She felt Heriberto’s heart was like a block of ice wrapped in iron, and no one but Iris could melt it.

She looked away and turned to look at Iris beside her.

Iris was actually looking at her.

The two of them met eyes, Iris gave her a small smile, rubbed her head and said, “Let’s go back.”

Rachel pouted, looked like she was about to cry, but still tried hard to hold it in and nodded, saying “Yeah.”

Iris and Nathaniel got into different cars with the baby.

Rachel was in the same car with Iris and Isabe.

In the car, Rachel didn’t say a word, and when she got home for dinner, she didn’t have much of an appetite either.

Even Nathaniel noticed something was off with her. When Iris wasn’t around, he couldn’t help but ask, “Rach, what’s going on? Not happy? Come on, I’ll take you out to have some fun!”

“Where are we going?” Rachel asked wearily.

“You could go wherever you wanted,” Nathaniel said.

If there was anywhere/in all of Ardiham that Nathaniel couldn’t go, I didn’t know about it.

Rachel thought for a moment, “I heard the male modeling business in Ardiham was pretty big. Is there any club that has male models like

you and Mr. Hale?”

Nathaniel listened to her, his mouth twitching. He went over and touched her forehead, “What, got a fever? Lost your mind?”

Rachel looked at him and didn’t say anything.

“So, did you start liking me?” Nathaniel asked again.

Rachel shook her head.

“Oh, my God!” Nathaniel realized what was going on and blurted out, eyes wide, “No way, you liked that jerk Heriberto?”

“But in Mr. Hale’s eyes, there was only Ira,” Rachel said.

The little girl was really simple–minded and trusted people way too easily. –

Luckily, Nathaniel wasn’t a bad guy.

Nathaniel rubbed his forehead and almost rolled his eyes.

“Alright, I thought you were kind of hopeless, and as for that male model or whatever, if you wanted, you could still find one. When Nica came back, she could take you. Anyway, you both liked that kind of thing.”

He said, touching his chin, “But Nica seemed to like Everett’s type.”

At night, Rachel slept with Iris.

She turned to hug Iris’s arm, thought for a long time, then said to Iris very seriously, “Ira, I’ve decided, I won’t like Mr. Hale anymore.”

Iris listened and almost couldn’t help but burst outughing.

Really just a kid, huh, saying like or don’t like so easily.

“Why?”

“Mr. Hale was nice, but he wouldn’t like me. In his eyes and heart, there was only you.”

In the pitch dark, Rachel looked at the ceiling and answered, then said, “Ira, I think Mr. Hale is pretty pitiful. Do you want to think about going back to him?”

Iris didn’t expect the topic would turn to her.

“You wanted me to go back to Heriberto?” she asked.

“Yeah. I wanted to.” Rachel nodded.

“What about Aedan?”

“Prof. Steele, huh…” Rachel thought for a moment, “Prof. Steele was

so nice, he could definitely find another girlfriend soon.”

Iris smiled helplessly.

“Rach, there’s a saying: ‘If you haven’t suffered like others, don’t tell them to be good.” She gently patted Rachel’s head, “It’ste, stop overthinking, go to sleep.”
