Revenge Against My Ex-husband novel Chapter 146

Jordan followed Irene's gaze to look over and saw Edric and Rowane too. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Edric was trying to own more than one woman, wasn't he? He wanted to get back with Irene while he was still enamored of his little lover!

However, Edric must have not expected that they would bump into each other this evening. What a coincidence! Jordan took a glance at Irene and found that Irene's countenance fell in an instant.

She put down the fork and spoon in her hand and said, "I'm full!"

"I'm full too. Let's go!" Jordan left with Irene thoughtfully. Along the way, Irene kept a gloomy face. Although she was silent, Jordan knew that she had already made up her mind about Edric. Jordan estimated that it would be curtains for Edric this time.

Rowane said that she would leave the day after the next day. Hence, she invited Edric out for dinner to express her gratitude for his care over the years. The most crucial reason for Edric to accept Rowane into his company was that her life story had a resemblance with Irene's. Not only her background but also her appearance was somewhat similar to Irene's. In the past days, when he was all alone and lost, Rowane was his source of comforts.

Rowane was a decent girl. She was very sensible and had never caused him any trouble. Now that she was going to study abroad, he would definitely not stop her.

Rowane had never drunk before; she claimed that she was allergic to alcohol. However, she took the initiative to ask for wine on that day. She poured a glass of wine and said, "Edric, cheers!"

Edric picked up his glass and replied, "Have a safe trip!"

After drinking a glass of wine, Rowane poured another glass of wine for him, saying, "Edric, I know you have gastritis, so I won't ask you to drink more. You just have to drink three glasses of wine today."

Edric nodded. "Okay, three glasses it is!"

Rowane picked up her glass again. "Edric, it's all because of you that I, Rowane Wood, have such an achievement today. You are the benefactor in my life. I have nothing to repay you. In the next life, I will do anything for you to return your kindness!"

"Why do you say that all of a sudden?" Edric was stunned.

"I'm just happy and excited," Rowane answered as she poured another glass of wine for Edric again. They clinked their drinks, and she continued, "I wish you a blissful life, Edric."

"I love to hear that." Edric smiled and drank it up. "I'll marry Irene soon, and I'll definitely live a happy life in the future."

Rowane poured the third glass of wine for him again. "I'm a young and ignorant girl at times. If I have offended you in any way, please do forgive me!"

Edric drank the third glass of wine readily. They realized that the night was still early after they had dinner. Edric certainly couldn't drive after drinking. Hence, he hired a designated driver. Edric ordered the driver to send Rowane home first before sending him home. However, he didn't expect to see Lily on the way.

Lily's car had broken down and she was standing at the roadside anxiously. Edric didn't want to bother her initially, but Rowane reminded him, "Edric, isn't that Miss Cook? She seems to be in trouble, isn't she? Let's go and have a look."

Hearing that, Edric could no longer pretend that he didn't see Lily. Hence, he asked the driver to stop the car. "What happened?" Edric asked Lily.

"Edric, my car is broken," Lily replied pitifully.

"Have you called the workshop?" Edric asked again.

"Yes," Lily responded. While they were speaking, someone came to tow the car. Rowane invited Lily to get in the vehicle enthusiastically, "Miss Cook, get in the car. It's cold out there!"

"Is that okay?" Lily looked at Edric, her eyes twinkling.

Edric frowned. Knowing that the driver and Rowane were in the car waiting for him, he nodded and said, "Come on up!"

When Lily got in the car, Rowane suggested, "My apartment is near to here. Edric, why don't you send me back first and then send Miss Cook back?"

Edric nodded. He didn't drink much, but he did feel a little dizzy. Therefore, he closed his eyes to rest in the back seat and fell asleep unconsciously.

Seeing that Edric was asleep, Rowane and Lily sent Edric back to the Myers family together. Margaret and Marie had been waiting impatiently for a long time. When they saw them coming, both Margaret and Marie immediately helped Edric upstairs joyfully.

At this point, Rowane had finished her task. She got up and left their house. Meanwhile, Margaret and Marie signaled Lily to enter Edric's room. "Seize this opportunity and try to get pregnant!"

