Accidentally Pregnant After Divorcing The Billionaire (Jonathan and Teresa) novel Chapter 269

269.Chapter 269

Like Irene, Heidi had always dreamed of her son achieving great things. Once, Irene envied Heidi for marrying well, but now the tables had turned–Heidi was the one envying Irene.

Under Heidi’s relentless nagging, Edward finally caved and agreed to the blind date.

He didn’t even know her name, just that she was five years older and supposedly some kind of manager. ‘A career woman, huh? Definitely not my type,’ he thought, already rehearsing his excuse.

“Miriam?”

“Edward?”

The two of them spoke almost simultaneously.

Edward didn’t know what to say.

so into themselves.”

Edward licked his lips nervously. “Come on, just one meal. It’s my birthday today, and my mom still made me go on this blind date. No one’s even wished me a happy birthday. Isn’t that just sad?”

Miriam glanced at his bright, handsome face. His family’s genes were seriously impressive–every single one of them looked great. She softened a little. “Happy birthday.”
