You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 132

Edric had always felt very guilty towards Lily. As a matter of fact, he felt that Margaret was the one responsible for putting Lily in such a state. Lily had such a bright future ahead of her but she was sucked into this whole predicament.

After finding out that Steven and Deborah were behind all these, he felt even more sorry for Lily. His guilt towards Lily reached its peak after Marie told him about Lily and her infertility. Edric then decided to get engaged with Lily although his choice would put Irene in misery. For starters, he felt indebted to Lily. Though he didn't love her one bit, Lily had always seemed kind and gentle. He never expected Lily would do such a thing to Irene.

He was not a fool. He knew that Freya was the mastermind behind all this. Edric lamented himself for making such a huge mistake.

Because of whatever things he did to Irene, he had to end the relationship with Lily.

Edric didn't completely blame Lily. He was still Lily's fiance after all and it was a fact that he cheated on her with Irene. He had indeed failed Lily. Putting himself in Lily's shoes, he was surely guilty.

However, Irene was innocent. She should not have suffered such pain and humiliation. Edric was ready to come clean with Margaret so Irene could forgive both of them.

He wanted everyone to know that Irene wasn't supposed to be blamed for any of this. Firstly, he'd have to break up with Lily. But he never expected that the matter would blow up to such a scale even before John could carry out his order. Lily was completely decimated in this process. Hence, Edric finally decided to sever ties with Lily and go back to Irene.

Now Irene had promised to give him another chance. Edric was going to make it clear to Lily that he would do everything he could to cure her. He would do everything he could to do right by her, but they should share no relationship whatsoever.

But Lily refused his request to meet, saying that she had to take care of Steven.

It was true that Steven had just fallen ill. Edric didn't want to push her too hard either; thus, he hung up the phone. Seeing that there was nothing to eat at home, he drove to a nearby supermarket.

Irene didn't wake up till the next day. As a matter of fact, she was woken up by her rumbling belly. When she opened her eyes, she found that it was already noon. There was no trace of Edric on the bed. She struggled to get up from the bed and went downstairs. The breakfast made by Edric was still on the table. Irene wolfed down the food and went upstairs to take a bath.

When she came back after taking a shower and changed her clothes, Edric had just returned from the supermarket. "Are you hungry? I'll whip something up in a jiffy."
