Chapter 51

The person in the photo looked exactly the same as Irene. Edric suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes. He studied it carefully and realized that he was right. It was Irene. She dressed plainly and looked 18 or 19 years old in the photo. How did Irene's photo end up in Steven's book? Edric also noticed two words - "my love" -- written on the back of the photo when he was about to put it back in the book.

My love? How was Irene Steven's lover?

How could it be? How could Irene be Steven's lover? Steven was old enough to be Irene's father. Suddenly, Edric remembered how Steven pulled Irene's hand outside of the teahouse. Did Steven fall in love with Irene? Was that why Steven handed Irene the project? This could also explain why Steven wanted to compensate him with the sports event. He was feeling guilty.

While Edric was pondering, Steven had finished his call and turned around to continue to talk to Edric about the sports event.

Edric was not in the mood to listen to it anymore. He collected himself and put the book back to its original place. "I also heard about the sports event. But the Reed Family seems to be interested in sharing a piece of cake as well. I'm afraid that it won't be so easy if they get involved."

Steven was stunned. "Who told you that?"

"Inside news. But it's likely to be true. The Reed Family will definitely not let such a good opportunity slide by," Edric said while observing Steven's face, "I'm afraid that there will be changes in this matter at that time."

Steven's expression changed obviously. Irene and Lily were both his daughters that he loved equally. But he would definitely try to satisfy Irene first if she made the request since he owed more to her.

Edric noticed all the changes in Steven's expression. He felt emotional for some inexplicable reason. He always thought that Steven was an upright official, rare in the government.

And he never expected him to be the same as everyone else. He controlled his anger and left with an excuse.

Edric's heart was filled with mixed feelings. He couldn't imagine that Steven and Irene would have that kind of relationship? Had they slept together already? Or was it a onesided crush?

Irene was not that kind of person. She would never get involved with someone old enough to be her father! So it was Steven who was obsessed with Irene?

It must be so! Steven must covet Irene's beauty, and Jordan was so cunning that he lured Steven with Irene as the bait.

It seemed that Jordan didn't have any true affection for Irene. He was just using her. "I knew this playboy was not up to anything good," Edric thought to himself while driving to Irene's neighborhood.

After Irene went home, she had dinner with Thomas and Eden, took Eden out for a walk, and watched two episodes of a TV show. When it was time to sleep, she bathed Eden and helped him put on his pajamas. When Eden wanted a glass of milk before going to bed, Irene opened the fridge and realized that they ran out of milk. So she had to go out and buy more.

She suddenly felt that someone was watching her when she walked out of the alley. An inconspicuous car was parked outside of the alley. Irene trembled when she saw the person sitting in the car.
