You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 135

After closing the private room door, Rowane seated herself opposite Marie, who had a very unpleasant look on her face. Rowane asked, "Miss, what do you want from me?" Rowane stared at Marie and bit her lip. The woman in front of her looked somewhat similar to her. For some reason, she had a vague hint of expectation that Marie was her mother.

Meanwhile, Marie looked at Rowane with disgust. Margaret had stated that she wanted Rowane to have children with Edric. In fact, both Rowane and Edric were pretty close. As a result, Marie subconsciously felt uncomfortable when she saw Rowane and spoke in a very unpleasant tone. "I..." Rowane pulled out a pendant from her pocket and put it on the table. "Do you recognize this pendant?"

Marie's expression changed when she saw the pendant. She picked it up and inspected it carefully. "Why do you have this?"

"Is it yours?" Rowane glanced at Marie eagerly.

"Yes!" Marie picked up the pendant. "It's a family heirloom of mine. My mother left it to me, but I accidentally lost it. Why do you have it?"

"It was given to my foster parents by the orphanage director. She said that the pendant was given to her for safekeeping by the person who sent me to the orphanage. She also mentioned that it belonged to my mother and that if I found the owner of this pendant, I could find my mother... I've been searching for her for years... Mom! I finally found you!" Tears rolled down from Rowane's eyes as she sobbed uncontrollably.

Marie looked at Rowane in astonishment. At that moment, she had a flashback to a scene in the dead of winter. A woman in a thick cotton coat handed a newborn baby to a thin man. "Take this sinful child away immediately! Send it as far away as possible!"

As ordered, the man reached for the baby and vanished into the cold winter. That very night, her pendant disappeared as well. Marie had always thought she lost it by accident, but to her surprise, it had been taken away! Upon realization, she was fuming with rage. How dared that wretched man stirred up such a massive mess for her! What should she do now?

While Rowane was still crying, Marie's mind had already gone through several turns. A huge fuss now laid before her. Should she accept Rowane as a daughter?

Looking at Rowane's current reaction, Marie knew that she would be persistently searching for the truth if Marie denied it. After all, the truth would always prevail. It would be bad if she accidentally exposed what happened back then.

But deep down, she did not want to admit it. As Marie gazed at Rowane's exquisite features and recalled her relationship with Edric, she was sure that Rowane must've done some research before coming to her. Gritting her teeth, Marie had made her decision. She had no choice but to accept Rowane. In any case, maybe Rowane could be of help later.

Marie, however, did not share her thoughts. To her, Rowane was destined to be a nuisance. To avoid further chaos, she must find a way to deal with this matter. The two hugged each other as they cried, and both were lost in their own thoughts. Meanwhile, Irene was having dinner with Kinsey when she received a call from Edric. Upon hearing what she was doing, he bombarded her with a series of questions, hoping to know every single detail of hers. Babbling like an old lady, he did not realize that Irene was so annoyed by
