Chapter 481

She thought of her parents.In their era, society's mindset was different. Everyone wanted a son to carry on the family line. Not having a son would invite ridicule, especially in poorer regions where this belief was deeply ingrained. Back then, her parents were often mocked by their relatives. But looking back now, her parents had found solace in each other. She was their daughter, but she rarely spent time with them.Professor Sandler had a son, but he still felt lonely, with no one to keep him company.Therefore, the happiness in one's old age doesn't depend on how many children one has, or whether they are sons or daughters, but on having a spouse who can grow old together, support each other, and keep each other company.If Professor Sandler's wife were still around, she would have been there to keep him company, and he wouldn't have been so lonely.Leaning on Jason's shoulder, she said, "I know you're busy, but you should spend more time with your parents. When people grow

She shook her head to clear her mind of these troubling thoughts. She asked Jason with a smile, "Which country are we going to? How's the weather there?""Fiji."Iris blinked. Wasn't the beaches at Maldives, Bali, or Hawaii more picturesque? Fiji was a less common destination."You won't be disappointed. Go pack your things," Jason said."Okay." Iris went to her room. Since it was a country where they could go to the sea in winter, the weather must be warm, so she packed some light clothing.She also packed some skincare products and daily necessities. She packed lightly, as Jason had already made arrangements and told her she didn't need to bring much.After packing her things into a suitcase, she decided to talk to Elise.When she walked out of the bedroom, there was no one in the living room; Jason wasn't there. Frowning, she wondered if he had gone downstairs.She didn't think much of it and headed towards the guest room. Gently pushing the door open, she saw Elise sitting

"Okay." Vince looked like he wanted to say something, but Elise was already gone.Iris told Vince, "Vince, I have to go abroad for a while. You and Elise can stay here while I'm gone. I've also arranged for someone to find Rachel, so don't worry too much. Be good to Elise during this time. The baby is still young; his family can't break apart.""Okay." Vince seemed to have a lot to say to Iris. His eyes were full of gratitude. "Iris..."A grown man like him was surprisingly choking up. "Thank you, to you and your boyfriend.""Huh?" Iris asked, "How do you know that Jason's helping you find Rachel? Did he tell you?""What? He's the one helping us find Rachel? He didn't tell me. I want to thank him because he offered me a job," Vince said excitedly. "The salary is forty thousand dollars a year."Iris looked at Vince in astonishment.Vince grabbed Iris' shoulders. "I can't thank you enough. When my restaurant ran into trouble, it was you and your boyfriend who helped me too. And

"What's this? Why are you so affectionate all of a sudden?" Jason hugged her waist.Iris looked up. "Thank you, Jason."His gaze lingered on her face, a faint smile playing on his lips. "They're your relatives; of course I have to help."A warm feeling spread in her chest, and Iris buried her head in his embrace. "Don't be so good to me."She would fall for him.She would fall head over heels for him."But I want to be good to you," Jason stroked her cheek, his fingertips tender and affectionate as they gently caressed her face.Iris looked up, the moist in her eyes concealing the emotions within. The faint smile on her face subtly conveyed her affection.She leaned in and lightly touched her lips with his, then quickly pulled back."I'll take a shower and get changed," she quickly left his embrace.Jason was stunned at first, but a faint smile soon appeared on his face.After closing the bathroom door, Iris stood in front of the sink, looking at herself in the mirror.She

Jason wrapped his arms around her shoulders. "What about fireworks?""Huh?" Iris turned to look at Jason. "Who would set off fireworks..."Before she could finish her sentence, a burst of fireworks exploded in the sky, illuminating the beautiful night with vibrant colors. Following that, an elegant arc streaked across the sky, bursting into a magnificent display of colors. One after another, fireworks lit up the sky, making the entire city shine."It's so beautiful," Iris gazed out the window, her eyes reflecting the colorful lights."Did you prepare this as well?" she asked.Jason asked, "Do you like it?"Of course, Donahue was also the one who came up with this idea.Iris nodded. She liked it. She really liked it. She really, really liked it."You're so cute." She suddenly felt touched by Jason's awkward romantic gestures.She leaned on Jason. "Thank you.""You've thanked me so many times today. Don't be so polite with me," Jason said.Iris didn't know why she said that.

