You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 67

Edric parked his car at the entrance. At the same time, Margaret had also reached their house in her own car.

The duo went into the villa, both irate. The maid, Loraine Bush, was shocked when she saw Margaret's sorry state. She asked, "What's wrong?" Margaret didn't answer Loraine. She threw her purse on the sofa and hissed, "Let's talk!"

"Okay!" Edric spat out a word and flounced himself onto the sofa. He looked at Margaret coldly and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

Margaret was smittering with fury when she saw how indifferent Edric was. "Edric, how can you be so cold-blooded? I am your mother, but you didn't do anything when that woman splashed the water on me. Look at how arrogant that woman has become!"

"You asked for it!" Edric sneered, "As a well-educated individual, how dare you interfere with other people in public? You even attacked her in front of her child! You should already consider yourself lucky that you got off with just that!"

"How could you talk to me in such a tone!" Margaret squealed, incensed. "Your father passed away at a young age. I had to manage both the company and take care of you at the same time for so many years. Do you think it was easy for me?"

"Ever since I start remembering things, you've been mentioning it non-stop. Mom, aren't you tired of it?" Edric asked. "Which single mother in this world has it easy? Compared with others, at least Dad left the company to you. With that company as your income source, you didn't end up homeless, and you won't have to worry about your survival. You're one lucky single mother if I can be frank, as it's not that case for others."

Edric got emotional. When he thought of how Irene had been forced to such an extent over the years, he felt extremely exasperated. If it weren't for Margaret, who had been controlling him with all these excuses, and her involvement, he and Irene wouldn't have become such strangers.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have blamed himself like that, and he wouldn't need to live in such pain. They would have their own children, and they would live a happy life.

Thinking of those things, Edric's anger erupted like a volcano. "It's said that maternal love is meant to be selfless and not to ask for returns. Why have I never felt this before? Ever since I could remember, you have been chaining me by your side. If I didn't behave as you wanted me to in the slightest, you would always tell me off. Other mothers want their children to be happy, but in your eyes, there's only the company and wealth, not me. I always wanted to ask you, am I really your son?"

"Edric? What is the meaning of this? What happened?" Margaret stared at Edric. It was as if she was looking at a stranger.

"Why do you have to torture me like this?" Edric's eyes turned red. "I would rather you abandoned me back then and found yourself another man than to tie me up for a lifetime with all these excuses. I would rather you throw me in the orphanage than live this life that is worse than death!"

Hearing Edric's words, Margaret's eyes widened in shock. Was that how his attitude should be when he was talking to her? She was his mother! "You disobedient b*stard..."

Before Margaret could finish her sentence, Edric interjected her immediately, "Disobedient? If I'm a disobedient son, why would I let you torture the girl I love and obey your orders as well as force her out of the house? Furthermore, I have been turning a blind eye to her while she wanders out there, penniless! You've been guilt-tripping me for decades, aren't you tired of it?"

"How... How dare you say that to me?" Margaret quivered with rage. Edric had always been obedient to her, so she never had the chance to reflect on her actions. Thus, she always thought that what she had done was for Edric's good.

This was the first time Edric told her his actual thoughts. How could she take it?

Margaret felt that Edric was purposely going against her for Irene's sake. "How could you raise your voice at me for that woman? That d*mned woman must have poisoned your mind! You are going to ditch me, aren't you?!" Margaret screamed, "If she hadn't gone against me, would I have done that to her?"
