Moving On from a Cheater Chapter 53
Jason reached out and took the food container, saying, "Thank you.""You're welcome," Iris replied with a smile."I live alone, so it might not be appropriate to invite you in," Jason said, closing the door promptly behind him.Iris blinked, realizing she had been left outside without even a sip of water. Although no one witnessed this embarrassing scene, it still felt quite awkward. She cleared her throat and turned to leave.She herself had not had dinner yet because she was busy cooking. Fortunately, she had saved a portion for herself. Now, it was time to go home to eat.Meanwhile, Stanley had been summoned back to the Stein family mansion by Renee. Upon entering, he spotted Fiora standing in the dining room, looking at him with a sweet smile. "Welcome home" she greeted.Stanley responded with a simple acknowledgment.Renee said to Fiora warmly, "Hurry up and sit down.""I’ll help serve the food," Fiora said."Oh, no need. Leave it to the servants," Renee replied, patting

He couldn't believe his eyes. Someone actually dared do such a thing to a lawyer's front door? They must be tired of living.As he reached for his phone to call the police, he hesitated. Who would call him a cheater? Aside from Iris, he hadn't done anyone else wrong.Had she finally lost her composure?It should have been an infuriating situation, there was no trace of anger on his face. Instead, a hint of excitement flickered in his eyes. He dialed Iris' number."Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently busy..."It was then that he remembered Iris had blocked him. He rubbed his forehead helplessly but assured himself that it was fine; he would make her come to him on her own.Early the next morning, Iris was awakened by a knock at her door. Upon opening it, she found two police officers standing outside."Are you Iris Glover?" one officer asked.Iris nodded, "Yes, that's me.""We received a police report and have come to ask you some questions," he said.The other offi

Stanley kept quiet. His expression darkened. Iris didn't have time to waste on chit-chat. "Did you check the surveillance footage?" she asked pointedly.Stanley hesitated. He had immediately assumed it was Iris and hadn't bothered to check the footage. Still, he feigned calmness. "I did.""The surveillance footage showed that I did it?" Iris did not believe it. She didn't do it, so there was no way he could pin it on her. "I want to see the footage." Stanley's gaze flickered guiltily."Don't tell me you have no evidence?" Iris challenged, glaring at him. "You're just speculating that it's me, aren't you? And you call yourself a lawyer – an elite lawyer, at that. Is this how you usually handle cases?""Are you done?" Stanley stood up, frustration evident on his face. "I'll show you the surveillance footage.""Okay," Iris replied.After they exited the law firm, Stanley opened the car door for her. "Get in."Without a glance at him, Iris said, "I'll drive myself."Stanley sti

Iris glared at Stanley, her heart stinging sharply. So in his eyes, her biggest value was doing laundry and cooking?"So, in your eyes, am I only worth doing laundry and cooking for you?" Bitterness surged in her throat, but she forced it back. She refused to shed another tear for him. "I guess I only have myself to blame," she said. She must have been blind when she chose someone like him to be her husband.Stanley realized that his words may have been a little hurtful, yet he stubbornly maintained his viewpoint. "You may not want to admit it, but that’s the reality. What you learned in school can't be fully applied in real life. You're used to working in the kitchen; your life revolved around me. You can't adapt to the deceit and politics of the workplace. Besides, you studied law, but you've abandoned it for too long – it's hard to pick it back up."Iris didn’t want to argue. Before she achieved anything significant, her words felt weak and futile. Her achievements would be her b

Mike nodded.He looked up at Iris. "I can't stand guys like him. I'm a man too, but I look down on men who cheat."He paused, anger bubbling up. "When I saw him kissing another woman, I got mad. It felt incredibly disrespectful to you. So, I went to his house and splashed his door with feces to disgust him. Did he look for you?""Yeah," Iris replied."Did I cause you trouble?" Mike asked. He had calmed down now and realized that he may have been too impulsive.Iris shook her head. "No, you didn't."She appreciated that Mike was looking out for her."Did you divorce him because he cheated?" Mike asked.Iris actually did not want to discuss such a painful topic, but she realized that she couldn't avoid it forever.She responded with a faint "mhm.""What a scumbag!" Mike exclaimed angrily."It's all in the past now," Iris said.Mike poured her a drink. "I understand how you feel, Iris."Despite having moved on, being reminded of her past with Stanley still made her feel a twi

Jason watched in disbelief."Ouch..." Iris groaned, struggling to get up. The food container had fallen to the ground, rolling to a stop against the wall.Jason walked over and, like lifting a small child, grabbed her arms and pulled her up."Ouch, ouch!" she cried out. She had twisted her ankle, unable to put any weight on it. "I can’t stand…" she said helplessly.In response, Jason lifted her into his arms. The sudden movement caught Iris off guard, and she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, her mind going blank in surprise.In the elevator, the space felt cramped and the air stagnant. Their bodies were close, breaths intertwining, creating an oddly intimate atmosphere. If it weren’t for the alcohol still clouding her mind, Iris would have wanted to find a hole to hide in to avoid the embarrassing situation."What floor?" his low voice broke the silence.Iris felt a bit more sober by now, but considering the situation, she could only pretend to be drunk still. S

