There were less people in the queue to check in, so she stood up. Reluctant as she was, she needed to stick to her decision.

"Okay. Irene, let me carry your baby for you. It'll be more convenient that way," Millicent said, trying to stall. Like this, Irene would need to come to get her baby before passing the security gates. Edward would now have slightly more time.

"Millicent, are you trying to stall time for Edward?" Elio asked after Irene left. He noticed what Millicent had been doing.

He saw how anxious Millicent had been when she looked at her phone.

"Yeah. I know how much they love each other, but Celine and Eric's villainous plan wedged a misunderstanding between them. As Irene's best friend, I should do something to help them."

Millicent spoke her mind without caring what Elio might think about her.

In any case, Elio didn't like her. That had always been obvious, hadn't it?

"You did the right thing, Millicent," Elio said. He didn't expect her to be so concerned about Irene or treat her so well. He felt like he had just met her for the first time.

"Yeah. Thanks for understanding, Elio," Millicent said in surprise. She thought he would oppose her, but he didn't.

"It's okay. I can see how much you care about Irene. It's hard to find such a good friend nowadays," Elio said sincerely.

"Alright, I'm leaving. I'll contact both of you once I reach Italy. Bye!" Irene said as she took her child from Millicent before turning around.
