You Are The Pursuit of My Life novel Chapter 75

It was not until eleven o'clock in the night that Jordan left Irene's house reluctantly. Seeing that he started the car and left, Edric who had been hiding under the shade left too.

"Things can't go on like this! It's too torturous to wait here every day, and it can't change anything," Edric thought. He had been thinking about it while driving his car. He had even told the Reed family the news. Why didn't they take any measures until now?

Did they really plan to let Jordan marry a divorced woman who had a child? Thinking about it, Edric shook his head. Although Jordan's reputation was terrible, Pedro Reed, Jordan's grandfather had always favored him. Pedro was particular about finding an appropriate match for Jordan. Hence, it was impossible for him to agree to Jordan's choice. So what hadn't they stepped in and stopped Jordan from approaching Irene?

Edric felt that it was a strange turn of the event. At this moment at a manor in Mencodia, Pedro held two iron balls in his hands and was lying on a chair in the garden basking under the sunlight with his eyes closed. The butler, Ivan, came in a hurry and reported, "Master Pedro, Mr. Malcom is here!" "What is he doing here?" Pedro snorted.

"He said it's for the matter about Mr. Jordan," Ivan answered.

Upon hearing this, Pedro opened his eyes and simpered coldly. "Get him out of here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure strode over and greeted, "Father!"

"Didn't I tell you to get out of here?" Pedro was not in a good mood.

"Father, don't be angry. I have something to tell you. It's about Jordan," Malcom said. He had similar facial features to Jordan's, but he looked way more refined.

"Spill it!" Pedro wanted to get rid of Malcom as soon as possible.

"Jordan has gone too far recently. He even hooked up with his assistant. Father, you should teach him a good lesson!" Malcom said.

"What's there to be surprised about?" Pedro snorted.

"The most important point is that this woman is a divorcee, and she has a child," Malcom added.

"What's wrong with a divorcee? It's much better than the woman who is hooked up with a married man!" Pedro retorted.

A blush crept onto Malcom's face instantly. "Father!"

"I've said that I'm not your father. Ever since you abandoned your wife and son and had a relationship with that b*tch, I have disowned you. Jordan doesn't have a father as shameless as you too!" Pedro cursed.

"Father, it's understandable that you're angry with me, but you really should do something with Jordan!" Malcom continued to persuade Pedro with his face flushed.

"I should do something with Jordan? For the past years, were you even concerned about him? You only care about that b*tch. What do you need Jordan for?" Pedro sneered.

"It's your fault if Jordan did something wrong. You're his father! Since you have made up your mind, leave here at once. You should stop caring about Jordan's affairs. It's his freedom to be with anyone as long as she's not a married woman!" Pedro continued.

"Father!" bellowed Malcom.

"Alright, you can leave now!" Pedro drove him away with a frosty face. Seeing that Malcom didn't want to leave, Pedro became furious and shouted at Ivan, who was standing beside him, "What are you doing? Get someone to throw him out!"

Ivan came up to Malcom and whispered, "Mr. Malcom, please leave now. Don't make things difficult for us!"

Seeing this, Malcom left unwillingly.

After Malcom left, Pedro's face was still colored with rage. "This ingrate! he has the nerve to bad- mouthed Jordan. If he hadn't done such a shameless thing, could Jordan have become like this? He is the one who ruins my grandson!" rebuked Pedro.

"Master Pedro, please calm down!" Ivan attempted to calm Pedro down. "It's been so many years. Mr. Malcom knows he's wrong too. Please forgive him!"

"Forgive him?" Pedro growled. "I wanted to forgive him, but have you seen what he did? He's in San Fetillo, but he never thought of stepping in until things developed into such a situation. If he really considers Jordan as his son, why didn't he talk about this matter earlier?"

"Mr. Jordan hates Mr. Malcom so much; he won't listen to Mr. Malcom," Ivan explained.

"Even if Jordan doesn't listen to him, as a father, he still has to do his part, doesn't he? Was he supposed to let Jordan live alone?" Pedro was frustrated. "It has been years, and everyone in this family has hidden the news from me on purpose. They just hope that they can get rid of Jordan by letting him marry a woman who could not help him in any ways. They have really disappointed me!"

"Don’t overthink, Master Pedro. They didn't tell you because they were afraid that you would worry about him," Ivan continued on.

"They're afraid that I'll worry about him? Huh!" Pedro scorned, "What makes me worry is that they are all being so indifferent."

"Master Pedro, you'd better think about how to deal with Mr. Jordan's matter first!" Ivan reminded him.

"Deal with it? Just let him be!" Pedro rubbed his temple and said, "Jordan is a stubborn person, and the more you stop him from doing what he wanted, the bigger his desire to go against you. Let's put this matter aside first. She's just a divorced woman. She just happens to be a little more beautiful than others. I don't believe that she's more attractive than those popular celebrities. Besides, she even has a child. We'll observe her for a while before we draw up a plan."

The next day, when Jordan and Irene came back from lunch, they found an uninvited guest who came to the company. The comer came forward in a hurry. When Jordan saw the person, his smiling face fell instantly. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to check on you."

"Check on me? Are you out of your mind?" Jordan sneered.

Sensing the tension in the air, Irene made a cup of tea and left the two of them in the room. The other party had a rather similar facial feature as Jordan. She guessed that he must be an elder of Jordan. As for whether it was his father or his uncle, she was not sure.

There were only Jordan and Malcom left in the room. Malcom looked at Jordan's hostile gaze and said helplessly, "Jordan, it's your birthday today. I never got a chance to celebrate your birthday with you in the past. But, today, I want to celebrate it with you."

"Hey, you must be sick, aren't you?" Jordan didn't appreciate Malcom's gesture at all. "If you have something to say, just spit it out. I don't have the time to beat around the bush with you!"

Malcom smiled awkwardly and continued, "I just came back from Mencodia. Your grandpa asked me to bring you a message."

"You're not dreaming, are you?" Jordan sneered. "Will Grandpa let you, an ungrateful son who has been driven out of the house, bring me a message? It's really hilarious!"

Malcom ignored his sarcasm and added, "He asked me to relay this to you. He doesn't mind you having fun out there, but he will never allow you to go so far. Divorcees who have a child are absolutely not allowed to enter the Reed family."

Jordan raised his eyebrows and replied in a taunting manner, "Compared with someone who hooked up with a married woman, I guess it's not that big of a deal for me to ask a divorcee to be my girlfriend."

Malcom's face turned red all of a sudden. After a long time, he drawled, "Jordan, you don't understand what happened among us. Your mother and I have no feelings..."

"So you have feelings with that woman who has a husband?" Jordan interrupted him, "Malcom, let me tell you, do you know why I look down on you? If you really dislike Mom, you can choose to divorce her, but you didn't. Instead, you hooked up with a married woman and Mom at the same time. You are the most disgusting and irresponsible man in the world."

"Jordan, I'm sorry!" Malcom looked guilty.

"You don't have to apologize to me. We've nothing to do with each other since you abandoned us and got together with your lover." Jordan glimpsed at Malcom mockingly.
