He was too used to treating Iris like that.

In the past, because of love, Iris naturally endured all the unfairness.

But now, it’s different.

Facing his gaze, Iris smiled and asked him, “Heriberto, you don’t think we can go back to the way things were, do you?”

Heriberto looked at her, paused for a few seconds, as if trying to compromise, and then asked, “So what do you want?”

“I thought you were back, turns out you had already signed the divorce papers,” Iris said casually.

Heriberto didn’t expect he would compromise to this extent, but Iris’s attitude showed no signs of softening.

He pressed his forehead with a headache, controlling his emotions, and said, “So what do you want? Money? How much will satisfy you?”

Iris quietly watched him, “I just wanted Mr. Hale to follow the agreement.”

“You were the first one to violate the terms of the agreement.”

Heriberto suddenly roared, his emotions suppressed, his eyes blazing with anger, “Iris, how could you be so bold after betraying me? Who gave you the courage?

Iris still looked at him calmly until the anger in his eyes subsided a bit, then she asked, “Is there another option?”

“No.”

Heriberto was firm, “Even if the children were born, I would never let them stay.”

“What does ‘never leave behind‘ mean?” Iris asked with a smile.

“I, Heriberto, would never raise someone else’s child.”

“So, anyway, Mr. Hale didn’t want to leave this marriage, right?” Iris asked.

Heriberto’s face darkened, and he said sternly, “Iris, don’t push it. You’ll end up wearing out the little patience and affection I have left for you.”

With that, he suddenly stood up and walked away in big strides.

Iris didn’t want to drag things out with Heriberto anymore, not even for a day.

But she had to leave, she needed to cut ties with Heriberto and the Hale family first.

Otherwise, legally, she’s still Heriberto’s wife.

The child she gave birth to still has to recognize Heriberto as the father.

She thought all day, but couldn’t come up with a perfect way to divorce Heriberto right now.

At 7:30 in the evening, it was Melanie’s concert.

Iris had already made plans with Danica to go to Melanie’s concert

In the evening, Danica drove and showed up at Rivera Bay on time.

Iris suddenly didn’t really feel like going, but Danica was already there, and besides, she was actually curious how high Melanie’s level was.

Did she really live up to the title of “Queen of the Cello“?

After all, Melanie didn’t really start playing the cello until Heriberto brought her from the northern town to Ardiham. She has only been learning for a little over five years so far.

Unless she’s really talented in playing the cello, it’s hard to reach the so–called “cello queen” level.

According to Iris, Melanie fell in love with the cello just because Heriberto liked it.

She also studied cello for a few years, but she didn’t like it, so she gave up halfway and focused on studying various ancient texts and pharmacology.

Danica hadn’t seen Iris for a while. When she finally saw her, she looked good with rosy cheeks. Danica felt relieved and confirmed that Heriberto hadn’t mistreated her.

“Are you going to Melanie’s concert dressed like that? any makeup?”

Iris was wearing a simple light–colored home outfit and heading out with a clean face. Danica was a bit annoyed.
