You Are The Pursuit of My Life novel Chapter 118

It was a reminder for Edric when he had kicked her out and taken back all the jewelry he had given her. Edric's face suddenly sank. "Irene, can't you just talk nicely?"

"I'm sorry. I'll be quiet. I shouldn't have offended you! Your Excellency, please forgive my insolence!" Irene lowered her head pitifully.

When he heard her sarcastic remark, Edric couldn't take it anymore. He pointed to the bracelet and said, "Irene, don't forget your place here. If I ask you to wear it, you have to do as I say. Otherwise..."

Edric didn't manage to finish his line before Irene got off his lap. "Otherwise what, Mr. Myers? Will you end our relationship as lovers?"

Irene's round beautiful eyes were twinkling with ridicule and disdain. Edric was so enraged that he could not get a word out of his lips. But honestly, what could he use to threaten her?

Irene was not the one begging to be his lover. It was Edric who threatened her to be one. She didn't want to at all. Except for using the video to threaten her, she had no other weaknesses. And even that video was nonexistent anyway.

Edric held his breath, and he didn't know where to direct his anger. "Go draw a bath for me. I want to take a bath!"

Irene entered the bathroom without saying a word. He heard the sound of running water coming from inside. A few minutes later, she came out and spoke, "Mr. Myers, your bath is ready. Please go ahead!"

Edric really wanted to turn on his heel and leave. In the end, he held back his frustration and went into the bathroom. He took his bath hastily. It seemed like being nice to Irene was pointless. Very well, he had to do things the hard way then!

After taking a shower, he walked out of the bathroom. His eyes widened as he saw Irene asleep on the sofa. So much for all that talk about not being able to sleep in an unfamiliar place!

Edric went over to pick her up and put her back down on the bed. The softness of her bosom awakened his inner desire. He really wanted to make love to her, but he couldn't bear waking her up when he saw her sleeping so sweetly.

Irene actually hadn't fallen asleep at all. She was pretending so that she could escape him. After Edric had set her down on the bed, she was secretly overjoyed. But much to her disappointment, Edric didn't let her go; instead, he clung to her tightly in his arms.

She could feel his member pressing against her, and that felt so uncomfortable. She was too afraid to move lest he saw through her act. Until late night when she heard Edric snoring softly, only then did she slowly wriggle out of his embrace and went to sleep with her back facing him.

Although she fell asleep eventually, she couldn't sleep well; she couldn't shake off the worry in her heart. At dawn, she turned over and woke up. Edric, who was beside her, reached out to hold her. "Let's sleep in. I will send you to the office!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Myers. But please, at least let me make my decision regarding my own work. After all, I'm not proud of you and me being in this relationship!" Edric was speechless. She got out of bed, washed up, and headed out of Chandelle Valley.

As she hadn't slept well, her mind was muddled. She barely made it through the day. She then received a call from Kinsey, asking her out for dinner.

Irene didn't want to go back to Chandelle Valley to see Edric's face, thus she agreed to the invitation happily. Kinsey and she agreed to meet at one of the busiest streets in San Fetillo. When Irene arrived at the restaurant, Kinsey was already there. She had ordered dishes that both she and Irene liked.

Seeing Irene's dark eye circles, Kinsey couldn't help but tease and ask if she was having too much fun the previous night. Irene sighed and told Kinsey what had happened. Kinsey laughed so hard when she heard about Edric choking on the fishbone. It was funny no matter how she looked at it.

"You should have taken some photos of him at the hospital. 'Edric Myers Hospitalized from a Fishbone', what a great headline!" Kinsey burst out laughing.

"Is that all you can think of?" Irene glared at Kinsey. "Help me think of a way to deal with him! Last night, I escaped by pretending to be asleep, but I can't do the same thing again tonight."

"Irene, why did you go over to that house in the beginning? It's impossible for you to avoid him forever. You haven't had sex in so long anyway. Why don't you just pretend he's an escort? A handsome gigolo, perhaps. That way, you're not losing out!"

"I don't want to do it with such a disgusting man. Even if I had to, I want to wait a few days until I'm ovulating. If I can get pregnant on the first try, that would be the best," Irene reasoned.

"That's not going to be easy. You know men think with their d*cks, plus you're so pretty. Edric isn't going to let you off so easily." Kinsey could tell that it wasn't going to be easy to hold off Edric's obsession for Irene. "Why don't you let Lily take your place?"

"How do I do that?" asked Irene.

"If you tell Lily that you live in the Chandelle Valley Villa, that little b*tch will definitely come running to pester Edric every day..."

"That's not a good idea. Myers threatened me that if I told Lily, he would bury me alive!" Irene answered.

"Did he really say so?"

"Yes. He cares about Lily a lot. His heart aches for her frail body, and he even went around looking for famous doctors to provide her with supplements," detailed Irene.

"B*stard! He's so good to that b*tch. Men are trash. How can he still be pining after you when he already has Lily? Edric is such an a*shole," Kinsey cursed fiercely.

After a while, Kinsey added, "Let me tell you, the day before yesterday, I went to Cat Alley with my colleagues from the TV station to do an interview. I saw Edric and his other mistress Rowane there. What do you think they were up to?"

Irene was stunned. She heard Thomas mention Cat Alley before. When she was a child, Myra used to live there with Thomas. Thomas had said that that place was like a slum.
