Iris was accustomed to being in control. As the Deputy CEO of Parker's Hospitality Company, she held a position of power and authority. However, the events of the previous night had left her feeling humiliated, not only by her own father but also by strangers.The humiliation she experienced was overwhelming, and it seemed as though she needed to redeem herself or risk succumbing to depression. Just as the door was about to close, she couldn't hold back her emotions any longer and let out a desperate cry."I didn't drug you. I don't even know you. Maybe you were the one who drugged me because I can't recall much either," she pleaded, her voice trembling with tears. Despite her vulnerability, she hoped that the man would understand that she was not to blame. Unfortunately, her hopes were shattered when he turned back towards her, his expression filled with anger."Drug you? Do you honestly believe you're worth my time? For all I know, you've been spying on me. So, who put you up to

A surge of rage coursed through him as he fretted over his daughter's recent encounter with a mysterious man. He had painstakingly handpicked the most suitable suitors for her, only to have her spend the night with some unknown scoundrel. To make matters worse, she shamelessly wore the man's shirt, causing immense embarrassment for Mr. Austin Parker, who had always taken pride in boasting about Iris' accomplishments and impeccable behavior to his friends and colleagues."Dad, I'm fine, and isn't that all that matters?" Iris averted her gaze from her father's disappointed stare, feeling a surge of anger towards herself."Who is that man?" Austin rose from the couch and approached her, but Iris headed towards the medicine cabinet to grab some pills. The journey had taken a toll on her, leaving her stomach in knots and a lingering hangover. She pondered whether she should disclose the truth to her father regarding Garvin Baret. However, considering the men he had chosen to potentially

Attached to the note, Garvin found another paper containing a list of items he would need for the baby, along with the child's date of birth, the time of the last feeding, and the time for the next feeding. At the end of the note, it stated, ‘I named him Cooper.’"Cooper Barrett it is," Garvin whispered to himself, his gaze fixed on the peacefully sleeping baby with a blue pacifier in his mouth. He stared at him for a long time, gently caressing his soft cheek, careful not to wake him. In that moment, it felt as if time stood still, and Garvin couldn't help but smile at his mini-self."Sir, she has already left," the security man's words abruptly interrupted Garvin's blissful moment. Anger surged within him."Then go and find her, and don't return until you do," Garvin snapped, his frustration evident.The security man froze, unsure of how to respond. He wanted to inform his boss that they had been unable to locate the woman, but it was clear that Garvin was in no mood to hear any ne

On his way to the office, Garvin decided to call Luna and ask her to arrange a meeting with Cooper's babysitter. He realized it was about time to meet the woman his son and Luna were absolutely infatuated with, solely for the sake of finding some peace of mind. "Luna, please set up a meeting with Cooper's babysitter," Garvin requested over the phone.Luna, filled with excitement, responded, "Finally, Garvin! You've agreed to meet Iris. I'm certain you'll love her."Garvin, annoyed by Luna's assumption, quickly clarified, "I'm only doing this for Cooper's sake.""It doesn't matter. Once you meet Iris, you'll see how amazing she is," Luna insisted.Before Luna could continue, Garvin abruptly ended the call. Despite his irritation, he couldn't stay mad at Luna, who had always been like a mother to him.Garvin prided himself on treating women as men, never succumbing to their charms. He believed that meeting Cooper's babysitter would not change his perspective on this matter.As Garvin

"Iris, you should send Curtis to school this morning," her father suggested.Iris, who had just kissed Curtis goodbye, turned around to face her father. "Is there a problem, Dad?""It seems like you're not going to take the offer," her father replied calmly, referringto Iris's plan to send Curtis to his father.Ever since they agreed to Iris's plan, her father had secretly hoped that Garvin would reject Cooper after hearing Iris's description of him. However, they soon discovered how possessive Garvin was of his son. They even hired someone to take secret pictures, which revealed Garvin proudly carrying Cooper everywhere since infancy.Iris had been missing her son and had been trying to find a way back into his life. Four years ago, she managed to become his babysitter by pulling some strings.Yesterday, she informed her parents about Garvin's request to meet her, unaware that it was actually the other way around.
