Lahat ng Kabanata ng Moving On from a Cheater: Kabanata 401 - Kabanata 410

Thinking of that, warmth flushed Iris' cheeks. She wrapped herself in the blanket.Was she so easily seduced because she had been lonely for too long? Or was it because she liked him?She had no answer.The exhilaration of surrendering to those emotions was undeniable, and the memory of Jason's heated body and lingering kisses haunted her thoughts.That kind of physical sensation could be very addictive.Suddenly, the notification sound from her phone broke the silence. She got up to check, only to find it was a message from Brad. Disappointment washed over her; she had hoped it was Jason.[Good night, Iris. Sweet dreams.]She chuckled softly. She would be happy if she could fall asleep tonight, let alone having sweet dreams. She took a deep breath and replied: [Good night.]Setting her phone down, she wandered to the window, staring out at the dim lights, feeling an acute sense of loneliness. She went out of the room to grab a beer. When she opened the fridge, she saw Brad

Brad remarked, "I'm happy because I'm thinking about someone I like."Iris raised her eyebrows. "There's someone you like? How come I don't know?""There are way too many things that you don't know," Brad replied, a hint of disappointment in his tone. "You rarely show concern for me. You have no idea what I'm thinking.""The only one who knows what you're thinking is the worm in your belly. Am I not kind enough to you?""You are," Brad chuckled.While they chatted, the car pulled up to a mansion. Unlike the Just family mansion, which was secluded in the mountains, the Vassell family mansion was situated in an upscale area of the capital, surrounded by elegance and tranquility."Wait, Iris, don’t move." Brad quickly exited, walked around the car, and opened the door for her. Iris got out and gave him a look. "You're being a bit too enthusiastic."Brad smiled without replying. He led her inside."Mom," he called out as they entered the living room. Brad's mother, Linda, elega

Linda said, perplexed, "I watched Fiora grow up. With her beauty and background, she could have anyone she wanted. Why did she choose a divorced man? I think it's a good thing the engagement was called off; that man's not good enough for Fiora.""Ah, matters of the heart are unpredictable," Jessica replied. The more she talked about it, the more frustrated she felt. She took a sip of her coffee and said, "I have to go.""You just arrived; stay a little longer," Linda said. "It’s been so long since we last talked."Jessica set her coffee cup down. "Yeah, I came to visit because it's been a while since I last saw you. But I just remembered something I need to attend to.""Alright, I’ll visit you next time," Linda said as she escorted Jessica to the door."You don't have to see me off," Jessica waved her hand. The driver opened the car door, and she got in. As the car pulled away, she said to the driver, "Find out... Ah, never mind."She didn't finish her sentence. She wanted

Jason could understand her concerns. "Don’t keep me waiting too long," he said.Iris kept quiet.She didn't know if she had the courage to marry again."Does he like you?" Jason suddenly asked."Who? Who are you talking about?" Iris asked, confused."That brat," he said with a knowing smile. "You really don’t know?"Iris felt a mix of amusement and exasperation. "How could he possibly like...?" As she spoke, memories of Brad’s recent clinginess and his peculiar comments surfaced in her mind.She had always seen him as a younger brother because of their age gap."Are you jealous?" she teased.Jason sneered, "Me? Jealous of a brat who's still wet behind the ears?""Oh, then if he invites me to his house again, I won’t say no...""No, you’re not allowed to go," he said firmly, suddenly tightening his grip on her. "You went to his house?"A sudden realization struck Iris. "He invited me to his house for dinner because he said his mother wanted to thank me for taking care of him

The words "You're unsuitable for our family" echoed in Iris' mind. She watched as Jessica walked away, her face pale.Did Jason's mother misunderstand her relationship with Brad because she was at the Vassell family mansion?With that thought, Iris hurried after Jessica. The car hadn't driven away yet, so she approached and knocked on the window.The glass slowly rolled down, revealing a cold and cutting expression on Jessica's face. "Is there anything else?" she asked.Iris took a breath to steady herself. "I went to the Vassell family mansion because Brad said his mother wanted to thank me...""I know; you don't have to explain. Linda already told me," Jessica replied coolly. "Is there anything else?"Iris pursed her lips. "Then why do you dislike me?""I admit that you're quite likable. I liked you at first, but your actions have truly disappointed me. I can't accept a woman like you as my daughter-in-law," Jessica stated plainly, her words cutting deeply.Iris felt her hear
