Revenge Against My Ex-husband
Chapter 63 He's Charming

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, what she worried the most was not that Irene was fertile, but who the child's father was instead.

As long as the child was not Edric's, everything would be fine. If not, all that they had planned would go down the drain.

Jordan had been infuriated for many days after Edric had ruined his love confession last time. However, he had always been a person who could recollect himself very well. He adjusted his mentality immediately and was ready to pursue Irene again.

Eden's appearance made Jordan know that to make Irene happy did not only require him to tend to Irene, but also to Eden.

As long as he got Eden's good side, Irene would definitely pay some attention to him too. As a result, Jordan began to visit Irene's new home frequently.

Every time he went there, he would bring some fun toys and snacks that Eden liked. Children were the easiest to coax. Eden had started to take a liking to him.

Jordan took the opportunity to ask Eden if he could be his father. Eden hesitated and asked, "What about Nathan if you'll be my father? I prefer Nathan to be my father."

When Jordan heard this, he felt that he was greatly hurt. He wondered how Eden could still be thinking about Nathan when he had put in so much effort in winning over Eden's heart. Nevertheless, he did not dare to say this out loud. He spoke carefully, "Your mom doesn't like Nathan; she likes me. Do you understand?"

"Does Mom really like you?" Eden asked with a look of disbelief.

"Of course! Look at me! I'm way more handsome than Nathan. Most importantly, I'm smart. Your mom will like me for sure!" Jordan said confidently.

"You aren't more handsome than Nathan." Eden shook his head. In his opinion, Nathan was the most handsome. "But if Mom likes you, I'll take you as my father."

When Jordan heard Eden say that he was not as handsome as Nathan, he was about to put on a long face. However, the words Eden said next delighted him at once. "Eden, you're such a good boy. I will take you to the amusement park on Sunday."

"Really?" Eden became excited instantly when he heard Jordan mention the amusement park. "Will Mom go with us?" he asked.

"She'll go with us too. All of us will go! We're a family." Jordan was on cloud nine.

On Sunday, Jordan came early in the morning again. Ignoring Irene's opposition, he took Eden to the amusement park. Eden was jumping in excitement for the trip, but stopped smiling when he saw Irene's sullen face. He asked cautiously, "Mom, I want to go to the amusement park. Shall we go together?"

Looking at his sparkling, pleading eyes, Irene let out a long sigh and agreed to it.

At the amusement park, Eden requested to go on a roller-coaster ride in high spirits. "Mom, Mom, I want to go for the roller-coaster ride. Can you go with me?"

Irene was afraid of heights. She shook her head and refused, "You go with Jordan. I won't go!"

Looking at Eden's disappointed face, Jordan carried him up in his arms. "Your mom's afraid of height. Nevermind, the two of us can go together!"

Irene looked at Jordan's charming face, and was a little lost in mind.

If he did not have such a prominent family background, he was actually alright.

They had a lot of fun in the amusement park until noon. Before they left, Eden requested to dine at the buffet. Irene and Jordan would comply with him for sure. Jordan was so good to Eden that he brought them to the finest buffet in the city.

While Jordan brought Eden to get something to eat, they met Margaret by coincidence. When Margaret saw them, she was positively surprised. She thought that Eden was such a good-looking child, but why did he look so familiar? Unconsciously, she reached out and touched Eden's head. "What a cute child!"

Jordan responded triumphantly, "He's my son!"

"Your son?" Margaret was dumbfounded. She had never heard of Jordan getting married. How could he have a son out of nowhere? Thinking of Jordan's messy private life, she thought Eden must be an illegitimate child. She did not say anything more after that. She took the food and returned to her seat.

After sitting down, she took a glance at Jordan and Eden again only to notice Irene. She paused and eventually understood why Eden looked so familiar in her eyes. It was because he resembled Irene. Was he Irene's child? But it was impossible. If Irene could have children, she would not have forced her and Edric to divorce.

Thinking about it, Jordan and Irene took Eden to a table not far away from her. The three began to tuck in. Eden was obviously enjoying himself. Seeing him wolfing down the meal, Irene reminded him softly, "Slow down, don't choke yourself!"

