Infatuated with my Ex-wife

Chapter 38 Are you my mother?

After hanging up the phone, Irene went to the greehouse and saw the Peace lily that Edward

mentioned. The white flowers were delicate and beautiful. Without careful smelling the flower

fragrance, no one would notice them. But unconsciously, they made people feel very comfortable.

After staying in the greenhouse for a while, she wanted to go downstairs to read and kill time.

As soon as she returned to her bedroom, the phone on her bedside counter rang. It was Sofia.

Normally speaking, Sofia rarely called her. Sofia and her were more like strangers tha are more like

strangers than mother and daughter. In the Jones family, Sofia could not protect her. Now, she would

only come to her if she had difficulties.

However, after all, blood was thicker than water. Irene couldn’t part with it, so she accepted it.

"Mom, what's the matter?" The voice was neither fast nor slow, neither intimate nor distant.

"Irene... I am sick..." Sofia coughed a few times and tried her best to pretend to be very sick.

Hearing the cough over there, Irene could not help but worry about her. "Where are you

uncomfortable? Are you not feeling well?"

Sofia said weakly, "My chest is stuffy. Your father went out on a business trip and hasn't come back for

a few days. You know, Beth is back. When she sees me like this, she won't care about me at all when

see me like this."

Irene certainly knew how Beth treated Sofia, who had always disliked her. She had always disliked her

mother. Although her mother was Mr. Jones, she was not liked by the owner of the Jones family.

Therefore, she could only be bullied by Tristan and Beth.

Thinking of this, Irene immediately said. "Mom, don't worry. I'll go back home now. You just lie down

and don't move."

So Irene simply changed her clothes and hurriedly took a taxi out. Seeing that she left in a hurry, the

guard did not ask her where she was going, for fear of delaying the matter.

...

The Jones house.

When Irene rushed in, Sofia was standing by the sofa in the hall. It was Beth who sat on the sofa.

Seeing that Sofia was fine, Irene was wondering what was going on.

However, Beth opened her mouth one step faster. "Irene," She said with gnashing her teeth. Irene saw

the cold light in Beth's eyes, and even some jealousy. She continued to say, "You are getting more and

more capable."

"Capable? What ability I don't know what you mean." Irene finally understood what illness was. It was

obviously a trick to deceive her back to the Jones house. But she didn't want to quarrel with Beth too

much, so she turned to Sofia and said, "Mom, if you are okay, I'll go back first. Edward will worry if he

sees I'm not home."

Humph! Edward... It was always Edward...

Beth was extremely angry when she heard the last sentence. Irene doesn't deserve it! She is nothing

but a daughter of a b*tch. .

"That's right. Irene, now that you have Edward as your patron, you will not put our Jones family in your

eyes. But don't forget, you are also a member of the Jones family."

Irene really didn’t know what she had done to Beth, nor did she understand why she had deceived her

here today. "Just tell me, what do you mean? Edward isn’t my patron against the Jones family, and I

also take the Jones family seriously." Although in her heart, she didn’t like the Jones family.

Beth didn’t get up. Instead, she said sarcastically. "You said you care about the my family. Humph, how

about my Tristan's business! It's fine that you don't ask Edward to help, but you allow Edward to go

against the business of my family."

Edward always went against Jones family's business? Irene knew nothing about this matter. On

second thought, it should be Edward who saw that she was bullied by Tristan, so he didn't get along

with the Jones family everywhere. But when did this happen? She didn't know anything about it at all!

Beth saw that Irene did not answer. Instead, she was thinking about something. She continued, "Why,

can't you remember? It's normal for nobles to forget things."

"What if Edward did that? Your brother did wrong things first, who illegally locked me up. . It was illegal.

I was already kind enough not to sue him." Irene argued with reasons. The brother and sister of Jones

were real bullies, who blamed others for their own mistakes which was so unreasonable.

Sofia carefully looked at Beth. Her face was pale, and her throat moved up and down. Even her chest

heaved violently. It seemed Beth was extremely angry.

Sofia gritted her teeth and hurriedly tried to stop her, "Irene, don't speak to Beth like that. You are her

younger sister, apologize to her quickly."

Irene knew that Sofia didn't choose to help her, Irene felt bitter inside. Although she knew that her

mother did not care about her grievances, she also learned to be used to it and ignore them. But at this

moment, she really felt that she could not bear it.

Irene's heart was cold. Her lips were slightly white, but she bit them until her lips were red as blood.

She endured it and could not cry. Even if she did, she would not cry before the Jones family.

At this moment, she just wants to go back to Edward and wanted to feel his body temperature. No one

in the world treated her better than him.

