You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 141

For the past few days, all Rowane could think about was Marie. Eventually, she decided not to tell Edric that she knew Marie just as she had been instructed. After finding out that Marie wasn't Rowane's mother, Edric even comforted Rowane and promised to help find her mother.

Rowane felt uneasy about lying to Edric about the entire situation. She was never one to lie and cheat, so hiding something like this made her very uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, Marie came to look for her one day. Marie mentioned that she felt guilty for not being a responsible mother for so many years. Now that Marie was rich, she wanted to do right by Rowane and sponsor her studies abroad. To study abroad was a dream to many; naturally, Rowane was tempted by Marie's offer.

When Marie saw that Rowane's eyes lit up at her proposal, Marie stated that she would arrange for everything right away. Marie told Rowane to resign from her position at Edric's company immediately, but Rowane was a little hesitant.

Admittedly, Rowane harbored feelings for Edric because not only had he helped her when she was in trouble, but also because of how capable he was. A man like him would definitely draw the attention of many women. However, Edric didn't share the same thought as hers. He focused all his attention on Irene. Rowane knew that she agreed to study abroad not because of Marie's attractive offer but because she wanted to forget Edric.

A one-sided love was much too painful for Rowane, and she felt that she could no longer stay by Edric's side. Right now, the only option was for her to leave him and forget about him completely. Before Marie allowed her to declare their relationship, Rowanne had to resign and leave Edric's company. The best way to do this was to go abroad and study there.

Just as Rowane was going to inform Edric about her resignation, she noticed his face that was covered with scratch marks. She didn't even need to think about who the culprit was. Only Irene could have her way like this.

It was an unspoken rule that during fights, one could hurt any body part except for the face. It was clear that Irene's intention was to embarrass Edric. Although this was a matter between both of them, Rowane could feel a sense of resentment against Irene growing inside her chest.

"Irene is so cruel! Edric is willing to do anything for her. Hell, he does not even mind tarnishing his own reputation! What more does this woman want?" Rowanne thought to herself.

In the end, she didn't inform Edric about her resignation. Instead, she went back to her office. On this day, she was frustrated and flustered. When she returned home in the evening, Marie dropped by with a bag of fruits for her.

Once again, she talked about Rowanne furthering her studies abroad before she asked if Rowane had resigned. Rowanne could only shake her head in reply. She mentioned what she witnessed in the office earlier in the day and that it was not a good opportunity to bring her resignation up, lest she make things awkward.
