You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 66

When the security guard finished the call, Eden, who was on the sofa, had already disappeared.

Eden ran to the elevator and pressed the button a few times. However, the elevator wasn't opening. He didn't dare to stay put as he was afraid that the security guard would catch up to him. Without hesitation, he ran towards the exit. Edric was driving. He inadvertently glanced at the side and was shocked when he saw a familiar figure.

"Isn't that Irene's child? Why is he alone on the road?" he thought.

Edric immediately stopped the car and went straight to Eden.

Eden was out of breath. All of a sudden, Edric was seen standing in front of him, asking, "Where are you going? Where is your mother?"

"Sir!" Eden exclaimed as if he had seen his savior. "There are bad guys chasing after me. I'm scared."

"Fret not. I will protect you," Edric replied.

Only after Irene was done with her fax did she realize that Eden was gone. She thought that Eden was playing in another office, hence she went to look for him there. "Eden! Eden!"

Irene panicked when she couldn't find Eden after searching high and low. Where could such a young boy go? Did someone kidnap him?

She took the elevator in a hurry in hope that she could find some clues from the security guards downstairs. But, soon as she entered the elevator, her phone rang. It was Edric.

She was not in the mood to answer the phone and rejected it without hesitation. Soon, Edric called again, and without surprise, she continued to decline his calls. After a few times, she couldn't hold her anger in anymore. Picking it up, she shouted fiercely, "Edric, what do you want?"

Nonetheless, it was not Edric's voice that came from the other end, but Eden's sweet voice, "Mom!"

"Eden?" Irene was surprised.

"Mom, I'm with Mr. Myers," Eden said. Apparently, Edric had already introduced himself to Eden while they were in the car.

Irene rushed out of the elevator and went straight to Edric's car. Frankly, his car was rather conspicuous on the roadside. Seeing Irene coming out, Eden poked his head out of the car and shrieked, "Mom, I'm here!"

Irene ran to the side of the vehicle. There was a fit of anger on her face. "Eden, why did you wander off? Did you know how worried I was just now?"

"Why are you being so fierce to a child? He's just a boy. You are the one who didn't take care of him properly. How can you blame him?" Edric looked at Irene with displeasure. "Fortunately, I saw him just now. If someone were to kidnap him, what are you going to do?" "You don't have to play the good cop here!" Irene glowered back at Edric. The one with the least rights to tell her off was Edric.

"Mom, I am sorry. Please don't be angry!" Seeing that Irene was irate, Eden immediately apologized.

"It's okay. I am not. Come down, and let's go home!" Irene was reluctant to let Eden and Edric be together.

Eden was not keen to leave Edric. He continued, "Mom, Mr. Myers said he would send us home..."
