Revenge Against My Ex-husband

Chapter 55 So Many Admirers

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 pestering a divorced Executive

Assistant all day long. It's quite inappropriate and the gossip is spreading around San Fetillo." John

answered again. He thought to himself, "Who said that only women can be jealous? Men can be

worse. Mr. Myers is going to separate them once for all!"

Edric rubbed his eyebrows after the call. He finally vented his anger a little bit. He didn't believe that

Madam White would be indifferent if she heard that his baby grandson was with Irene.

Back then, Madam White wouldn't let Nathan have anything to do with Irene even when she was

single. She would only object more now that Irene was a divorced woman. Nathan would disappear

from San Fetillo as soon as Madam White stepped in.

As for Jordan, Edric believed that the Reed Family would take action once Chuck gave Jordan's

grandfather a call. Thinking of this, Edric cheered up again.

Irene and Nathan left the river with Eden. People stared at their muddy faces with a strange look when

they were trying to get a cab on the side of the road. They didn't pay attention to the stare and went

home by taxi.

Thomas was very surprised to see them back. "I didn't go grocery shopping because I thought you're

not coming back for lunch. I can go to buy some prepared food now."

"Don't bother. We can just make some noodles," Nathan said.

Irene nodded and said, "Uncle, just make some noodles for us. Nathan isn't picky."

Thomas moved fast. The steaming egg noodles were already on the table when they came out of the

bathroom after washing their faces. Eden ate half a bowl and fell asleep.

Irene carried Eden into the bedroom and placed him on the bed. Nathan finished his meal and Thomas

was cleaning up the table.

Irene poured Nathan a glass of water. They sat on the couch together and chatted. Nathan frowned

when he recalled Edric's sudden appearance earlier in the day. "What happened with Edric today? It

was quite a coincidence."

"Who knows? I've seen him around rather often recently," Irene replied.

"Is that so? Is he following you?" Nathan became vigilant.

"Follow me? I don't think Myers is that bored. Maybe it's just a coincidence," Irene answered.

"From the way he behaved today, I think he hasn't given up on you yet."

"So what? I've given up on him already," Irene sneered and became a little angry when she thought

about it, "I would have thrown mud at him if Eden hadn't been there today!"

Nathan frowned slightly. "Irene, you and Edric have a lot of chances to meet. He will find out about

Eden sooner or later. You need to think of a way to deal with it as soon as possible. You can't be as

flustered as you were today."

Irene nodded and said, "I know what I'm doing. Don't worry. I was in a panic today because I'm not

ready yet. It won't be like this if we meet again in the future."

"You already know how to handle him? How?" Nathan was confused.

"Yes, I have a solution. Eden is my child. I'm going to admit it in the future. As powerful as Myers is, he

can't stop me from having a child with other people."

"Edric wouldn't buy it so easily. Eden looks like you. He will definitely investigate it. Things will be tricky

when he finds out," Nathan was not so optimistic. "Why don't you let Eden go with me?"

"Nathan, you've done too much for me. I'm very grateful for your help. But I have to keep Eden with me

this time," Irene was very determined. She entrusted Eden to Nathan because she didn't have the

ability to raise him. It was different now. She already had a stable job and could provide for Eden. She

did not have to bear the pain of separation anymore.

"I know you can't live without Eden, but I'm really worried that Edric will fight for Eden after knowing the

truth. You won't be able to win the custody battle."

"I won't let him know that Eden is his child. Eden's birthday is fake. According to that date, I became

pregnant three months after I left him."

"Edric is not stupid. He would have thought that the date could be fake."

"Don't worry. I have something more convincing," Irene replied, "He will definitely believe it."

Nathan stayed for a while longer before leaving. Soon after he returned to the hotel, Jordan came to

visit him. Nathan was surprised to see Jordan's black eyes. "What happened?"

"Didn't Irene tell you?" Jordan asked.

"No."

Jordan was upset to hear that Irene didn't tell Nathan what happened. "This woman is so f*cking

heartless!"

He told Nathan about his fight with Edric. "Don't you think there is something wrong with Myers? Why

does he mess with me again and again?"

