Breaking Free from the Ex-Husband novel Chapter 27

Chapter27

In less than half an hour, the car pulled into Acme Villa.

I guess she just didn’t love it anymore, so Iris surprisingly didn’t have any attachment to this place where she had lived for three years.

Here, the only real happiness, maybe only a few times, was when Heriberto was gentle to her in bed.

His needs were always quite strong. As long as he wasn’t on a business trip, she wasn’t on her period, or feeling unwell, he would ask for her.

Sometimes one or two times in a night is not enough, it’s common to toss and turn for two or three hours.

The car pulled up in front of the main building, Iris got out and went inside. She saw Megan sitting in the living room, sipping tea leisurely.

Agnese stood by her side, being careful and not even daring to take a breath.

“Mrs. Hale.” When Iris came back, Agnese’s eyes lit up as if she had seen a savior.

Iris glanced at Agnese, then called out to Megan, “Megan.”

“Iris, come over and sit down,” Megan put down her teacup and patted the sofa next to her.

Iris obediently sat down.

Megan pulled her hand over and looked at her belly, “How’s the baby? Has it been kicking you these days?”

“It’s all good,” Iris smiled obediently as before, “I went to the hospital for a check–up, and the doctor said the fetus is stable now, no need to worry.”

“That’s good.” Megan breathed a sigh of relief, with a sincere smile on her face, she patted Iris’s hand and said, “Iris, I’ve always known that you are a good kid, more sensible than most women, and also more considerate and generous.”

She smiled and then said, “You know very well how Charlie and I feel about Melanie. She’s not even in the same league as you, and she’ll never get what she wants. Why bother getting into a fight with Heriberto because of her and moving out? That’s just being silly.”

“Megan, Heriberto and I had already decided to get a divorce.” Things have reached a point where Iris doesn’t want to keep it from Megan anymore.

“What?” Megan was shocked, her voice suddenly raised a few notches. “Heriberto wants a divorce, and you agreed? What about the kids if you divorce now?”

“I refused, I firmly refused, you must give birth to the child,” she said again, her face darkening, “this is the grandson of our Hale family.”

“Megan, don’t worry, I definitely gave birth to the child.”

“How did you know for sure that the baby in her belly was mine?”

Just as Iris was speaking, a deep, magnetic voice, tinged with indifference, came from the direction of the door.

Iris and Megan both turned their heads to look back.

Heriberto walked in with a straight posture, a cold expression on his face. His cold gaze landed on Iris as he sneered, “If you’re so

determined to get a divorce, why are you back?”

Iris met his cold gaze, stood up calmly, and smiled slightly at him, “Mr. Hale is right, I’m leaving now.”

It was not even four o’clock in the afternoon, she didn’t expect Heriberto to suddenly come back.

“Megan, don’t worry, I will take care of the child myself, and I will definitely have the child.”

Finish what I didn’t say just now to Megan, she didn’t hesitate at all, lifted her leg and left, didn’t look at Heriberto again, didn’t waste another word on him.

However, as she passed by Heriberto, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.

That force, in an instant, was astonishingly strong, as if it was going to crush her bones.

Iris endured discomfort, turned her head to look at him, and met Heriberto’s cold and sharp gaze like a blade.

“Iris, don’t act like I owe you anything.”

Heriberto squinted, feeling the urge to cut open her chest and see her heart, every word and sentence filled with intense anger, even a hint of hatred.

He vividly remembers that when Iris was sixteen, his grandmother asked her who she liked more, him or Julian.
