You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 62

Edric never even expected that she would stay in San Fetillo and bore a child for a peasant. If he hadn't forced her back then, maybe she would not resort to that too?

She couldn't get pregnant after three years with him but she got a baby so quickly after leaving him. It was a huge slap to Edric's face. Edric knew that one of the reasons for infertility was stress and it was probably because of Margaret. Edric really regretted not moving out with Irene earlier. If he had just been more resolute and strong-minded, everything would surely turn out better. They might even have a child together.

As long as they had a child, Margaret would stop pestering Irene. But it was too late now. It was his indecisiveness that made all this mess.

Edric didn't want to go home. He went to the bar alone and started drinking. His phone kept ringing but he didn't bother to look at it.

He downed a lot of wine and finally went home after calling a driver over to the bar.

It was midnight but the lights were still on in the living room. Margaret was waiting for him because he didn't pick up his phone; she was worried.

Edric stood at the door and Margaret approached him with a disdainful tone, "Edric, where have you been? Lily had been waiting for you for a couple of hours now."

"No one told her to wait!" Edric answered impatiently.

"What's the matter with you? What happened?" Margaret stared at Edric.

Edric staggered towards the couch and sat down. "Mom, do you really love me?"

"My child, what are you saying? Of course, I do!" Margaret retorted. She smelt the stench of alcohol and frowned. "Why did you drink so much knowing you have gastritis?"

Edric leaned back and mumbled, "If you really loved me, why didn't you see that I was in pain? Why?"

He didn't believe that Margaret didn't know how his life was these past three years without Irene. He had already given his all into fulfilling his duty as a son but why Margaret couldn't accept Irene for his sake? He had to know. "Edric, you're drunk!" Margaret ignored his questions. She was worried that he might have another relapse of gastritis and quickly instructed the maids to make him some broth.

Edric knew that Margaret was an expert in avoiding undesirable conversations. He watched on as Margaret gave out orders left and right.

That night, Irene was also tossing and turning in her bed. She hated Edric; she hated that she loved him so much. The thought of him cheating on her when he said that he loved her was unforgivable.

Her heart bled when she tried to imagine the scene of Edric and Lily in bed together. What a pair of shameless couples! Anger swallowed her; how much she wanted to murder them!

She was trying her best to cure her infertility in order to appease Margaret but there he was already outside trying to have a child on his own!

Irene recalled how Edric hugged her and said, "I only want you! Not the child!" Irene felt a shiver down her spine.

What a disgusting man. How despicable he could be to be able to lie to her in the face like that? Even after being found out, Edric was so heartless and cruel.

She could never forgive Edric. She would never let Edric know that he had a son! That was his retribution for cheating on her!
