Moving On from a Cheater Chapter 235
"We shouldn't just accept gifts from strangers, Aunt Kendra," Iris said firmly. It had nothing to do with the value of the gifts. She felt that, since it wasn't a blind date, she shouldn't accept the man's gifts. If she did, it would complicate matters. She did not like to keep things ambiguous."Let's go in, Aunt Kendra," Iris said, trying to change the subject.However, Kendra said with a smile, "There's no rush. You haven't introduced your boyfriend to me yet."Iris looked up at Jason, concern flickering in her bright eyes. She softly introduced them, "This is my Aunt Kendra."Jason had already pieced it together from their earlier conversation. "Aunt Kendra," he greeted Kendra with a smile.Kendra's face lit up. "Hi.""Iris, I can already tell that your new boyfriend is a much better man than your ex-husband. Stanley always has his nose in the air. I know he looks down on us. But this one – he's good, very good," Kendra remarked.When Iris and Stanley were still married, he

"My name is Jason. Thank you for the sushi last time," Jason said smoothly, completely ignoring the questioning look from Iris. After all, Iris couldn't ask him about it in front of Cassie, so she could only endure it silently."Please, have a seat," Cassie said, beaming with happiness as she accepted the gifts from Jason. She then shot her sister a look, seemingly asking, "Did you come empty-handed?"In their local customs, it was necessary to bring gifts when visiting relatives.Kendra pretended not to notice. She had assumed that since she was orchestrating a blind date for Iris, she wouldn't need to bring anything as the man would bring gifts. Who would have thought they'd run into Iris on the way? Not only did she have a boyfriend already, she also refused to accept the man's gifts. Kendra casually asked, "Iris, what does your boyfriend do for a living?""Oh, he's a lawyer," Iris replied.Kendra clicked her tongue. "Another lawyer?"Cassie shot her sister a glare. "What'

Iris' shy reaction did not go unnoticed by Kendra, who teased, "Iris, you were already married once. Why are you still so shy with your boyfriend?"At Kendra's words, all eyes turned to Iris, and her face flushed bright red."Aunt Kendra…" she stammered, looking at Kendra in bewilderment.Jason placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder and said gently, "Sit down first."Iris complied, taking a seat.Jason said, "Iris is naturally shy, so she blushes easily."Cassie shot a warning glare at her sister. "Stop bringing up the past."Kendra pouted indignantly.It's not like she was lying. Iris was married once. Why couldn't she mention it? It's not a secret.Besides, the man seemed to be aware of Iris' previous marriage, and he didn't seem to mind. Why did they have to be so nervous?"Stuff your mouth with food and stop talking," Cassie urged, serving food to her sister.Kendra looked at the table laden with delicious dishes and remarked, "You guys must really like this new son-in

"What guest? How can you call yourself a guest when you don't even bring a gift when you visit? Hurry up and leave," Cassie said bluntly as she dragged Kendra out.Dennis assisted in pushing Kendra out of the house.This wasn't the first time such an incident had occurred. During a past Thanksgiving, her negative comments had dampened the festive spirit, leading the family to kick her out.The next day, she acted as if nothing had happened.Kendra couldn't stand seeing other people too happy so she always had to make some snide remarks.After the door closed, Cassie told her daughter and Jason, "Okay, now we can eat!"Jason could see that this was a special "quirk" of their family."Don't worry about it. That's just the way she is. It's not the first time she's kicked out," Dennis assured him.Jason smiled. He turned to Iris, who forced an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry you have to witness that," she said."No worries; these things are the flavors of life," he replied. He actu

Jason didn't seem to think there was anything wrong. He ate the stew one spoon after another under Iris' gaze until he finished the whole bowl."Your father's stew is indeed delicious," he savored, then commented, "But it's a bit sweet."Even though it was a serious evaluation, Iris couldn't help but feel a hint of ambiguity in his words.She did not even dare to make eye contact with him.She stared at the remaining stew in her bowl, unsure whether to eat it or not.Right then, Cassie brought over the fruits."Fruits taste great after a meal," she placed the fruit platter on the table.In the past, although Cassie's cooking was decent, her presentation was messy. Maybe it was because she had started selling sushi and had higher aesthetic standards now, but the sliced fruits this time were arranged very nicely.Dennis also brought over a small bowl of strawberries and placed it in front of Iris, "These strawberries are so sweet."Iris looked up and said, "Thank you, Dad."Den

Was he getting addicted to acting?He shouldn't be a lawyer. He should be an actor. He would definitely win a lot of awards.Most young actors nowadays rely on their looks more than their talents anyway. Jason's combination of talent and good looks would surely make him a star.Cassie replied, "I'm very satisfied, but if you don't treat Iris well, I still won't approve." Her expression shifted from cheerful to serious. "Iris is our only child. She has always been smart and well-behaved, never causing any trouble for us. She's a good girl...""Mom," Iris interjected, feeling like her mother was hard-selling her.Jason replied with a smile, "I know she's a good girl.""Then make sure you treat her well," Cassie said."I will," Jason replied.When they departed, Cassie and Dennis walked with them to the car to see them off.Watching the car drive away, Dennis turned to his wife and said, "We may have been a little too enthusiastic earlier; we should have held back a bit more.""

