You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 146

Jordan followed Irene's gaze to look over and saw Edric and Rowane too. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Edric was trying to own more than one woman, wasn't he? He wanted to get back with Irene while he was still enamored of his little lover! However, Edric must have not expected that they would bump into each other this evening. What a coincidence! Jordan took a glance at Irene and found that Irene's countenance fell in an instant. She put down the fork and spoon in her hand and said, "I'm full!"

"I'm full too. Let's go!" Jordan left with Irene thoughtfully. Along the way, Irene kept a gloomy face. Although she was silent, Jordan knew that she had already made up her mind about Edric. Jordan estimated that it would be curtains for Edric this time. Rowane said that she would leave the day after the next day. Hence, she invited Edric out for dinner to express her gratitude for his care over the years. The most crucial reason for Edric to accept Rowane into his company was that her life story had a resemblance with Irene's. Not only her background but also her appearance was somewhat similar to Irene's. In the past days, when he was all alone and lost, Rowane was his source of comforts.

Rowane was a decent girl. She was very sensible and had never caused him any trouble. Now that she was going to study abroad, he would definitely not stop her.

Rowane had never drunk before; she claimed that she was allergic to alcohol. However, she took the initiative to ask for wine on that day. She poured a glass of wine and said, "Edric, cheers!"

Edric picked up his glass and replied, "Have a safe trip!"

After drinking a glass of wine, Rowane poured another glass of wine for him, saying, "Edric, I know you have gastritis, so I won't ask you to drink more. You just have to drink three glasses of wine today." Edric nodded. "Okay, three glasses it is!"

Rowane picked up her glass again. "Edric, it's all because of you that I, Rowane Wood, have such an achievement today. You are the benefactor in my life. I have nothing to repay you. In the next life, I will do anything for you to return your kindness!" "Why do you say that all of a sudden?" Edric was stunned.

"I'm just happy and excited," Rowane answered as she poured another glass of wine for Edric again. They clinked their drinks, and she continued, "I wish you a blissful life, Edric."

"I love to hear that." Edric smiled and drank it up. "I'll marry Irene soon, and I'll definitely live a happy life in the future."

Rowane poured the third glass of wine for him again. "I'm a young and ignorant girl at times. If I have offended you in any way, please do forgive me!"

Edric drank the third glass of wine readily. They realized that the night was still early after they had dinner. Edric certainly couldn't drive after drinking. Hence, he hired a designated driver. Edric ordered the driver to send Rowane home first before sending him home. However, he didn't expect to see Lily on the way.

Lily's car had broken down and she was standing at the roadside anxiously. Edric didn't want to bother her initially, but Rowane reminded him, "Edric, isn't that Miss Cook? She seems to be in trouble, isn't she? Let's go and have a look."

Hearing that, Edric could no longer pretend that he didn't see Lily. Hence, he asked the driver to stop the car. "What happened?" Edric asked Lily.

"Edric, my car is broken," Lily replied pitifully.

"Have you called the workshop?" Edric asked again.

"Yes," Lily responded. While they were speaking, someone came to tow the car. Rowane invited Lily to get in the vehicle enthusiastically, "Miss Cook, get in the car. It's cold out there!"
