You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 37

That night, Lily sat alone on the bed in her bedroom until dawn. When she heard her mother sending her father out at dawn, she opened the door and went upstairs.

Upon seeing the dark circles under her daughter's eyes, Deborah felt a little baffled. "Did you lose sleep?"

"Mom, I have something to tell you." After glancing at Maisy, who was cleaning up the living room, Lily took her mother's hand and went upstairs. She told Deborah about how Edric stayed with Irene last night.

The expression on Deborah's face suddenly became grave. She knew clearly how good the relationship between Irene and Edric was, as well as why they separated. If they talked things through and rekindled their romance, things would be hopeless for Lily. This matter must be taken good care of, and they must be prevented from getting back together.

Lily became anxious when she saw that her mother was deep in thought. "Mom, why don't we tell Aunt Margaret about this? She hates Irene so much that she'll definitely stop it."

"No!" Deborah denied outright. "Edric isn't a pushover who can be easily swayed. At that time, Margaret deceived him to make you pregnant and threatened suicide to force him to divorce Irene, which already crossed the line, so that trick is useless now." "Then what should we do?" Like an ant on a hot pan, Lily was anxious. "Why can't that b*tch completely disappear? Why did she have to come back?"

Deborah glared at her. "If you can't keep your calm whenever you encounter something, how can you capture the man's heart in the future?"

"Mom, I know what you're saying, but at the moment, it's not a matter of me capturing a man's heart. It's that Edric's heart doesn't belong to me at all."

"So what?" Deborah sneered, "Your father's heart had always belonged to Myra, hasn't it? But now, instead of Myra, I am Madam Cook. Whoever gets the last laugh is the winner."

"Your situation is different from mine. Didn't you give birth to me? Dad married you for my sake, but I have nothing now." Lily retorted.

"That's because you're stupid! You couldn't win over a man even after such a long time. What a waste of my hard efforts." Deborah was also angry.

"How could I find a way to win over Edric if he wouldn't even touch me?" Lily felt extremely wronged. "It wasn't easy for me to convince dad to ask him to propose the engagement, and he agreed. But I didn't expect that b*tch Irene would do this again. That b*tch is really cunning. She did that blind date TV program and made it popular. Now I realized that she used that blind date TV program to stimulate Edric so they could rekindle their romance!"

Her words reminded Deborah, and her eyes lit up with joy. "I have an idea!"

"What idea?"

"Doesn't Irene want to go on blind dates? Let's create controversy around her blind dates so her reputation would be ruined for good!" Deborah's face was full of resentment. She whispered a few words into Lily's ear. Lily's anxious expression disappeared immediately. She gave her mother a thumbs-up and said, "Mom, how wise of you!"

"Of course, the older, the wiser!" Deborah said smugly.

After sending Irene to her neighborhood, Edric carried her upstairs. Once upon a time, he carried her around the house like this. During that time, her little hands would be tightly wrapped around his neck as she flirted with him coquettishly. What a wonderful time it was. But now, she was still the same person, but was in a completely different mood. She resisted and rejected his embrace. It was as if the person in his arms wasn't a living person but rather an ice cube.

The weight of this ice cube was much lighter than before. Edric couldn't help but say, "Irene, you've lost a lot of weight."

His apartment only had Louis XIII, so he didn't need to say its name. David naturally didn't understand his confusion. He pointed to the wine and said to Thomas, "This wine was specially brought back from France by Mr. Reed. It's more than 50 years of age and very difficult to buy in this country." "Jordan, why are you so lavish?" Irene shouted dramatically. "This wine is so expensive I could feel
