You Are The Pursuit of My Life novel Chapter 149

Edric did not speak. It did not matter whose child Eden was. What mattered to him most was Irene. She had agreed to Nathan's marriage proposal after leaving him behind in San Fetillo! Edric was heartbroken.

"Edric, Eden is your son!" Joanne said.

"Nonsense!" Edric was stupefied. He had instructed John to investigate Eden's identity in the past. Joanne must be talking nonsense.

"I'm not! Eden is indeed your son." Joanne's voice was very clear. "I heard Grandma and Nathan said that with my own ears. It can't be wrong!"

Edric almost dropped his phone. After a long pause, he finally asked, "How is it possible?"

Joanne scoffed. She could imagine how surprised Edric must be right now.

"Irene was already pregnant with your child when both of you underwent divorce. She hated you for being so cruel; hence, she didn't tell you that. Eden was sick, that was why she came back to San Fetillo this time. Her purpose was to save him by having another child with you and treating him with the cord blood!" Joanne explained in detail, leaving Edric dumbfounded on the other side of the phone.

His phone dropped to the ground and he sat there motionless. He, who had always been smart, couldn't understand the logic of the matter.

"What's wrong?" Lily asked as she watched his expression. It seemed that something bad had happened. Edric ignored her questions and headed straight out of the room.

Lily wanted to chase after him but he had disappeared. Her bad hunch was growing stronger. "Who was the person who called Edric just now?"

"John, book a flight ticket to Mencodia for me as soon as possible. I am going to leave here right away," Edric ordered. He went straight to the basement parking lot, started the car, and sped off.

At the airport.

"Mr. Myers, why do you want to go to Mencodia all of a sudden?" John asked with confusion.

"Send me the specific location of the White Mansion. You must find it before I get off the plane." After that, he went straight to the ticket counter to check in.

John shook his head and thought that this matter must have something to do with Irene.

Early in the morning, Irene went to the hospital for an examination with Nathan and Eden by her side.

Eden was in good health and so was Irene.

"Should we celebrate such good news?" Nathan chirped happily as they walked out of the hospital.

Eden couldn't contain his excitement and said, "I want to eat something delicious."

Irene chuckled, her heart ached a little. Eden was just a child yet he had too many restrictions on food. She was the one who brought him the disease. If it wasn't for her, he would be a healthy boy and had a happy childhood.

"Well, today's an exception," Irene replied. It was rare for Nathan to be so happy. They should be happy, for it was a day worth celebration.

However...

Irene looked out of the window. He who was in the foreign land should be happy too!

After dinner, they went to the park. They had a whale of a time as a happy family. All their worries were left behind.

When they returned to the White Mansion, Eden called out loudly, "Grandma, we're back!" Edric, who was in the mansion, felt his back stiffened instantly. He turned his head slowly to look at Eden who was leaping cheerfully towards the door.

That was his son! He approached Eden, bent down, and touched Eden's face gently. At this moment, the surrounding noises seemed to quiet down. It was as if time had frozen. All he could hear was his throbbing heartbeat. It was as though his heart was about to leap out of his chest.

Edric stroked Eden's face with his hand tenderly. Looking at Eden's delicate face, pallid skin, and his pair of black bright eyes...

His lips twitched unnaturally. Eden was his son-lrene's and his son.

Britney let out a sigh. The biggest concern of hers had happened in the end.

"Madam Britney..." Irene was about to greet Britney when she saw Edric, dressed in casual wear out of the corner of her eyes. Her face turned pale in an instant.

Nathan noticed the arrival of this uninvited guest too. He stepped forward, nodded, and wrapped his arm around Irene's shoulder. "It's okay, I'm here," he whispered.

She felt at ease instantly when she heard Nathan's voice. She straightened her posture and looked at Edric. "Why are you here?"

There were no emotions in her voice and it made Edric shudder.

Edric stood up and looked at her with rage in his eyes. "Of course you wouldn't want me to come. I am here today to have you clarify with me about the truth that you have kept from me all these years," he said.

Irene staggered back a few steps and Nathan held her up in time. Nathan's gaze fell on Joanne, who was gloating aside.

"Mr. Myers, nice to meet you," Shielding Irene behind him, Nathan stood calm and stretched out his hand to shake Edric's.

Joanne stopped smiling. She knew that Nathan seemed calmest when he was furious. She didn't want to be involved in this, for Nathan's wrath would surely burn him alive once he learned the truth.

The two of them did not let go of each other's hands after shaking. Both looked collected but all the people present could tell that a thunderstorm was about to happen.
