Ted, however, was someone she knew very well. While he might not be particularly outstanding, he had a solid character. He had silently admired Iris for eight years, but while she was married to Stanley, he never made a move on her, always behaving appropriately. Now that he's pursuing her, he's doing so openly.In the last seven years, it must have killed him to see the love of his life with another man.There's a saying that if you really have to marry, you should marry someone who loves you. Yvonne thought Ted was a decent choice.Iris gently pulled her hand away. "I want to focus on my career."Ted had mentally prepared himself for this, knowing there was a 99% chance of rejection. Yet, hearing her soft refusal still left him feeling disappointed. He wilted like a frostbitten eggplant, his expectations replaced by sadness.He hung his head as Iris picked up the medical kit and left the room.Yvonne approached and patted Ted on the shoulder. "Iris has just divorced; she needs

After a while, Iris opened her eyes and wiped away the remaining tears. Sitting up, she stared blankly into space. She knew she shouldn't feel sad because of Stanley anymore; he wasn't worth it. Yet, letting go of seven years of feelings was akin to cutting flesh from her heart. It was a painful process. She could feign strength on the outside, but the agony within was something only she could understand. However, she believed that over time, the wound would heal, scab over, and eventually recover.Determined, she stood up from the bed and walked to the window, hoping the breeze would clear her mind and calm her heart. Instead, she spotted Fiora walking hand-in-hand with Stanley on the cobblestone path.Renee had arranged for Fiora to come. She wanted Iris to see that Stanley already had another woman, effectively nipping any possibility of reconciliation in the bud. Renee suspected Stanley's encounter with Iris on Seine Mountain was part of Iris' scheme. She believed that Ir

Stanley didn't respond to Fiora.His eyes never left Iris. Fiora bit her lip, steeled herself, and tiptoed to kiss Stanley. Stanley's eyes widened in surprise; her action was too sudden, catching him off guard. Before he could push her away, Fiora wrapped her arms around his neck tightly. "Don't push me away. I... I'm pregnant."The lie slipped out effortlessly, driven by her desperation to keep him.Stanley stood frozen in disbelief, shock flooding his face.They had only had sex once. How could this happen...? When he came back to his senses, he pushed Fiora away and looked up, only to find that Iris was no longer at the window. The white curtain fluttered gently in the breeze, occasionally blowing out of the window.He ran into the corridor.No matter how hard he tried to convince himself or brainwash himself, the emotions buried inside him were undeniable."Stanley!" Fiora called out as she chased after him, but he couldn't hear her over the rush of his own thoughts. He ha

Fiora guiltily avoided eye contact. "No, not yet. It's still in the early phase of pregnancy, so…""Then let's wait until it's confirmed first." Stanley pulled away from her and quickly walked off."Stanley, wait for me…" Fiora called, hurrying to catch up.Suddenly, Stanley stopped. Fiora couldn't stop in time and ran into him."S-Stanley…" she stammered as she looked at him anxiously."Aren't you pregnant? Should you really be running?" His voice was devoid of emotion, even sounding a bit cold.Fiora's guilt intensified, her heart racing. She bit her lip in frustration. "It's all because you ran off like that. I had to run to chase after you…" She emphasized the words "chase after you" and even rubbed her belly.Stanley glanced at her abdomen but remained silent. He had indeed slept with her, regardless of whether he was thinking straight at the time. It was something that he could not deny."Alright, let's go," he said, his tone softening slightly.Fiora reached for his h

Therefore, Henry had deliberately avoided Iris. Yvonne's phone was in the changing room, so Ted's call went unanswered."She's not answering the phone. It's okay, let's eat without her. The fish dishes here are very famous. The restaurant raises the fish themselves in a nearby lake. I’ve tried them before — the fish meat is tender and smooth. They have the option of clear stew or sour soup. Which flavor would you like?" Ted asked."Anything's fine," Iris replied, not being particularly picky."Then let’s go with the sour soup." Ted gently placed his hand on her waist. It was winter, so Iris' clothes were thick, and with her wearing his coat on top of that, his action felt more gentlemanly than inappropriate. Iris didn’t even notice his hand resting on her waist.However, Fiora happened to witness this scene. She was by the car with Stanley, ready to leave. She spotted them through the restaurant's floor-to-ceiling window."Stanley, look over there! Your ex-wife and that man are

The scene of the accident was chaotic, with vehicle parts scattered and bloodstains marking the pavement. The airbags had deployed, trapping Stanley and Fiora in their seats. Stanley lay heavily unconscious, blood all over his face.-At the Seine Mountain Resort, when Iris and Ted left the restaurant after finishing their meal, they happened to run into Professor Sandler, who was out taking a leisurely walk."P-Professor Sandler," Iris exclaimed, caught off guard. She had hoped to tidy herself up first before going to see him in the evening. Despite her divorce, she hoped to present herself well in front of him.Instead, he found her in a disheveled state.Professor Sandler examined her and remarked, "You’ve lost weight."Iris lowered her head as a pang of self-reproach hit her. Her eyes stung with tears. Professor Sandler’s gaze shifted to her coat."Professor Sandler," Ted also greeted him respectfully.Professor Sandler nodded in acknowledgment, then said, "I'd like to

