You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 108

After some thought, Britney decided to invite Irene out to meet at a cafe. Irene had arrived twenty minutes earlier. Meanwhile, Britney was very punctual; she arrived right on the dot.

This was the first time Britney was meeting Irene again after nine years. Irene's appearance was still the same as that of nine years ago, as beautiful as always. Her beauty attracted the attention of all the customers in the cafe. Britney walked over and sat opposite Irene. Irene smiled politely at Britney and asked, "What do you fancy?"

"Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee!" Britney replied.

The waiter quickly brought over the coffee. After stirring the coffee with a spoon for a long time, Britney stopped and said to Irene, "You are much thinner than before."

Irene smiled faintly and did not speak.

Britney didn't mind Irene's silence. She sighed softly and added, "Time flies! In a blink of an eye, it's been nine years!"

Irene understood what Britney meant. She still remembered what they talked about when they last met in a cafe. She said, "Don't worry, Britney. I have always remembered what you said to me. I won't cross the line."

Her answer made Britney's face flash with embarrassment. At that time, she wasn't polite to Irene at all. Each word of her was laced with ruthlessness. She picked up her cup of coffee and took a sip, trying to hide her awkwardness. "I've also heard about your son's illness. Such a young child, so smart and cute too. What a pity."

"Yes, God really is cruel!" Irene answered lightly; her face was expressionless.

"Irene, I want to ask you something." Britney had no choice but to cut to the chase. "Can you leave Nathan? I mean, I know your child needs treatment and I can offer my help. As long as you don't show up in front of Nathan anymore."

Irene knew that Nathan was the only reason that Britney would come looking for her. If it was in the past, she would have agreed to leave Nathan without hesitation. But now, Eden was her priority. Nathan had said that the doctor he found was treating Eden very effectively. How could she leave at a time like this?

"Irene, I know it's not a good time for you, but I have no choice. As his grandmother, I am worried about his future and happiness. I don't want to see him be lonely for the rest of his life."

Seeing that Irene was silent, Britney pondered over her words, picking them carefully. "Nathan has always had you in his heart. Because of you, he has been single for nine years. How much more time does he have? Are you okay with watching him grow old alone?" "I never thought of letting Nathan grow old alone. Nathan is the best person I have ever met in my life. I regard him as a friend, a confidant, and an elder brother. I wish for his happiness just as much as you do," Irene answered.
