You Are The Pursuit of My Life novel Chapter 101

After Malcom's phone call, Pedro immediately flew to San Fetillo. The first thing he did after he arrived in San Fetillo was to invite Irene and Thomas for dinner.

Pedro was really angry. Previously, he felt a little bad when he forced Irene to back off. But, he didn't expect her to play such tricks and got back with Jordan again. Pedro decided that since Irene was not playing nice, he had no choice but to deal with her even harsher. He even had a plan to dispose of her.

Irene was brought to the hotel lounge when Thomas arrived at the door. When she saw Pedro's gloomy face, she immediately knew what happened. Before she could explain herself, Thomas stepped forward.

"Uncle Thomas, what are you doing here?" Irene stood up and stopped Thomas. "Uncle Thomas, there is nothing for you to do here. Go home, I'll talk to Pedro myself."

"I invited him here." Pedro slowly picked up a teacup and took a sip of the tea. He did not even look at Thomas. "I take that Miss Nelson didn't really listen to what I said before, so I wanted to invite Mr. Thomas here to have a short discussion."

"Good! I was also looking forward to talking to you about this!" Thomas walked up to Pedro. "How have you been, Mr. Pedro."

Pedro held the teacup in his hands and looked at Thomas. He took a closer look and there was disbelief in his eyes. He was startled and accidentally tilted the teacup to spill it all over his shirt.

Pedro's gaffe stupefied Irene. Thomas stepped forward and took the cup from his hand and put it on the table. He turned to Irene and said, "Irene, step outside for a while. I want to speak with Mr. Pedro!"

"Uncle Thomas, I am not going anywhere. I am staying right here!" Irene was unwilling to leave. Pedro had been around for decades and was proficient in manipulation. Thomas had barely stepped foot out of the street he grew up in. He was a simple- minded guy. How could he possibly stand up to Pedro?

The most important thing was that she was the one that caused all this trouble. She had to face the music.

Thomas smiled faintly and grabbed a piece of tissue casually to help Pedro wipe the tea stains on his shirt. "Rest assured. I am not that weak."

Pedro, at this same time, had also returned to his senses. His voice was completely different from before, which was less domineering and sounded much softer. "Miss Nelson, please leave us be. I have something to say to your uncle."

Irene didn't budge. Pedro raised his voice and ordered the bodyguards, "Please escort Miss Nelson out!"

At this time, Jordan also rushed over after getting the news. "Grandpa, what's the matter? Come at me. It has nothing to do with them."

"Jordan, you're just in time. Take Miss Nelson to dinner. I have something to say to Mr. Nelson," said Pedro.

"But..."

Pedro interjected, "Don't worry, I won't kill Mr. Nelson."

"Yes, Mr. Pedro won't harm me. You two go have dinner," Thomas chimed.

Jordan took Irene and left. The door closed. Pedro stared at Thomas, dumbstruck. He had never dreamed that this Thomas was different from the Dave he knew. "What's going on here? How did you become Thomas?"

"It's a long story." Thomas sat down and picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea. His movements were extremely elegant and there was no fear on his face at all. "Not long after I returned to San Fetillo, the real Thomas passed away. At that time, everyone was hunting for me. I was very vexed, so I assumed Thomas's identity and survived."

"No wonder I couldn't find you all this time. So that's what happened." Pedro sighed deeply. "Why are you doing this? For a woman? Is it worth it?"

"Yes, it is!" Thomas replied. "Life is short, and I only want to pursue what I desire."

"Is this really what you want to become? You had such potential as a designer." Pedro shook his head, his face plastered with regret. He had completely forgotten why he had asked Thomas to come.

Thomas smiled and said, "Pedro, let's get back to business."

"You're not even the real Thomas. What's the point?" Pedro exhaled.

"To Irene, I am still her uncle. I have really grown used to being Thomas Nelson. Don't worry."

"How can I not?" Pedro sighed. "Your appearance really surprised me. I even forgot what I was going to do tonight."

"Since that's the case, let me start first. Pedro, we are not strangers so I'll get straight to the point. I hope that you won't stop what happened between Irene and Jordan."

Pedro smiled bitterly and responded, "Dave, you and I are old friends. Naturally, I will not refuse your request. However, Irene is Myra's child. If Jordan finds out about that, then this..."

"Then we just don't tell them! There are only a few people who know about this. If we don't tell, Jordan would never know."

"But the truth will come out eventually. Can we really keep this hidden forever?" Pedro felt that it was unrealistic.

"I know that but it had been so long since Jordan really fell in love with a girl. Are you really going to break his heart? Love will triumph, I know because I have experienced it. Malcom and I are perfect examples. We know that it was never meant to be but we still risked it all. Do you really want to see Jordan end up like us?"
