Chapter 391

Brad took Iris to a banquet hall. When they arrived, she finally found out what Brad's surprise was.It was the annual "Best Rookie Award," a prestigious award ceremony in the legal field jointly organized by the Big Eight law firms. The firm had sent the notification three months ago, but she didn't intend to participate. She knew the award ceremony would be held today, but she didn't plan to attend because she didn't even sign up to compete for the award.Brad flashed a grin. "I signed you up."Iris' eyes widened. "You made a decision for me without consulting me again?"He waved it off. "Everyone at the firm recognizes your hard work. Despite some past conflicts, things are good now, and everyone acknowledges you. This award is rightfully yours."Brad seemed confident.Iris did not like the attention. She preferred to focus on her work rather than seek accolades."This award holds significant weight in our field. It will be beneficial if you want to be a partner at the firm i

She had worked very hard. Of course, so had the other rookies, but the case she recently handled had a significant impact — a law was amended because of it. Iris felt a mix of emotions as she stood on the award stage, reflecting on her journey from her divorce to this moment. The past two years had been filled with challenges and growth, and winning the "Best Rookie Award" felt like a validation of her hard work. It made her feel like her efforts were worth it.After the award ceremony concluded, Brad wanted her to treat him to a meal."If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have received this award. Shouldn't you reward me?" he asked with a smile on his face.He looked so happy that to an outsider, he seemed like the award recipient instead.Iris was not one to be stingy. "No problem. You can choose the restaurant.""Let's go to your place. I want you to cook for me. A meal made by you is more sincere," Brad suggested.Iris gave him a look. "Quite the picky eater, aren't you?"Bra

Inside the ward, Professor Sandler's weak yet cheerful voice resonated. "You came back just to see me. It makes me very happy.""Are you feeling better?" Jason asked. He was sitting in a chair next to the bed.After Professor Sandler finished drinking a glass of water, Jason took the glass from him, placed it on the table and continued, "I've hired a famous foreign doctor to treat you.""Oh, you shouldn't have. It's normal for old people like me to fall ill. I'm not a turtle, so I'm not going to live for a thousand years," Professor Sandler joked, though his expression quickly turned serious. "Aston came to see me. He mentioned something.""What is it?" Jason asked."Do you remember the article you wrote? You posted it anonymously because of your status, and it sparked a significant discussion on the university forum at the time. Iris even studied that article with me. She could understand the significance behind that article. She could understand your point of view."It wasn't u

Jason's tall figure was striking. Even when he was just standing casually, he was eye-catching. His well-fitted suit radiated elegance and sophistication.He offered a slight nod, and his gaze landed on Iris.Despite the distance, Iris felt the weight of his stare, compelling her to lower her eyes."Are you leaving already?" Yvonne asked.Jason acknowledged her question with a brief nod but lingered for a moment longer. Yvonne looked between him and Iris before tactfully entering the ward.Iris raised her head, striving to suppress her emotions, but as she spoke, they spilled over into her voice. "Long time... no see."Jason did not respond. His gaze wrapped around her like vines, holding her in place."How long have you been here?" he asked, his voice deep and low."Not long. I just got here," she replied, trying her best to look like she was doing well."Is that Iris outside?" Professor Sandler's voice interjected. Iris said, "I better go in.""Mmh," Jason acknowledged so

Iris lifted her gaze, sincerity reflecting in her eyes as she spoke to Professor Sandler. "Emotionally, I'm happy, but rationally, I wish he hadn't come back."Perhaps with another year or two, she would have moved on completely. Perhaps then, she wouldn't feel so flustered and emotional when she saw him again like she did earlier.Professor Sandler's bright eyes dimmed instantly, disappointment creeping into his heart. "It seems you and Jason are ultimately not destined to be together," he sighed. "I always thought you two were a good match. Besides Yvonne, you're the one I worry about the most. When Jason returned this time, I had hoped perhaps you two could overcome your obstacles and be together. But it seems I won't get to see that happen while I'm alive.""Prof," Iris said, her eyes reddening, "You'll live until you're a hundred years old."Professor Sandler chuckled lightly. "Jason even hired a foreign doctor for me. Does he want me to live to a hundred too?""Of course. We

