Infatuated with my Ex-wife

Chapter 54 A Big Show

On Saturday, Edward and Irene accepted the Jones family's invitation and drove to their home.

Beth, the eldest daughter of the Jones family, tried several sets of clothes in her room because of

Edward's coming. Finally, she chose a full-length dress and then made a delicate makeup.

When she heard Edward had come, she rushed to the downstairs and and tried to surprise Edward.

She just found that Edward was feeding grapes to Irene. Without even a glance at her, he did not even

know she was here.

She bit her red lips tightly, feeling angry and jealous, but she couldn’t showed her anger.

When Steven saw Beth, he thought Edward did not know his daughter, so he got up and said, "Beth,

come here."

Only then did Edward look at her.

At that time, Beth was looking at him with joy on her face.

Steven introduced, "This is Irene's older sister, Beth."

Edward took back his gaze and looked at Steven. "I know. We've met several times."

"Beth had been studies abroad for mant years, she's smart and talented. I am sure she's a good staff is

she can work for you." Steven looked at Beth and said.

"Alright." Edward responded indifferently.

Beth sat between Steven and Tristan, who had been silent. Sofia said she wanted to check about the

food being prepared in the kitchen staff, so she was not there.

Steven said, "Edward, Tristan is too young and naive, so he made some troubles for you. I am really

sorry for that. But we are family after all. So I don't let others joke on us."

Edward wore a faint smile, and said without any emotion, "Don't say that. It's my fault. I took the land

for him and angered Tristan."

Steven froze for a second without knowing how to respond. "It was Tristan's fault. I had been far away

from him for a long time, so I didn't teach him well."

Edward's hand was clasped tightly with Irene's. He looked at Irene and then turned to Tristan, "Seeing

this, Irene must be happy." He thought to himself.

A vague smile appeared on Irene's face. It seemed as if she wanted to laugh, but she refrained.

"You said that. Although I'm not from Jones family, I'm the husband of Irene. For this relationship, I still

have something to tell him." Edward said in a calm tone. It was still impossible to tell what he was

thinking.

Tristan, who had been quilt, couldn't bear it anymore. Edward had obviously come to complain, but he

was pretending to be nice. In reality, he was furious.

Steven looked at Tristan and then turned his face to Edward, "Just say it. Tristan does need some

lessons. You are about the same age as him. But he has a lot of things to lean from you."

Tristan had never been humiliated by someone of the same age as him.

He was about to leave. But when he saw Steven's gaze, he didn't dare to leave.

Irene could see that Tristan must be very angry at this time. Edward would not ignore Steven's

expression. He said slowly, "It seems that Tristan is unwilling to listen to me."

Tristan could not contain himself any longer. "You..."

Tristan's reaction made Irene happy in her heart. This person, who always treated

the people under him like his servants, finally tasted the same feelings.

Steven quickly replied, "Tristan’s absolutely willing to!"

After that, he turned to Tristan and said, "Behave yourself. It's your honor to be taught by Edward."

"We are businessmen, but there is no conflict of interest between us. Besides, Irene grew up here. I

didn't want see any unhappy things happen to both of us. But..."

He paused and glanced over Steven and Tristan.

"Last time, Irene was inexplicably locked up by Tristan and she even broke her leg. I'm very unhappy.

Just in case Tristan will hurt Irene again, so I warned you in this way." Edward siad seriously.

His warning made Steven's heart bleeding.

Steven knew that Tristan was in the wrong, so he couldn't do anything but apologized.

"Irene, I am sorry. Tristan was too impulsive that day, so he treated you in the wrong way. Please

forgive us. I have already taught him a lesson, he will never do that again."

Then, Steven stared at Tristan and said sternly, "Apologize to Irene. Look what you have done, Was

that a brother should do?"

Irene looked at Tristan's bitter face and felt very happy.

Although Tristan was arrogant, he knew that it was the best time to make good relations with

Edward. He couldn't angred him.

