You Are The Pursuit of My Life
Chapter 70
Chapter 70
The people present at the dinner were all famous in San Fetillo, but Irene only knew a few of them. Edric and Rowane sat by the window. When Edric saw Jordan and Irene enter, he swept his eyes past them indifferently and continued talking to Rowane. Seeing Jordan with Irene, someone immediately teased him, "Mr. Reed, is this your new girl?"
Jordan glared at him and hissed, "Hey, watch it. This isn't my new girl; she's my fiancee, Irene!"
"Fiancee?" Jordan's words attracted everyone's attention. Edric was holding a cup and drinking tea with a smile on his face, but his eyes darkened when he heard Jordan. Was Jordan serious?
"Well, she really is beautiful. Mr. Reed, you're so lucky!" someone praised.
"Of course. I only like a pretty and talented woman." Jordan was very proud.
Irene scowled at him. Jordan pulled out the chair and said, "Take a seat, my dear!"
His affectionate nickname for her made Irene grow goosebumps all over her body. There was a burst of laughter around them. "Mr. Reed, you are always so considerate and gentle to women."
Jordan stretched out his hand and took a light slap on the person who spoke. "Hey, are you trying to make me look bad? Let me make things clear, from now on, I will only be considerate and gentle to one woman. And that's Irene."
While talking, he looked at Irene, but she ignored his scorching gaze. The people around them guffawed aloud. "Even Irene doesn't believe what you said, let alone the rest of us."
"I'll prove my words with actions. Soon, you'll all believe me!" Jordan declared.
"All I know is a leopard can't change his spots," a man interrupted. Jordan gave him a glower and added, "You just wait and see."
"I'm so scared. Irene, I was just joking. Mr. Reed is the most gentle and faithful man I've met. He's only good to you. You mustn't let him sleep in the doghouse just because of the joke I've made."
As soon as the man said this, the whole audience burst into laughter. Jordan gave him a playful punch and said, "You know, silence is a virtue." "Spare me! I'm just telling the truth!" the man cried out in exaggeration.
Watching their banter, Irene could not help laughing, too.
Edric looked at her smile and felt really upset. How far had she and Jordan gone?
Had they slept together? Jordan was a well-known playboy. If they had not slept together, he would not be so caring to her, would he?
As he thought about the intimate relationship between Irene and Jordan, he felt like his heart was being pricked by thorns.
He picked up his cutlery and scooped a serving of shrimp for Rowane. Watching his action, Irene sneered inwardly. It seemed like Edric was quite considerate of Rowane.
In return, she also helped Jordan place some food on his plate. Jordan felt elated at her actions.
He immediately wolfed down the food she gave him as he said, "It's delicious!"
Edric's eyes flashed with gloom. Jordan's companion saw that he was in glee and suggested, "Irene, since it's your first time here today, why don't you do a drinking game with Mr. Reed? You two wrap your arms around each other while you stand closely and drink the wine. No breaking of eye contact!" "Yes, yes." Someone immediately echoed, "Drinking game! Come on, let's have it!"
The person who proposed the idea poured glasses of wine and placed them in front of Irene and Jordan. Jordan picked up the glass and said, "Dear, since they're all so excited, we should fulfill their wishes."
Edric stopped eating and glimpsed at them coldly.