Iris could no longer maintain her composure. Jason's expression suggested she had made a fool of herself when she was sleeping.Her grip on the coffee cup tightened. She accidentally crushed the paper, spilling coffee all over herself. It jolted her back to her senses. Mortified, she realized what she had just done. Once again, she had embarrassed herself in front of him. "What's wrong with me?" she thought frantically.Jason said, "We have to spend the night here. You’ll have to figure it out yourself." With that, he got into the car, leaving Iris speechless.She patted the coffee stains on her clothes, only to dirty her hands. Jason started the car, rolled down the window, and handed her a packet of tissues.Iris took it, murmuring, "Thank you." She wiped her hands and body. Although she wasn't totally clean, it was better than feeling damp. She settled in for the ride and placed the tissues on the back seat."Where are we going now?" she asked."We're going to eat, then head

"She doesn't lack anything..." Stanley muttered.Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Iris passing by outside the glass window. He could not be mistaken; after seven years together, her silhouette was etched into his memory."I have to use the restroom. You stay here and keep shopping," he told Fiora before striding out of the jewelry store and heading in the direction Iris had gone.Iris was standing in front of a flower stall, carefully admiring the blooms, seemingly wanting to buy a bouquet. In the past, whenever Jason returned home, he would see fresh flowers on the table and Iris bustling in the kitchen. Even when work was challenging, going home brought him comfort. But now, he found himself disliking going home. The maid couldn't even keep the most basic level of cleanliness, which caused him a lot of frustration.He slowed his pace as he approached her. Iris was caught between choosing sunflowers or daisies. The florist chimed in, "Ma'am, I think sunflowers suit you better."

"Okay. Good night, Mr. Just," Iris said."See you tomorrow," he said."See you tomorrow."…Iris was jolted awake the next morning by her phone ringing. Groggy, she reached for it. "Hello...""My husband changed his mind. He refuses to settle or drop the case now."The client's voice sounded anxious.Iris was instantly wide awake.Why would he change his mind overnight? She was going to handle all the procedures today to avoid further complications too."What happened?" Iris sat up, rubbing her eyes. "Take your time and explain in detail.""I don't know either. He just messaged me saying he regrets signing the settlement agreement and he won't drop the case. But he already signed the agreement. He can't change his mind anymore, right?" The client still held a glimmer of hope.Iris replied, "He can still change his mind."Under normal circumstances, changing one's mind after signing would be difficult. However, since she had half-tricked him into signing the agreement, if

Iris nodded helplessly. "You shouldn't have answered the phone." She felt a headache coming.She wasn't blaming Jason; it's just impossible to explain to her mother now.Since Jason answered her phone this late at night, her mother naturally assumed that Jason had been with her all evening.That was indeed the case today, but it wasn't in the way her parents thought."I can go meet your parents with you," Jason offered.Iris was surprised. Huh?Does he even know what he's saying?"Do you know who my mom thinks you are?" she asked.How could he suggest that without knowing anything?"She thinks I'm your boyfriend, right?" Jason smirked mischievously. "If you don't take me to see them, they'll definitely ask you even more questions. Wouldn't that be troublesome for you?""Besides," he added, "We worked so well together earlier. We're very in sync, right?"Iris was speechless."Actually, all I have to do is explain to them...""What if they set you up on a blind date?" Jaso

After hanging up, as Jason was about to leave the car, he heard a phone ringing. He traced the sound to Iris' phone lying on the passenger seat. She had left her phone in his car.Picking it up, he noticed "Mother" displayed on the screen and smiled, recalling the enthusiastic woman he had met the other day. It seemed he had a reason to look for Iris now.He exited the car and took the elevator to the ground floor, then headed to the building across the street.While waiting for the elevator in Iris' building, Iris' phone rang again. Jason wondered if he should answer. Iris' mother was calling repeatedly in the middle of the night, so there might be an emergency. After some hesitation, he decided to answer.Before he could speak, Cassie's voice came through the line. "Iris, happy birthday! Your dad and I are so busy today that I only have time to call you now. When are you free to visit us for dinner? Call me before you come; we'll skip work that day and stay home to spend the

