If she really loved Aedan, she shouldn’t have just watched him break with his parents, and it was all because of her.

But if she went against her own wishes to support Beckett, she definitely would have felt ufortable.

What was she supposed to do?

Just then, Aedan got off work and came to Weston Manor to pick up the three of them for dinner.

Iris thought it over and still decided to talk to Aedan.

“Aedan, your dad called me a couple of days ago.”

On the way to the restaurant, while the car was waiting at the red light at the intersection, Iris said quietly.

Aedan turned his head to look at her as soon as he heard that, and obvious uneasiness showed in his eyes.

“He…” He quickly calmed down again, “Did you promise him anything?”

Iris smiled a little, “Did your dad already talk to you about asking me to support his campaign, and was that why you argued with your mom the other day?”

Aedan nodded honestly, “Iris, I never promised Beckett to do anything for him, and you didn’t have to promise either, even if they were my real parents.”

“But weren’t you worried that this would make things awkward with them?” Iris asked.

“They were unhappy because they wanted too much. What did that have to do with me?” Acdan held Iris’s hand tight. “Compared to them, I cared more about whether you were happy.”

“So, you didn’t agree with me supporting your father’s campaign either?” Iris asked.

“Right.”

“But are you really okay?” She felt a little sorry for Aedan.

Aedan squeezed her hand a little tighter, “Now that I have you, I already feel it’s enough. As for a father’s love, I never had it, and I don’t expect to have it in the future.”

Iris looked at him, leaned in and kissed his cheek, “Aedan, thank you, I didn’t choose the wrong person.”

Aedan smiled too.

Iris didn’t want Beckett to me Aedanter, so she had to act like a big shot, gave a lightugh, and said, “Sir Steele, do you think, with what I have, I’d ever be short of men?”

Beckett was silent.

“Without one Aedan, there would still be many other men around me,” Iris said again.

That tone was just way too arrogant.

Beckett just hung up the phone.

What Iris didn’t expect was, Beckett had just hung up on her and then turned around and called Margaret.

Beckett not only told Margaret that Iris didn’t support him running for office.

Word for word, I repeated Iris’sst few sentences to Margaret.

Lastly, she also ordered Margaret that, no matter what, she had to stop Acdan from being with Iris.

Margaret fell in love with Beckett at first sight when she was young. Even after decades of being his secret lover and raising his son for him, she was still happy to do it,
