Breaking Free from the Ex-Husband novel Chapter 168

Chapter 168

“Who are you?” Heriberto realized, his voice returning to normal as he asked.

“Mr. Hale doesn’t need to know that.” With that, Laurel hung up the phone.

Heriberto heard the “beep beep beep” busy signal coming from his phone, and his hand holding the phone couldn’t help but shake.

Slowly, his whole body started to tremble, and his eyes slowly turned red.

Finally, he was going to see Iris again.

At that moment, he was so happy he almost passed out.

Because she had to meet Heriberto after class, Iris was clearly a bit distracted during the lesson.

It’s not because I was excited, but because I was a little worried.

She guessed, Heriberto found out her whereabouts so quickly this time, it must have been from Nathaniel or Danica.

She wasn’t worried that Heriberto knew she was studying at Ontaden Medical School in Goltuna.

She was worried if Heriberto knew about Zeke and Bella’s existence.

If he found out, the following entanglement would probably be endless.

Her obvious distraction caught Acdan’s attention, even though she was still sitting in the back, in the least noticeable spot, just like the first two classes.

When Iris was thinking about how to make Heriberto give up and stop bothering her in the most ruthless way possible, Aedan suddenly called her name from the podium and asked her to stand up and answer a question.

Iris didn’t even raise her hand, and was totally zoned out. Suddenly called on, she didn’t react at all, just stayed still, lost in her own thoughts.

The sound of calling names with no one answering, everyone slowly followed Aedan’s gaze and looked over at Iris.

Iris still had no idea, no reaction at all.

“The student in the third row from the back, second seat from the left, please stand up and answer my question.”

Aedan fixed his gaze on her, and spoke again in a deep, rich voice, like the most beautiful notes played on the finest cello.

Iris still didn’t react, she kept her head down, her gaze unfocused on the textbook in front of her, lost in her own thoughts.

“Hey, classmate, Prof. Steele wants you to come up and answer a question.”

The female classmate next to her got worried when she saw that she was not responding at all, so she quickly gave her a nudge to remind her.

“Huh?”

Iris was snapped back to reality, looked up, and then realized that the

eyes of over two hundred people in the classroom were all staring at

her.

Like watching monkeys.

She turned her gaze and met the straight gaze coming from Acdan on the platform.

At that moment, he was looking at her, with thin lips pressed lightly, his face still exuding nobility and a hint of cold detachment as usual, but the gaze behind the lenses was like two laser beams, as if directly penetrating Iris’s soul.

Iris was a bit stunned.

“Ms. Aguilera, can you please answer my question just now?”

Aedan said, looking down at the book, repeated the question, “What are the criteria for selecting active ingredients based on OB and DL values?”

“Sorry.” Iris quickly stood up, didn’t even need to look at the textbook, and watched Aedan answer fluently, “Generally, the selection criteria for active ingredients are OB…..”

Under everyone’s gaze, she blurted out the answer all at once.

After she finished answering, everyone’s gaze slowly shifted away.

Iris breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though she was already mature enough, getting caught daydreaming in class by Aedan still made her feel a lit embarrassed.

Aedan looked at her, then smirked and said, “Ms. Aguilera, please have a seat.”

Iris nodded and took her seat, making sure not to lose focus again

She was very attentive in the second half of the class.
