But she stood in the dining room, and the corner wall blocked her view, so she couldn't see what was happening
at the door at all.
Outside the door, Heriberto rubbed his fingers at his side, and his palm was already covered in a layer of cold
sweat.
When Brogan told him that was Merlin’s private jet, and that Merlin and an unknown lady actually checked into
the shotel as him, only God knew how excited and thrilled he was.
How nervous and scared | was.
“Excuse me, does Iris live here?” he asked, his voice shaking.
Inside the restaurant, Iris heard a sound and suddenly paused just as she was about to drink from her glass.
“Who are you?” Jane's voice cagain.
“I was, Heriberto, Iris’s...” ex-husband.

He froze for a good four or five seconds, then finally started walking in.
Inside, in the restaurant, Iris was standing by the window table, holding a crystal glass and drinking water.
The sun was setting in the west, and the golden afterglow cthrough the clear glass window, shining on her
face and body, spreading countless warm, soft lights over her.
Heriberto walked into the living room, looked at her standing there against the glowing sunset, and just couldn't
help it-his eyes got wet for a moment.
Iris finished her water, put down the glass, lifted her eyelids, and gave him a clear, cool look. Then she turned to
Jane and said, “Jane, you and Laurel go downstairs for dinner first.”
This meant they were trying to deliberately send her and Laurel away.
Jane nodded and said “Okay,” then left with Laurel.
There were bodyguards outside the door; so they didn’t have to worry about Iris’s safety.
