However, before Iris could say anything, Nathaniel went over and, without a word, took Isabe from his arms.

Heriberto didn’t want to wake up Isabe, so he had to let go and handed Isabe to him.

“No need.” Iris refused directly, “Mr. Hale has also been busy all day, go back and rest early.”

As soon as he finished, Iris and Nathaniel just walked past him and left.

Ezekiel was held by the nanny and was already waiting in the car.

Heriberto watched Iris walk past him, and her words “Mr. Hale has been busy all day, go home and rest early” echoed in his ears. Suddenly, he just couldn’t help but feel stirred up inside.

Was Iris caring about him?

She actually knew he’d been busy all day.

Yeah, she was caring about him.

She was just caring about him.

“Ira!” Unable to control himself, Heriberto suddenly turned around and shouted at Iris.

Iris stopped and looked back.

When she looked into Heriberto’s bright, amazing eyes, she frowned just a little.

“Mr. Hale still had something to do?”

Heriberto heard her voice obviously cool down, and then he realized how childish and even ridiculous he had been.

“Hey, Be, make sure you never get fooled or hurt by some jerk guy in the future.” Nathaniel looked at Isabe, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and sighed.

“With you here, what was there to be afraid of.” Irisughed.

“Yeah.” Nathaniel raised an eyebrow proudly, “Then I gotta live a bit longer, at least long enough to see Be get married.”

Iris looked at him. His simple words suddenly made Iris realize what he was worried about.

She reached out and held Nathaniel’s hand, and said very seriously, “Nathaniel, don’t worry. As long as I’m here, I won’t let anyone from the Cantrell family bully you again.”

“I believe that.” Nathaniel looked at her, smiled and nodded, “Feels great to have a big shot backing me up!”
