Infatuated with my Ex-wife

Chapter 95: Preparation for Revenge

Celine was left with nothing except revenge. One should never underestimate the wrath of a woman.

Eric then returned to home.

He told his father to find a way to ask Madeline, even Claudia or Edward, for help. Anything would do,

as long as they could leave after the wedding.

Meanwhile, Edward listened to his subordinate's report. They had lost track of Eric when he went out

today, but he had returned home soon after.

Edward didn't care about it—he was busy with the wedding. He wasn't too worried about Eric because

he was to leave soon. What could he possibly do?

Edward would regret his foolish ignorance in the future.

When Edward returned home, he saw Irene reading the mermaid's tale to Charlotte.

"The little mermaid stared at the prince longingly before she faded away into sea foam."

Edward said helplessly, "Charlotte is still too young to understand."

"Oh, c'mon. I'd like to believe she is a quick learner. Let me do as I please."

It was rare to see Irene acting cute, so Edward said, "Alright, alright. You're right." He paused before

continuing, "This isn't a good ending though. If I was the prince, I wouldn't treat the mermaid princess

like this."

"Yeah! I don't like this ending either. I really wish they could've lived happily ever after," Irene said. This

was her favourite story when she was a child, and she would cry every time she read it.

"Oh, right. Do you like Mr. Karel Nar's work? I want him to design our wedding rings," said Edward.

"Ah, his works are famous for their dreamlike beauty. There are only a handful of designs in each

series, and they are all of good quality. But hasn't he announced his retirement?"

The master had only created a limited amount of precious masterpieces. Irene was looking forward to

seeing Edward's decision.

"It's a surprise, so I won't tell you," Edward said mysteriously.

Edward's mother had some connections with Mr. Karel Nar, and he had asked some people to contact

him. The master finally gave in and decided to design another exclusive set, "Heart of the Sea", for

them.

It matched the theme of the wedding, and Irene was sure to like it. As it turned out, it was a good

decision to listen to Millicent's opinion about Irene's preferences.

...

Today, Millicent paid a visit to Irene.

"It's been a while, Irene," Millicent greeted. She felt very happy for her best friend.

"Millicent, it's been forever! Here I was, thinking you were busy dating someone," Irene said in surprise.

"A relationship? No, it's not like that. Edward told me to give you some space. I was told not to disturb

your time with him," Millicent said. She felt a little jealous. Edward did not appreciate her help at all!

Without her, there was no way he could convince Irene to come back.

Irene didn't know how to react to that. This was truly Edward's character.

"It's fine, don't be angry. You know how he is," Irene comforted her.

"Hmmph! Look at you defending him. What an ungrateful man he is!" Millicent complained.

"It's not like you aren't aware how grand his proposal was. So enviable!" Millicent said sadly.

"Alright, alright. Enough about me. How's your relationship with Elio going?" Irene asked. She was very

happy now. However, she was worried about Millicent and Elio. She had always felt a little guilty about

them.

"Elio and I... Oh, c'mon, you know how it is! Nothing much has changed! Why are you bringing him up

suddenly?" Millicent asked bashfully.

Over the past few days, both of them would meet up frequently for coffee dates. They'd talk about

many things, and she was helping him with his blind date troubles.

Things were going well until the day they bumped into Elio's mother. She was very enthusiastic and

wished them happiness.

Millicent and Elio were very embarrassed about it. Then he explained to her that his parents only did

this because they were worried they were faking it.

After spending so much time with each other, Millicent began to think that Elio had caught some

feelings for her. But she also thought she was getting ahead of herself. After all, she wasn't sure if he

still had feelings for Irene. She felt rather distressed.

Irene could see that both of them simply needed some time. Things were going great, after all.

"Alright, don't overthink. Elio will figure things out sooner or later," Irene comforted.

"Yeah!" Millicent hummed in agreement. Surely, Elio would be feeling a little blue during Edward and

Irene's wedding. If she were to comfort him at such a vulnerable time, perhaps she could inch her way

into his heart.

"Millicent, you must be my bridesmaid at my wedding."

