You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 57

Hearing John's words, Edric opened his eyes and saw Irene and Eden. Why would Nathan leave the child behind? Was he not this kid's father? Edric suddenly remembered that Irene claimed to be a single mom on the dating show. His temples throbbed. He ordered John,

"Drive over to take a look!"

Irene put Eden on the seat and ordered a six-inch pizza for him. Then, she got two cups of juice and a plate of snacks. Eden happily buried his head in the food.

Irene smiled and watched him wolfing down the food. "Slow down, take a sip of the juice. Be careful not to choke!"

"Mom, eat this!" Eden took a bite of the pizza. Seeing that Irene didn't eat, he handed his slice to her.

"I'm not eating. I just want to watch you eat!"

"I want you to eat with me!" Eden insisted. Irene had no choice but to take a small bite.

Eden took another bite, his little face full of smiles. "Is it delicious?"

"Delicious!"

Edric walked in and went straight to a seat

next to Irene and Eden. He sat down and ordered a random ten-inch pizza and a plate of snacks.

He was not in the mood to eat. Instead, he had been paying full attention to Irene and Eden and heard their conversation clearly.

He was shocked when he heard Eden calling Irene mom. He glanced at John and realized that John was looking at him as well. They were both astounded.

Irene's voice was so gentle and motherly. With mixed feelings, Edric stared at her and Eden in a daze. Why did this child call her mom? Did she adopt him?

After the meal, Irene took Eden and was about to leave. A man appeared in front of them out of nowhere. Irene was startled. Edric stared at Eden with his scrutinizing eyes and asked, "This is your child?"

"Yes!" Irene spat out one word and strode away with Eden in her arms.

Her figure disappeared, yet Edric was standing still on the spot. He saw clearly that the boy looked very similar to Irene. Their wide eyes, long lashes, and pink cheeks were exactly the same.

Waves of emotion were surging in his heart. It took him great courage to ask her, and he only hoped to hear her denial.
