You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 46

"Steven? You... you... were at home?" The sudden appearance of Steven shocked Deborah. Wasn't Steven supposed to be at the government during this time? Why was he at home?" Lily was also dumbfounded when she saw Steven. "Dad, why are you back?"

"Who did you just say cheated you out of hundreds of thousands of dollars?" Steven came over and stared at Deborah. He went to see Irene today, and then he found out that she was almost raped by people. Steven was so angry that his heart ached. To think about it, she was really lucky. If Edric hadn't realized that something was wrong, he didn't know what would have happened.

Irene was a fiery- tempered person. If she were really raped by other people, she would certainly lose the will to live. Steven was distressed, angry, and sorrowful. It was all because of him. If he hadn't married Deborah, Irene wouldn't have run away from home or be kicked out of the Myers Family. Steven felt extremely remorseful and guilty.

He wasn't in the mood to stay in the office, so he pretended to feel unwell and went home to rest. When he returned home, there was no one there. Steven felt uncomfortable and sat in the study as he was consumed with guilt. When he heard the sound of the car outside, he walked out of the study, but he didn't expect to hear Deborah and Lily's words inadvertently.

Although Deborah was shocked, she reacted quickly. "Steven, I'm sorry!"

"Sorry for what?" Steven's voice was cold. It had never been his intention to be together with Deborah. Deborah and Myra were friends, so he also regarded Deborah as a friend. He had never dreamed that he would accidentally hook up with Deborah when drunk. After that, Deborah didn't pursue the matter, and he also forgot about it. However, he didn't expect that Deborah would appear again in his life after more than ten years, and she also brought a child with her. Myra believed that he had an affair and wouldn't forgive him until she died. Steven didn't want to have anything to do with Deborah at all. He originally intended to place Deborah and her daughter in another place, but he didn't know who leaked the news and brought this matter to the surface. Fortunately, the insider was his old boss. He protected him and suppressed the matter, but he had no choice but to marry Deborah and became estranged from his beloved daughter.

After living with Deborah for more than ten years, he found Deborah gentle and virtuous. Although she didn't come from a good family, she was a great cook, and her life revolved around him. The most important thing was that he often saw shadows of Myra on Deborah. Because of that, he gradually developed some affection for her, but he didn't expect to see Deborah's vulgar side by accident.

This side of Deborah was unfamiliar, and it was also disgusting to Steven. Deborah naturally felt Steven's disgust. She immediately explained, "Isn't your birthday coming up soon? Since you like antiques, I planned on buying you a vase. I didn't know that the shady go- between would actually take the money and run away." "What did you say?" Steven raised his voice.

"I'm sorry, Steven! I didn't mean it." Deborah lowered her head with a pitiful expression.

"Dad, Mom didn't mean it. She just wanted to give you a surprise." Lily came up in time to mediate the dispute.

Steven stared at Deborah for a while, then dejectedly went to the sofa and sat down.

"I've been so down on my luck! For the past few days!"

"What happened?" Deborah asked considerately.

"Irene almost got into trouble. Fortunately, Edric found out that something was wrong. Otherwise, the consequences would've been severe." Steven sighed and told them that Irene was almost hurt.

Deborah felt extremely hateful inside. She never dreamed that the person who messed up her plans was Edric. Although she hated him in her heart, she still pretended to be surprised and distressed on the surface. "How is Irene?"

"She was a little traumatized, but she's fine now." Steven's face was gloomy. "If I catch the man surnamed Kent, I'll skin him alive!"

"Yeah, that Kent guy is so vicious. If we catch him, we must teach him a good lesson." Deborah echoed, but her heart was beating fast. If that Kent guy was caught and Dunn was hunted down, would the police unravel her connection to the matter as well?
