You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 150

"Edric, can you use that little brain of yours and think?" Irene asked. "What rights do you have to make such a decision?" "Because I am Eden's biological father!" Edric answered, nearly as loud as a bellow.

"Father? How dare you say that? Don't you remember that you were the one who kicked me out of the house that year? From the moment you divorced me and left me, Eden and I have severed all our ties with you!" Irene retorted.

"Irene, I've already explained what happened that year to you. It was never my intention to leave you!" Edric yelled. He clenched his fists, the veins on his forearms visible. For him, what happened those years left nothing but pain. He hadn't felt a moment of ease since what happened then.

"Yes, you have your own reasons and excuses, but so what? Does it mean that I should forgive you? Does the law pardon a murderer if he has a valid reason to commit that crime?" Irene questioned, no longer controlling her emotions.

"Irene, I know I'm wrong. I'm willing to change. I'm willing to spend the rest of my life to pay for my sins, okay?" Edric muttered.

"No!" Irene roared. "Edric, not all mistakes can be forgiven!"

"Don't you force me anymore!" Edric glared at Irene and added, "I've said that I won't let my children call another man their father!"

"Father? Besides bringing Eden into this world, what else have you done for Eden? Mr. Myers, ask yourself, do you really deserve to be his father?" Nathan reminded Edric.

"I will make up for it! I will make up for it as much as I could!" Edric repeated.

"But Eden won't let you do that for him. You are just a stranger and he doesn't care about you making up to him or not!" Irene hissed.

"Irene, it's you who do not care, not Eden. As Eden's mother, what right do you have to stop me meeting my children?" Edric questioned.

"By the fact that you kicked me out of the house and brought your pregnant mistress into our home! By the fact that your mom kicked and punched me when I was already pregnant! By the fact that you divorced me and left me with nothing! I could still remember vividly the day I had fallen from a mountain and broke my leg. Eden and I wandered aimlessly on the street, seeking shelter. When Eden fell sick, I called you but you refused to answer my calls. Edric Myers, I can go on with all the reasons why you do not deserve to be Eden's father. So who do you think you are to come here and question my decisions?" Irene bombarded.

"I..." Edric looked at her at a loss for words. He knew he had taken it too far and had hurt her just too much. Everything Irene mentioned was true, and he knew he would never be able to repay for his cruel deeds.

Seeing that Edric was rendered speechless, Irene took a deep breath to calm herself down. Nathan didn't feel sorry for Edric either as he had witnessed what kind of suffering Irene had gone through all those years.

Britney, who was upstairs, had been paying attention to the conversations downstairs. Noticing that the situation had come to a deadlock, she came out of the room to mediate the dispute. "Irene, it's getting late now. Come and take Eden to bed!" Then, she looked at Edric and said, "Mr. Myers, you can stay here if you like to!"

"Grandma!" Irene and Nathan shouted simultaneously. Obviously, they did not see eye to eye with Britney's decision to invite Edric. Britney waved her hand, signaling Nathan and Irene to calm down. She then ordered the butler to prepare a room for Edric to stay over. The butler stepped forward politely and said, "Mr. Myers, please come with me!"

Grateful to Britney's invitation, Edric thanked her, "Thank you very much, Madam Britney!"

Then we can find a solution together," Britney said and looked at Irene. "We don't wish for things to turn out in this way either. However, he is indeed Eden's biological father. If Edric resorts to lawful means, the consequences will
