You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 79

After parking the car at the condominium, Rowane helped Edric into the elevator. Edric had drunk too much, so he couldn't stand still at all. He had been leaning on Rowane all the while.

She used all her strength to hold his body, slowly waiting for the elevator to reach their destination, and soon, the elevator stopped. Rowane helped Edric out of the elevator and stumbled into her unit.

Rowane brought Edric into the bedroom and settled him on the bed. Then, she turned around and made a cup of honey water for him.

Then, she entered the bedroom with the honey water in her hands. At that moment, Edric was lying motionlessly on the bed with his eyes closed and eyebrows knitted.

Rowane looked at his handsome face and sighed slightly. "Edric! Sleep only after you drink up the honey water!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Edric opened his eyes. Rowane helped him up and put the cup near his mouth. Edric drank it all up in one breath and then held her hand tightly while looking at Rowane in a daze. After a while, he spat out, "Irene!" Rowane felt a little sorrowful when he mistook her as Irene again. She finally understood why Edric helped her.

It was not because she was beautiful or talented, but because she looked like Irene.

She stood at the side of the bed in a daze and watched as Edric slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep with steady breaths.

Her heart, which had been fluttering for Edric, had returned to its steady rhythm too.

How could she just sit by and do nothing when Edric was so sad?

In the evening, after Irene tucked Eden to sleep, she turned off the lights and went back to her room. When she was about to go to bed, she suddenly heard a beep from her phone.

She picked it up and looked at it. It turned out to be a text message. "Shameless b*tch. You even go to lure an engaged man!"

Irene looked at the text message in dubiety. She thought that the message was meant for someone else, but then another text message came in immediately. "You must be punished for robbing someone else's man. You'll pay for it. Miss Nelson, be careful!"

Blood rushed towards Irene's head while she read the message. Since that person called her 'Miss Nelson', it was obvious that that person intended to send that message to her. She immediately replied, "Who are you? Why are you sending text messages as such to me?"

"You don't need to know who I am. I just want to tell you that you are a shameless mistress!"

"Are you crazy?" Irene quickly replied.

"Wow, I've seen many shameless people, but I have never seen someone like you. You're just a mistress yet you're so arrogant as if you've done nothing wrong. It seems that you really are shameless." The other party sent another text message indifferently. Irene was furious. "Explain yourself or I'll sue you for slander!"

"I'm so scared! Miss Nelson, are you really unaware, or are you playing dumb? I really don't believe that you don't know about Jordan's situation."