"Of course! How can I be absent from your wedding? I will definitely catch your bouquet," Millicent said

happily.

"Then who do you want to be the best man?" Irene teased Millicent.

"Y-You-! Awh, Irene, you can be annoying sometimes. I'll need to teach you a lesson!" Millicent huffed.

"Charlotte, look at your mother. Don't follow in her footsteps in bullying people like this, okay?" Millicent

teased Charlotte.

Charlotte kept blowing bubbles in her mouth, and it was adorable.

"Irene, if I give birth to a boy in the future, our children can get married!" Millicent said suddenly.

"Let's talk about it after you get married. Hahaha," Irene laughed.

"Are you laughing at me? Hmmph, I'll prove it to you soon!"

With that, both of them burst into laughter. Beside them, Charlotte giggled as well.

After they chatted for a while, Millicent went home.

Edward had been busy preparing for the wedding. Millicent came over each day to keep Irene

company.

...

Edward received a call informing him that Eric had gone to visit Madeline.

Didn't he tell them not to disturb her? She was in poor health and such things would easily upset her!

What were they up to?

...

"Mum, I know I was wrong. I didn't fulfil my duty as a father, and for that, I apologise. It's too late for me

to make up for it now. All I want is to attend Edward's wedding. Don't worry, I'll get out of your hair after

he gets married."

Cameron wiped away his tears as he spoke. Eric stood to the side quietly, with a guilty look on his face.

Edward was greeted with such a scene when he arrived.

"What's the use of saying this now? You can no longer change the past," Edward said coldly.

Cameron burst into tears when he saw Edward. He said, "Edward, I apologise for what I've done to you

and your mother. I'm not asking for your forgiveness. All I want is to attend your wedding before I leave.

Is that alright?"

Edward remained unmoved.

Cameron knew that Edward wouldn't budge, so he turned to Madeline and cried even harder.

"Mum, please help me persuade Edward. I know I'm wrong. All I want is to attend Edward's wedding.

This is the last thing I can do as a father."

Madeline had a headache. She understood the pain that Edward had gone through because of his

father. She felt rather distressed about it.

This was her beloved grandson, whom she had raised. She was very satisfied that he had turned out to

be a fine child. She knew that Cameron was a fool, so she placed all her hopes on Edward.

Edward didn't let her down. She could finally die in peace, relieved that the company was in Edward's

capable hands.

Although Eric was also Cameron's child, she felt that he was too gloomy and aggressive. Moreover, he Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

was an illegitimate child. The family only acknowledged Claudia. She was a good wife, but Cameron

didn't cherish her.

She couldn't bear to see Cameron shedding tears while kneeling on the ground.

"Edward, have some mercy on your father. There's no harm in letting him attend your wedding before

leaving," said Madeline.

Now that Madeline had spoken, Edward didn't want to argue with her. In any case, they would be

leaving either way.

Madeline was a little tired from the commotion. She was old and wasn't in good health, but she still had

to worry about the younger generation.

Edward was even more displeased with his father.

"If there's nothing else, you can leave," Edward said.

Eric had been silent as he stood to the side. As he helped Cameron out of the room and walked past

Edward, he heard him speak, "You'd better not play any tricks this time!"

Eric lowered his head timidly. He quickened his steps and helped his father out. Edward didn't see the

malicious look in his eyes.

Eric thought viciously, "Let's see how Edward will handle it later!"

Madeline looked at Edward's unhappy face and comforted him, "I know you don't like Eric. Your father

has made many mistakes, but he is still your father."

"It'll be alright to let him stay just a couple more days. Having parents attend your wedding is also a

good thing," Madeline said. Edward thought it made sense, but he still felt worried.

"Grandma, you are in poor health yet you still have so much to worry about. Didn't I tell you to rest

more?"

"I'll be alright. I know my body, so don't worry about me. At the very least, I can still hold on for a few

more days. I must attend your wedding before I pass away," Madeline said happily.

"Grandma, please don't say that. At least wait for me and Irene to produce a new great-grandson for

you," Edward said unhappily.

"Alright, alright," Madeline said. She felt energised upon hearing those words.
