You Are The Pursuit of My Life novel Chapter 205

"Because of Marie," Dave sighed. He told Irene about Marie threatening him, and continued, "If Marie wasn't so vicious, I would have buried this in my heart for the rest of my life, but now I don't think I can do it anymore. Since Marie can do such harmful things to Margaret, she could do it to someone else. I am worried that she'll harm others again."

"What does Marie have on you?" Irene asked back. Dave had always been peaceful and never offended anyone. The only thing that Marie could threaten him with was his real identity.

However, in recent years, Dave had been really good to her. Her grandmother had married Dave's father. Although she wasn't related to Dave by blood, he was indeed her uncle. This reason wouldn't be a threat to him at all.

Dave stayed silent after Irene's question. After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Because she knew that I liked your mother."

"What did you say?" Irene's voice changed.

"I've always liked your mother, but I couldn't express my love for her because of my identity. That year, I hid in San Fetillo not just because of the fact that the famous painting was stolen, but also because I knew that no one would reciprocate my love..."

Dave didn't know what to say. Although he and Myra were not related, from a moral aspect, they were indeed siblings. He liked Myra, which was difficult for most people to understand and accept.

The living room was dead silent. Irene didn't know what to say. This matter had already exceeded her imagination.

For as long as she could remember, Dave had appeared in her life as her uncle. Later, after her mother passed away, she had left Steven and lived with him.

It was her uncle who had taken care of her. He was not just her uncle, but he had also played the role as her parents. He was her family whom she trusted the most in the world.

Now her most trusted family member had suddenly changed his identity. He was not Thomas Nelson, but the talented designer, Dave Walker instead. Although Irene was shocked, she could accept it. After all, she had never seen her real uncle, Thomas who had passed away, and she had no feelings for him. For her, Dave was Thomas. They were the same person, and they were both her uncle.

However, her uncle had mentioned that he liked her mother. Irene was confused. How could her uncle like her mother? They were siblings. Even if they were not biologically related, they could not have other feelings for each other. Wasn't this what the people called incest?

"Irene, it's all my fault. Your mother didn't know that I like her. My feelings were just my desires alone. It had nothing to do with her. You must not have any bad thoughts about your mother. If you want to hate someone in this scenario, just hate me instead," Dave was a little flustered when he saw that Irene was not uttering a word.

Irene came to her senses and forced a smile when she saw the nervous expression on Dave's face, "Please let me have a moment of silence so that I can think properly."

She really needed to think about it properly. In front of Thomas's worried eyes, she got up and walked into her bedroom. She closed the door and sat by the bedside in a daze thinking, "How could this happen?"

Seeing that Irene had closed the door and there was no movement for a long time, Dave could not sit still. He knocked on the door and called for Irene, but she ignored him. Dave reached out to push the door and realized that the door was locked from the inside. He panicked. Irene was pregnant. Did telling Irene everything cause a bad effect on her? He immediately called Kinsey, "Kinsey, come back now!"

"What happened?" Kinsey was very surprised.

"It's about Irene. It's hard to explain on the phone. You'll know when you come back." Hearing his panicked tone, Kinsey did not ask any more questions and immediately took a leave to rush back to the house.

After thinking for a while, Dave was still worried and he called Jordan to ask him to come back as soon as possible.

The TV station was close to the villa, and about half an hour later, Kinsey had come back. When she entered the door, she saw Dave walking back and forth in the living room. There was no trace of Irene in the living room, so Kinsey asked, "Uncle, where is Irene?"

"Irene is in the room," Dave pointed at Irene's room, "Kinsey, please help me get Irene to open the door."

"What happened?" Kinsey asked. She and Irene were best friends. Kinsey knew how close Irene's relationship with her uncle was. Now that Irene had locked the door, and Thomas could not open it, something important must have happened.

"I..." Dave smiled wryly, "It's not the right time to talk about this now. Go and open the door for me."

Kinsey walked to Irene's room and knocked on the door, "Irene, open the door!"

There was no sound from the other side. She knocked on the door and shouted a few times, but there was still no response. Jordan came back and asked, "What happened?"

Dave looked at Jordan, "Irene knows already."

"What do you mean?" Jordan didn't react for a moment.

"She knows about my identity."
