Revenge Against My Ex-husband novel Chapter 16

In the darkness of night, a beautifully-designed black car was parked under the building Irene and Thomas lived in. 

The light was dim and the cigarette was flickering in the car, illuminating the man's gloomy face.

The watch on his wrist showed it was 3 am already. Yet the woman was still nowhere to be seen.

Edric, who had been waiting in the car for five hours, cracked a sarcastic smile.

He knew she would stay outside all night when he saw the woman and Jordan left the hotel together intimately. But he still couldn't control himself and had to come and have a look.

There was still a trace of hope remaining in his heart. Yet it turned out it was nothing but an unrealistic fantasy. 

He threw away the cigarette butt angrily, started the car, and soon disappeared into the darkness.

His mother, Margaret, was still waiting for him in the living room when he arrived at home. She complained when she saw Edric coming back, "Edric, what's wrong with you? Mr. Cook rarely has time to have dinner with us. Why did you leave halfway?"

"Mom, I have some business to attend to! Didn't I explain it to you?" Edric looked tired.

"Business? Isn't it because of Irene? Edric, I know you can't forget her. But that little b*tch is so hateful. She not only treated you so cruelly, but also killed Lily's child. Why are you still holding on to such a vicious woman?"

"Mom, I'm not holding on to her!" Edric denied.

"It would best if you are not. You're not a young man anymore. Lily likes you very much and is a perfect match for you in terms of appearance and status. You should hurry up to marry her and have a baby so that mom can finally rest assured."

"Let's talk about it later. I'm exhausted. I'm going up to rest first!"

Looking at her son's tired face, Margaret sighed. Her son had been as busy as a bee for the past three years. His company was growing and he was making a lot more money. Yet he never had a smile on his face. This was all because of Irene Nelson the jinx!

"That d*mn jinx! Why did she come back after walking out?"

She must have heard that her son was going to be engaged to Lily and deliberately came back to disrupt it! Margaret's face was stern. No, she had to have a chat with that woman!

She wanted her to stay away from her son. It would be ideal if she could get out of San Fetillo like she did three years ago and never show up again!

After saying goodbye to Jordan, Irene went to the hospital to keep her uncle company. At dawn, she got up quietly and went to the market, planning to buy a chicken to make some soup for her uncle.

When Irene came back to her neighborhood carrying the chicken, she immediately noticed Margaret, who was waiting for her with a gloomy face.
