Iris had no time to overthink the French magnate's overly generous apology gifts because Ashandra Knightson called and informed her that she had arrived in Paris.
Iris was happy to see her friend again, so she invited the genius artist to her family's Parisian residence.
Ashandra arrived by dinner time. The two friends greeted each other with a tight hug.
"Thank you for coming!" Iris said.
"Anything for you, Xiulan," Ashandra replied. "The others would have come here as well but they're too busy."
"That's okay. I'm already happy that you came." Iris pulled her inside the house.
Ashandra greeted Jin Liwei, Dom, and of course, the adorable twins.
"Ah, Mochi and Matcha!" Ashandra hugged the twins and refused to put them down.
The twins were familiar with the gorgeous foreign woman. Although they couldn't remember the last time that they met the foreign woman in person, they were familiar with their Auntie Asha because their mother would sometimes video call her.
Little Mochi was especially drawn to Ashandra's beautiful face. He couldn't stop looking at her.
"Asha, yah!" Little Mochi said while tapping her face.
Ashandra's big beautiful eyes crinkled with joy. "Yes! I'm your Auntie Asha." Then she looked at Little Matcha.
The other baby hid his face on her neck but peeked at her shyly. Even the usually indifferent Little Matcha couldn't resist Ashandra Knightson's piercing beauty.
Iris and Dom laughed at the twins' reactions.
Jin Liwei's expression didn't change much, but his gaze was soft when he looked at his sons. Unlike most other men, he wasn't affected by Ashandra Knightson's beauty at all.
Although she was mesmerizing like a goddess of darkness, he preferred his wife's captivatingly bright beauty.
Besides, he had seen exactly two women who were more beautiful than Ashandra Knightson. One was his wife's current appearance as Long Xiulan and the other was his wife's past appearance as Evelina Vetrova.
His wife's past appearance as Evelina Vetrova was definitely the kind of out-of-this-world type of beauty.
And this wasn't only because she was now his wife. Even if he took their relationship out of the equation, he would still think that Evelina Vetrova was the most beautiful woman in the world.
Jin Liwei caught himself and immediately put a stop to the dangerous direction of his thoughts. His wife's past life had always been a painful memory for her.
Even though he had always wanted to have been there for Evelina, he knew that was impossible. For one, his wife's past life background was too dangerous even for a powerful billionaire like him. And finally, he wouldn't trade the life that the two of them built together in her current reborn life for anything in the world.
He forced himself to focus on the present and helped his wife welcome one of her dear friends from Cross Academy.
Ashandra loved Iris' twins dearly. If possible, she wanted to carry the babies even while eating dinner. But Little Mochi and Little Matcha had their own high chairs.
