Breaking Free from the Ex-Husband novel Chapter 188

Chapter 188

After a few simple hangouts, Iris thought Acdan was a trustworthy person, so she didn’t have any guard up against him. She didn’t feel the need to hide the fact that she was a super rich woman either.

“Ms. Aguilera, you looked really beautiful tonight!”

Acdan said sincerely when he first saw Iris.

Iris was already a beauty, like a painting, and tonight she even dressed up on purpose.

She was absolutely stunning from head to toe, couldn’t take my eyes

off her

Iris laughed, “Thank you.”

Before leaving, she kissed Zeke and Bella on the forehead again.

“Your son and daughter are also very beautiful, just like you,” Aedan said again when he saw Zeke and Bella.

Iris was all smiles, “Yeah, I feel the same way.”

“Were they Heriberto’s children?” Aedan suddenly asked.

Iris raised her eyebrows, neither admitting nor denying, only asking, “You won’t tell him, right?”

Aedan laughed, “I don’t know him. And I saw a report, he seems to be marrying the daughter of the Powell family in

chbourne.”

“Wow, you actually have time to read entertainment news?” Iris looked surprised.

Aedan chuckled again, “Because he’s your ex–husband, I’m a little curious.”

Two people got on the car and chatted all the way.

The car drove out of Weston Manor, Aedan drove quietly all the way. not saying anything.

“Prof. Steele, don’t you have any questions for me?” Iris was a bit curious about his silence.

Aedan heard that, his lips curled slightly, quickly glanced at her, and asked back, “What do you want me to ask you?”

Iris looked at him, then smiled, and turned her head with a smile.

Aedan looked very elegant, must come from a wealthy background. It’s normal not to be curious about her identity.

“I’m just curious, why did you choose such a boring major like pharmacy?” Aedan asked.

“Just liked him, no other reason,” Iris answered.

Aedan nodded and didn’t ask anything else.

The dinner was held at a local five–star hotel, about a twenty–minute drive from Weston Manor.

When Iris walked in with Aedan on her arm, she immediately caught the attention of many guests at the event.

Iris guessed right, Sophia also showed up.

Not only did Sophia come, but also the local weathy businessmen, celebrities, and politicians.

The whole banquet hall was packed with people, glasses clinking. fragrant clothes and beautiful hairstyles, it was a lively scene

Although Acdan was a professor at Ontaden University and an authoritative expert in obstetrics and gynecology, when it comes to social status, he was still a step behind those wealthy businessmen celebrities, and politicians.

Nobody really paid much attention to him, even though he was with a very attractive female companion.

Iris may be pretty, but what’s the use? No one at the scene knew her except Sophia.

Everyone just thought she was just a trophy wife for Aedan

Because he brought a really nice vase, everyone paid a little more attention to him. So, his chances of getting investment for his research project at the dinner party also increased significantly.

This is a common practice for many people who want to attract investment.

“Aedan, the companion you mentioned, is Iris?”

After exchanging a few words with some acquaintances, Aedan Sophia walked over, looked Iris up and down, and asked with a smile.

Iris already said hi to Sophia, but she ignored her.

Obviously she guessed right again, she showed up today as Aedan’s date, Sophia was not happy.

Aedan didn’t really pay attention to Sophia, glad at her through his glasses with a hint of indifference, and replied. Yeah, what’s the problem?”

Sophia noticed Aedan was upset, so she smiled and said, “If I had attended with you, maybe you would have had a much better chance of securing the investment for your new research project today.”

Sophia’s family, a well–known political family in the area, with her help. Aedan’s chances of getting the investment would definitely be greatly increased.

“Prof. Watts, Prof. Steele, you guys talk, I’m gonna grab something to eat.”

I really didn’t want to be the point of conflict between Sophia and Aedan, so Iris smartly walked away.

Aedan nodded gently, his gaze following her figure into the distance.

Ignored, Sophia got even more upset and couldn’t help but ask, “Aedan, do you like Iris because she’s younger and prettier? But I heard she’s already a mother of two.”

Aedan heard that, his face darkened a bit.

He gave Sophia a cold glance, his eyes sharp, and sneered, “So what?”

With that, he walked away, holding his glass of wine.

Iris came to the dessert section, grabbed a dessert randomly, then sat in the most inconspicuous corner, absentmindedly eating.

Before she came, she had actually already eaten, not hungry at all. »
