Infatuated with my Ex-wife

Chapter 32  Protect The One You Love Like A Knight

Hearing this, Edward paused and looked back at Beth who was alone, he said coldly. "Get in the car. I

only picked you up because of Irene. "

In the car filled with flicked lights, Edward leaned against the back of the chair to have a rest.

Beth secretly looked at the man next to her, with a cold face, a high nose, and thin lips...

Beth was more fascinated by this man. She also became more determined to compete with her half-

sister for her husband.

...

When Edward returned home, he found Irene still awake and was watching TV in the living room.

"You are back. Why are you so late today?" Irene took over the coat and smelled the faint alcohol smell

on Edward’s clothes. She understood.

"I'm going to attend a party tonight. We'll definitely have a few drinks and I'll come home late." Edward

replied lightly.

Irene knew that Edward had many such events, so she didn’t ask anymore.

"You haven't slept since it's so late. Are you waiting for me?" Looking at the little woman who had been

busy since he came back, Edward couldn't help teasing her.

"I didn't. I just wanted to watch TV. I didn't realize that you were back." Irene retorted back as she

looked at the man's teasing eyes.

"I see. I did not know my wife liked to watch gory war movies." Edward raised his hand and pointed to

the war movies on TV. Then he looked at the small woman in front of him, whose cheeks blushe, and

said softly.

"I just like watching anti-war movie. What's wrong with that?" Irene raised her voice and shouted

unconsciously because of her guilty conscience.

Irene was waiting for Edward in the living room. Her attention was not on TV and most of the time she

stared at the door. She did not know what she was watching.

"Well, I don't care. I'm going back to my room to sleep!" Irene couldn't stand the man's piercing eyes,

so she glared at Edward with his big eyes and strode upstairs.

"Slowly. Be careful with my son..." Edward looked at Irene's back as she left, calling out to her.

Reminded by him, Irene slowed down unconsciously and went upstairs.

After taking a bath, Edward came out wearing the same Japanese silky pajamas as Irene. He saw

Irene lying on the bed reading a magazine.

Edward walked to the bed while wiping his wet hair with a towel.

When Irene saw that Edward was wiping his hair and coming over, she sat up straight and took over

the towel in his hand to wipe his hair.

Edward lowered his head so that Irene could reach him.

Edward's warm and broad hands gently clasped Irene's waist. He sighed to himself how she could give

birth to his own child with such a thin waist.

The man's big palm slipped to Irene's slightly protruding belly and he whispered to Irene while stroking

it gently.

" Irene, don't go to work. Stay at home, okay?"

Irene, who had been immersed in the warm and harmonious atmosphere, heard this sudden remark.

She suddenly woke up and looked at Edward incredulously with her large eyes unbelievably.

"Look at you, are you afraid? I do not want to interfere too much with your work. I am just worried that

you'll be very tired at work, so I want you to nurture fetus at home in peace." Edward took the towel in

Irene's hand and placed it on the nightstand.

He reached out his large palm and gently stroked Irene's hair, which was tousled. Edward wanted to

soothe Irene's anger, the way he combed the dog's fur.

"Edward, I'm not tired of working. I can still cope with it." Irene hurriedly explained.

The next moment, the woman leaned her head on his shoulder and said in a soft voice.

"Edward, you know I like to work. Besides, if I work, don't we have more time for each other?" At this,

Irene looked at Edward with wide eyes expectantly.

"I'm just worried that you will be too tired from work and can't take care of yourself." Edward scratched

the tip of Irene's nose.

"No, I'll take good care of myself. If I'm tired, I'll stop immediately and have a good rest. Besides, are

not you at the company? Who dares to exhaust me? Please let me work!"

After Irene finished her words, she leaned her little body against Edward's arms.

Looking at the puppy-like little man in his arms, Edward reluctantly compromised.

"Well, I only promise you for now. If you do not feel well, you must stop working at once and rest. But if

grandmother knows this, what will you do by then?" Edward looked at the proud little woman in his

arms with a grin and deliberately threatened her.

"Don't tell her first. I'll tell you after a while and give her a surprise. Grandma will definitely be very

happy at that time, won't she?" Irene blinked his big eyes and discussed with Edward.

At the sight of Irene's sly demeanor, Edward could not help but kiss her. The overwhelming kiss landed

on Irene's lips, face, neck, and underneath...

The man randomly touched Irene's body. Their clothes fell to the ground.

