You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 129

"Whoa, that's amusing! The baby must be from the Storks!" Irene sneered.

"Is sexual intercourse the only way that a child can be conceived?" Edric retorted. "There are many ways to get pregnant."

"Do you mean artificial insemination?" Irene looked at Edric in surprise.

Edric nodded and said, "Yes, and it's not even my sperm!"

Irene's eyes widened. "How is this possible?"

"At that time, my mother forced me to divorce you. I had no choice. I wanted to give her a grandson for the sake of my family. I asked John to get sperm from a sperm bank."

"Impossible!" Irene did not believe it at all. "Are you lying? Edric, do you think that there's no way for me to investigate all this, and that's why you lied?"

"I didn't. Irene, I have never touched Lily. At that time, I had no choice but to divorce you. My mother threatened me with her life. You know that! Thus, I forced you to sign that contract. I thought you would not sign it, but you left the city without even a warning..." Irene found it rather unbelievable. After staring at Edric for a while, she shook her head. "Edric, don't lie to me. I don't believe it. I will never trust you!"

How could she believe it? Edric, who she had thought to be cheating on her for many years, was now telling her that he had never been involved in an affair. Everything was but a misunderstanding.

"You must be playing another trick, Edric, aren't you? I know I can't defeat you, and I raised my white flag. I am your secret lover now. You can do whatever you want. There is no need to make up a story and lie to me!" Irene screamed.

"Irene, I'm telling the truth. I didn't say these to make you believe me. Time will tell, and you can watch my performance from now on," said Edric genuinely.

"If you really have nothing to do with Lily, why did you get engaged to her? Why did you turn me away when I called to reconcile with you?" questioned Irene.
