You Are The Pursuit of My Life novel Chapter 55

Edric went back to his car in long strides. He leaned back in the seat and realized how ridiculous he had been. He gave her his heart, yet she never cared about him at all.

He had a miserable time after she left, yet she lived a relaxed and comfortable life. She had both Nathan and Jordan. Edric felt bitter at the thought of the men following her around.

Could he let her go like this? It was not worth wasting his time for a heartless woman. But he was not resigned. He kept hearing her sweet voice in his head, "To hold your hand and grow old together!" He thought to himself, "Irene, you promised me that. Don't think you can go back on your words!"

Edric pondered for a while and called John, "Ask someone to tell Madam White that her precious grandson is hanging out with my woman in San Fetillo. Ask her what she wants to do about this."

"I'll do it right away!" John answered immediately.

"One more thing, tell Chuck White that his future son- in- law has been pestering a divorced Executive Assistant all day long. It's

quite inappropriate and the gossip is spreading around San Fetillo." John answered again. He thought to himself, "Who said that only women can be jealous? Men can be worse. Mr. Myers is going to separate them once for all!"

Edric rubbed his eyebrows after the call. He finally vented his anger a little bit. He didn't believe that Madam White would be indifferent if she heard that his baby grandson was with Irene.

Back then, Madam White wouldn't let Nathan have anything to do with Irene even when she was single. She would only object more now that Irene was a divorced woman. Nathan would disappear from San Fetillo as soon as Madam White stepped in.

As for Jordan, Edric believed that the Reed Family would take action once Chuck gave Jordan's grandfather a call. Thinking of this, Edric cheered up again.

Irene and Nathan left the river with Eden. People stared at their muddy faces with a strange look when they were trying to get a cab on the side of the road. They didn't pay attention to the stare and went home by taxi.

Thomas was very surprised to see them back. "I didn't go grocery shopping because I thought you're not coming back for lunch. I can go to buy some prepared food now."

"Don't bother. We can just make some noodles," Nathan said.

Irene nodded and said, "Uncle, just make some noodles for us. Nathan isn't picky."

Thomas moved fast. The steaming egg noodles were already on the table when they came out of the bathroom after washing their faces. Eden ate half a bowl and fell asleep.

Irene carried Eden into the bedroom and placed him on the bed. Nathan finished his meal and Thomas was cleaning up the table.

Irene poured Nathan a glass of water. They sat on the couch together and chatted. Nathan frowned when he recalled Edric's sudden appearance earlier in the day. "What happened with Edric today? It was quite a coincidence."

"Who knows? I've seen him around rather often recently," Irene replied.

"Is that so? Is he following you?" Nathan became vigilant.

"Follow me? I don't think Myers is that bored. Maybe it's just a coincidence," Irene answered.

"From the way he behaved today, I think he hasn't given up on you yet."

"So what? I've given up on him already," Irene sneered and became a little angry when she thought about it, "I would have thrown mud at him if Eden hadn't been there today!"

Nathan frowned slightly. "Irene, you and Edric have a lot of chances to meet. He will find out about Eden sooner or later. You need to think of a way to deal with it as soon as possible. You can't be as flustered as you were today."

Irene nodded and said, "I know what I'm doing. Don't worry. I was in a panic today because I'm not ready yet. It won't be like this if we meet again in the future."

"You already know how to handle him? How?" Nathan was confused.

"Yes, I have a solution. Eden is my child. I'm going to admit it in the future. As powerful as Myers is, he can't stop me from having a child with other people."

"Edric wouldn't buy it so easily. Eden looks like you. He will definitely investigate it. Things will be tricky when he finds out," Nathan was not so optimistic. "Why don't you let Eden go with me?"

"Nathan, you've done too much for me. I'm very grateful for your help. But I have to keep Eden with me this time," Irene was very determined. She entrusted Eden to Nathan because she didn't have the ability to raise him. It was different now. She already had a stable job and could provide for Eden. She did not have to bear the pain of separation anymore.

"I know you can't live without Eden, but I'm really worried that Edric will fight for Eden after knowing the truth. You won't be able to win the custody battle."

"I won't let him know that Eden is his child. Eden's birthday is fake. According to that date, I became pregnant three months after I left him."

"Edric is not stupid. He would have thought that the date could be fake."

"Don't worry. I have something more convincing," Irene replied, "He will definitely believe it."

Nathan stayed for a while longer before leaving. Soon after he returned to the hotel, Jordan came to visit him. Nathan was surprised to see Jordan's black eyes. "What happened?"

"Didn't Irene tell you?" Jordan asked.
