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

    "If you don't want to drink, then don't," Iris said, placing the cup on the table.Stanley fell silent. He was already starting to miss her peaceful and beautiful sleeping face. "I'll drink," he finally said. His throat was parched.Iris picked up the water cup and inserted the straw into his mouth. Stanley drank eagerly, sucking the water through the straw like he was sucking milk from a carton. After finishing the cup of water, he finally felt a bit better."Can you help me wipe my face? It feels uncomfortable," he asked, looking at her with a pitiful expression. The wound on his forehead had been treated, but remnants of blood and antiseptic remained on his face.Iris rarely saw him in such a vulnerable state. Because he's injured, Iris decided to help him. She said, "There are no towels or basins in the ward. I'll have to go buy them." She left the ward.Stanley watched her leave, smiling to himself. Her heart had finally softened.Not long after Iris left, the door opene

    The water splashed all over Stanley, soaking his hair, clothes, and bedding. As a finishing touch, Iris flung the basin at him."You call yourself a man, Stanley?!"How could he be so despicable? He hurt her, betrayed Wendy, and now, he couldn't even be loyal to Fiora.Iris wasn't just angry because he was disrespectful to Fiora; she was angry at his careless, unserious, and irresponsible attitude towards relationships. Did he see women as mere toys? Iris was ashamed that she used to love him.Stanley slowly raised his eyes, water dripping from his messy hair, and their gazes locked. "Iris..."Fiora finally recovered from the shock. "Are you crazy? Stanley is injured. How could you pour water on him when the weather's so cold?! Are you trying to kill him?!"After she scrambled to her feet, the first thing she did was not to check on her leg injury or confront Stanley, but to push Iris. "Stanley is injured! How could you be so cruel? What a nasty woman!"Iris, caught off guard by

    Iris climbed out of the car.A crew-cut guy in an LV denim jacket perched on the hood of a silver sports car whistled at her. "Hey, beautiful."Brad shot the man a glare. "Piss off.""Is this your girlfriend? She's pretty," the crew-cut guy smirked at Brad.Brad replied, "She's not my girlfriend.""How can you bring someone who's not your girlfriend? Don't you know the rules?" the crew-cut guy questioned.Their race had a rule where the passenger seat could only be occupied by the driver's girlfriend.The crew-cut guy leaned back, draping his arm over the girl beside him. "Just admit it. What's the point of denying it?""She's my big sister," Brad explained, then turned to Iris with a smile. "Don't mind them, Iris. That's just the way they are, always running their mouths.""Your big sister?" A girl with braids asked curiously, "Don't you only have an elder brother? When did you get a big sister? Is she your father's secret illegitimate child?""Piss off," Brad snapped. "You

    Iris settled at the empty dining table. She had a healthy appetite because she was in a good mood. She ordered a steak and a bowl of minestrone soup. She finished everything, savoring each bite. After enjoying her meal a bit too much, she felt pleasantly full.When she headed back downstairs, she encountered the pregnant woman again. The woman had chestnut-colored wavy hair, fair skin, and wore a long dress that accentuated her protruding belly. Iris noted that she looked quite young, much younger than Renee. It made her wonder if all men preferred younger women.Wendy was young too."Hi," Iris greeted with a smile.The pregnant woman looked around, puzzled. "Are you talking to me?"Iris nodded. "I'm a lawyer from the Golden Path Law Firm; my last name is Glover. If you have any property disputes in the future, feel free to come to me. I can be your lawyer."The woman sized Iris up, thinking, She seems normal enough, but her words are so strange. Is she crazy?Iris maintained he

    Concerned that Iris' words would negatively impact Stanley's image in Fiora's mind, Renee yelled angrily, "You're not fit to say that. You're just the woman my son dumped. Shame on you, you uncultured swine."Fiora glanced at Iris, muttering, "Rude," before briskly walking towards the exit.Following Fiora's lead, Renee echoed, "Rude." As she walked past Iris, she couldn't resist a parting jab, "You couldn't get pregnant even after four years of marriage. There's definitely something wrong with your body. A secondhand woman who can't even bear a child – what future do you have? You'll end up with a broke man or an ugly old man."Iris laughed, unfazed. "I may not have a child, but the Stein bloodline will definitely continue. Someone will bear a child for you."Renee was confused. "Are you stupid? Who's going to bear a child for me?" She thought Iris' words were nonsensical; she expected someone to bear a grandchild for her, not a child.Iris merely smiled, choosing silence over ex

