You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 65

Margaret and Lily were upset, but it was the same for Edric too. Ever since he learned that Irene had remarried and had a child, he was never in peace.

He always thought that Irene's appearance on the dating show was just to make up the numbers. It turned out that she really wanted to find a father for Eden. That was why she chose someone like Bert.

When he thought of the fact that Irene almost ruined her life by marrying Bert, he was filled with guilt, remorse, and hatred. All that happened to Irene was because of him, and he had to think of a way to make up to her.

Therefore, he could not focus on work for the past few days at all. After work, he did not go home, but drove around Southlake Residence where Irene lived. That time, he found that Jordan had become a frequent visitor of Irene's. Looking at Jordan swaggering in and out of her house and playing with Eden, Edric was frustrated.

Jordan looked at her with such passionate intent in his eyes. Even a blind man could tell it. It was impossible for her to not know about it.

However, she did not refuse Jordan. She allowed him to come and go freely at her house. She must have feelings for Jordan. When Edric thought of this, pain, anxiety, and anger roiled in him.

How could Irene just lean on anyone who came to her aids? The most important thing was that he had already instructed John to reveal Jordan and Irene's relationship to Vincent. Why had the White family not taken any action? He was sullen, but he couldn't do much. Every day, he would go to Southlake Residence and wait there.

He watched helplessly as Jordan sent Irene home. After they finished their meal, Jordan would always hold Eden in his arms and go for a stroll with Irene and Thomas.

Their happiness seemed to be unparalleled, meanwhile, Edric felt as if thousands of arrows had pierced through his heart. He was in so much pain that he wanted to end his life.

However, no matter how painful it was, he could not just leave Irene, for he was worried about her. He would only rest assured after Jordan left.

He knew that he was being pathetic. He was her ex-husband and it was his mistake that they divorced. He had no reason to interfere with her life. He knew clearly that staying there and watching them was just torturing himself, but he could not stop.

It was already past ten in the evening when he reached home. He went in and saw Margaret in the living room with a gloomy face. He said tiredly to Loraine, "Prepare some food for me. I'll have it after a shower."

Seeing that he was going upstairs, Margaret stopped him. "Why didn't you answer my call?"

"Didn't I tell you? I was busy and had no time to accompany you to dinner," he replied.

"I asked your secretary. They said that you didn't have anything important today, but you tell me that you were so busy you didn't even have time to eat? Why did you lie to me?" She pulled a long face.

"Don't you think you're meddling too much into my business?"

"You're my son. I'm supposed to look after you," she justified.

"Oh, I'm your son? I thought I was your pet," spoke Edric sharply. He was in a bad mood.
