Chapter 60

Edric had been here countless times in the past three years. Thomas had a very regular life and would definitely return home before 8 pm. Today was an exception. Edric looked at his watch. It was ten o'clock in the evening already. The window was still dark. Did something happen?

Edric waited downstairs for a while longer yet still didn't see Irene or Thomas. A middle-aged woman living in the same building happened to be back. She had seen Edric staring at the window many times. If it weren't for his stately manner and expensive clothes, she might think he was a lunatic. It was just a shabby building. What was there to look at?

Edric pointed at Irene's window and asked the woman, "Auntie, do you know where this family went?"

The woman gave Edric a strange look. "Are you a friend or a relative?"

"Relative, a distant relative," he answered.

"A distant relative?" The woman looked suspicious. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "They have moved away."

"Moved away? When?"

"A few days ago."

"Do you know where they moved to?"

"Probably to live with their son-in-law," the woman replied.

"Son-in-law?" Edric was stunned. He just learned about the kid, now there was a son-in-law. How many secrets did Irene have?

"Aren't you a relative? How did you not know their daughter got married?" The woman stared at Edric with an odd look.

"I..." Edric didn't know how to answer.

The woman ignored him and went upstairs. Edric stood on the spot in a daze. The situation was beyond his imagination. Irene moved away without saying a word.

It was the same when he was targeting Kinsey before. He thought she would badger him, yet she just disappeared all of a sudden. He spent ten long days by himself and had to give Kinsey her job back. As soon as he gave the order, Irene showed up again.

Edric remembered how hostile she was to his mother in the restaurant that day. It was said that people who loved each other would tolerate anything for each other. Irene had never tolerated his mother. She fought with his mom ever since they got married. No wonder his mother didn't like her. It also told him that Irene had never loved him.

She readily accepted the divorce and never tried to mend their relationship because she didn't care about him at all. She didn't have any hesitation even in the face of such harsh terms.