"OK! I'm wrong, but it's not that I don't care about the Jones family, but that I was wrong..." Irene stared

at Sofia. Sofia immediately lowered her eyelids and didn't dare to look at her. Maybe it's guilt. Who

knows, Irene opened her mouth with a bitter smile, "Wrong that when I heard you were sick, I hurried

came here but was only humiliated by you guys..."

Beth is proud to see Irene holding back her emotions. Why should she was always rebuffed by Edward,

but the little b*tch in front of her can feel the meticulous care of that man. She just wants Irene to feel

the taste of being despised by her cherished people.

"Yo! Are you uncomfortable? As a member of the Jones family, you don't help your brother but allow

your husband to destroy the business of the Jones family. As your sister, I'll teach you a lesson. You

can't blame me for being talkative. After all, I'm good for our family." Beth said it properly, without

loopholes, as if Irene was really the Jones family Sinners in general.

But at this time, Irene had no strength to argue with Beth. She just wanted to leave this damn place as

soon as possible.

Beth had reached her goal. Without looking at Irene, she stood up and "intimately" pulled Sofia's hand

aside. She said softly, "Aunt Sofia, I bought a few dresses yesterday. Please come over and take a

look."

These words were full of the feeling of a little daughter, as if she were Sofia's real daughter.

Sofia said OK, thinking that Beth didn't embarrass Irene. Although she spoke awkwardly, Irene didn't

suffer any substantive harm. On this thought, she was relieved, but she didn't noticed that what really

hurt Irene was not what Beth said, but her indifference to her own daughter .

Beth [Jones] walked by Irene and smiled contemptuously. Her eyes were filled with the joy of the

winner. She even bumped away Irene. Irene subconsciously protected her lower abdomen. This move

made Beth understand something.

Sofia didn't even dare to look at Irene before quickly leaving.

Like a soulless person, Irene walked out of the gate of the Jones house and looked back every step All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

she took. This was the place where she grew up, but it was not called home, but hell.

For so many years, there was no joy in the Jones family, only endless coldness.

At this moment, she just wanted to go home as soon as possible and see Edward. She touched her

bag subconsciously, only to find that she was in such a hurry that she didn't even bring her mobile

phone. She thought that it was really ironic. She rushed over like a clown for a person who didn't

deserve to be a mother, and even forgot to bring her mobile phone, but was poured cold water at the

end.

...

At five o'clock, it was time to Edward get off work. He did not have the idea of going home immediately

after work. But now, he just wanted to go home and stay with Irene, read books, and watch movies.

Everything was fine with Irene.

Thinking of Irene, Edward was ready to leave quickly. But at this time, the secretary knocked on his

door. He was a little angry. What was wrong with the secretary today?

"Boss, Director Wilson said he wants to have a meeting in the conference room."

A meeting? What meeting? He was very clear about the company's affairs. So why did he suddenly

hold a meeting? Edward asked in a deep voice. "What is it for?"

The secretary looked hesitant. "It's said that there's something wrong with a batch of goods produced

by the company recently. But I don't know the specifics."

Edward nodded. He didn't even know why his father had a meeting at such a time. How could the

secretary know? He said in a low voice, "Okay, I know! You can go first!"

He looked at his watch and reckoned that he would went home late. So he picked up his private phone

and called Irene, but no one answered. He didn't think much, just thinking that Irene didn't put the

phone aside. But he was still worried that the meeting would be too late. So he sent a text message to

Irene.

...

In the conference room.

When Edward went in, the top managers of the company had all arrived, including Eric. He sat in the

third position on Cameron's left and was talking with two senior managers next to him. No one knew

what he said, but the two senior managers nodded repeatedly.

When he saw Edward coming in, Eric took out his usual smiling face, which was a greeting.

...

Irene didn't know how long she had been walking. It was getting darker and darker. She came out of

the Jones family and walked along the winding mountain road for a long time. Moreover, pregnant

women were easy to get tired. She wanted to take a taxi, but it was strange that there was no taxi.

She almost rested while walking. Irene hadn't met a taxi until she was about to go down the mountain.

She simply told the driver where to go and sat in the back seat. She felt sleepy and finally fell asleep.

Meanwhile, in Beth's room.

"Brother, have you finished your work?" The woman asked casually with her red lips slightly open.

"Of course, Beth, believe me, after tonight, Irene will never have the face to go back to Edward. I've

been unhappy with her for a long time, this bitch." Tristan said harshly.

After hearing the satisfactory answer, Beth raised her red lips. Although she was beautiful, she was like

a devil in the light. "Remember to clean it up and don't mess with us."

Beth walked to the balcony and looked at the endless darkness. After a flash of lightning, the rumbling

thunder followed. The city was about to rain heavily.
