Infatuated with my Ex-wife

"Millicent, why are you so quiet? Am I that scary?" Elio asked as he drove.

Elio felt that Millicent was always quiet when she was with him, but she was very chatty when she was with Irene. Was he really that scary? He felt a little upset.

"N-No, how could you be scary?" Millicent answered quickly. She was afraid Elio would misunderstand.

"I like you. How can I be afraid of you?" Millicent could only keep this to herself.

"Is that true? Then why do I feel that you treat me differently from the way you treat Irene and Edward?" Elio asked bluntly. He felt that they were quite similar, able to speak whatever was on their minds.

"How could it be the same?" Millicent blurted out. Immediately after, she thought she responded too quickly and regretted it.

They were at a traffic light now, so Elio braked and looked at Millicent curiously. He asked, "Oh, what's the difference?"

She was shocked and took a while to react. "Everyone is different, so you'll definitely feel different with different people. Don't you think so?" Millicent answered hurriedly.

"Of course it's different. How could it be the same? You're the person I like. They're just my best friends. How could feelings of friendship and love feel the same?" Millicent thought.

She suddenly remembered that Elio was still learning how to paint. She didn't expect he would be so straightforward. Millicent looked at Elio unconsciously, lost in her thoughts. She didn't notice that Elio was staring at her too.

"Honk! Are you guys going to move? Don't block the road!" Elio was the first to snap out of it. He saw that the light had already turned green—no wonder the people behind were scolding them. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed, so he drove away quickly.

"Millicent, why did you look at me like that?" Elio asked straightforwardly. He wasn't sure why he didn't want to conceal anything before Millicent and would ask her whatever was on his mind every time.