A strange feeling rose in Margaret when she saw Irene caring for Eden. Eden looked so alike to her. Was he really her child?

It could not be! The doctor had declared that Irene could not get pregnant! As Margaret was still in her thoughts, she heard Eden talking, "Mom! I want the sweet pepper squid on your plate!"

"Okay!" Irene fed him the squid dotingly. He ate it and licked his lips. "I want more!"

She fed him another piece. "That's enough. Eat the others!"

Eden began to shove the other food into his mouth obediently. Looking at Irene's loving gaze, Margaret was shocked. He was really her child! She actually gave birth to a child!

She tried everything to make Irene and Edric divorce because she was sure that Irene was infertile. In order to make Edric agree to divorce, she had racked her every brain cell. In the end, she even resorted to that kind of dirty scheme.

Of course, she had done it because of Lily, who implied and reminded her that there was a thing between Irene and Nathan. Besides, Irene's attending doctor, Marie Walker, had been hinting the same thing at her too. Only then did she think of framing Irene and Nathan having an affair. Marie had given her several ideas, all of which were aimed to slander Irene having an affair. No man could stand a woman who betrayed them. As long as she gave the evidence to Edric, he would definitely divorce Irene.

Those photos and recordings were all edited and modified. Margaret thought that Edric would divorce Irene because of this, but things did not unfold as per her expectation. Despite being betrayed and cheated on, Edric refused to part with Irene.

She had no choice but to accept Marie's second suggestion, which was to take another shortcut and replace someone to be a surrogate mother.

Although Lily was to her liking, she had never thought about letting Lily be the surrogate mother. After all, Lily was born in such an affluent family. How could she be willing to do such a thing?

Marie advised Margaret that it was a good deal. Didn't she favor Lily as her daughter-in-law? As long as she persuaded Edric to agree to let another woman give birth to his child, then they would arrange Lily to spend a night with him. Irene would definitely divorce him once she learned that he and Lily had slept together.

Upon that, she went to tell Eric about the surrogate mother according to Marie's words. However, Edric was so stubborn that he would rather die than betray his marriage. In the end, Marie suggested another way, which was that they would opt for artificial impregnation. That being said, Edric did not have to have an intercourse with the surrogate mother.

She thought that Edric would be estranged from Irene once after Lily was pregnant with his child. However, he did not change at all after Lily was pregnant.

One of the most important reasons for Lily to agree to be the surrogate mother was that Margaret was sure that Edric would divorce Irene. Never did she expect that Edric was determined to live on with Irene after she had pulled all those strings.

As she was flooded with trouble, something happened. Irene actually ran into Lily in the hospital. She even pushed Lily, causing the latter to have a miscarriage.

Losing her grandchild, Margaret was so incensed that she could not help but beat Irene up. She forced Edric to divorce Irene with her life.

Thinking of the past, Margaret lost her appetite at once. Taking advantage of the opportunity when Jordan took Eden to the bathroom, she walked up to Irene and asked, "Was the child just now yours?" Irene looked up at her and answered indifferently, "Yes!"

"Were you the one who gave birth to him?" she asked again.

"Yes!" Irene was very concise.

"How was it possible?" Margaret could not believe it. She braced herself up to ask Irene because she thought that Eden was adopted. Didn't they say that the adopted children would look like their foster parents as they grew up with them?

"Why not?" Irene sneered. "Could it be that you don't want me to have a child for the rest of my life, Mrs. Myers? Or is it because I, an infertile woman, made you very uneasy that I finally manage to give birth to a child?"

Her sarcasm made Margaret's face flushed in anger. She used to be the mean one who insulted Irene. She did not expect that Irene would return her own words back to her one day. Incandescent, she left the restaurant with a red face.

In the elevator, bitterness consumed her entire being. She wondered how Irene, who couldn't and wasn't supposed to concieve, could give birth to a child? Irene's mocking was not that important. What she worried the most now was Edric. If he knew that Irene could give birth, it would be troublesome.

She had to ask Marie what was going on. She drove to the hospital Marie worked at.

Entering the hospital, she headed straight for the Gynecology Department. There were a lot of people waiting in line for consultation at Marie's office. She pushed the door open and barged in.
