Infatuated with my Ex-wife

Chapter 82 Departure

"Irene is leaving?!"

Edward's greatest nightmare had just come true. Ever since the day Millicent told him Irene was

thinking about leaving, he worried about whether she would actually do it. He didn't think that the day

would come so soon.

"Yes, Young Master. She is currently on her way to the airport with Mr. Ann and Miss Baker. She

mentioned being discharged from the hospital this morning. By the time we found out, they had already

left," reported the subordinate.

"Okay, I got it. I'll be right there. Keep an eye on them," Edward said before hanging up and rushing

back into the office.

"Let's call it a day. We can think about it before our next meeting," Edward declared in a hurry. He left

the room immediately after, and his anxiety was clear to the shareholders.

"Let's respect Mr. Wilson's decision and end the meeting for now. We can use this time to consider

what was suggested earlier," Eric said in a happy tone. He had achieved two birds with one stone—

Edward would no longer be the president, and Irene had left the country.

As long as Irene left, Edward would be occupied and have no time for company matters. Claudia was

very sure that they would be able to defeat Eric today, but she had received a call about Irene's

decision to leave.

Claudia supported Edward's actions. True, they may have given up the opportunity to bring Eric down,

but another opportunity would soon arise. After all, people were bound to make mistakes every now

and then.

"Millicent, I know you're by Irene's side. Can you stall her for me? I'm on my way to the airport now, but

I'm stuck in traffic. Please buy me some time, I'll be there soon."

Edward felt rather anxious as he looked at the congested road. The traffic was really bad, and he

needed Millicent's help to stall Irene. After all, he wasn't sure how far Irene was from the airport.

"Hurry up, Edward. I've already tried talking to her. Besides, you're the reason why she's decided to

leave, so you're the only one who can resolve this."

Millicent felt her phone vibrate and wondered who messaged her. When she looked at her phone, she

saw Edward's message and replied to it.

She was very surprised.

Millicent didn't tell Edward that Irene was leaving today, but he managed to get this information

somehow. It was obvious that he cared about his wife dearly. As it turned out, she wasn't wrong about

Edward, and Irene had found someone who returned her feelings.

"Okay, thanks, Millicent. I got it," Edward replied. He was grateful to Millicent, and it helped him figure

out what his next course of action should be. But it did nothing to ease his anxiety.

"You stay in traffic and make your way to the airport as soon as you can," Edward ordered as he got

out of the car.

"Okay, Mr. Wilson. Where are you going now?" Lily barely had time to react before she saw him break

into a sprint.

She watched as Edward left in a hurry. She knew that he loved his wife dearly. After all, the was the

first time she had seen him so nervous.

"Oh my god, he's amazing. What a boss! He's so cool!" Lily thought. She assumed he would run all the

way to the airport, but he got on one of the rental bicycles by the roadside and had disappeared among

the forest of vehicles.

Most people were quite annoyed as they waited for the traffic to move. Suddenly, Edward zoomed past

them on his rental bicycle and attracted their attention. After all, he was dressed in a smart suit.

"Wow! Who is this man? He's so handsome! Look at him wearing a suit as he pedals away to the

airport! What a charming man. Could he be going after his girlfriend?"

A young couple watched as Edward hurried along, and the lady exclaimed in amazement.

"Hmmph, look at you ogling him. What's so great about him?" muttered the man. He felt jealous that his

girlfriend was looking at a man that wasn't him.

Edward's strange behavior attracted the attention of many people. Suddenly, everyone felt that the

traffic jam had become more bearable, for it was rare for them to witness such a sight.

"Good luck, Mr. Wilson! I hope everything goes well with your wife!" Lily thought. She sincerely hoped

that Irene could forgive Edward and reconcile with each other. That way, her work would be easier.

In addition, Lily treated Edward as her role model. He was efficient and his work ethics were superb!

Whenever she couldn't figure something out, he could always find a solution easily.

Moreover, even though Edward was normally stoic, he treated Irene really well. Lily admired that about

him.

"Irene, please wait for me, "Edward prayed.

...

No matter how hard he pedaled, he felt time passing slowly, and he was still a long way from the

airport.

In the past, Edward didn't care about Irene because he didn't have feelings for her. However, things

were different now. He was afraid he would lose her because he loved her dearly.

"Irene, did you pack everything? Are you sure you haven't forgotten something?" Millicent tried to ask

Irene.

"Irene, have you truly let go of Edward and your feelings for him?" Millicent asked silently.

"No, don't worry, Millicent. Even if I really forgot to bring something, I can always buy them at the airport

or in Italy," Irene replied as she looked at her daughter she held in her arms.

Of course, Irene understood what she was trying to ask. She knew that Millicent wanted her to stay,

and that she had contacted Edward.

After all, she noticed how Millicent looked at her phone earlier. She had received a text message and

paused before replying to it. That couldn't have been her parents, for they would normally give her a

call if they missed her.

Moreover, she knew most of the people that Millicent knew. Elio was driving at the moment, so there

was no way he sent her a message. Edward was the only other person who would text Millicent.

"Irene, have you really made up your mind? It's not too late to turn around—we haven't reached the

airport, and you haven't boarded the plane yet," Elio decided to ask bluntly.

"Yeah, I'm sure of my decision. Don't worry. Now, both of you are still single, so I can't help but be

worried about you guys. C'mon now, I want to attend your wedding!"

Irene knew that Millicent liked Elio, but he loved her instead. She felt a little guilty that things turned out

like this. Why did Elio have to love her instead of Millicent?

Irene felt like she was somehow responsible for it. In fact, it wasn't her fault, but she couldn't help This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

herself from feeling that way.

Perhaps it was precisely because Irene regarded them as her best friends that she gave them a sense

of loss—unable to obtain what they wanted. At the end of the day, Irene was far too kind and

emotional.

"Oh, Irene. Let's settle your affairs before talking about our affairs. When that time comes, you're free to

do whatever you want with us," Elio said jokingly.

But these words sounded strange to Millicent.

She wasn't sure what Elio meant by "us".

Millicent still remembered the time Elio kissed her. She was so happy, but he didn't reply when she

asked him about it. She never understood what he meant, but she assumed he had mistaken her for

Irene at that time.

"Fine, fine. Once I get on that plane, I'll get to worry over you guys like a mother hen! After all, we can

consider my business dealt with by then!" Irene kept her tone light, but she felt a little upset.

"That's right, Irene. We just want the best for you!" Elio said. They could see that Irene was reluctant to

leave, but her feelings for Edward ran deep. It really hurt her.

"We're at the airport. Let's go," Elio said.

Irene felt an inexplicable sense of sadness at the thought of leaving.

Millicent turned around subconsciously. She hoped to see a glimpse of Edward catching up to them,

but alas! Nobody was behind them.

They slowly made their way to the lounge for a break.

The atmosphere became quite solemn.

"Have you reached the airport?" Millicent couldn't help but send a message to Edward.