In the rough yet gentle action of Edward, Irene gradually cooperated and reached out her little hands to

hold the neck of Edward...

Sensing her movement, Edward's reaction was even more inflated, as if he was about to explode.

Irene wanted him to act more, but the man on her body suddenly stopped, kissed her lips fiercely, and

then strode into the bathroom.

A few minutes later, the man sneaked into his quilt and held Irene in his arms. "Go to sleep. I love you."

He kissed her forehead and closed his eyes.

Irene felt very sweet when she looked at Edward's forbearance.

After a while, Irene's steady breathing came from his arms.

Holding Irene's soft waist, Edward smelled her unique scent and couldn’t fall asleep for a long time.

This was really a torture of sweetness.

...

The next day.

Irene was sitting in her office and processing documents when her cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar

number.

Irene frowned and answered the phone, "Who... who is that?"

"My good sister, you don't know me now? We paid you to eat and live in our family, and now since you

married into a rich and powerful family and you just turn against me?"

Listening to the woman's voice coming from the other end of the phone, Irene couldn’t help but

frowning.

"Beth, let me tell you something first. In the past, it's my father who bore all the living expenditures, not

you. Even if I owed you, didn't I do enough in the past few years?"

Thinking of what Beth and Tristan, Irene couldn’t restrain her temper no matter what.

"Irene, I'm also your sister. You'd better be polite." Beth was dissatisfied with Irene's attitude.

"Compared with you, brother-in-law is more friendly to me. He waited for me for a long time last night,

just to escort me home safely. I don't know how to refuse his kindness."

Hearing the delicate laughter from the other side, Irene could imagine Beth's proud look on the other

side of the phone. She could not help but feel a little annoyed.

"If you are just calling me to tell about this thing, then I got it. However, I trust Edward. If you have

nothing else to do, I have plenty to do." Irene then hung up the phone directly.

"Do you know whom your husband was with last time on a business trip? Tell me..." Before Beth could

finish her words, the phone was hung up.

Irene looked thoughtfully at her phone, whose screen had gone black. She only came back to her

senses when Sherry asked her to read a file.

...

This afternoon, when Irene was about to get off work.

Irene received Elio's call to ask her out for a meal. Irene wanted to reject, but he said that he was

already downstairs and was waiting for her. Irene had no choice but to agree.

After Irene and Elio called, she quickly finished her work and left the office.

She had called Edward when he left at the beginning of the year. She said that she had something to

do and had left. She let him go back alone first.

...

"Irene, are you very tired from your recent work?" Elio couldn't help but ask when he saw Irene's

depressed face.

"No, Elio. I'm fine. Maybe I'm just a little tired!" Irene gave Elio a sweet smile.

"You are not alone now. You must be happy. Come, eat more. I'll take you somewhere later. I am sure

you'll like it very much." Elio looked at the little woman, who was obviously upset, but pretended to be

happy. He did not expose her and just put a lot of dishes on the plate.

"Yes!" Irene wanted to refuse the suggestion to take her out to play, but he had helped her so many

times before that she was too embarrassed to refuse. Besides, she was depressed about Beth's call

and did not want to go straight home. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

After dinner, Elio led her back to the university where they had graduated together.

After they left their mother school, Irene turned to look at the tall and handsome man beside her and

said gratefully. "Elio, thank you for bringing me here. I am very happy."

"As long as you are happy, then my decision was right." Elio turned his head and smiled at the woman

who was a head shorter than him.

Looking at this handsome and energetic man and feeling his passionate gaze, Irene sighed secretly in

her heart.

"Elio, are you not thinking about getting a girlfriend? I already have a child, but you are still all alone!"

said Irene in an amused tone to Elio.

"It's nothing bad for me to be alone. I'm quite happy now. Protecting the person I love like a knight is

also a very happy thing." Elio raised his head to look at the vast starry sky and said slowly, covering the

sadness in his eyes.

Looking up at the man with a tall body standing in the night sky, Irene felt a little distressed. But at this

time, she could only pretend that she didn’t understand the meaning of his words. She couldn’t promise

his happiness.

At this time, they didn’t notice that there was a pair of eyes staring at them in a black car in the

distance.

"Humph, Irene, you've lived for a long time!" She swiped open her cell phone and a series of photos of

Irene and Elio appeared. The woman's fingertips touched the screen lightly and then turned off the

phone with a smile.

"Let's see how you're going to fight me!" In the darkness, she couldn't see the vicious expression on

Beth's face.
