You Are The Pursuit of My Life novel Chapter 231

After hanging up, Irene found that Edric was behind her, she asked, "When did you arrive?"

"Just a second ago," Edric said with distress, "Irene, please give up on Nathan!"

"Why?" Irene asked.

"I heard everything just now. Nathan already has another woman and a child. Why do you have to bring yourself down and insist on following him?"

"Bring myself down? I don't feel like I'm bringing myself down at all!" Irene retorted.

"Nathan has another woman and that woman has a child. Don't you feel uncomfortable just thinking about that? Why are you so willing to accept her and her child?" Edric asked.

"Nathan treats me very well. Since he has accepted my child, why can't I accept his?" Irene replied.

"I understand what you're thinking. You're accepting Nathan and his child born from another woman not because you love Nathan, but because Nathan treats you well, and you just want to find someone to rely on. Irene, you can't do that. Marriage is something that only happens between two people who love each other. You can't just sacrifice your entire life to repay him," Edric explained.

"Edric, this has nothing to do with you." Irene said.

"Why does it have nothing to do with me? Irene, you surely know about my feelings for you," Edric insisted.

"So what? I'm not obligated to marry you just because you love me," Irene interrupted him.

"Yes, you are not obligated to, but I am your child's father. We have two children. Don't you think that you should consider being together with me for their sake?" Edric stretched out his hand and held Irene's hand, "Irene, I truly love you. Please give me a chance for me to take good care of you and our children!"

"I refuse!" Irene pulled her hand out of Edric's grasp, "Edric, let bygones be bygones. I'm already engaged to Nathan in Mencodia. I'm Nathan's fiancee right now. Please understand that, so we can never get back together!"

"Irene!" Edric pleaded.

Irene turned her head away and said, "Edric, like I've said before, I won't stop you from seeing the children, but I advise you not to think about other matters."

Seeing that Irene was so resistant towards him, Edric was devastated and his hatred for Marie, Deborah and the others increased at the same time. It was all because of those b*tches. If it was not because of them, he and Irene would not have become like they currently were. He would never let them off easily.

Marie really thought that everything would be fine after she dealt with Tommy. What a joke. He would definitely give her a big 'gift' as soon as possible for her to enjoy.

After dealing with Tommy, Marie's mood was excellent. So, she only needed to deal with Rowane. However, since she had handed the matter over to Dunn, she believed the matter involving Rowane would be taken care of soon enough.

Marie already had plans to buy a property prior to that. Later on, she saw an apartment that had exquisite interior design and bought it immediately. Then, she moved into the apartment. Marie would always be in a daze as she felt empty in her heart, because she still missed Malcom a lot.

She could not just let Malcom return to Lydia's side like that. She thought that if she could not obtain what she wanted, others could not have that too. Thus, Marie planned to let Malcom and Lydia have a falling out.

However, to her surprise, she saw a piece of news about Malcom and Lydia. They were wearing a set of matching clothes, looking very radiant.

Seeing the news and the photos of those two, Marie felt so uncomfortable that she kept on tossing and turning that night and could not fall asleep. She went out the next morning with dark circles under her eyes. When Marie was about to go to the hospital in a bad mood, she was stopped by someone at the entrance. "Marie!"

The one who had stopped Marie was a thin man. He was dressed in casual clothing, and she could not recognize who he was, so she asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm Simon!" he said.

The word 'Simon' made Marie's face change. Didn't Deborah say that Simon would not be released for life? What was going on? When she was thinking about it, Simon reached out to hold her hand, "Marie, I'm so glad to see you."

Marie felt disgusted when Simon's rough hands touched hers. That man had hurt her heart so much. It was he who had touched her tender body with those disgusting hands. He was that vulgar man who took her body. In her memories, this man was no more than a nightmare for her.

She could not wait for him to die. How could she be happy to see him? She quickly pulled her hand out of Simon's grasp, "When were you released?"

"Just now. I originally wanted to look for you and Deborah after getting released, but I heard that Deborah is Mr. Cook's wife, so I didn't dare to go to her. Then, I heard that you were here, so I came to find you first. Marie, I haven't eaten for a day. Let me go to your house to have something."

Simon actually wanted to go to her apartment to eat. How could Marie not feel disgusted? It was impossible for her to let Simon in her apartment. She pulled out some money from her pocket coldly and told Simon, "Go eat by yourself. I have something to do right now, and I have to go to work."

Simon clearly saw the disgust in Marie's eyes, and he really did not feel too comfortable. One of the reasons why he had initially disagreed to cooperate with Edric before was because he fantasized about obtaining freedom and starting anew with Marie.