Wendy gripped the door handle tightly, watching Stanley in his engagement attire alongside the woman who had seemingly appeared out of nowhere.She thought Stanley would save her after she was arrested.She thought Stanley would marry her after he divorced Iris.Yet all her meticulous planning and efforts had only resulted in him marrying someone else.She glared at Fiora, feeling a surge of hatred. It seemed to her that Fiora had stolen the fruits of her labor. If it weren't for her schemes, Iris and Stanley wouldn't have divorced, and this woman wouldn't be engaged to Stanley. She felt utterly robbed.During her six-month imprisonment, she had been on her best behavior. She had even risked her life to work with the police force to expose the leader of a drug trafficking ring, aiding in the capture of the whole gang.She had no past record of drug abuse or trafficking; she had never even tested positive for drugs. She had also shown genuine remorse and had even aided the police.

Henry bluntly remarked, "You look like you're attending a funeral."Lester nudged him. "Come on, don't say something like that on his engagement day."Stanley did not seem to mind at all. He appeared indifferent.Lester and Henry exchanged glances."Stanley, it's not too late to change your mind…" Henry began."Tch!" Stanley scoffed. "She openly acted intimate with other men in front of me. Why can't I get engaged?"Lester scratched his head. He's throwing a tantrum? They had already divorced. She had every right to move on.As the time for the ceremony approached, Renee arrived to summon Stanley to the front hall. The engagement setup was dreamy and romantic, featuring flowers transported by cold chain delivery to ensure their freshness. The lavish arrangements included high-end red and white wines, with every table at the banquet reportedly costing millions. Renee had spared no expense to ensure a grand event for Fiora. She had even gifted Fiora with some jewelry from her pr

"I hope, through your conversations with your father, you can discover part of the truth."What does your father mean by 'becoming closer'? How did he attempt to do that? What was your sister's reaction? How many times did this behavior occur, and under what circumstances? "Finding out these things will help you gain a clearer understanding of the truth. From there, you can assess how serious your father's actions might be – whether they constitute indecent behavior or rape. Once you've had a good grasp of the situation, you can thoughtfully consider whether to support your sister or your father."As it stands, the reason your father was allowed to be released on bail is due to a lack of evidence at this point in time, but that doesn't mean he'll definitely be fine."From our conversation, you seem to be conflicted, but lean towards supporting your father. Your stepmother was aware of the situation before the suicide happened. With all the witnesses, alongside the victim's testimo

It would be hard not to develop an introverted personality growing up in that kind of family environment, thought Iris."On the day of the suicide attempt or the day before, did she experience any direct triggers? What date was the suicide note written?" she asked."She had the note prepared well in advance, revising it multiple times. The police report indicates that the last revision was made on the 25th of last month," the woman explained."So it's a digital document?""Yes, it's a notepad document. She also wrote one by hand, but that's a much simpler version."Iris pressed further, "During the period leading up to her suicide attempt, did she encounter any specific triggers?""I'm not sure; I just got back from abroad," the woman replied."What stage is the case currently in?""It's in the investigation phase.""How long has the investigation been ongoing?""About a week.""Has your father met with a lawyer?""No, he has been released on bail.""What is your father's

"She only wrote that it's been happening since she was a child. Because she was so young back then, she only has vague memories of someone touching her and holding her down," the woman explained.Iris asked, "Did you just find out about these incidents?""Yes. After my parents divorced, I lived with my mother. I then went abroad at a young age. I only came back because of this," the woman replied.Iris nodded. "Do they all live in the same house?""Yes, and my sister has her own room. Supposedly, when her mother was away, my father entered her room and did inappropriate things to her... My stepsister has always been a bit introverted. Her mother has a foul temper, so she's always been a bit scared of her family. The suicide note stated that from childhood through 10th grade, my father has molested her multiple times. In 10th grade, he raped her for the first time – the first time she was aware of it, at least.""So, she had an impression of these incidents as a child but wasn't en

Iris fastened her seatbelt and said, "I left the medicine inside, so I went back to retrieve it. On the way back out, I ran into my former father-in-law and exchanged a few words with him."Jason responded with a silent stare.What a small world. She had just been harassed by her ex-husband, and now she ran into her former father-in-law."He brought his mistress here for a prenatal check-up. Looks like my ex-husband is about to have a sibling," Iris continued.Jason was speechless."Does infidelity run in their family or something?" he asked, a hint of mockery in his voice.Iris paused, then laughed. "Probably."As they drove off, Jason's eyes reflected his disdain.Iris tilted her head and remarked, "You seem unhappy."Jason kept quiet.With Fiora marrying a Stein, he could see potential troubles ahead.The Just family had always maintained a low profile, avoiding scandals. But in the future...Iris did not continue the conversation. She sat quietly."I'll take you home.

