You Are The Pursuit of My Life novel Chapter 81

After Irene went out of the cafe, she received a call from Jordan. He asked, "Where are you?"

"I went to see Kinsey," she lied.

"Why didn't you call me and say that? I came all the way here for nothing," Jordan complained.

"Sorry, I left in a hurry, so I forgot," she apologized. Jordan decided to let it pass. "I'm going back to the company. See you later."

After hanging up, Irene got on the taxi. It was rush hour, so there were a lot of cars on the road. Needless to say, she was caught in a traffic jam. Fortunately, her boss was Jordan, so she wasn't afraid of being reprimanded for being late. Thinking of Jordan, a sweet smile appeared on her face.

A familiar voice rang out, "How long are we going to be stuck in this traffic?"

Irene turned her head and looked over. It was Marie.

Marie used to be an attending doctor for her infertility. Hence, Irene had a lot of consultations and appointments with Marie. As she so often appeared in Marie's office, those who went to see Marie thought that she was Marie's daughter. Some of them even remarked that both of them looked alike.

Irene felt uncanny about the fact that she and Marie looked alike too. She and Marie didn't know each other and didn't have any blood relationship. However, they did look similar to each other. To be exact, she saw her mother in Marie.

Due to that reason, Irene naturally felt close to Marie. She firmly believed in Marie's words and had never switched to another doctor.

Didn't Marie work in Alsburg City? Why was she here in San Fetillo?

Marie did not notice Irene. She was grumbling to the man beside her. When Irene looked closely at that man beside her, she was positively shocked. Wasn't that Jordan's father, Malcom?

Why would Malcom be out with Marie? Was Marie the woman who made Malcom abandon Jordan and his mother?

It was true that there was such a possibility. Marie still looked charming even though she was at least in her forties. Evidently, she must have been a great beauty when she was younger. Every man would probably fall over her bewitching charm.

Irene's affection towards Marie vanished at that moment. She hated mistresses; all of them were despicable.

After returning to the company, Irene saw Jordan talking to David. When they saw her coming in, they stopped talking. David got up and left. Jordan grumbled at her, "If you weren't here in a few minutes, I was planning to go and look for you."

"I was caught in a traffic jam," Irene said with a smile.

"Come here, I have something to tell you." Jordan waved his hand. "Joanne has come to San Fetillo. She came yesterday. I'm guessing that she's here for you. If she contacts you, you must remember to tell me."

"It's too late. She's already contacted me," Irene replied.

"Didn't you say that you went to see Kinsey? How dare you lie to me." Jordan raised his eyebrows, about to lose his temper.

"I was scared that you might worry about me." Irene reached out and held Jordan's hand. Her initiative extinguished Jordan's anger. He then turned his hand around to hold Irene's hand much more tightly. "What did she say to you?"

"Do you really want to hear it?" Irene raised her eyebrows and looked at Jordan with a faint smile. "She told me about the love story between you two. She wanted me, the mistress, to quit the game."

"Irene, let me get this straight, we weren't anything like what she had told you. Please firmly believe in that standpoint!" Jordan got a little anxious.

"If I believed her words, would I be standing in front of you and talking to you right now?" Irene glared at him. Jordan chuckled after pondering about it. But, he couldn't help reminding her, "Don't believe what others say. Believe no one. Everyone will lie to you except me. Do you understand?"

Irene nodded. "I understand! I'm waiting for you to give me a happy life you promised!"

Recalling that she had seen Marie on the way here, she couldn't help but ask, "Jordan, do you know Marie Walker?"

"I don't," Jordan replied, but in a flash, he scoffed. "But I've heard that she was the woman who asked my father to abandon my mother and me!"

"It's really her?" Irene was stunned.

Rowane thought that Irene would leave Jordan's side once Joanne took action, but things didn't go according to plan. Irene and Jordan were still as close as ever. Meanwhile, Joanne had chosen to leave San Fetillo. It seemed that her meeting with Irene that time resulted in nothing.

Rowane's head started to ache again. She had done everything she could for Edric. What should she do then?

Edric had also learned about Joanne's visit to San Fetillo. When he heard that Joanne left immediately after meeting Irene, he was very shocked.

When he knew that Joanne had come to San Fetillo, he was worried about Irene. After all, Irene had been humiliated by Joanne many times over Nathan.

He thought that Irene would take Joanne's punches as she was in the past, but in the end, it was Joanne who left in embarrassment and disgrace.

It was obvious that Irene didn't let Joanne get what she wanted. Edric was very surprised. How could Irene have changed so much?

Thinking back, at that time, in order to separate Nathan from Irene, Britney had taken it upon herself and confronted Irene. Irene gave in almost immediately. So, why was Irene so unyielding this time?

Plus, Irene hated playboys the most, right? So why did she fall in love with a playboy like Jordan? Why?

Edric frowned. His heart was boiling. He understood that Jordan's place in Irene's heart was unshakeable at this moment, to say the least.

Edric felt a sharp pain in his chest. He was not only in pain, but also very disappointed. Could it be that he could only watch and do nothing as Irene married Jordan and stayed with the latter?
