"Yeah," Jason replied lightly, his gaze lingering on her face before asking, "Which building do you live in?"Iris pointed to the highrise on her right. "Unit 2 in Building 1, a single apartment.""I live across from you," he said.Iris glanced at the opposite building, recalling that her landlord had mentioned it during her rental process. The opposite building wasn't an apartment building."Well, I'll see you tomorrow," she said, eager to escape. She felt embarrassed getting caught crying at her age."Okay," Jason replied.She quickly walked into the building. As he watched her running away from him, a smile appeared on his face.Iris opted to skip the elevator, climbing the stairs to the sixth floor instead. Panting, she opened the door and set her things on the table. After pouring herself a glass of water and drinking it, she reflected on her earlier awkwardness. Why should she feel embarrassed? Everyone has moments of weakness; she's human, not a god. It's perfectly

Renee laughed and looked at Cassie disdainfully. "Did you hear that? Your daughter and my son are divorced, so stop bothering my son."Cassie's eyes wavered. She told Stanley, "I apologize on Iris' behalf."Stanley let out a cold chuckle. "Even if you kneel and beg, it won't change anything. Your daughter said she would rather die than come back to me."There was bitterness in his tone.He admitted that Iris' words had wounded him.He had his pride too.He was too proud to humble himself to ask to get back together after what Iris had said.Besides, he thought to himself, she was not the only woman in the world. There were many women who were more beautiful than she was."Get over here and apologize to Stanley at once!" Cassie yelled at Iris.Iris felt a bitter taste in her throat. She grabbed her mother's arm. "Let's go, Mom.""Now that you're divorced, stop showing up in front of my son, you hear me? I never approved of this mismatched marriage in the first place. I'm glad

It was so brief that Iris wondered if she was seeing things."Come with me," Jason said."Where are we going?" she asked."Just do as your boss says and stop asking so many questions," he replied, moving forward. Iris jogged to keep pace with him."Mr. Just, I have a request," she said."Go ahead," he said, still walking briskly."Can you slow down a little?" she asked.Jason stopped and turned to look at her. His gaze slowly dropped down to her legs. "Oh, I see. It's because you have short legs," he remarked seriously.Iris was speechless. She was considered tall among women, with a figure comparable to a model's. How were her legs short?Jason resumed walking, but at a slower pace, allowing her to keep up without jogging. The person Jason took Iris to meet was a very important figure. Iris had no idea who the person was, but she came to that conclusion based on the meeting place and the content of their conversation.They were discussing a rather complex international cas

Ted knew that, even though Yvonne was helping him, her real intention was to anger Stanley.However, Ted was more focused on Iris' feelings than Yvonne's motives. With hopeful eyes, he turned to Iris."Iris, please give me a chance," he implored. "I'll never hurt you like Stanley did. I would give my life for you."In the past, such heartfelt words would have moved Iris to tears. But after the heartbreak she experienced, she would not trust a man that easily anymore. Even if it meant hurting Ted, she had to be honest. "Ted, I've just divorced, and you know the reason for the divorce. I can't do it. I'm sorry."Ted's lips tightened, and his brow furrowed. "Perhaps I was too hasty. I've been waiting for this chance for so long that I failed to consider your feelings. I'll give you some time, so please don't reject me just yet."Yvonne nudged Iris playfully. "If he can transition to another relationship right away, why should you hesitate?"Iris shot back coldly, "He's a dog. Am I a

Ted's silence all but confirmed it. Stanley felt his mood lift. He smirked. "Let me buy you a drink.""Not interested," Ted rejected the invitation.Stanley continued, "If you want to pursue her, go ahead. We're divorced, so you have every right to try. I don't know if you'll succeed though." His last words dripped with confidence, as he believed Iris had rejected Ted because she still loved him.All his frustration had faded away. "I may have gone too far that day," he admitted, his tone softening. Ted was not an unreasonable person. They had been close friends for years."You're the one who said I could pursue her. Don't you regret it," Ted said.It was indeed inappropriate for him to be in love with someone else's wife before this. He could overlook what happened that day, but he wanted to gauge Stanley's current stance."Go ahead," Stanley reiterated.Satisfied, Ted responded, "We'll put what happened that day behind us. Let's go." He opened the car door and climbed in.T
