You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 188

Not only was Irene surprised that Margaret came to apologize, but Thomas was too. Margaret used to be arrogant and had always acted like a snob. Why did she suddenly put down her ego and apologize?

Irene had broken Margaret's leg. At that time, Margaret hated Irene so much that she had even sued her for assault and sent her to prison. However, now, why was she so kind and willing to accept her again and she even felt regretful for what she did? It was just unbelievable.

After Margaret left, Thomas and Irene talked about it. Thomas felt that Margaret's changing of her mind was strange. She must have had other motives and Irene should be wary of her.

Irene also agreed and felt that Margaret was acting abnormal. She could not believe her words. While they were talking, Edric entered in a hurry. As he came through the door, he asked, "Irene, did my mother come to apologize just now?" Irene nodded, "Yes, Uncle Thomas and I were just talking about this matter. Why did your mother suddenly change her mind?"

"She saw Lily and Deborah's true colors, so she feels very regretful. She said that it was her fault in the past, but now, she will no longer stop us from being together." Edric told Irene, "Irene, in the past, you've been worried that my mother would stop us, but now she has changed her mind. For the sake of our child, let's get back together."

She had clearly seen Edric's sincerity during this period of time, but she was terrified of Margaret. She had a child and could not bear to be tortured anymore. They should not rush into things especially regarding that matter. As Irene was about to speak, Thomas spoke first, "Edric, your mother changes her mind all the time. You can't just believe what she said. Irene can't bear to be tortured. Let's talk about this after Eden recovers from his illness."

"Irene!" Edric looked at Irene and said with a pleading voice. Irene smiled faintly and said, "Edric, Uncle Thomas is right. Eden is still sick, so let's talk about this later."

Edric went home in disappointment. Margaret saw her son, who had gone out happily, coming back with a gloomy face. She knew that Irene must have rejected him.

She comforted her son, "It's all my fault. It's my fault that Irene's heart has gone cold. Don't worry. From now on, I'll take the initiative to care for her and the child. All humans are soft at heart. Take it slow. I'm sure she'll change her mind after some time." Edric had no choice but to say, "Mom, you should be more concerned about Irene in the future. If she treats you coldly, just try to tolerate her. For the sake of your grandson, can you?"

"Okay, I'll definitely tolerate her," Margaret promised.

Loraine had been secretly paying attention to the conversation between Edric and Margaret. She immediately told Deborah about the conversation between them. Deborah was elated to hear that Irene did not acknowledge Margaret's kindness.

There was no doubt that Marie was indeed smarter than her. She knew that the feud between Margaret and Irene would not be easily resolved. This was great news for them. It seemed that they had to hurry up and proceed with the plan. She had already figured the plan out and explained it to Loraine.

During that period of time, Loraine had been scolded by Margaret many times. Seeing that Margaret was starting to alienate her, Loraine hated Margaret so badly and eventually agreed to Deborah's plan.

Deborah asked her to pay more attention to Margaret and Irene's current situation. She should be alert of everything, whether it was something significant or insignificant and find their weaknesses as it would aid them in their plan. Loraine then promised to do it. Although the police wanted to arrest Dunn, Edric knew that this matter would not have much progress so soon. Recently, the police had become less efficient. Dunn's crime was not considered as a big criminal case, and his case was nothing new in the international criminal police organization. They would not be able to close the case any time soon.

He had to find another way to catch Dunn. Then, Edric thought of Jordan. The Reed family had connections with the police and also gangsters in countries abroad. It would be much more effective to ask them for help instead of relying on the police.
