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

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

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

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

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