Closing the door, Lily revealed a smirk on her face. She was on her menses that night, and Edric was unconscious, so how could she get laid?

She came here that night to pretend that she had a one-night stand with him so Margaret would believe her later on when she claimed that she was pregnant.

Marie told her before that the sperm provided by Edric in the past had been well-preserved in the bank. After that night, Marie would take her to have in-vitro fertilization with his frozen sperm. As long as Lily managed to get pregnant and Margaret backed her up, Edric would be hers forever.

In the past, Lily only pretended to be gentle to gain Edric's good side. But now, she had already understood that she did not want to be just Edric's accessory. She had to live for herself. Her mother, Deborah, was right. If a person had no self-esteem, they would never succeed. Therefore, she was going to make a call for herself.

Jordan sent Irene back to the Chandelle Valley and left. Irene was in a bad mood; she felt dispirited in doing everything. Irene watched TV for a while in the living room. But after nearly an hour, Edric was still not back home yet. Then, she went upstairs to take a bath. When she came out of the bathroom, she heard the phone ringing. Kinsey complained, "It's tough to reach you."

"I was taking a shower just now," Irene replied.

"Guess who I saw on the road just now? Edric and Rowane..."

"I saw them in the Rotate Palace," Irene interrupted her.

Edric hurried downstairs to pick his phone. When he saw Irene's call, his countenance changed. "Did you pick up Irene's call?" he questioned.

"Yes," Margaret answered.

"What did you say to Irene?"

"Nothing. I just said that you're sleeping and tell her not to disturb you." Margaret shrugged her shoulders.

How would Edric believe it? He knew Margaret very well. She would not give up this opportunity to humiliate Irene! He had to ask Irene about the situation immediately. While driving, Edric called Irene but she was on the line. He made another phone call to Rowane and asked, "What happened last night? How did I get sent home by Lily?"

Rowane decided to play dumb. "I don't know. The designated driver sent me home first," she answered.

Edric felt that things were not as simple. He did not suspect that Rowane was lying to him for sure. Instead, he found Lily rather suspicious. He called John again, ordering, "Keep an eye on Lily and see what she is doing recently."

Edric didn't come back home the previous night. Irene surely felt uneasy. Kinsey's phone call reminded her that she and Edric had been together for more than half a month. She should be able to find out if she was pregnant; it should be able to be detected once she was conceived for more than ten days. At the thought of it, she went to the pharmacy outside to buy the test kit right away.

She couldn't sleep well after tossing and turning that night. There were two things on her mind; firstly, it was about the pregnancy test, and secondly, it was about Edric. When it was just dawn, Irene got up and took out a test kit to test it. For the fear of inaccuracy, she took out a few more test kits to test it all at once.

A few minutes later, two red lines appeared on all the few test kits. She was pregnant!

Irene stared at the red line in shock. The unexpected surprise made her completely unable to believe it. She got pregnant only after she had been married to Edric for five years, but now she got pregnant just in a month's time. No matter how she thought about it, she found it rather incredulous.

She rubbed her eyes again. It was no mistake. All the test kits showed two red lines. Irene bent down instantly and covered her face with her hands, crying. These were tears of joy. Eden was saved!

Almost instinctively, she grabbed the phone and wanted to call Nathan, but she stopped when she was ready to dial his number. She was still worried that the test kits were inaccurate. She had to ensure that everything would go perfectly well.

Irene decided to go to the hospital to get a proper examination. She had her breakfast hastily and took a taxi to San Fetillo Hospital.

She went too early and the hospital had not opened yet. Despite that, there were still many people waiting in the hall and lining up to register.

Irene also lined up in the queue for registration. Soon, she got her waiting number. There was still some time before the work hours. Hence, she stood next to the hospital's bulletin board and read the brochure to kill her boredom. Regardless, she still found the waiting time hard to pass.

She looked at her watch every five minutes to soothe her anxiousness. Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice ring out from behind, saying, "Mom, we're too early."
