Chapter 51

The person in the photo looked exactly the same as Irene. Edric suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes. He studied it carefully and realized that he was right. It was Irene. She dressed plainly and looked eighteen or nineteen years old in the photo. How did Irene's photo end up in Steven's book? Edric also noticed two words -- "my love" -- written on the back of the photo when he was about to put it back in the book. 'My love? How was Irene Steven's lover?' 'How could it be? How could Irene be Steven's lover? Steven was old enough to be Irene's father.' Suddenly, Edric remembered how Steven pulled Irene's hand outside of the teahouse. Did Steven fall in love with Irene? Was that why Steven handed Irene the project? This could also explain why Steven wanted to compensate him with the sports event. He was feeling guilty. While Edric was pondering, Steven had finished his call and turned around to continue to talk to Edric about t

Chapter 53

Jordan and Irene turned around. Wearing a navy suit without a tie, Edric was standing at the entrance with his arms crossed. Edric had been holding grudges against Jordan.He was already gnashing his teeth when he thought about how Jordan used Irene to seduce Steven to win the construction bid. He asked John to keep an eye on the Reed Family. When he heard that Jordan book the restaurant, prepared flowers and balloons, and took Irene there, he knew what this womanizer was trying to do.Irene was his woman. How could he let others covet her? Edric drove here immediately. Jordan was more than annoyed. He booked the entire restaurant which should be closed for business. How did Edric suddenly appear?"I'm sorry, Mr. Reed!" Edric ignored Jordan's expression, strode over, and sat down next to Irene. "I'm particularly fond of this restaurant and came here for dinner. I was surprised that it was not open, but I still came in since I heard its you who reserved it. We ar

Chapter 54

Edric was upset when he learned that Nathan was back. He couldn't focus on work all day. "She must be with Nathan at this moment, right?" "What are they doing now? Watching a movie, eating, or having sex like any ordinary couple?" He couldn't stand those thoughts and grabbed his coat and rushed out of the company. He drove aimlessly and somehow got to Irene's old neighborhood. There was a car accident ahead, and the road was jammed. Edric sat in the car, waiting for the road to be cleared, irritated and impatient. "I wouldn't take you here if I knew this. So many cars and people..." Edric heard a familiar voice. He looked over and saw Irene. She was not alone. Nathan, all dashing and handsome, was standing beside her. Nathan was holding a child in his arms. Edric couldn't see the kid's face since he was facing him with his back. Irene kissed the boy on his cheek. He knew very well how much she wanted a child. His heart suddenly tightened and he stared

Chapter 52

Eden was sleeping soundly beside her and even snored. But Irene couldn't fall asleep. Although she tried hard to stop herself from thinking about it, her humiliating past still haunted her. She was under great pressure when she was with Edric. Handsome and rich, how could he fall in love with a Cinderella like her? She resisted him at first by instinct, but then she was slowly moved by his love and affection and fell for him as well. She knew that Margaret didn't like her. Margaret had a long face the first time she met Irene. She sized her up and down with a disdainful look and asked her in an arrogant voice, "How old are you? What do your parents do?" Irene could easily tell how dissatisfied Margaret was from her expression and tone. She glanced at Edric, suppressed the grievance in her heart, and tried her best to talk to her politely. Margaret was even more displeased when she heard that Irene's mother had passed away. "How could that be? Is it be

Edric went back to his car in long strides. He leaned back in the seat and realized how ridiculous he had been. He gave her his heart, yet she never cared about him at all. He had a miserable time after she left, yet she lived a relaxed and comfortable life. She had both Nathan and Jordan. Edric felt bitter at the thought of the men following her around. Could he let her go like this? It was not worth wasting his time for a heartless woman. But he was not resigned. He kept hearing her sweet voice in his head, "To hold your hand and grow old together!" He thought to himself, "Irene, you promised me that. Don't think you can go back on your words!" Edric pondered for a while and called John, "Ask someone to tell Madam White that her precious grandson is hanging out with my woman in San Fetillo. Ask her what she wants to do about this." "I'll do it right away!" John answered immediately. "One more thing, tell Chuck White that his future son-in-law has been peste

