You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 209

Both Deborah and Lily were taken aback to see Irene and Eden coming home to celebrate Steven's birthday. They exchanged glances and knew what this entailed. Didn't Marie say that Irene would leave San Fetillo soon? However, why did the situation turn out to be the Both the mother and daughter forced a smile as they faced Irene and Eden. Deborah even praised Eden, "Eden has grown up so handsomely! You'll definitely become a handsome man when you're older!"

opposite of what she had said? They knew it was time to have a chat with Marie about what was happening.

Lily hurriedly complemented her mother's actions. Eden asked Irene, "Mom, who are they?"

Irene pointed at Deborah and Lily before explaining, "She is Mrs. Cook, and she is Mrs. Cook's daughter. You may call her Miss Cook."

Eden nodded, "Hello, Mrs. Cook and Miss Cook!"

The way he had greeted both Deborah and her daughter disgusted them. Eden was shocked to see Lily's pregnant belly and asked Irene, "Mom, Miss Cook's tummy is bigger than yours."

"Yeah, that's because Miss Cook is pregnant with twins. So, it's only natural that her belly is bigger than mine," Irene said cheekily.

They initially thought that Irene would take this opportunity to sneer at Lily's pregnancy and become upset and angry. However, Irene was acting the total opposite by behaving unconcernedly. Both Lily and Deborah knew that something was amiss, but they could not spot where the flaw was.

Steven was anxious that Irene would say something nasty upon seeing Lily's pregnancy. However, he heaved a sigh of relief after watching Irene's reaction. He pulled on Eden's hand and said, "Eden and I are going upstairs to see the rooms."

Irene followed behind them as Steven brought Eden upstairs. Deborah and Lily felt rather unpleasant to see Steven and Maisy behaving friendly to Irene and Eden.

Lily whispered to Deborah, "Mom, why is she so unbothered?"

"How would I know?" Deborah was impatient, "Please don't act so rashly tonight. I don't think this matter is that simple. Irene is not a good person to cross paths with either, so we must be careful."

Both Deborah and her daughter felt uneasy the entire time. They were afraid that Irene would suddenly have ill intentions. However, they were mistaken. Dinner was pleasant and friendly, and Irene did not create any trouble. They even chatted during dinner, and she told Lily some pregnancy tips without any hostility.

The more Irene behaved like that, the more the mother-daughter duo felt uncomfortable. Later that evening, Eden and Irene stayed over at the Cook family's house. Eden did not dare to sleep alone, and Irene would not be assured of leaving him alone. Hence, both of them slept in the same bedroom.

Lily went back to her bedroom after watching both Irene and Eden enter their bedroom. After a while, Deborah brought over a glass of milk for her. She closed the door behind her as Lily muttered, "Mom, I honestly feel that Irene was behaving abnormally."

"I feel the same way too. She has never had a good impression of you, but she even shared some good tips with you. If she behaved snappy towards us, I would be more at ease. The more she behaves like this, the more anxious I feel. I'm worried that she might do something to your baby since she has come over out of the blue."

"Will she really do anything?" Lily was taken aback.