Stanley was furious. He felt as if all the blood in his body was flowing to his head. If he had held onto any hope before, it was gone now. He realized that Iris was genuinely leaving him and had no intention of returning to his side.No!He could not accept that!Inside the car, Iris fastened her seatbelt, unfazed by Stanley's roar. Jason glanced at her, noticing her calm demeanor, and a slight smile tugged at the corners of his lips.He started the engine, and the car roared to life. He turned the steering wheel and pressed the gas pedal, and they drove away .Once they had left Riverside Pier, Iris said, "Thank you for acting with me."Jason's grip on the steering wheel tightened. "Don't you think we have great chemistry?"Iris considered this for a moment. "Indeed. I always thought you were a very serious person. I didn't expect you to...""To what?" he asked, glancing at her.Iris brushed her hair. "Just now, when you called me 'babe', I got goosebumps. I can't believ

"I'll take you home," Jason offered.Iris nodded. Stanley couldn't stand it any more. Disregarding how bad it made him look, he rushed forward and grabbed Iris' wrist. "Iris..."Iris turned around, her expression cold. "Can I help you, Mr. Stein?"Her tone was icy, causing a pang in Stanley's chest. "H-happy birthday." His voice was hoarse. "Iris, I made a mistake. Let's get back together..."Jason instinctively tightened his grip on Iris' shoulder.Iris sneered, tilting her head with eyes full of coldness. "Since you wished me a happy birthday, let me make a wish: I hope you never appear before me again. I hope my wish will come true.""Iris," Stanley's voice cracked with emotion.Iris raised her eyebrows and said fiercely, "Let go of my hand!"Instead of releasing her, Stanley tightened his grip, the veins in his hand bulging.That hurt Iris' arm."Mr. Stein," Jason interjected, prying Stanley's hand away. "Stop bothering her. This is unbecoming of you.""She's my wife

On the shore, Yvonne urged Iris to leave.The other yacht was drawing closer to the dock, and if Iris lingered any longer, she would inevitably run into Stanley. It had truly been an unlucky day for Yvonne. Nothing was going smoothly. First came Jason, an unexpected guest, and now came Stanley, a harbinger of bad luck."Iris, why is the day of your birth so unlucky?" Yvonne complained. Iris looked perplexed. Right then, the other yacht docked. Henry was the first to jump off. He hurried over to Yvonne. "Hey! You're here too? Why didn’t you call me to join you? We could have come together."Yvonne glanced at the three women who followed him down from the yacht. All of them were flaunting their legs, their skirts barely covering their bottoms, and their cleavages were on full display with their low necklines. Yvonne scoffed, "Come together? That would have ruined your fun.""C'mon, I'm not serious with them," Henry replied. He approached Yvonne and reached for her sleeve. "

Actually, it wasn't that the parents absolutely couldn't afford to raise her, it was more because they wanted a son, but with the family planning policy, they couldn't afford the payment to give birth to one more child, so they left the girl to be raised by the grandparents.The little girl passed away without ever having been registered in the household registration; she was considered undocumented. Getting her registered would require money the family simply didn't have. Or, perhaps, they felt that it wasn't necessary since she was just a girl.The girl's aunt – her uncle's wife, who also lived with the girl's grandparents – was unhappy because there was suddenly an extra mouth to feed. The aunt treated the girl very poorly. According to neighbors, the girl was often beaten and denied food. The grandparents didn't dare speak up, fearing they would upset their daughter-in-law.According to the villagers, the aunt had attacked the girl that day because the girl had stolen some bread

Jason remarked, "In this world, there is no such thing as absolute fairness."He thought Iris' view was still overly idealistic. There was a large gap between the things taught in law school and the cases that happened in the real world. Sometimes, bending the rules was necessary to achieve certain objectives, not just for the sake of making things fairer. The world has never been fair, no matter in which country.Iris fell silent. She knew that the world had never truly been fair. Many individuals were constrained by circumstances from the moment they were born. Some emerged from impoverished rural areas, needing relentless perseverance to change their fates, while others were born into wealth and luxury, their starting point already an unattainable goal for many. How could this not be seen as unfair? Fairness was absent from the moment of one's birth.Yet, wasn't her initial aspiration to study law rooted in the pursuit of fairness? If not, what was the point of law?"Mr. Just,

His now wide open collar revealed his sexy, slender neck. His Adam's apple moved as he spoke, his voice slightly hoarse, "Are you really okay?"Iris nodded, avoiding his gaze; she didn't dare meet his eyes directly. His gaze felt too affectionate. Earlier, he mentioned that she resembled the love of his life. Maybe he saw her as a substitute for his unrequited love?Yes, it must be so; otherwise, he wouldn't have looked at her with that kind of expression.Phew~She assured herself that Jason couldn't possibly have feelings for someone like her. It was fortunate she had realized this in time, avoiding any presumptuous thoughts. She felt relieved that she hadn't embarrassed herself in front of him."Um..." Just then, Denise approached, intending to inform them that Yvonne wanted to leave. Upon reaching the sun deck, she immediately spotted Jason hugging Iris.She realized she was intruding.Quietly, she turned to leave.However, Iris had seen her. "Denise," Iris called out
