Did they already know how strong she was now?
Was it Rachel who accidentally let something slip to Lilian?
Given how naive Rachel was, it was just way too likely and normal for her to be fooled by Lilian.
“Let them in,” Iris said.
Even taking a big step back, Nikolas and Gloria were the real son and daughter–in–law of the Aguilera family.
She didn’t have a reason to stop them from coming in.
Even though her last name was also Aguilera, in the eyes of the ancestors of the Aguilera family, she was just a married–out daughter.
A married daughter was like water that had been poured out, she wasn’t really considered a proper member of the Aguilera family
anymore.
Soon, Nikolas and Gloria went into the graveyard.
When they saw Iris from dozens of meters away at the foot of the mountain, they looked at each other, then started yelling at Iris together.
“Ira, it’s mom, Ira!”
“Oh, my daughter, my good daughter, Dad missed you so much. After
all these years, Dad finally saw you again!”
The two of them shouted as they ran toward Iris.

Iris knelt in front of Maric’s tombstone. When she heard that, she turned to look, then gave Acdan a helpless smile and said, “Sorry, you had to see that.”
“Do you want me to step out for a bit first?” Acdan asked.
Nikolas and Gloria were Iris’s real parents. They didn’t love Iris, and they definitely wouldn’t hurt Iris.
Since Iris thought what happened between her and her parents was family shame, it was better if he wasn’t there.
Iris heard that and gave a grateful smile, “Okay, thank you, Prof. Steele.”
Aedan raised his hand and gently ruffled the hair on the back of her head in a doting way, “I’ll wait for you in the car.”
“Okay.” Iris nodded and watched Aedan go down the other path.
Nikolas and Gloria were both totally focused on Iris at that moment, not paying attention to anyone else.
They didn’t even look at Aedan, just thought Aedan was Iris’s subordinate, and let Aedan go down from the other side.
After Aedan left, Iris knelt in front of Marie and kept talking to Marie.
“Oh Ira, Dad and Mom missed you so much. These past few years, you really made it hard for us to find you!”
After several minutes, Nikolas and Gloria climbed up and came to Marie’s grave.
The two of them were out of breath, but the excitement and thrill on their faces still couldn’t be hidden at all.
