You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 104

Thus far, Edric had always thought that Jordan was the one scheming against him. Never would he even dream that it would actually be Irene. What did Irene plan to do? Why did she hire someone to seduce him and record a video of it? He was very angry and disappointed with Irene.

Edric guessed that Irene did this to take revenge on Lily. If that was the case, then she should not blame him for plotting against her too.

Well, he thought that he was merely giving Irene a taste of her own medicine. Little did he realize he was actually enjoying this moment with her. In these four years they parted ways, he had never touched another woman. Therefore, when he managed to have such intimate contact with her again, all his desires went haywire in an instant.

Afterward, he held her in his arms while the faint fragrance of her body perfumed his nostrils, her delicate body felt as soft as silk in his embrace. His heart could barely stop drumming in his chest.

During that period of time, he had seen her and Jordan being together countless times; it drove him crazy, but he could not do anything about it. Now that she had gotten under his skin, she should not blame him for whatever he would do next. This was the only opportunity he could seize at the moment.

Didn't she want to be with Jordan? Since Edric could not change her mind, he did not mind using any means as long as he could keep her with him. Even if she hated him, he would not let her go!

The drizzle of rain outside formed an orchestra of music, keeping Lily awake. It was already midnight at this hour. She had been greatly embarrassed that night. However, Edric did not come to her rescue and save her from the humiliation. He did not escort her back, too. Instead, he sent her away with a driver. She felt dejected, but she could not do anything about it.

When she got home, she took a bath and changed her clothes. She laid on her bed and listened to the sound of the rain falling. This evening, Irene was at the party too. Lily felt something amiss when she saw Edric's gaze on Irene. She knew very well how she had gotten together with Edric. Her uneasiness was making her insomnia worse as Irene had not returned home yet.

Lily tossed and turned on the bed. Soon, it was already three o'clock in the morning. Why hadn't Irene returned home? Lily felt even more restless. She called Loraine, "Has Edric returned home?"

Loraine was groggy from sleep. "I'll go and have a look."

A few minutes later, she replied, "I did not see Edric's car."

It was impossible for the party to last until three o'clock in the morning. Where was Edric? Lily's heart skipped a beat when she thought about Irene who had not returned home either.

Were Edric and Irene spending a night together? As this thought flashed through her mind, Lily immediately got up from the bed. Right then, she heard the sound of a car from outside. She opened the curtain and saw a black car turning around and leaving. The rain was so heavy that she could not see the license plate and the driver clearly. She had a gut feeling that the car was very familiar.

Lily remembered that Edric seemed to have such a car. Again, her heart went into arrhythmia. "Could it be possible that the person who sent Irene home was Edric?"

Loraine had claimed that Edric had not returned home. With this fact in mind, Lily was absolutely sure that the person who sent Irene home was Edric!

Edric had not shown any concern or asked any questions about Lily's feelings after the incident at the party. Lily's heart was in turmoil. She just stood by the window, clasping the curtain tightly in her hand. Her long vampish fingernails sliced through her palm, but she did not feel the pain at all.

It was very late when Irene returned home, so it was almost noon when she woke up. She went downstairs and saw Lily sitting in the living room.

Lily's expression was rather strange. Although Lily's eyes were fixed on her, Irene chose to ignore it and went straight into the dining area. "Is there anything to eat? I'm starving!"
