You Are The Pursuit of My Life novel Chapter 60

Edric had been here countless times in the past three years. Thomas had a very regular life and would definitely return home before 8 pm.

Today was an exception. Edric looked at his watch. It was ten o'clock in the evening already. The window was still dark. Did something happen?

Edric waited downstairs for a while longer yet still didn't see Irene or Thomas. A middle-aged woman living in the same building happened to be back. She had seen Edric staring at the window many times. If it weren't for his stately manner and expensive clothes, she might think he was a lunatic.

It was just a shabby building. What was there to look at?

Edric pointed at Irene's window and asked the woman, "Auntie, do you know where this family went?"

The woman gave Edric a strange look. "Are you a friend or a relative?"

"Relative, a distant relative," he answered.

"A distant relative?" The woman looked suspicious. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "They have moved away."

"Moved away? When?"

"A few days ago."

"Do you know where they moved to?"

"Probably to live with their son- in- law," the woman replied.

"Son- in- law?" Edric was stunned. He just learned about the kid, now there was a son-in-law. How many secrets did Irene have?

"Aren't you a relative? How did you not know their daughter got married?" The woman stared at Edric with an odd look.

"I..." Edric didn't know how to answer.

The woman ignored him and went upstairs. Edric stood on the spot in a daze. The situation was beyond his imagination. Irene moved away without saying a word.

It was the same when he was targeting Kinsey before. He thought she would badger him, yet she just disappeared all of a sudden. He spent ten long days by himself and had to give Kinsey her job back. As soon as he gave the order, Irene showed up again.

Edric remembered how hostile she was to his mother in the restaurant that day. It was said that people who loved each other would tolerate anything for each other. Irene had never tolerated his mother. She fought with his mom ever since they got married. No wonder his mother didn't like her. It also told him that Irene had never loved him.

She readily accepted the divorce and never tried to mend their relationship because she didn't care about him at all. She didn't have any hesitation even in the face of such harsh terms.

He was still dwelling in the past, yet she had being preparing for tomorrow. Eric suddenly found himself ridiculous. What was he doing?

Edric didn't get home until dawn. Margaret already got up when he was back. She knew Edric didn't come back the whole night. If it were in the past, she would have called him to ask about his whereabouts.

But Edric went to the party with Lily last night. He must be with Lily if he didn't come home. Margaret could hardly wait for Edric to spend the night with Lily. She certainly wouldn't call to disturb them.

Margaret realized that she was wrong when she saw her son come back so early. It was apparent that he wasn't with Lily. Looking at the dark circles under his eyes, she felt worried for him. "Did you stay up late in the company again?"

Edric groaned as a response.

Margaret asked the maid to prepare breakfast while Edric freshened up. The breakfast was ready when he came out of the bathroom. Edric sat down by the dining table and ate the food. Margaret carefully observed him and found out that he had slimmed down.

"Edric, don't work too hard. Take care of yourself."

Edric groaned again. Margaret sighed and said, "Even though we lost the construction bid, Steven will compensate us with the sports event."

"Did Steven tell you that?" Edric asked.

"Deborah said that. It must be what Steven told her." Margaret was in a good mood. "The sports event is a lucrative gig. I think it's not worse than the construction bid..."

Edric darted his mother a scornful look. "Don't you think it's too early to celebrate?"

Margaret certainly knew what he meant. She was silent for a moment. "Edric, I've thought about it. We'd better announce the engagement to the public. The ceremony can be carried out in Steven's house per his idea." "Do whatever you want. Don't ask me!" Edric stood up, wiping his mouth. "I'm going to work!" "Aren't you going to rest at home for a while?" Margaret was surprised.

"No, I still have work to do in the company!" Watching her son striding away, Margaret stamped her feet. How could this be good for his health!

Edric ordered John as soon as he arrived at the office, "Go find out where Irene moved to. Be quick."

John found Irene's new address in no time. Edric looked at it silently for a while before he grabbed his coat and went out. He drove to Irene's new home. Knowing that she wouldn't be there at this time, he still couldn't help but want to see it.

Irene's new home was in the southern part of the city. The neighborhood had nice facilities and a kindergarten nearby, which was also why Irene chose to buy an apartment here. It was convenient for Eden to go to school.

Edric parked the car outside and walked into the residential quarter. He went straight to the third building where Irene lived in.

Before he got near the building, he saw Thomas sitting downstairs, basking in the sun. A little boy was play the ball not far away from Thomas.