"How would I know? Maybe he doesn't like you," Nathan answered. He certainly knew that Edric was

jealous that Jordan liked Irene. However, if Edric cared about Irene so much, why did he cheat on her

in the first place?

Could there be other reasons? But he shouldn't betray his wife no matter what the reason might be.

"Does he take a fancy to Irene as well?" Jordan mumbled to himself. The more he thought about it, the

more he felt that it was true. "I will teach him a lesson if Myers dares to hanker for Irene."

"How are you going to teach him a lesson?" Nathan asked.

"I'm going to tell him about Irene's true identity and piss him off," Jordan said smugly. "Isn't Myers

dating Steven's youngest daughter? It'll be a good show if he knows that Irene is Steven's eldest

daughter," Jordan thought to himself.

"Nonsense!" Nathan's face darkened, "You can't tell anyone about Irene's identity."

Seeing Nathan's expression, Jordan also remembered that Irene asked him to keep her secret.

Knowing that he misspoke, Jordan smiled embarrassedly and said, "I don't understand. She is not an

illegitimate daughter. Why doesn't she want others to know about her relationship with Steven? Isn't it a

good thing to have the Secretary as her father?"

"Everyone has their own thoughts and intention. Of course she has her reasons for not wanting people

to know. Just remember that you can't reveal anything."

"I'm just joking. I still remember what she asked me," Jordan replied, "But I'm holding grudges against

Myers now. I'll take my revenge someday."

"You're so petty!" Nathan shook his head.

Jordan glared at him and said, "How am I petty? It's only because Myers repeatedly screwed me over!"

"Why would Myers find your soft spot and attack you if you didn't act so impulsively?" Nathan asked.

"You're right, but I had to do it!" Jordan said bitterly, "Nathan, to tell you the truth, I really have no

interest in Joanne." This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

"Or maybe just a little?" Nathan teased him.

"No, not at all! You know I can't shit where I eat. I grew up with Joanne. How can I hanker after her?"

"You don't shit where you eat? Then what's going on with Irene?"

"Irene came out of nowhere. She was different from Joanne. I'm begging you, Nathan. I really don't

want to marry your sister. Please ask Joanne to turn her eyes to someone else. I can't take it!"

"Jordan, let's be honest, do you think I want you to be my brother-in-law?" Nathan snorted.

"Since neither of us wants this, please help me. I'm so tired of being called a womanizer. If it weren't for

stopping Joanne from badgering me, why would I pursue Coco in such a grandiose manner?"

"Jordan, you're thinking this the wrong way. You should make it clear to Joanne if you don't like her. Of

course your ambiguity is going to make her think that you still have her in your heart."

"I'm so wronged. I have made it very clear to her, but she just won't believe it. You know the Reed

Family has always hoped to form an alliance with the White Family through marriage. I'm the unlucky

one here. You're close to Joanne. Please try to talk to her and tell her that I don't deserve her heart."

While Nathan was speaking, his phone rang. A woman's voice came through the phone in a hurry.

"Brother, bad news!"

Jordan frowned and stood up instinctively when he heard the woman's voice. Nathan looked at him and

couldn't help but laugh. Joanne was not a monster. How could Jordan be so afraid? "Joanne, what

happened?"

"Grandma fainted!"

"She fainted?" Nathan was startled, "Why did she faint for no reason?"

"I don't know either. I just got a call from aunt and I'm on my way to the hospital right now. I called you

right away since I'm worried."

"Has everyone else been notified?"

"Yes, don't worry too much. I'm just telling you this. Maybe grandma is fine. I will call you later when I

see her in the hospital."

Nathan answered and hung up the phone. Seeing the worried look on his face, Jordan comforted him,

"It's going to be okay. Don't worry!"

"Grandma is getting old and her health is worsening in recent years. I'm very worried," Nathan sighed.

He was raised by his grandma and had a very close relationship with her. How could he not worry

when he heard about the news?

"Let's wait until Joanne gets to the hospital and see what's going on."

Nathan nodded with a concerned look. Seeing him like this, Jordan had to leave for now.
