You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 173

Chapter 173

Ever since he was young, Eden had always longed for his father. It didn't occur to him that his father would have left him and his mother to get engaged to some other woman. In Eden's young mind, Edric was already dead to him. Eadric was a big liar, and Eden hated

him!

"Don't scold your father like that. Eden, he had no choice back then."

"What do you mean he had no choice?" Eden asked.

"It means he had a reason to do so." Irene explained. "There's a reason for your father's engagement with that woman."

"Wasn't it because he wanted to marry another woman?" The scene of Edric and Lily's engagement announcement was deeply embedded in Eden's mind.

"No, he didn't want to get engaged to another woman. That was just for show."

"But I saw it all. Mom, don't lie to me."

"I'm not lying to you. That woman fell ill. So, he got engaged to her to take care of her."

Irene couldn't find a reason to absolve Edric of his own actions. She remembered that Edric once told her he had gotten engaged to Lily because she was infertile. So, an idea popped into her head to use it as a justification to tell Eden.

"Why didn't dad take care of me and you? Why did he take care of someone else?" Eden asked.

"Because he felt guilty towards her and he owed her." Irene continued to explain, "And it's not that your father doesn't love you. At the time, he didn't know you existed."

"Why didn't he know about my existence?"

"Because when I was carrying you in my belly, I didn't tell him."

"Was it because he made you unhappy, and that's why you didn't tell him?"

Irene nodded. "He had broken my heart back then so I never told him I was pregnant with you. You were born after your father and I separated. So, your father never knew that you were his son."

Eden felt a little better after listening to Irene's explanation, but he was still unhappy. "Dad is a bad guy. He still hurt you, so I still can't forgive him."

"As a matter of fact, your dad is not to blame. These are just adults' matters. You'll understand when you grow up. Now, you just need to remember that your dad and I both love you."