Chapter 56

John's report to Edric that Old Mrs. White had said that she would find a way to get Nathan back put Edric in a very good mood. He met with a couple of clients in the afternoon, had dinner outside, and sang karaoke before going back home. His cell phone rang on his way home. Edric picked up and heard a strange female voice, "Is this Mr. Myers?" "Who is it?" Edric asked. "I am Lily's friend. We're hanging out tonight, and Lily drank a little too much. Can you come to pick her up?" Freya said in a coquettish voice. Edric was surprised to hear that the gentle and well-behaved Lily would be drunk. He snorted and agreed. After hanging up the phone, Freya made an OK gesture to Lily who was sitting on the sofa and worrying that Edric would not come. Lily was elated to know Edric was coming soon. She grabbed the liquor on the table and took a shot. Freya poured another glass for her. "One more shot. It can boost your courage. I'll wait for your good news tonight." Li

Chapter 57

Hearing John's words, Edric opened his eyes and saw Irene and Eden. Why would Nathan leave the child behind? Was he not this kid's father? Edric suddenly remembered that Irene claimed to be a single mom on the dating show. His temples throbbed. He ordered John, "Drive over to take a look!" Irene put Eden on the seat and ordered a six-inch pizza for him. Then, she got two cups of juice and a plate of snacks. Eden happily buried his head in the food. Irene smiled and watched him wolfing down the food. "Slow down, take a sip of the juice. Be careful not to choke!" "Mom, eat this!" Eden took a bite of the pizza. Seeing that Irene didn't eat, he handed his slice to her. "I'm not eating. I just want to watch you eat!" "I want you to eat with me!" Eden insisted. Irene had no choice but to take a small bite. Eden took another bite, his little face full of smiles. "Is it delicious?" "Delicious!" Edric walked in and went straight to a seat next to Irene

Chapter 58

Jordan and Edric greeted each other friendly. They were both experienced businessmen. No one else could tell that they just had a fight not long ago. Irene was irritated by their fake smiles and polite chat. Lily had always ignored Irene in front of other people. She only called her "sister" when there was no one around. Therefore, she only nodded politely when she saw Jordan and Irene coming. Irene, on the other hand, remained a deadpan face and didn't acknowledge Lily at all. The guests at the party were all prominent and wealthy. Irene was only an assistant with a pretty face. Naturally, she became the object of ridicule. "Isn't she the divorced woman on TV?" A rich lady remembered that Irene was on a blind date program. "Yes. Exactly! Mr. Reed even went on that show for her." "Yes, she turned him down at that time. I remember it clearly." "Then why is she with Mr. Reed now? I thought that she left with another average-looking man?" "Plenty of peop

Lily took the slap without dodging. A bright red weal sprang up on her fair cheek. A woman happened to come to the restroom and saw Irene slapped Lily. Lily was the daughter of the Secretary and Edric's girlfriend. Irene was just a nobody. How dare she slapped the Secretary's daughter? The woman shouted out immediately. Lily began to cover her face and cry when she saw the audience. Someone spread the news to the party right away. Edric heard the commotion. He put out the cigarette and came back from the garden. A group of people were gathering in the hallway. He immediately saw Irene surrounded in the middle. He strove over, his heart tightened. Lily threw herself into Edric's arms as if he was her savior. She cried even more pitifully Edric helped her stand straight and asked, "What happened?" Lily only cried and didn't answer. The woman who watched the scene replied, "I don't know what happened either. I came to the bathroom and saw this woman cursed and slapped Miss Cook

Chapter 60

Edric had been here countless times in the past three years. Thomas had a very regular life and would definitely return home before 8 pm. Today was an exception. Edric looked at his watch. It was ten o'clock in the evening already. The window was still dark. Did something happen? Edric waited downstairs for a while longer yet still didn't see Irene or Thomas. A middle-aged woman living in the same building happened to be back. She had seen Edric staring at the window many times. If it weren't for his stately manner and expensive clothes, she might think he was a lunatic. It was just a shabby building. What was there to look at? Edric pointed at Irene's window and asked the woman, "Auntie, do you know where this family went?" The woman gave Edric a strange look. "Are you a friend or a relative?" "Relative, a distant relative," he answered. "A distant relative?" The woman looked suspicious. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "They have moved away." "Moved
