You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 93

Chapter 93

Margaret said that Edric would send them home, but it was John who drove them back instead. Lily and Deborah sat at the back while Edric was in the passenger seat. Although there were four of them in the car, the atmosphere was unusually depressing. Not one word

was spoken on the way.

John glanced at Edric in confusion. Why did he feel that Edric was in a bad mood? What happened?

When they arrived at the Cook family, Edric did not get out of the car. Lily, too, did not cling to him as usual. Instead, she bid goodbye to him sensibly and left.

As Edric's car vanished from their visions, Lily exhaled and asked, "Mom, do you think Margaret believed what you told her?"

"Even if she doesn't, I'll make her believe it!" Deborah huffed. She felt her face growing stiff from all the forced smiles she had to put on just for the sake of explaining things to Margaret earlier in the day. Thinking that all this happened because of Irene, she cursed in a low voice, "D*mn that little b*tch! She came back right at this time on purpose. D*mn it!" "Yeah, I was so nervous today. I thought she would make a scene, but unexpectedly, she did nothing," Lily agreed.

"By the way, how's it going with Edric?" Deborah asked.

"He trusts my words. Seems like there'll be no problems for the time being," Lily answered.

"You're right. Edric has always thought that you're innocent. Besides, he's been feeling guilty towards you that you're not able to give birth. He probably won't suspect you. But you have to be careful in the future," Deborah reminded Lily.

She continued, "Everything is good about Edric, but he's just too respectful to Margaret. If Irene had made the effort to please Margaret back then, she wouldn't have ended up in such a pathetic state. You must remember that no matter what happens, don't provoke Margaret. As long as Margaret's happy, the same will be for Edric."

Lily nodded. Thinking of how Margaret had threatened Edric to divorce Irene with her life, Lily made up her mind that she must coax Margaret well and must never slack off in flattering the latter.

Deborah and Lily stood at the door for a while. Only then they opened the door and entered the house. Irene had already woken up from her nap and was having her meal in the dining room. Maisy and Steven sat on the side and looked at her.

After having a shower and some sleep, Irene looked much refreshed. She was not as lethargic as she was at noon this day. Maisy made spaghetti for dinner before Irene ate it with relish. "Maisy, it's been a long time since I last had your spaghetti. It still tastes as good!" Maisy looked at Irene lovingly. "From now on, I'll make you whatever you like every day!"

"Thank you!" Irene gave Maisy a sweet smile and continued to tuck in the spaghetti.

Steven heard the noise and turned around. When he saw Deborah and Lily, he spoke blandly, "You're back."

Deborah walked over with a beam on her face and asked, "Steven, why do you let Irene eat spaghetti? We should bring her out to a restaurant."
