Breaking Free from the Ex-Husband novel Chapter 171

It was such an easy thing, but he made it extremely difficult.

Maybe because he had lost too much weight and looked too pale, Heriberto’s eyes actually had a few wrinkles at the corners when he smiled.

Iris shut me down with every sentence. I didn’t know what to say, so I just said, “I took some jewelry photos at Freyston on Sunday, it seems like they were left by your grandmother, so I brought them over for you.”

“Um.”

Iris nodded slightly again, looking as aloof as before, “I heard from Zayden that you were constantly inflating the prices of the items at the spring auction on Sunday, so I told Zayden to give up and not compete with you.”

Heriberto listened to her words, his eyes dimmed and he asked, “Are you with Zayden?”

Iris heard that, raised her eyebrows slightly, “My business has nothing to do with Mr. Hale now.”

“What’s the relationship between you and that man just now?” Heriberto asked, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

Iris had a blank expression and repeated, “I said, it’s my business, none of your concern with Mr. Hale now.”

Heriberto suddenly chuckled, “Iris, you’ve grown up, learning to play both sides.”

Just now that man looked so much like his deceased brother, he didn’t believe it. Iris and that man have no connection.

believe it. Iris and that

Facing the same old humiliation from him, Iris seemed to be used to it, not getting angry at all, just calmly saying, “Mr. Hale, give me a price for my grandmother’s eight pieces of jewelry.”

At that time, a few waiters brought the dinner that Heriberto had ordered in advance, and they set it up at the table, ready for Iris when she arrived.

Both of them didn’t say anything for a while.

The dishes were all set up, the waiters had all left. Heriberto picked up the napkin and laid it on his lap, and said to Iris, “Join me for a meal.”

It’s been a long time since he had a good meal with someone.

It’s not that others didn’t want to have a meal with him, it’s that he didn’t feel like it, didn’t have the appetite. For such a long time, he hardly had a decent meal.

Every time he sat down at the dinner table, he couldn’t help but picture Iris sitting across from him, smiling sweetly, carefully serving him food, removing fish bones and peeling shrimp for him, and attentively taking care of him during meals.

Iris glanced casually at the food on the table in front of her.

Some of the dishes were actually her favorite.

“Sorry, my friend is still waiting for me. If Mr. Hale is okay, I’ll leave first.”

She said, stood up directly, turned around and was about to leave.

Just as she lifted her leg, her wrist was grabbed by a warm, dry palm.

Chapter 171

Iris looked down to see the big hand holding her wrist.

Once, that was her beloved big hand.

Whenever this big hand touched her, it always sent shivers down her spine.

But now, there’s nothing left.

“Iris, I’m sorry!”

Heriberto stood behind her and finally said to her, in a low, hoarse voice with a hint of trembling, like a guitar string being plucked, gently touching the strings of her heart.

Iris’s calm heart lake trembled slightly.

We’ve known each other for so many years, and this is the first time Heriberto has bowed his head in front of her.

“Sorry, it was all my fault before…”

“I was being self–righteous, blind, and foolish, couldn’t see the truth, couldn’t see your goodness…”

“Iris, I was wrong, give me another chance, okay?”

These words have been stuck in his throat for the past six months.

No chance to say, and too difficult to say.

Once the floodgates were opened, it all came pouring out like a flood.
