Breaking Free from the Ex-Husband novel Chapter 127

He quickly calmed down a bit and didn’t push Layla away. He asked in a deep voice, “Where’s Iris? Is she up there? I’m her husband,

Heriberto, and I need to see her now.”

“Husband?” Layla frowned, “Mr., Ms. Aguilera said she had divorced long ago, now she’s single.”

“So, Iris did live here?”

Heriberto couldn’t contain his excitement and grabbed Layla’s arm, asking urgently, “Tell me, where is she now? Is she resting upstairs?”

“Ms. Aguilera did live here, but, this morning, no, I mean yesterday morning, she left, not at home,” Layla replied.

“Out already?!”

Heriberto paused, gripping Layla’s arm tighter, “Did she say where she was going?”

Layla shook her head, “Sir Knighton said you came to see her, asked if she wanted to meet you, Ms. Aguilera said no, so you just left.”

Iris left…

To avoid him, Iris left again.

Rationally, Heriberto knew it would definitely be like this.

Emotionally, he couldn’t handle it.

He searched for her for half a year.

Finally got news of her, but when he rushed over, she had already left

“No, I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it!”

He shook his head, didn’t care about anything, pushed Layla away, and ran upstairs like crazy.

Layla exclaimed and fell to the ground. She glanced at Heriberto running up the stairs, then calmly got up, took out her phone, and dialed the emergency number.

The Knighton family had already touched base with the local police. When they received Layla’s emergency call, the police immediately sprang into action.

Heriberto ran up the stairs, down the hallway, pushed open every closed door, turned on all the lights, and shouted Iris’s name as he searched.

No one…

No one…

No one showed up again.

Still no one…

No one was there…

Every room was clean and tidy, but there was no one in any of them.

There was a room, Heriberto was sure, that was Iris’s room.

The decoration in the room is similar to the master bedroom in Acme Villa.

Most importantly, it still had Iris’s unique smell and vibe lingering

Iris used to study medicine and loved playing with different herbs. She always had a faint medicinal scent that others didn’t have.

This medicine smells really good, with a refreshing taste that makes you fall in love with it at first sniff.

He searched through all the rooms.

When he went into Iris’s room for the second time, he was devastated, like a child abandoned by the whole world, standing by the bed where Iris had slept.

He sat down by the bed, grabbed the pillow Iris had slept on, hugged it tightly, and buried his face in it, trying hard to suck up the smell.

He closed his eyes, tears welled up and fell down at some point, murmuring, “Iris, I know I was wrong, can’t you give me another chance…”

“The police, that man is here,” suddenly Layla’s voice came from outside the door.

Then came a jumble of footsteps, the sound getting closer quickly.

Several police officers burst into the room with guns.

They aimed their guns at Heriberto, who was sitting on the bed hugging a pillow and crying like a child, and shouted, “Don’t move!”

Because Heriberto broke into a private residence in the middle of the night, he was arrested.

The Hale family was the big shot in Ardiham, they could make things