    The fragrance in the mall was quite pleasant, helping to relax Iris' mind.She spotted the pregnant woman making her way into a Channel store. The woman appeared to be a big spender. Most women who were willing to be with old men were in it for the money. Wendy probably genuinely liked Stanley, but Iris wouldn't be surprised if part of the reason she had an affair with him was because of his wealthy background. In contrast, Fiora seemed to genuinely loved Stanley. She didn't appear to be interested in his money, but rather in him as a person.Iris turned away, heading in another direction. She planned to buy some herbal tonics for her parents. Her parents lived frugally, often reluctant to spend money on themselves. They often worked late into the night, which would surely take a toll on their health.She entered a high-end gift shop, filled with various health products. She purchased a few expensive tonics.With her purchases in hand, she passed a storefront displaying a beaut

    "I'm very willing to help," Jason added, glancing sideways at her. Iris fixed her gaze straight ahead. "I'm already immensely grateful that you would give me opportunities to gain experience as a favor for Professor Sandler. I can't keep troubling you with my private affairs."She understood the importance of boundaries. You can't keep taking advantage of someone else's goodwill. She knew when to draw the line.If Jason could hear her inner thoughts, he would definitely say, "I wish you would keep 'taking advantage' of me."He gripped the steering wheel tight. Not going overboard was supposed to be a good thing, but it wasn't in her case. He sighed softly."Mr. Just, you can just drop me off at that intersection up ahead," Iris pointed. That intersection led to a large mall. Even if Jason hadn't mentioned it, she was going to buy something. However, she had no intention of letting Jason pay for it. He was helping her, so it wouldn't be right to make him spend money.As they re

    It was so sudden. It caught Iris off guard.He said with smiling eyes, his voice low and sexy, "Your ex-husband is watching."Iris placed her hands on his chest. At such close distance, his unique scent enveloped her, stirring her senses. She moved her head to the side slightly. "H-How do you think I did today?" she asked.She was referring to her performance in court.Jason tightened his hold, leaning in close to whisper in her ear. "You did very well."The warmth of his breath on her ear and neck sent a shiver down her spine, prompting her to shift slightly. "Um, Mr. Just..."Even if they were acting, there was no need to be this intimate.The height difference made his belt buckle press against her lower abdomen. It felt uncomfortable because it was rock hard.As a mature woman who had already been through a divorce, she tried not to overthink it, but the intimacy of their position was undeniable. She didn't dare to move her lower body at all. She could only push him gen

    Iris looked back at Stanley emotionlessly.Her clean, neat, and professional attire, paired with her short hair, projected an air of coldness that made her seem unapproachable.For the first time, Stanley felt a 'distance' between them. It felt like she was very far away from him.She was like a completely different person to the Iris he knew.While her face remained the same, her entire aura had changed; she was no longer the gentle, understanding woman in his memory. Instead, she had transformed into a strikingly cold beauty."You promised me we would reconcile," he said, looking into her eyes.Iris raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on her lips as she asked, "Did I say that?""During the break. Have you forgotten? We...""Do you have evidence?" She cut him off coolly. She was careful not to say anything that could be used against her. She had only hinted at reconciliation.Stanley's eyes narrowed. "You tricked me?"Iris' smile brightened. "You must have misunderstood

    Because Iris had experienced betrayal from a spouse herself, she could understand her client's feelings, so she spoke the words with conviction. Her client looked at her with teary eyes. She was grateful to Iris for voicing her inner thoughts."Thank you, Ms. Glover, for saying what I want to say."Meanwhile, Stanley's expression grew stiff. He felt like Iris was talking about him. He was ashamed of what he did with Wendy, feeling for the first time that he might have gone too far.The ball-less man's face twisted with frustration. It seemed like the more they argued, the less he sounded like a human.His terrible behavior towards the end of the trial directly impacted the judge's perception of him, leading to a more favorable outcome for Iris' client.Iris' client still had to go to prison; after all, she had indeed committed a crime. However, the sentence was only six months. Given the circumstances, it could already be considered quite lenient.She was also required to c
