You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 56

John's report to Edric that Old Mrs. White had said that she would find a way to get Nathan back put Edric in a very good mood. He met with a couple of clients in the afternoon, had dinner outside, and sang karaoke before going back home. His cell phone rang on his way home. Edric picked up and heard a strange female voice, "Is this Mr. Myers?"

"Who is it?" Edric asked.

"I am Lily's friend. We're hanging out tonight, and Lily drank a little too much. Can you come to pick her up?" Freya said in a coquettish voice.

Edric was surprised to hear that the gentle and well-behaved Lily would be drunk. He snorted and agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Freya made an OK gesture to Lily who was sitting on the sofa and worrying that Edric would not come. Lily was elated to know Edric was coming soon. She grabbed the liquor on the table and took a shot. Freya poured another glass for her. "One more shot. It can boost your courage. I'll wait for your good news tonight."

Lily took the glass and drank it again. Freya immediately helped her to dress like a drunk beauty.

Edric pushed the door open and saw Lily lying on the couch, inebriated. Without thinking, he stepped forward to help Lily stand up and leave. But she couldn't stand on her own and leaned her limp body against him.

Edric instinctively wanted to push her away. He saw Freya standing aside and ordered her, "Come here and help me get her out!"

Lily was extremely disappointed to hear that. She thought Edric would carry her out, yet it didn't happen.

Thinking how she used to see Edric carrying Irene into the car like a princess, Lily felt aggrieved and irritated.

Edric and Freya helped Lily into the car. He threw her in the backseat and started the car. Lily thought he would come to buckle the seat belt for her gently, so she could seduce him with all she had.

But Edric didn't take the bait. She had no choice but to roll off the backseat when he started driving. Edric saw her rolling down in the rearview mirror and immediately stopped the car. He helped Lily to sit up again and reached out to fasten the seat belt for her. Lily seized the chance to hug him and kiss him.

Edric leaned his head aside. Lily's lips didn't fall on his lips as planned. Instead, she kissed him on his neck.

Lily couldn't care about the details anymore at this point. She hugged Edric tight and rubbed her soft chest on him while moaning, "It's hot!"

Edric was shocked by her sudden provocative behavior. He pushed her away and jumped out of the car.

Lily watched Edric returning to the driver's seat. The car sped to the hospital.

Soon, Edric dropped her off at the hospital. He didn't suspect that she was pretending to be drunk. What she did just now startled him since she had always been gentle and appropriate. He ordered the doctors to examine her. They gave Lily some medicine and even hung an IV bag for her.

In the end, he also called Deborah and Steven to inform them.

Things turned out to be completely different from what she imagined. Freya said that Edric wouldn't resist Lily as long as she dropped her pretense and took the initiative to seduce him. Everything would be settled once they had sex. However, it was not what happened. Edric didn't have any interest in her. Instead, he pushed her away as if she was some monster. Her back accidentally hit the armrest, which made her gasp in pain.

Lily was suffering but couldn't complain. "This is all Freya's fault. She suggested that I could have sex with Edric if I pretended to be drunk. What a f*cking bad idea!"

Just as the nurse prepared the IV bag for Lily, Steven and Deborah rushed over. When smelling the booze on Lily, Steven took on a ghastly expression. "How did you educate our daughter?" He turned back and questioned Deborah angrily, "Why didn't you stop her from going out with these dodgy friends?"