"Come here," Professor Sandler said. He did not think much of Henry. Although he had never seen Henry before and was unfamiliar with Henry's personality and character, he felt an instinctive dislike for the man.Yvonne approached them and informed Iris, "We just received news that Stanley was involved in a car accident. We don't know if he's dead or alive."The word "dead" tightened Iris' heartstrings. After all, she had lived with Stanley for four years. Even if it was a pet, one couldn't help fostering some feelings after spending so much time together. She could let go of her love for Stanley, but she could not remain indifferent to this news.Perhaps it was only human nature.Henry had lost all interest in flirting with Yvonne. He said, "Iris, come with me to check on Stanley."Iris did not move. She replied coldly, "I have nothing to do with him anymore. I don't care if he's dead or alive…""You were married for four years. Don't you care about him, even a little?" Henry ask

Iris walked over and saw Stanley being dragged out of the car. "Stretcher, quick!"Stanley was placed on a stretcher and lifted into the ambulance.Henry said, "Iris, you go with the ambulance. I'll follow in my car."The doctor asked, "Is she a family member?"Iris shook her head. "No."Henry couldn't stand formalities at a time like this. "Ex-wife is still a wife. We don't know how bad Stanley's injury is. He can't be left alone."He pushed Iris onto the ambulance.Inside the ambulance, the doctor immediately examined and treated Stanley. Once they arrived at the hospital, he was immediately taken to the operating room. Iris sat on a bench outside the operating room.Henry arrived a bit later and asked, "How's he doing, Iris?""I don't know," Iris replied."I'll inform his mother…" Henry began but suddenly stopped. He looked at Iris. If he called Renee here, Iris would surely leave. Henry felt that Stanley still had feelings for Iris, even if he didn't want to admit i

Vince smiled, "I am."Iris said, "You've married a good woman."Kendra said while holding her grandson, "What about you, Iris? I heard from your mother that you broke up with your boyfriend. Why? Men like him are rare. I can't believe you actually broke up with him. Let me tell you, if you miss out on him, you won't find anyone as good in the future. I used to think Stanley was handsome, but Jason's even better-looking. Don't be stupid. Since you met someone good, you should hold onto him tightly and never let go. Don't break up with him so easily." The smile on Iris' face instantly faded.Vince noticed her change in demeanor and immediately spoke sternly to his mother, "Mom, she's an adult; she knows what she's doing. There's no need for you to interfere.""I'm just worried about Iris," Kendra replied, "You've met him before, right? Tell me, do you think Iris can find someone better than him?"Vince fell silent. Even he recognized Jason's qualities were impressive.Although Ja

However, she wasn't hungry. The only thing she felt was uneasy."Don't tell me you haven't had dinner yet?" Jason asked."I have," she lied, trying to keep her tone casual. After some hesitation, she asked, "Are things going well on your end?""I'll personally send Fiora there. The flight's tomorrow," he replied."How many days will you be gone for?""Three or four days."There was a moment of silence before Iris asked, "Is it okay if I don't see you off?"If she did, she would inevitably meet Fiora.Fiora was still unaware of her relationship with Jason. If she found out, it would surely complicate matters.It wasn't the right time to let her know."Of course.""Is there anything else?" she asked."...No. Good night.""You too, good night."After hanging up, Iris curled up on the couch, feeling vulnerable. Her eyes kept darting towards the door, fearing an unexpected intrusion. She didn't think she could fall asleep.Determined to take precautions, she ordered a surveil

When she bent down to move it aside, she saw a folder inside with her name written on it, which puzzled her.She became wary. Someone had placed this box at the door knowing this was where she lived. This was no mere coincidence. Who could it be?After ensuring there was nothing dangerous inside the box, she retrieved the folder and set the cardboard box aside. Entering her house with the folder in hand, she dropped her car keys and bag before quickly opening it. There was a stack of photos inside, all pictures of her — when she left the house for work in the morning, when she reached the law firm, when she went out for lunch, and when she walked to her car in the underground parking lot after work.Panic set in as she realized these photos were secretly taken by someone who was following her. Her heart raced. Someone had been tracking her and documenting her movements. What was the intention of leaving these photos at her doorstep? Was it a threat? An intimidation tactic? She

Iris turned to her, surprised."You don't seem too happy," she teased. "Rather than getting married, it looks more like you're going to attend a funeral.""Is marriage something to be happy about? Aren't you a cautionary tale?" Yvonne shot back.Iris was speechless.She was indeed a textbook cautionary tale.Yvonne poured herself another glass. "Marriage isn't something to be happy about. I'm just fulfilling my parents' wishes."In the past, she just wanted to have fun and didn't want to get married. When her parents urged her to get married, her grandfather defended her.Now that her grandfather had fallen ill and was not in good health, he also wanted to see her get married.She could ignore her parents, but for her grandfather's sake, she had to get married.Iris sighed. "I'm sorry for being a bad example. You're not me. Most marriages don't end like mine. Most people do well."Yvonne smiled. "Are you trying to comfort me?""Kind of," Iris admitted."I'm very rational.

