Chapter 112
On the phone, when Iris hung up, she suddenly got kicked in the stomach.
She couldn’t help but let out a soft “ah” and then looked down.
The nanny nurse heard her scream, and immediately ran over to check on her, nervously asking her, what happened?
Iris pointed to her already big belly, somewhat incredulously saying, “The little one is kicking me, they’re kicking me.”
It’s been over five months, and she still got kicked for the first time.
The first interaction between mother and son felt good and strange. made Iris excited and her eyes a little red.
The nanny and the nurse also smiled.
“There will be more and more of such phenomena in the future,” the nurse said.
Iris nodded with red eyes and asked the nanny and nurse, “Should I go pick out baby supplies for the two kids?”
During the two months away from Ardiham, she was busy every day getting to know the operations of her vast business empire, and hadn’t thought about buying anything for her two children.
“Yeah, sure, no problem,” the nanny said with a smile.
“Get ready, let’s go.

Dracvale.
In the penthouse suite of the hotel, Heriberto was listening to Curtis report on the day’s findings from tracking Zayden.
Zayden had never met Curtis. Curtis was a pro, so Heriberto had him personally track him. Most reassuring.
However, after tracking all day, Curtis didn’t really have much to show for it.
Even before returning to the hotel, Zayden personally went over and knocked on his car window.
At that time, Zayden was looking at him, his attitude was very gentle, but the words he said were not gentle at all.
He said, “Go tell Heriberto that if his people keep following me, they might not come back in one piece like today.”
Curtis followed him all day, thinking he was being very careful, but he doesn’t know when he was spotted by Zayden’s people.
Heriberto naturally knew that Zayden, as Merlin’s successor, had impressive abilities and must have had many people secretly protecting him.
This time, he was too eager to know about Iris’s whereabouts, too impatient.
“We don’t need to track Zayden anymore,” he told Curtis.
Although it’s now clear that Iris was hidden by Merlin and Zayden, to actually find Iris, he’ll have to come up with another plan.
Maybe he could get some insights from Merlin.

“Ding dong –” “Ding dong –”
“Dong dong –” “Dong dong –”
Suddenly, there was a rapid doorbell ringing, followed by knocking on the door.
Heriberto was sitting on the sofa in the living room when he heard a noise, his long eyebrows suddenly furrowed.
Curtis walked quickly to open the door.
“Heriberto, it’s me, open the door quickly!”
Before Curtis arrived at the door, outside, Katrina’s panicked screams could be heard.
Curtis was about to reach the door when he heard Katrina’s voice, so he stopped and turned back to look at Heriberto.
Heriberto indeed raised his hand to stop him from opening the door, then whispered, “Just say I’m not here.”
After saying that, he strode back to the master bedroom and then closed the door.
After all, the Hale family and the Powell family were in a partnership now, so he didn’t want to offend Katrina too much.
So, besides work, he tried to avoid Katrina as much as possible.
Curtis nodded, and only opened the front door after Heriberto entered the master bedroom and closed the door.
The next moment, Katrina rushed in with her hair down, wrapped in a hotel bathrobe, and went straight to pounce on Curtis.

But Curtis acted quickly, reaching out to stop her and asking, “Ms. Powell, what happened?”
Katrina looked up and realized the person in front of her was not Heriberto, but Curtis.
She frowned suddenly, took a step back quickly, and tightened the open collar of her bathrobe in front of her chest, then asked with a stern face, “Where is Heriberto?”
Curtis lowered his head expressionlessly, “Mr. Hale wasn’t available.”
“Isn’t he here?” Katrina frowned even more tightly, obviously not believing it, looking around and asking, “If he’s not here, why are you here?”
Curtis kept his head down, “I just got back from running errands for Mr. Hále and wanted to see him.”
He’s right, he did spend the whole day following Zayden before coming back.
Katrina gave him a suspicious look, “I clearly saw Heriberto come back.”
“Yeah,” Curtis nodded, “but Mr. Hale went out again.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for him here,” Katrina said, then walked straight in.
“Ms. Powell,” Curtis stopped her again, “Mr. Hale isn’t here, so you better go back.”
Katrina’s face turned uglier instantly, she demanded harshly, “Why am I waiting here for Heriberto? And who do you think you are, what right do you have to stop me?”