Irene and Edward looked at each other, and then they both watched Tristan as if they were watching a

circus.

After a long while, ristan said wearily, "I am sorry, I should not have locked you in the cellar. It's my

fault. I apologize to you, and I hope you'll... ...forgive me."

Irene crossed her arms around her chest and looked at Tristan. "If I don't forgive you, what will you

do?"

The veins on Tristan's forehead popped out. "You..."

But he could say anything after that.

Beth saw Irene poked fun at Tristan, she said ungrily. "Irene, do not go too far."

Edward, however, stared at Irene affectionately and smiled, "I spoiled Irene at home. She likes joking.

She will forgive Tristan."

Steven's face relaxed a little and he forced a smile, "That's good, After all, we are all family. I am old, I

just expect the family to be harmonious." Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

There was too early for luch. Edward and Irene didn't want to spend too much time with the Jones

family who were hypocritical. So they made an excuse and said they would like to go for a walk in the

garden.

......

In the garden, Edward held Irene's hand and said, "How do you like the show?"

Irene stood still and looked straight at Edward. "Edward, thank you."

This was probably the happiest day of the past few years. It was the first time she made a revenge on

the Jones family.

Irene lifted her toes and kissed Edward's lips.

Edward didn't want to stay the kiss too long, but he saw a figure who was in a green dress by the

window. It was Beth.

Edward kissed back.

"I would like to do more things for you in the future." Edward said, his tone was full of satisfaction.

"Why?" Irene was curious.

Edward pulled Irene over and let her lean onto his arms. He put his chin on her shoulder and

whispered in her ear, "To make my Irene to be more active..."

Irene felt shy and tried to push him away. Edward wouldn't let her go. "So you're shy again?"

Irene stayed scilent.

Edward let go of her, "Well, I will stop teasing you."

"Does my father just want Tristan to apologize to us? He didn't mention anything about money. It

doesn't like him." Irene felt that things wouldn't be that simple.

Edward had the same feeling. They were facing a big problem. There was no bank willing to lend him

money, as well as no one wanted to vouch for him. How could they keep the turnover moving?

The Wilson family would be thier strong background if Steven made the good relation with Irene and

Edward. For this reason, the banks would loan to Jones family.

"I think they'll say their willings soon." Sofia came over and asked them to go to eat as soon as she

Edward finished his sentence.

......

In the dining room. Edward and Irene were sitting together.

Halfway through the meal, Steven finally asked, "Edward, lately my company has been greatly affected

by the affairs. There are some... problems with the company's funds."

Edward did not want to beat around the bush. "You want me to vouch for the Jones’ company."

Steven nodded hurriedly. "That's true. I really don't know who else I could ask for help but you."

Instead of answering him, Edward gently served the food to Irene. "If Irene agrees, I have no

objection."

Irene coughed because she was shocked by his words. Why did he mentioned her?

Steven noticed that Edwardcared about Irene so much. It seemed that the rumored feud between

them was a lie. So he looked at Irene and asked, "What do you think, Irene?"

Irene was embarrassed. Seeing she coughed badly, Edward helped her to catch her breath slowly and

said, "You're an adult, you should be careful when you are eating."

Although he was blaming her, it was obvious that he was doting on her.

When Beth saw this scene, she couldn't eat anything. She just glared at them.

She had seen them kissing in the garden when she was standing on the balcony. What happened just

now made her feel even more uncomfortable. She was so angry but she had nowhere to vent her

anger.

Irene raised her head slightly to look at Edward, but just saw him shrugged his shoulders as if he was

saying,“Up to you”.

"I agree." Irene had to say so.

Edward gave her the right to make the decision in front of the the Jones family, he just wanted to show

them how important she was. He would not refuse the Jones family any way.

After hearing Irene's answer, Steven finally breathed a sigh of relief. "That's great."

He noticed nobody was eating, then he said, "Help yourself."

While they were eating, Steven also mentioned that he would hold a charity party to show the

reputation of Jones' company.

"Edward, Irene, do you want to join me?"
