You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 113

Marie invited Margaret out for dinner that night. During the dinner, Marie asked about Edric and Lily, "When will Edric and Lily get married?"

"Don't mention it!" Margaret sighed. "I'm afraid there will be some changes in this matter."

"Changes?" Marie's heart sank. "You adore Lily the most, don't you?"

Margaret put down the fork and told Marie about what happened to Irene. She concluded, "Since Irene knows that she is Steven's daughter, why doesn't she admit her identity? Yet after seeing Lily and Edric got engaged, she came back and even moved into the Cook family. What do you think she's up to?"

"What else can it be? Of course, she wants to make Edric and Lily feel pent up!" Marie answered.

"The person who feels pent up now it's me!" Margaret whined. Since she took Marie as a friend, she didn't hide anything from Marie. "I used to like Lily, but now I really feel uncomfortable when I see her. You know that I hate paramours the most, but I've actually selected Lily for my son. It's really exasperated just by thinking about it."

Hearing this, Marie put on a long face, but Margaret didn't notice it. "Deborah pretended to be Steven's only wife when she was obviously only a mistress. Isn't Deborah treating me and the others as fools? She even said that she had no news about Irene at all after Irene was taken away. The more I think about it, the more uneasy I feel these days. Irene's mother passed away when she was in her teenage years. Lily is only a few months younger than Irene, and Deborah must have some memories of Irene. So how can she not know Irene?" Margaret questioned.

"Perhaps they have looked completely different," Marie analyzed.

"Even if it's true, there shouldn't be a big difference. I suspect that Lily knew Irene's identity at that time, but she still fought for Edric. Isn't this the same thing as Deborah did?" Margaret questioned again.

Margaret remembered the disgusted look on Irene's face when she saw Lily before. At that time, she always thought that Irene was narrow-minded, but now she had finally seen the light.

It was not because Irene and Lily were born to be hostile to each other, but because Lily was Deborah's daughter. How could Irene, the daughter of Steven's wife, be intimate with Lily, who was but a mistress' daughter?

"Deborah indeed went too far, but you couldn't judge Lily in this way because of Deborah. I think Lily is kind and virtuous, and she is definitely not the kind of person you said," Marie defended Lily.

"Well, she indeed doesn't look like it, which is why I'm so annoyed now." Margaret sighed.

Margaret continued, "I must have made a grave mistake. If I hadn't looked down on Irene, I wouldn't have caused so many troubles. You're right. I've thought a lot over these two days. Irene wasn't infertile. She couldn't have been pregnant at that time because I'd given her too much pressure. If I hadn't treated her like that, she might have had a child with Edric long ago. The most important thing was that Irene wouldn't have been so against me if Édric was happy."

Margeret was a person who couldn't hold back her emotions. Hence, she told Marie about the sports tournament too. Although Edric stated that the governor of the state had instructed all who participated in the bids to compete fairly, Margaret didn't believe it at all. She thought it was Irene who had talked into Steven not to help them. Since Steven couldn't reject Irene and it was hard to explain to Margaret, Edric put up this show on purpose.

"If Steven is going to be caught in such a tight spot in the future, there's really no need for them to get married," Margaret said.

After parting with Margaret, Marie drove home. On the way, she received a phone call from Deborah. "How did it go?" Deborah asked. "Margaret is not as enthusiastic anymore now." Marie replied, "She said that she didn't want Edric to marry a mistress' daughter."

"That old b*tch, she is just a snob. What rights does she have to pretend to be high and mighty?" Deborah was vexed.
