You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 148

They drove back to the White family. When they entered the mansion, they saw Britney and Joanne sitting in the living room. Irene instantly felt a little awkward. In fact, she did not expect Nathan to bring her to the White family directly. "Hello, Madam Britney, Miss White," Irene greeted them and glanced at Nathan rigidly.

Britney stood up and sized Irene up. With a faint smile, she said, "Eden, come here and let me have a look at you."

Just when Irene thought she would be nagged by Britney for meeting Nathan, Britney bent down and waved to Eden.

"Nice meeting you, Grandma!" Eden called as he ran over happily.

Joanne stood up and smiled, "Nathan, Grandma said that we have to wait for you all to come back and have dinner together. I'm famished!" Joanne giggled as she walked towards the dining table. After the meal, Britney brought Irene to her room.

She took out a glass box and Irene opened it slowly. There was a fine-quality emerald ring in it.

"What's this?" Irene looked at Britney in confusion.

Britney looked at the ring and said seriously, "This is an heirloom of our family. It's a priceless item, and I have to pass it down to my daughter-in-law."

"But... I!" She finally understood what Britney meant. She looked at her in disbelief. She remembered that Britney opposed them being together so firmly at that time. Why did she change her mind now?

Britney nodded and said, "Eden is a good boy. I hope that he can have a complete family and be happy. Previously, it was us who misunderstood you. Now that I have thought it through, it doesn't matter who my granddaughter-in-law is. What matters is that Eden is happy."

Irene was rendered speechless. She remembered the pain she had endured in the past. After all these hassles and hardships, she was now a divorced woman with two children.

Nathan was so perfect. Would she ever match him?

"I'm sorry, Grandma. I'm pregnant with someone else's child," Irene confessed. She did not know what to say except to be honest with Britney.

Britney was dumbstruck for a moment before she understood what Irene meant at once. She sighed deeply and said, "I understand what you have experienced over the years. I was at fault too. If it wasn't for..."

"No, these have nothing to do with you. Therefore, you don't have to do this." Irene handed the glass box back.

A lot more had been said that night. Finally, Irene ended the conversation with Britney by saying that she would consider it.

Walking out of Britney's room, Irene bumped into Nathan at the door. He stood there with a refreshed outlook. Irene felt nervous looking at Nathan, which was a little unusual as she was normally quite composed.

"I'm pregnant, Nathan," she said. This was her first sentence to Nathan when she saw him. She did not know how to refuse him. The man before her eyes was so perfect. She could not tarnish his reputation because of her own selfishness.

Nathan raised his head, his flawless eyes more charming than ever. "You know I never care about it," Nathan replied.

"But I do. I can't bring you such humiliation," she said firmly.
