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

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

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

Irene turned around noticing that he was no longer beside him. Although she had been trying to hide the fact that she was nervous, her clothes drenched in sweat had already betrayed her. It was really unfair to Jeremy. However, Irene had no choice other than to make him the scapegoat. Edric had already come crashing and demanding an explanation. The thing with Jeremy was the only leverage she had.Back then, there was already a marriage in the works between Jeremy and her. All of the neighbors had already assumed that she was Jeremy's fiancee and the child belonged to him too. Even if Edric began investigating the matter, he wouldn't find anything otherwise.Edric immediately instructed John to verify everything Irene said. And the result he got was indeed in line with Irene's statement. She was going to get married to Jeremy, and the only thing that stopped them was Jeremy's heroic death He also heard that Eden's birth certificate was also derived from the Field famil

Edric never even expected that she would stay in San Fetillo and bore a child for a peasant. If he hadn't forced her back then, maybe she would not resort to that too? She couldn't get pregnant after three years with him but she got a baby so quickly after leaving him. It was a huge slap to Edric's face. Edric knew that one of the reasons for infertility was stress and it was probably because of Margaret. Edric really regretted not moving out with Irene earlier. If he had just been more resolute and strong-minded, everything would surely turn out better. They might even have a child together. As long as they had a child, Margaret would stop pestering Irene. But it was too late now. It was his indecisiveness that made all this mess. Edric didn't want to go home. He went to the bar alone and started drinking. His phone kept ringing but he didn't bother to look at it. He downed a lot of wine and finally went home after calling a driver over to the bar.

These words made Deborah feel a little relieved. It had been so many years since they set up Irene to undergo the sterilization procedure secretly. Besides, the doctor who operated on Irene had already passed away in a car accident. Even if they were to investigate this matter, it would be a medical malpractice at most. She and Lily would never be exposed.However, what they were going to face now was not this problem. If Edric knew that Irene could conceive, things would be in chaos! Seeing that Deborah's expression turned dark, Lily could not help feeling agitated as she muttered to herself, "How could this happen? Mom, what should we do now? What should I do if the child is Edric's?" Deborah had no time to comfort Lily. She knew that things had already gotten out of hand, but it was not the time for them to panic. She had to think of a way. Deborah was different from Lily.After all, she had experienced a lot in life. She quickly recomposed themselves. At present, w

Seeing Margaret's sudden appearance at the hospital, Marie stood up with a smile. "How did such a busy person like you find the time to come over today?""I have something I need to discuss with you!" Margaret's expression was clearly written with displeasure. Marie immediately asked the patient to be excused. After the patient left the room, she closed the door. Margaret flounced herself onto the chair. "I'm here to ask you one thing. Is Irene really not able to have children?"Fortunately, Deborah had already informed Marie about the situation beforehand. Otherwise, she would have been caught off guard by Margaret's sudden visit. She grabbed Margaret's wrist and asked, "What happened?""Irene has a child now. But didn't you tell me previously that she couldn't get pregnant?" Margaret questioned. "Irene has a child? Are you sure?" Since Marie had heard all this from Deborah, she had already thought of a way to deal with it. With a surprised look on her face, sh

Margaret and Lily were upset, but it was the same for Edric too. Ever since he learned that Irene had remarried and had a child, he was never in peace. He always thought that Irene's appearance on the dating show was just to make up the numbers.It turned out that she really wanted to find a father for Eden. That was why she chose someone like Bert.
