Infatuated with my Ex-wife

Chapter 75 You Have to Leave

Millicent wanted to tell Irene to trust Edward, but she was at a loss for words when she heard that

Celine had once been pregnant with his child.

Irene felt even more disheartened at this moment.

"See? Even Millicent can't find a reason to defend Edward's actions," Irene thought, more determined

to leave this place.

"Millicent, I want to leave this relationship. I'm done enduring everything. It seems like everything I've

done was all in vain," Irene said calmly, as if she no longer cared about Edward.

"Irene, are you absolutely sure about all this? You're telling me because you've thought things through,

right?" Millicent asked reluctantly.

She felt quite surprised because she didn't expect Irene would make a decision like this.

After all, Irene had just given birth to Edward's daughter. She must've spent a long time mulling it over

to have such determination. To have such strong conviction meant that she must've been deeply hurt

before.

"That's right, Millicent. Seems like you know me quite well," Irene said tearfully, feeling moved.

Millicent knew her best. She had always been like this during their schooling days, and it seemed like

she hadn't changed at all despite the passing of time.

"What are you talking about, Irene? We've been best friends for so many years. If I can't even read

you, how can I call myself your best friend?" Millicent huffed, feigning her annoyance.

Bursting into tears, they hugged each other tightly. Of course, Millicent knew the reason behind Irene's

words.

Irene only said that because she was touched—she had always been one to repay kindness with even

more kindness.

"Thank you, Millicent. I really appreciate you for accompanying me all these years and treating me so

well. You're the best! Even my family doesn't treat me kindly. I'm so lucky to have met you."

Irene spoke with such sadness in her voice, as though she would never see Millicent again. However, it

would be difficult for both of them to meet if she really left this place.

After all, they might be living in different cities, or even in different countries.

"Irene, let's not thank each other over this. You should cherish me properly, otherwise, you might just

lose me one day."

They looked at each other and laughed just as Millicent finished speaking.

Sometimes, close friends like Irene and Millicent could understand each other's thoughts without

speaking.

"In that case, I'll be sure to cherish you dearly, Millicent. Haha, I really can't stand you anymore." Irene

said, feigning a look of disgust.

Both of them were very happy and relaxed, for it had been a while since they had a good chat like this.

"Where would you go after leaving this place, Irene? I'm not sure we'll be able to see each other in the

future. I'll really miss you. Will you miss me too?" Millicent asked sadly.

She had poured out her heartfelt feelings. Whenever she thought about Irene's departure, she would

think about how they wouldn't be able to meet anymore.

Sometimes, a person would disappear for good after saying their farewells.

"Silly, I can easily brush aside everyone else, but how can I not miss you, my dear?" Irene spoke. She

wanted to the ease the sadness in the atmosphere and make it more relaxed.

Truth be told, Irene didn't want to leave Millicent behind and travel far away.

"It was more than enough to have a friend who knows you well in your life." These words were very

true.

"Can I come with you, Irene? I majored in art, so I can paint anywhere."

Irene didn't expect that she would ask her such a question. Never in her wildest dreams did she think

that Millicent would want to leave with her. But she didn't want her to come along, for she had parents

who loved her dearly.

As for herself, she could leave whenever she wanted because she wasn't tied down like Millicent was

with her parents.

Irene was almost moved to tears when she thought about how rare it was to have met such a good

friend. She felt very satisfied and happy.

"C'mon, Millicent, don't be sad. We'll definitely meet again. Don't worry, I'll let you know after everything

has been settled and I've found a decent place. At that time, we can see each other frequently," Irene

said, trying to comfort Millicent.

In fact, she was also trying to comfort herself. It would actually be very difficult for them to meet if she

moved too far away.

"Don't say that, Irene. I'll definitely pay you a visit once you've found a place. See, as a painter myself, I

should travel far and wide to gain inspiration. Who's to say I can't travel whenever I want? Just, don't

give me the cold shoulder, alright?"

There was nothing Millicent could say to convince her otherwise. Irene had made up her mind, and she

respected her decision. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Now that Millicent thought about it, she was the one who wanted to pursue Edward and marry him. She

had always been there to support Irene, and now was no exception.

...

"Oh, Millicent, I'm so lucky to have met you. If I were to die right now, I wouldn't have any regrets."

Irene was very grateful to have Millicent in her life. After all, she had helped her multiple times in

school, and she had kept her company during the time she was bullied by Tristan and Beth.

Irene couldn't even begin to count the number of times that she had supported her. Even Sofia, her

very own mother, didn't treat her the way she did. Millicent was the best person in the world!

Moreover, she had treated her better than the Jones siblings ever did despite not being related by

blood.

"Pfft-! Irene, have you been possessed? To think that you'd say something like that. Come back to your

senses, are you still the same person I know?" Millicent asked jokingly.

She was very well aware that Irene was the kind of person who would definitely repay kindness and

gratitude. She held all the kind deeds that had been done to her close to her heart. Of course, Millicent

knew that this was Irene's way of thanking her.

"How could I not be? You know, Millicent? I don't have any living relatives who truly cares about me.

Except you, nobody's going to miss me after I leave," Irene said sadly.

...

Indeed, Irene would no longer be a part of the Wilson family once she left this place. She would no

longer have any good relatives.

Sofia might not have done all she could to protect Irene when she was still alive, but she still wanted

the best for her. She had hoped she could have a happy life.

At that time, Irene still had a biological mother who sincerely wished her the best. But now, she was all

alone.

She no longer had any relatives.

There was a saying that even though it was bad, it still belonged to you. But Irene no longer had that

privilege—she had nothing left.

Irene was sure that Edward had changed, and she could no longer win his heart. She would have no

place to call home after she left. She was leaving behind the Jones family, and the family she

established with her husband.

"That's not right, Irene. Many people are going to miss you—there's me, Elio, Madeline and Claudia.

Oh, we are going to miss you so much!"

Millicent was upset at the thought of how lonely Irene was. She was a good person, so why didn't she

have a good family who loved her?

Tears began to fall as she spoke. Millicent really hoped that Irene would find someone who loved her

dearly and keep her company.

She felt quite distressed as she recalled how Irene had desperately chased after Edward to marry him.

Why wasn't it the other way around? Irene wouldn't have suffered so greatly if Edward had chased after

her instead.

"Can I ask you a question, Irene? Please answer it honestly. Don't lie, okay?" Millicent asked Irene

seriously.

At this moment, Millicent suddenly thought about how Edward was the key to solving this situation.

Only he was capable of making things right.
