You Are The Pursuit of My Life novel Chapter 154

Right when Margaret called Edric, Edric was ringing her up as well.

He was clearly aware of why Irene did not want him to meet Eden and why she was reluctant to remarry him. On one hand, it was because she misunderstood him and believed that there was still something going on between him and Lily. On other hand, it was because of Margaret's attitude towards her.

For the former, he could prove to Irene with his actions that he would never have any connection with Lily anymore. As for Margaret, he supposed that her attitude towards Irene could be changed.

The main reason why Margaret treated Irene badly in the past was that Irene could not bear children. Now that Irene had given birth to Eden for the Myers family — or in other words, she had brought them a successor — Margaret would probably stop giving Irene a hard time.

With this thought in mind, Edric took out his phone and called Margaret. Unexpectedly, Margaret was also calling him at that moment; hence, he was unable to reach Margaret. Edric then called her again using the landline telephone, which was answered by Loraine.

"Is this Mr. Myers speaking? You've finally called. Mrs. Myers was getting anxious for not being able to get in touch with you! Give me a moment please, I'll ask her to come to speak on the phone."

"Okay," came a curt reply from him. Edric knew that Margaret would be anxious since he didn't inform her before leaving for Mencodia. Besides, he had been ignoring many calls from Margaret as he was in a bad mood for the past few days.

After a short while, Margaret's voice brimming with anxiety rang from the phone. "Edric, why have you been ignoring my phone calls? John told me that you went to Mencodia, but you didn't tell me about it. So why did you even go there? You-"

"Mom, I have something to tell you." Edric didn't want to listen to Margaret's rambling anymore. He interrupted her and said straightforwardly, "Eden is my biological son, and that makes you a grandmother now."

There was a few seconds of silence on the other side of the phone. Soon after, Margaret raised her voice. "What did you say? You are trying to lie to me just so you could remarry Irene, aren't you?"

Edric felt both exasperated and amused. It was not surprising that Margaret would doubt him. After all, she had always been unsupportive of the idea of him reconciling with Irene, and it was only natural for Margaret to think that he was making up a story.

"Mom, I am not lying; this is absolutely true. If you don't believe me, I can swear on my life for this. If I'd lied to you, when I go back, the plane I'm on will—"

"Alright, alright, I believe you!" Margaret hurriedly interjected. "What's going on? Didn't Irene say that the child belonged to some other man? How could that boy be your child?"

"She lied to me on purpose. She didn't want me to know that Eden was my son," Edric replied.

"Then why did she tell you now?" Margaret questioned.

Edric said, "Mom, it's difficult to explain it on the phone. I'll talk to you about it next time. There's only one thing that I want to ask you for now. Since Eden is mine and Irene's, do you still oppose me from remarrying Irene?"

"Well..." Margaret was in a dilemma. Every time she recalled Irene's bad attitude towards her, she felt rather reluctant to live under the same roof as Irene.

Moreover, Lily was already with Edric now. If things worked out, she would have another grandson, and Edric would have no choice but to marry Lily. Between Lily and Irene, Margaret would rather choose Lily to become her daughter-in-law.

She mentioned, "Didn't Irene leave for Mencodia and refuse to remarry you?"

"As long as you promise to treat her well in the future, she will surely come back with me," came a reply from Edric.

"Let's talk about this another time. Bring Eden back first, will you? He is a descendant of the Myers family, and it's only logical for him to join his own family as soon as possible," Margaret still had doubts in her heart. She knew Edric's character well; he could do anything for Irene. If everything was a lie from him solely for the sake of remarrying Irene, she'd better not get too excited and exhilarated about it first. Only if Eden was back in Haverland and that they have gotten a paternity test could she be completely assured about it.

However, Edric was adamant to make things go his way. "I will definitely bring Eden back, but you must promise me that you will never make it for Irene again. Otherwise, Irene will never allow me to meet Eden, nor will she be willing to remarry me."

"What? She won't let Eden meet you?" Margaret was infuriated upon hearing this. "Eden is a part of us. Who does she think she is to not let Eden meet you? I'll come to Mencodia this instant and get Eden back for you!"

"Mom, wouldn't you be making things worse if you do so? I can handle this matter myself, so please don't come over. Otherwise, if you anger Irene, she'll bring Eden to another place, and I won't be able to find them again. And when that happens, you would not be able to see your grandson ever again."

"Fine, I will stay put here, happy now? However, it's a must for you to bring Eden back to me. The grandson of the Myers family would never be allowed to have a different surname. Do you hear me?"

"Fine, let's not talk about this anymore. That's all for now." After finishing his words, Edric ended the call adamantly. If he had known better, he wouldn't have called Margaret. Margaret was simply unreasonable. Even at this point in time, she was still trying to force Irene and Eden into everything. It seemed like he had to rely on himself to persuade Irene!

After ending the call, Margaret felt a lump in her throat. It was such shocking news! All of a sudden, she had a grandson. Moreover, he was given birth by Irene, whom Margaret always thought was infertile. What should she do with this information? She was at a loss.

On second thought, she felt delighted. She had a grandson now! The Myers family had a successor now...

However, it was yet to be confirmed whether or not this child was truly a Myer.

No! Margaret felt that it was better for her to go and witness everything with her own eyes, as she couldn't just choose to listen to Irene's words alone. Now that Edric was crazily in love with her, he might be cheated by her. Indeed, it was better to go and see for herself. If the child Irene brought with her was really her grandson, Margaret wouldn't hesitate to bring him back and raise him on her own. But if everything was untrue, she could then prevent Edric from being taken advantage of.