Jason examined his palm and said, "It's already healed."Iris served him some food, cautioning, "You can't be too careful."The wound was really deep, so it's best to see a doctor to make sure.After they finished their meal, Iris cleaned the dishes and tidied up before they left for the hospital together.The doctor assessed Jason's hand, which had healed well. He removed the stitches and prescribed medication for scar removal, instructing him to apply it to the wound every morning and evening for optimal healing. He assured Jason that it would heal well since it was a new scar.As they left the hospital, Jason's phone rang. It was Fiora calling, prompting him to step aside to take the call."Jason, when are you bringing your girlfriend over for dinner? Mom said you're already living together, so don't even think about lying to me," Fiora said.Jason glanced at Iris. "If you have so much free time, why don't you check on your fiancé? Ask him what he's been up to lately.""Why

His arms were strong, and his broad and sturdy frame created a comforting embrace.The weather had turned warm, so they were wearing thin clothes. Iris could feel the heat radiating from his body, almost burning through the fabric.She lowered her gaze slightly and shifted her body. "Stop fooling around," she said.Leaning closer, Jason whispered near her ear, "What are you thinking about?""I'm not thinking of anything," Iris replied, though she quickly realized what he really meant to ask. When she turned her head, their lips brushed, and a flush crept across her face. Trying to maintain her composure, she added, "You want to know if I still have feelings for him, right? Wasn't my attitude just now firm enough?"Jason studied her slightly offended expression. "Are you angry?""I don't like being tested. You know about my past, so you should brace yourself.""Brace myself for what?" he asked, a hint of a smile playing on his lips."Brace yourself to be harassed by my ex-husban

Before Jason could reply, Iris continued, "I'm the only child in my family. My family is quite ordinary; my parents are common folks, and my relatives are just regular people.""My family is... comfortable. I have a younger sister, and my parents are alive and well," Jason replied succinctly.Iris nodded. She had finally gained a preliminary understanding of his background. Suddenly, there was a commotion outside. The police seemed to have arrived.As Iris moved to open the door, Jason grabbed her arm. "You stay inside the house," he instructed firmly, then went to answer the door instead.The cops asked who had called the police. Jason explained, "My girlfriend called the police. This guy is harassing my girlfriend, banging on the door and attempting to trespass. His actions have severely affected her normal life."Stanley, hearing Jason repeatedly refer to Iris as his "girlfriend," felt a painful buzz in his head. He sneered, his face twisted in anger. "Your girlfriend? She's

Stanley could no longer hold himself back. He couldn't stand the intimate display between Jason and Iris. "Should you really be speaking such vulgar words, Mr. Just? You sound like a crook," he said sharply.He then turned towards Iris. "Iris, come back to me." He attempted to reignite the love they once shared.Iris met his eyes with indifference.Her coldness made Stanley's heart skip a beat. "I'm sorry," he murmured, the words slipping out unconsciously. Deep down, he knew he was the one at fault.Unmoved, Iris withdrew her gaze and grasped Jason's arm, looking up at Jason with eyes that shimmered with emotion. Once, she had put on an act with Jason to escape from Stanley, but now, she was no longer acting. She said sincerely, without a trace of pretense, "My dear, I'm so glad to have you in my life."Jason had guided her to slowly become a true lawyer, providing support and mentorship along the way."Let's go," she said, tightening her grip on Jason's arm.Stanley felt sha

Iris let out a mocking snort."I've never thought of getting back together with you, but I have thought about revenge. Just yesterday, I had a dream that you died. It was a grotesque, painful death – limbs broken, internal organs shattered. I was so happy that I laughed out loud. When I woke up and realized it was just a dream, do you know how disappointed I was?"Stanley's expression shifted from pale to blue, his mouth twitching in disbelief. "If insulting me makes you feel better, then go ahead. I can take it."He still seemed to believe that he could win her back as long as he apologized sincerely.Iris was so angry that she couldn't help laughing. "What are you laughing at? I know you were heartbroken after our divorce. You've felt hurt, shed tears – don't try to deny it, I've seen it with my own eyes. Let's stop tormenting each other."Iris admitted, "After the divorce, I was indeed heartbroken, but not for the reasons you think. I was sad about why I ever fell for you. I
