"What did he say?" Henry asked. He thought he caught the name Iris.Lester shook his head. "I can’t tell. Let’s go."Henry nodded.In the middle of the night, Stanley threw up, filling the room with a foul stench.His mouth was parched. He felt like a stranded fish, nearly drowning in thirst. "Water, water..." he mumbled.In the past, whenever he got drunk, Iris would stay by his side the whole night. She would pour him water when he was thirsty and comfort him if he felt unwell.He had never felt this terrible before. He felt like he was dying.In the morning, the maid arrived to clean the house. Since Iris wasn’t around, he had hired a maid to handle the chores. Half-asleep, he opened his eyes to see the maid mopping the floor. Frowning, he recalled the way the stale smell in the room had nearly made him pass out the night before. He couldn’t believe he had spent the night in such an environment."Open the windows for some fresh air," he croaked, his throat dry and hoar

Chapter 32

He found it really childish. He couldn’t recall ever fastening a seatbelt for Iris; she had never asked him to do it for her either. Iris had a gentle and innocent face that invited fantasy, but she was actually very bold.He shook his head, frustrated that he kept thinking of her."Let's go to the Pedestrian Walk," Fiora suggested. She had planned the outing after doing research online. Besides shops, the Pedestrian Walk was also lined with maple trees. Even in winter, with the leaves fallen, the snow adorning the branches lent a unique charm to the scenery.Stanley merely grunted in agreement. When they arrived at the destination, Fiora exited the car first while he searched for a parking spot. Just then, his phone rang.He answered via Bluetooth, and his mother's voice came through. "How are you getting along with the Just girl? Remember, she's raised in luxury, unlike Iris, so don’t you go treating her like..."Before she could finish, Stanley hung up. He parked the car an

Chapter 33

"It's not for me; it's for you," Iris said with a smile.Cassie's eyes widened in shock. "For me?"Dennis chimed in, "She's bought things for you before. Why are you so surprised?""Well, I made her angry not too long ago..." Cassie trailed off."This time, it's different," Iris interrupted with a smile. "Everything I bought for you in the past, I bought with Stanley's money. This time... I’m using the money I earned myself.""You got a job?" Cassie asked, surprised.Iris nodded affirmatively.There was a hint of melancholy in Cassie's expression. "Well, that's good." She was worried if her daughter could adapt to the working world, given that she had never held a job before.Iris sensed her mother’s concern and assured her, "Mom, relying on myself is better than relying on others. My skills are the only things that are truly mine."Cassie nodded hard. "You're right."Iris then picked a 20-gram gold bracelet for her mother. It wasn’t large, but she had only earned $3000, so s

Chapter 34

She feared her daughter would get upset if she saw Stanley with the woman.Dennis' Adam's apple bobbed emotionally as he muttered, "I feel like beating him up."Cassie was worried that her husband might actually try to hit Stanley. He might have been strong enough when he was younger, but he's old now. He could get beaten up instead.Iris soon emerged from the coffee shop. Cassie quickly walked up to her and tried to drag her away. "Let's go to the restaurant. I'm so hungry."Iris agreed, but when she noticed her father's red eyes, she asked with a frown, "Did you give Dad a hard time again while I was gone?""No, why would I do that?" Cassie retorted, her voice rising defensively. She had taken Iris' words to heart and had become much gentler with her husband. Without her mother-in-law's nagging, she found it easier to stay calm and was less irritable than before.But seeing Dennis' eyes that were still red, Cassie instantly became deflated. "I couldn't control my temper. I won'

Chapter 35

Fiora was startled. "Oh my god, are you blind? Watch where you're going! You spilled coffee all over my boyfriend!"Iris took a step back, her gaze only stopping briefly on Stanley before flickering towards the girl who was furious that Iris had spilled coffee on him.The girl was strikingly beautiful, with a smooth, round face and deep, expressive eyes. Dressed in a white down jacket, she exuded an air of purity and elegance, reminiscent of a blooming lotus – exactly the type that Stanley liked."My boyfriend's clothes are very expensive..." the girl continued indignantly."Those expensive clothes can't cover up his filthy body," Iris remarked as she walked past Stanley."You're so rude!" Fiora shot back, glaring at Iris. "Can you believe how rude she is?"Stanley brushed off the coffee stain from his suit jacket and glanced back at Iris, a cold scoff tugging at his lips. "Some people simply have no manners. Ignore her."His voice, neither loud nor soft, echoed clearly in the u

