You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 91

"Hello?" Edric's voice was tinged with sleepiness due to the difference in time zones.

"It's me!" Irene controlled herself so her emotions did not show in her tone. Edric sat up immediately after he heard Irene's voice. Right then, he returned to his usual indifference. "What's wrong?" "Edric, can I... can I ask you for a favor?"

"What is it?" he asked.

"Can... can... can you not get engaged to Lily?" Licking her cracked lips, she finally muttered out a complete sentence.

"I'm afraid I can't!" Edric answered in a straightforward manner. He suspected that there was something amiss with his ears. If she had made such a request a few days ago, he would have been ecstatic and gave her a positive answer. However, right then, he felt that it was too ironic.

"Edric! If you don't get engaged to Lily, I... I will consider getting back together with you!" God knew how much courage it took for her to say that. Nonetheless, Edric sneered and parroted, "Get back together with me? Did I hear it correctly?"

"Edric, aren't you curious about why I want to get back with you?" Irene felt extremely humiliated. It was a shame for her to plead Edric, her ex-husband who had an affair to get back to her. This was her last resort; and for Eden, she did not mind to bear such humiliation. "Miss Nelson, there is a limit to everything. You brought this up after I announced my engagement with Lily. Don't you think it's too late?" Edric simpered.

He had considered it carefully before agreeing to be engaged to Lily. It had nothing to do with love. He only wanted to do right by Lily.

The most important thing was that he did not believe that Irene really wanted to get back with him. She hated Lily and Deborah. Her calling him after he announced his engagement with Lily was most probably for revenge. She wanted Lily's image to be ruined, but he would not allow himself to be Irene's tool for revenge.

"Let me tell you clearly, no matter what reason you have, I won't give up my engagement with Lily!" He hung up after saying that.

Never did Irene want to have any contact with him at all, but for the sake of Eden, she had to give in. Irene bit her lip and called Edric again. The phone rang twice before it was rejected. When she called back for the third times, Edric had already turned off his phone. Listening to the mechanical female voice from the phone, Irene's face turned pale, her body shaking like a leaf. How could Edric be so heartless? How could he turn her away?!

Her mind was echoing with Edric's ruthless words to her, "No matter what reason you have, I won't give up my engagement with Lily!"

"Edric, you will regret it! I swear you will regret it!" Irene thought.

"How did the negotiation with Edric go?" Nathan asked.

She didn't come back to her senses until Nathan came over and gave her a nudge. She replied, "He said, no matter what reason I have, he won't give up his engagement with Lily!" "Did he really say that?" Nathan was shocked.

"Did you not tell him about the child?"

"He said that no matter what reason I have, he won't give up on Lily. Nathan, I know Edric's personality very well; he and I are very stubborn people. As long as he has made his decision, he will definitely stick to it." Irene shook her head. "It seems that I have underestimated Lily's standing in his heart." "Then what should we do?" Nathan frowned. "Irene, just tell him about Eden. No one is capable of hurting their own children; Edric is not such a cruel person. I think you should call him again!"

"It's useless. He's turned off his phone!" Irene smiled bitterly. She had thought of telling Edric the truth, but Edric did not even give her a chance.

"How could this be?" Nathan sighed. "Irene, don't worry. Call him again after a few hours. His phone won't be turned off the entire time."