"My cousin's baby is so cute and cuddly. With your good genes, our baby will surely be smart and lovable. Having a baby with you doesn't sound so bad. Even if we don't get married, I can raise the child on my own. With my income, I can easily afford to raise a child."Jason was speechless.What did she take him for?"Hah." He pinched Iris' cheek. "Dream on. If you get pregnant, I'll marry you. It's a package deal, buy one free one.""I don't want to get married.""You have to."Jason lifted her up and carried her to the bedroom.He placed her on the big, soft bed. Her body sank into the fluffy covers.His robust body then pressed down on her. She hastily pushed against his chest. "You said taking pills is bad for the body.""You said you'll just give birth if you get pregnant.""I... I was just kidding. You actually believed that? You're a famous lawyer; how can you fall for such a simple lie?"Jason chuckled softly. "Glib-tongued."Iris chuckled as well, and as they laughe

Then his injury was worth it."Where's Mr. Just?" He instinctively glanced towards the door."He went to see the doctor to ask about your condition," Iris said.Samuel felt grateful. "I'm an orphan. I'm lucky Mr. Just took me under his wing. Oh, right. I heard from Mr. Just that you paid my hospital bills? How much was it? I'll pay you back," Samuel grabbed his phone.Iris declined. "It wasn't much. I only made the first payment; the rest was covered by Jason.""Thank you anyway." Samuel suddenly understood what Jason liked about Iris.It wasn't just her good looks.She had a kind heart too.Just then, Jason walked in.He stood by the bed. "The doctor said you just need rest. You'll be fine after a while.""Thank you, Mr. Just." Samuel had heard from the hospital staff that Jason had arranged for the best doctor to perform his surgery.He was also staying in a VIP single ward, with a professional caregiver looking after him."You should just focus on recovering in the hospi

"The Morris family?" Jason chewed on those two words."Yes. Fraud crimes are rampant in Northern Burrma, and they're basically monopolized by the four major families. This is the detailed information of the Morris family and the other three major families," the man handed a file to Jason."I see. You may go," Jason said."Since you just got here, would you like me to send a few people over to assist you?" the man asked.Jason nodded. "Send a few men who are reliable and trained in combat.""Got it."As the man was walking out, he spotted Iris. Since she was already seen, Iris decided to open the door and walk out.The man nodded at her and left.The door closed.Iris walked over to Jason and sat down on the couch. She looked at the file he was holding."Is it hard?" she asked.She knew that Northern Burrma was a very unsafe country, and with the prevalence of underground industries, she was worried about Jason putting himself in danger to help her cousin.Moreover, she had

"Huh? It's already so late, there's not much else we can do today. If you want to check out the temple, let's do it since I happen to be free now," Jason said."Okay," she replied eagerly.She then looked at him.Jason frowned slightly. "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"Iris withdrew her gaze. She just felt that Jason was too kind to her.He's spoiling her too much.She didn't have to worry about anything when she was with him.He also cared about her feelings and went along with whatever she said."Let's go," she said, pulling Jason along."By the way, did you not bring any casual clothes? You're always wearing formal clothes," Iris held his hand. "When we go to Fiji, can you not dress so formally?""Sure, but..." he leaned in, deliberately whispering in her ear, "you have to buy the clothes for me."The heat of his words fell directly on her sensitive earlobe.Iris instinctively shrank her head back. "Why should I buy them for you?"

Jason knew the reason for her sudden tenderness.He lifted her chin. "Don't feel burdened. I don't want you to be nice to me just to repay me."What he wanted was her love.Even if she didn't love him now, he could wait."Everything I do for you, I do willingly. I'm not doing these things to make you feel grateful to me."Gratitude was indeed part of the reason, but not the entire reason. Iris also just wanted to be a bit nicer to him. To be honest, she's not even doing that much for him."Does this even count as being nice to you?" Did she treat him so terribly before that even the slightest kindness from her was noticeable to him? It seemed like she had failed as a girlfriend."Go shower," Iris removed his shirt for him.He had a robust physique. Due to a life of luxury, his skin was delicate and smooth, not rough at all."Okay." As he walked to the bathroom, he undid his belt.Iris casually draped his shirt over a chair and sat on the couch. She picked up the book nearby a
