Chapter418

“Rachel, Nathaniel, where’s mom?” Ezekiel and Isabe asked.

“Mom was waiting for Zeke and Be outside, let’s go,” Nathaniel pped his hands at Ezekiel and Isabe and said.

Rachel stood aside and still didn’t really dare to look at Heriberto.

Heriberto didn’t look at her, either.

Knowing that Iris and the others were outside, he strode out.

Since Iris didn’t want toe in, it was the same if he went out.

But when I walked past Nathaniel, I was stopped.

“Mr. Hale, did you really think Ira couldn’t see through your little scheme?”

Nathaniel reached out to block Heriberto and called him out without mercy, then said, “Ira has already been tolerant enough to you and your Hale family. Don’t push your luck, or you’ll end up with nothing.”

Heriberto stopped in his tracks. When he heard that, it was like waking up from a dream, and he lowered his head in disappointment.

“Nathaniel, what were you talking about?”

Rachel saw Heriberto get so upset, like he’d lost his soul or something. She felt really bad for him and wanted to stand up for Heriberto.

Nathaniel didn’t notice that Rachel liked Heriberto. He just sincerely told her, “Rach, didn’t you get it? Mr. Hale did this on purpose, using Zeke and Be to bring Ira here. He wanted Ira to see the old things

and remember the past.”

He said it with a light scoff, gave Heriberto a mocking look, and said, “But Mr. Hale didn’t even think about it. In this vi, what good memories could Ira possibly have?”

Rachel finally got it. She looked at Heriberto, a bit sad and a bit sorry, and asked, “Was Mr. Hale really mean to Ira before?”

“It was more than just bad.” Nathaniel let out a shortugh, “Mr. Hale used to treat Ira like a nanny, a tool for his desires, a thief, but just never as a wife.”

Iris waited outside for over ten minutes before she saw Nathaniel and Rachele out holding Ezekiel and Isabe.

She finally got off the car.

“Mom.” Ezekiel and Isabe called her happily.

Iris went over, took Isabe from Rachel’s arms and gave her a kiss, then kissed Ezekiel too and asked, “Did you have fun at Dad’s ce?”

“Yeah, happy.” The two little ones answered in unison.

Iris smiled and said, “Then let’s go home.”

“Okay.”

Iris was holding Isabe and about to get in the car, but suddenly felt two very familiar eyes staring at her from behind.

That look was lonely and sad.

She looked back.

She spotted Heriberto right away, standing on the balcony of the master bedroom on the third floor where she used to live, just staring

at her.

The bedroom light wasn’t on, and the silvery moonlight poured down, covering his whole body.

He was like a withered branch covered in frost and snow, giving off a kind of loneliness that was hard to describe.

Rachel noticed her movement and turned to look, too.

Seeing Heriberto standing on the third–floor balcony, she seemed even sadder.

From the moment she walked into the vi to when she left, Heriberto

didn’t look at her even once.

Really didn’t even take a single look.

In Heriberto’s eyes and heart, there was only Iris.
