"It's okay, Aunt Kendra, we'll go home and come back tomorrow. We both drive, so it won't be a hassle," Iris quickly declined. She would be fine with staying overnight if she were alone, but she was with Jason, and she worried he would feel uncomfortable spending the night in her aunt's house. She also didn't want to impose on her aunt's family since they would have to cook and prepare a room for the two of them."Why don't you stay for dinner then? It's already so late," Kendra insisted.Iris replied, "We can just grab something on the way back. It's been a rough day for you. You should go home and make some food for Elise instead. Miscarriages can really affect a woman's health."Recalling Elise's miscarriage, Kendra sighed. "I thought I would be playing with my grandchild soon. How unfortunate," she said, frustrated.Iris kept quiet. It was truly unfortunate.Kendra's family didn't do anything wrong. They merely ran an ordinary restaurant. Yet, a murder had occurred there and t

Jessica smiled. After giving her son a look, she stepped back into the house. "You must be Jason's girlfriend.""Huh?" Iris looked at Jason, unsure how to respond. They had only just started dating, and had he already told his family about her?Leaning casually against the wall, Jason wore a mix of helplessness and amusement. "If you scare her off, you have to find a new girlfriend for me," he joked.Jessica shot him a glare. "You tried to trick me." No wonder he allowed her to check his room earlier. It was reverse psychology, and she fell for it.She turned her attention back to Iris, her demeanor softening. "I'm Jessica, Jason's mother. Don't be nervous."Iris managed a polite smile. "Hi, Jessica."Jessica quickly assessed Iris, her satisfaction evident as she noted Iris' beauty and figure. "Come, have a seat," she invited warmly.After some hesitation, Iris walked over. She glanced back at Jason, her expression pleading for support.He stepped closer, wrapping an arm around

"How long will it take for you to love me wholeheartedly? Five years? Ten years? Twenty years? Fifty years? A lifetime?" Jason kept his voice steady, devoid of any fluctuations.Iris avoided his gaze. "I don't know."Jason chuckled softly. "That's okay; I can wait."His tone deepened, lingering in the air. "I'll wait as long as it takes."Iris felt her heart tremble at his words.She lowered her head, murmuring, "Don't be like this.""Like what?" he asked.Jason's attitude was giving her a lot of pressure."Kiss me," he said. Iris was taken aback. "I haven't brushed my teeth...""I don't mind." His hand that was resting around her waist rubbed her skin through the fabric, sending a tingling sensation through her.To get it over with, she slowly leaned in. When they were mere millimeters apart, Jason tilted his head, closing the distance.Their lips touched, breaths mingling.Jason leaned forward, and she leaned back.She attempted to pull away.But Jason threaded his fi

Samuel immediately figured out what was happening. [Try your best to persuade Ms. Fiora not to get her hands dirty. I'll be right there.][Understood.]The bodyguard stepped forward and said, "Ms. Fiora."Fiora nodded. She then cast a disdainful glance at the three men behind him, particularly at Walder, who visibly trembled at her presence.Seeing Fiora instilled a deep fear in him; his legs felt weak beneath him. This woman was ruthless."Mmh..." Wendy's eyes widened in shock upon spotting her cousin. They had been caught!Seeing their frightened expressions, she realized they must have sold her out.Fury surged within Wendy. How could they be so stupid?!If they had just insisted that it was all Iris' doing, they could have easily redirected Fiora's wrath onto Iris. Fiora and Iris would then fight each other, allowing her to benefit in the end.But these idiots had ruined everything!No wonder Fiora wanted to deal with her!Walder had also noticed Wendy. His gaze was ev

What shocked Wendy was Fiora's background. She carried herself with an air of authority, like a queen, and her bodyguards and subordinates treated her with the utmost respect.The woman could have easily found herself a better man than Stanley. Why was she competing with her for Stanley?In Wendy's social circle, Stanley was the most desirable choice. Therefore, Wendy would do anything to secure him for herself. He could change her destiny. By marrying him, she could elevate her social status and provide a better future for her children.But why would Fiora want a divorced man like Stanley? Was it love? The thought was laughable to Wendy. In this world, didn't everyone weigh their options to make the better choice for themself? Wasn't love just a side product?Wendy harbored love for Stanley too, but her urgent desire to elevate her status through him outweighed that love.She tried to stand but found herself unable to due to the ropes binding her. They restricted her movements
