All Chapters of Moving On from a Cheater: Chapter 391 - Chapter 400

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

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

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

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

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