Chapter 36

Stanley's stomach had not been feeling that well for the past few days, and the spicy food only exacerbated his discomfort. He furrowed his brow without saying anything, giving his silent consent to leave. They settled the bill and exited the restaurant. The cold weather kept the streets relatively empty, with only a few pairs of pedestrians braving the chill while sticking close to each other for warmth."It's so cold," Fiora shivered, glancing up at Stanley, hoping he would wrap her in an embrace. However, he walked straight to the car as if he didn't hear her, leaving her pouting in disappointment. Once inside the car, she asked, "Can I go to your place, Stanley?""Sure," he replied casually. Fiora's disappointment faded, replaced by a bright smile as they drove to his home.Upon entering, Fiora noticed a maid preparing tortellini. Curiosity piqued, she approached and asked, "Why are you making so much tortellini?"The maid explained, "Mr. Stein wants it for breakfast, but

Chapter 37

Stanley looked up to find Fiora's eyes filled with anticipation, reminiscent of how Iris used to gaze at him.However, that spark had faded from Iris' eyes long ago."Thank you," he said, acknowledging her effort.Fiora shook her head vigorously. "It's nothing. I'm willing to do anything for you."Seemingly nostalgic for the taste of tortellini, he spooned up a piece and sampled it. It was not the flavor that he was familiar with, lacking the usual chewy texture. The skin was overcooked and melted in his mouth. It tasted like salty noodle soup and did not go down smoothly. He furrowed his brow.This was not how tortellini should taste at all.It's completely different from the tortellini he remembered."Is it delicious?" Fiora asked, her eyes sparkling with hope."I'm not that hungry," he replied.Disappointment flashed across her face. "Does it taste bad?""No, I'm just not hungry," he reiterated, "It's getting late; you should go home."Fiora stared right at him and as

Chapter 38

"How would I know?" Lester settled onto the couch, intrigued. "If both Stanley and Ted find out that Iris is dancing at a bar, who do you think will show up first?""Haha..." Henry laughed. "You're so bad.""Hey, it's all in good fun." Lester raised an eyebrow at Henry. "Let's make a bet. Whoever guesses right wins. The loser pays for all the expenses tonight – what do you say?"Henry swung his hand confidently. "Deal. I'm not afraid of you. I bet... Ted will come first."After all, Ted had confessed his feelings for Iris in front of them not too long ago. With Iris and Stanley now divorced, it seemed the perfect opportunity for him to make a move. If he knew Iris was at the bar alone, he would certainly rush over.Lester shrugged. "Then I'll go with Stanley."Henry whipped out his phone and sent a message, tagging everyone in their small group chat, which consisted of just the four of them. The message was: [I just saw Iris at XX bar].Lester checked his phone, eager to see who

Yvonne, who was next to Iris, naturally heard it too. She couldn't help but remark sarcastically, "Wow, how generous of Stanley Stein."She quickly added with a cold snort, "He's just Iris' ex-husband. Does he really have the right to give permissions? Who does he think he is?"Although Iris had long been aware of Stanley's scummy nature by now, her heart still turned cold."Sister-in-law, come sit here," Lester offered enthusiastically, standing up and gesturing for Iris to take his seat.Iris firmly replied, "Call me by my name from now on."She did not go over. Instead, she chose the corner seat next to Yvonne, who was sitting next to Ted.Henry and Lester settled opposite them."Sorry, force of habit," Lester smiled. "It won't happen again."Henry poured wine for Iris. "Here you go, si... Iris."As the wine filled the glass, he sighed. "Calling you by your name feels weird."Yvonne glanced at them. "You'll get used to it."Leaning back on the sofa with a playful glint in

Chapter 40

So, he went to the entrance. He watched Iris getting into a car with Ted. Pulling out his phone, he snapped a quick picture and sent it to Stanley with the message: [Ted's putting in a lot of work. He might actually end up with her.]Stanley, who was still awake, grabbed his phone at the sound of the notification and saw the image of Iris climbing into Ted's car. He sat up in bed, staring intently at the picture. He pulled up Lester's contact but hesitated to call, his pride holding him back. Words eluded him, and annoyance bubbled up – was Iris really accepting Ted's pursuit?He soon dismissed his concerns . Ted was not Iris' type. After he managed to convince himself, he lay back down and drifted into sleep.Meanwhile, Lester waited for Stanley's reply, but none came. He glanced at his phone screen, shaking his head. "I hope you won't regret being so stubborn tonight."He bore witness to Iris and Stanley's seven-year relationship. He knew that Stanley loved Iris just as much
