You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 223

During this period of time, Edric secretly visited Irene and Eden frequently. After a period of contact with Edric, Eden's bitterness towards Edric had reduced. He no longer refused his gifts and had started to talk to him. Edric was pleased with the change in Eden that had

taken place. Apart from working in the company, and dealing with those evil b*stards, his free time was mainly spent with his son and Irene.

Jordan's bitterness towards Edric had decreased as well. However, he was still a little worried when he saw how frequently he visited their home. Judging from Edric's actions, it was obvious that he was planning to reconcile with Irene. If Edric and Irene really were to get back together, what would happen to Nathan then?

Nathan had waited for Irene for so many years, and his heart and feelings had never changed for her. There was no way for Edric to win at the most crucial part.

Jordan was truly worried for Nathan. A few days ago, Nathan had said that he would return to Haverland to see Irene. It had been a few days since then, so why had there been no news? Had something gone wrong again?

Worried, Jordan called Nathan and asked why he had not come back. Nathan sighed on the phone and stammered, "Jordan, I-I'm afraid I won't be going back for the time being!"

"Why?" Jordan was surprised. Nathan had always been open-minded. He was surprised that Nathan would suddenly stammer.

"Something had happened. Ah, I do not have the guts to face Irene anymore!"

Nathan's words shocked Jordan even more, "What on earth happened?"

"It's too embarrassing!" Nathan cried, "And it's very wrong!"

"We've been friends for many years. Why don't you tell me and see if I can help you?"

Nathan sighed heavily, "Jordan, I-1 slept with another woman."

"Huh?!" Jordan couldn't believe his ears. Nathan had always lived a rather pure lifestyle for so many years and there had never been any rumors of him sleeping with another woman. However, since it had already happened, Nathan did not intend to hide it anymore. Thinking about that day it happened, he was still confused. How did Jodie end up sleeping with him?

That day, he had taken Jodie to the mall to do some shopping and then they had gone back to the White family home. Jodie's gentle and demure personality was adored by Britney very much and she had offered Jodie to stay overnight and accompany her. Jodie also liked the grandmother very much, hence she agreed.

The chefs had prepared a variety of dishes. Nathan had been in a good mood since he would be returning to Haverland soon to see Irene so he drank a lot of wine after being persuaded by the others. Later, he had gone
