You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 136

Later that night, Edric came home a little earlier than usual. He had lots of questions to ask Irene but didn't know where to start.

Dania remarried Yohannes. Although Dave was not related to Irene by blood, he was her uncle by lineage regardless. Edric was upset to think how little he knew about Irene, even though they had been married for a good five years.

Edric did inquire Irene about her family before the marriage. She claimed that her parents had passed away and she was left with only one uncle. At that, he did not have the slightest doubt. But even so, he didn't blame Irene for not telling the truth. Back then to him, going back home only meant spending some alone time with Irene. He didn't care what she was thinking. Married with such an incompetent husband, it was no wonder that Irene kept all her thoughts to herself.

Edric dwelled in his own melancholy for a long time. Finally, after dinner, while strolling around the area with Irene, he tentatively began to ask, "Irene, does your mother have any other siblings besides your uncle?"

Irene was stunned. "No, I guess not!"

For as long as she could remember, Irene knew she only had one uncle. During Christmas or Thanksgiving, other children would go back to their grandmother's houses with their respective parents. At the time, she envied this and demanded to know about her grandparent's whereabouts. Myra told her that both her grandparents had passed away. Later, when she went back to San Fertillo to visit the graves, the only grave she saw was only her grandfather's.

Irene once asked Myra where her grandmother's grave was but got no response, and when she saw Myra's slightly angry look, she didn't dare to ask again.

She had never asked about how many siblings Myra had. As far as Irene could remember, she had only one uncle, Thomas. And at that time, Thomas and Myra weren't very close yet.

Although Myra rarely took her to visit Thomas, he had always remembered her. He often sent her good food and bought her gifts for Christmas.

As for Steven, he seemed to dislike Thomas. Steven had never mentioned Thomas at home. Therefore, Irene figured that Myra's bad relationship with Thomas had something to do with Steven.

It wasn't until Myra died in a car accident that

Thomas appeared in Irene's life.

At that time, Thomas handled Myra's funeral alone while Steven was out of town for a meeting. Steven rushed back as soon as he heard the news of her accident, but Thomas had already cremated Myra.

That was the first time Irene saw Thomas get angry. With red eyes, he punched and kicked Steven in the face. She and Thomas did not cross paths much. On the contrary, she was much closer to Steven. But when she saw Thomas beating Steven that day, she didn't feel any hatred towards Thomas at all.

Steven stopped him. She remembered Steven's vicious warning to