She only realized that when she checked her phone at the end of the workday. Brad had called multiple times, but she merely glanced at the notifications without replying. There were also missed calls from Yvonne, who asked to meet up that evening.Iris messaged back, asking: [What time? Where?][Star Coast.][Got it.]Iris went to the underground parking lot. She took the stairs as the elevator was under maintenance. The maintenance was scheduled to be performed after work hours when there were fewer people.Her footsteps echoed in the dimly lit stairway, clattering loudly as emergency lights flickered on.A person in a black windbreaker, baseball cap, and face mask entered the stairway. Their head was bowed low, with half their face scrunched up inside their collar, obscuring their expression.Iris found her car, opened the door, and got in. Unbeknownst to her, a pair of eyes watched her intently from the shadows.The person's tightly clenched hands and the bulging veins o

Iris kept quiet and didn't say anything. She felt a pang of regret over the waste since those things cost money. He could have just given them away instead of throwing them away. However, she couldn't help but find his jealousy endearing. She couldn't believe a successful man like him would get so jealous."Let me help you," she offered. She closed the fridge and moved into the kitchen to help him serve the breakfast that Samuel bought."What time did you wake up?" she asked."Before seven," he answered.Iris glanced at the time; it was already past eight.Just then, her phone in the bedroom rang.She got up to answer it and saw it was Brad calling. She hesitated before answering."What time are you coming to visit me, Iris?" Brad asked, sounding forlorn."I have to go to the law firm. I haven't been there for two days. I can't put the case off anymore," she explained, politely declining.Though it was true she had to deal with the case, she could actually spare a couple of ho

Jason simply smiled without saying a word, leaving Iris feeling as though she had been unwittingly tricked. He seemed like an easy-going person, but there was an innate confidence and control about him that set him apart from others."You have a hidden agenda, don't you?" she asked."Once you finish the case in Southerland, I'd like to transfer you overseas," he replied.As for Brad Vassell, he would continue to stay at the law firm.The two would naturally be separated.Iris sat up straight, alarmed. "What did you say?"She was not going to sacrifice her career for a man! Their relationship wasn't at a stage where such sacrifices were warranted. Actually, no matter how much she ended up loving him, she would not sacrifice her career for him. She had already learned her lesson."With your skills, limiting yourself to marriage cases is a waste. Don't you want to tackle international cases?" He spoke casually, but his words were full of temptation.Iris was aware that Jason had

"I'll explain to her." Jason bent down, lifted Iris up and carried her to the bedroom.Iris, feeling sad, buried her face in his neck. "I'm sorry," she mumbled."It's not your fault. You didn't know she would be there." When Jason opened the bedroom door, the light passed over his face, illuminating the fleeting hint of danger in his eyes. "When you went to the Vassell family mansion, what did they say to you?""They just thanked me for mentoring Brad..." At that moment, Iris felt something was off. A family like the Vassells wouldn't need to invite her to their house for something so trivial. But if it wasn't to express their gratitude, why would they invite her? She wasn't close to them, and their statuses were vastly different."What was their intention?" she asked, looking up at him.All she saw was his firm jaw.Jason answered, "They had their reasons."He didn't blame Iris for easily accepting Brad's invitation; she wasn't part of their circle and naturally didn't know the

Iris was unbothered by Yvonne's antics; she would be more surprised if Yvonne didn't say something inappropriate.Yvonne closed the door with a smile. To be honest, she was genuinely happy for Iris, pleased to see her stepping out of her shell. She didn't care if Iris got together with Brad or Jason. She was happy as long as Iris could emerge from the shadows of her failed marriage without losing her confidence in men and still being open to love. After all, they say once bitten, twice shy. Yvonne feared that Iris might lose her ability to love someone after experiencing Stanley's betrayal.Iris approached the dining table, eyeing the fried chicken and beer. "We have dinner now.""Junk food," Jason remarked, glancing at it before pulling out his phone to make a call.Iris interjected, "Don't. It's fine to have junk food once in a while; it's not like we eat this every day. It would be a waste to throw it away."She opened the paper bag, retrieved the fried chicken, and set out gla
