After dinner she said he asked: "Do you want to go see some fireworks?" to which she said no.

"I didn't feel like going out ... I just said I didn't want to go to the fireworks," she said.

"[He didn't seem angry], he accepted it."

In the weeks after the dinner, the first wife attended a dinner at Lakers Tavern in Thornlie with Mr Edwards family and was intimate with him afterwards at his parent's house.

The next morning, the first wife asked Mr Edwards if they were doing the right thing in separating.

Mr Yovich: It was clear to you he was not interested in patching things up?

First wife: Yes.

Mr Yovich: Bradley wasn't interested in reconciliation?

First wife: He was not, no.

The first wife has revealed on one of the few times she returned to the couple's Huntingdale house after that night was to collect her dog, Asha.

She said the RSPCA contacted her and informed her the dog had been left at the house and that nobody was living there.