However, she felt like she had already said everything that needed to be said. Yvonne was an adult with her own thoughts, and saying more wouldn't be helpful."Just make sure you think it through," Iris advised."Mmh," Yvonne offered a brief smile.Iris emerged from the bathroom with the water. She placed it on the table, wrung out a towel, and carefully helped Professor Sandler dry his hands and face, taking her time to ensure he would not feel uncomfortable.Yvonne joined in, assisting with the task. Once they finished, Iris went to pour the water away while Yvonne massaged her grandfather's shoulders.Professor Sandler cherished their presence, his heart feeling warm. "Having both of you by my side makes me very content.""I'll always be here for you, so you must take care of your body. You must live until you see your great-grandchildren," Yvonne said."Great-grandchildren? When? You're not even married yet," Professor Sandler asked, affectionately patting her hand. "Don't r

Iris took a deep breath and headed to the bathroom.After showering and drying her hair, she let her hair fall loose — something she rarely did. Though she typically avoided makeup, she decided to apply a light touch this time. Her wardrobe was filled with suits suitable for work, but none felt right for meeting someone she liked.Eventually, her hand landed on a dress in her closet, one that Yvonne had insisted she buy during their only shopping trip over the past year.She changed into the dress and stood in front of the mirror, feeling momentarily dazed. How long had it been since she dressed like this? She couldn't even recall.Tucking her hair behind her ears, she felt that this look was appropriate. She checked the time and realized it was time to leave.She slipped on a pair of high heels. She usually opted for black shoes, but this time, she chose a delicate pair adorned with shimmering diamonds. Her small feet looked even more slender and fair in them.Her exposed lower

Over the past year, she had matured and gained depth, her charm blossoming through various experiences. While her face remained unchanged, the essence she exuded had transformed."Thank you for sending Samuel to check on me last time," she said, lowering her eyes as she placed washed tomatoes on the cutting board.Jason grabbed her hand gently. "Let me do it." She glanced up, their eyes meeting momentarily before she looked away. "Can you manage?""I've learned it," he replied."Why did you learn to cook?" She was surprised, knowing he had a busy schedule.Because Iris had always cooked for him, he decided to learn cooking so that he could help her when she cooked instead of just standing around. However, telling her that now would only burden her, so he stayed silent. Iris didn't ask again.They had developed a good understanding after spending a year together.After dinner, they stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, enjoying the view. Jason poured her a glass of red wine. "Y

She panted softly, her eyes reflecting a mix of desire and blurriness. Her grip tightened.Perhaps it was due to the long period of emptiness. Or perhaps, it was due to the overwhelming emotions of their long-awaited reunion.The tough exterior she had maintained finally crumbled. "I heard your conversation with Professor Sandler. I could never have imagined the person I admired would be you..." she said, her voice hoarse."I've fallen in love with you even earlier than that," he replied."What do you love about me?" She felt her past self had little worth beyond her youth. Jason studied her face. Perhaps he was just attracted to her face and her eyes at first, but what made him truly fall for her was her personality.He brushed his warm lips against her neck, his breath warm by her ear. "There's no reason," he murmured before kissing her passionately, a possessive urgency in his mouth.Iris' cheeks flushed, her body weakening as beads of sweat formed on her forehead. This ki

Jason's clothes were disheveled, with several buttons on his collar undone. Iris vaguely remembered that she was the one who undid those buttons. His trousers were wrinkled, and his shirt hung loosely from his belt, a stark contrast to his usual polished appearance.He lowered his head and saw how untidy he was.Iris stepped closer, helping him button his shirt. Jason held her hand, looking into her eyes. "I can wait for you.""What will time change?" she replied, withdrawing her hand. Her mind was now clear, no longer lost in the intensity of the moment. She could think clearly now. "Don't bother taking me home. I'll go back on my own."Jason grabbed her hand again."Don't make this difficult for me," she pleaded, pulling her hand away."I'll be in the country for half a month. Will we meet again?" he asked hopefully.She pursed her lips. "Maybe.""Good night." She turned and walked quickly towards the elevator, which had conveniently arrived on their floor. As she stepped i
