You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 94

The next morning when Irene went downstairs, she saw Steven on the sofa in the living room with Deborah. Spotting Irene, Steven revealed an amiable smile and asked, "Irene, did you sleep well last night?" "It was good," Irene replied plainly.

"Let's have breakfast!" As soon as Steven got up, Deborah followed suit too. With a smile plastered on her face, she explained, "Steven had Maisy make you your favorite breakfast. He's been waiting for you to have it together."

"Thank you!" Irene forced herself to say the words. The truth was she did not feel grateful at their kind gestures at all. In fact, she hated seeing their hypocritical smiles. If it were not for Eden, she would not have the energy nor interest to interact with them.

Because of Irene's return, Steven chose not to go to work. It was unprecedented, but he stayed at home to accompany Irene. Nevertheless, he was still busy entertaining numerous phone calls one after another.

As Irene was bored, she went to Steven's study. Her original purpose was to get a book to read, but she accidentally noticed a bunch of documents on the desk. They were about San Fetillo organizing a sports tournament.

The cogs in her mind began moving. Since there was a sports tournament, a bid would definitely be held as well. Edric would certainly participate, and she would not let him achieve his goal. The only opponent who could defeat Edric was the Golden Age Group. She hurried out of the house with her bag in hand to meet Jordan.

Leaving the house, she rushed to the nearby bus station. However, despite waiting for more than ten minutes, no bus was seen. One of the people waiting for the bus pointed to the car on the side. He asked her, "That person has been staring at you. Do you know him?" Irene turned her head and was surprised to see Edric in the car. He was staring intently at her.

Irene did not expect to see him. Her first thought was that Edric had come to pick Lily up, hence she turned her head to the other side. However soon, she heard the sound of the door opening. A familiar scent was nearing; Edric had already walked to her side. "Let's talk," Edric spoke.

Irene looked steadily ahead, pretending not to hear him. Her silence caused him to grow anxious. He drove here the previous night because he could not sleep.

He felt that he had a lot to ask Irene. He parked the car at the bus stop and called her, but he could not reach her. He reckoned that she had turned off her phone. Little did he know that she had already blocked his number.

However, it was not enough to make him leave. He stayed in the car for the whole night. It was a tough and restless night for him. He had been wondering why Irene returned to the Cook family at this time.

He could still recall all the wonderful and sweet memories they shared in their three years of marriage. He had always believed that they were honest towards each other. But now, he was forced to realize how ridiculous he was. It was merely his one-sided, wishful thinking. If Irene had loved him even just a little, she would not have hidden her true identity.

During their marriage, she had never mentioned her relationship with Steven. After their divorce, she had not contacted Steven either. Why did she return to the Cook family when he got engaged to Lily of all time?

Seeing Irene finally appear at the bus stop, Edric's feelings boiled into a potpourri of emotions. He stared at her in a daze as she passed by his car without even a glance. Strangely, that reminded him of what she had told him in the past, "I have a radar on me. As long as you appear within 500 meters from me, I can sense you immediately."

At the moment, he was no more than two meters away from her, but she could not sense his presence. Edric found himself childish. How could he believe every word she had said?

When she left, he had sworn that he would stop believing in her. However, everything she said seemed to have taken root in his heart. It would ring in his head whenever it was fitting. Perhaps he had stared at Irene for too long, the man who was waiting for the bus spoke to Irene and reminded her of his existence. Then, she turned her head to glance at his car indifferently before looking away. Her complete lack of emotion made him rush out of the car to grab her hand without thinking. "Follow me!" he urged.

"Let go!" Irene struggled. She did not want to get into his car. Ever since he rejected her mercilessly that day, her last touch of affection for him had vanished. From then on, they would only be strangers.
