"What do I have to do with you? Why do you consider every woman as Navier?" Robert, who was playing on her mobile phone on the other side and not participating in the conversation between the two, glanced over.
Willam had said something similar when he had seen a girl dancing in the bar before.
Whenever the name Navier was mentioned, he would clearly show his dislike.
Aubrey was already very annoyed. With both of them mentioning Navier, he couldn't sit still and lifted his foot to leave the box.
Navier's Perspective
The one-hour live broadcast had come to an end.
Iris and I still had a lot to say.
Taking off the fox mask, Iris blinked her bright eyes at me and said, "This is the first time Iris has seen Mom smile so happily. Mom's smile is beautiful!"
I was stunned for a moment. After four years of marriage, I had almost forgotten how to smile.
"Iris is amazing too. I didn't expect you to dance so well." I praised while pinching Iris’s adorable cheeks.
Iris’s performance today also surprised me.
Iris blushed and lowered her head, "Actually, Iris has always liked dancing, but Grandma and Aunt don't like it. Iris is afraid they will scold Mom, so..."
Hearing Iris’s words, my eyes suddenly turned red.
I understood!
After marriage, I had been living with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and they didn't give me any freedom.
I remembered that Iris used to love moving her body to the music. At that time, the little girl was only a few months old. When she was one or two years old, she would jump up and down every day and even create her own dance moves.
But as time went by, she became less interested in dancing.
I thought that Iris just didn't like it anymore, but I never thought that Iris was afraid of being scolded!
Feeling guilty, I hugged Iris tightly, "Don't worry, Iris. In the future, you can dance as much as you want, and you don't have to worry about anything else."
"There's one more thing Mom wants to tell you. Mom and you will not stay at Grandma's house anymore, nor will we be near your father."
"Do you want that?"
I had not discussed the divorce with Iris, so I was extremely worried at this moment.
"You mean we won't stay at Grandma's anymore?" Iris was slightly surprised, but then a happy expression appeared on her face. "That's really good."
"You also don't want... to stay there?" Iris’s answer slightly surprised me.
"Grandma and Aunt don't like Mom, and Iris doesn't either. I don't like them!" Iris decisively shook her head without any hesitation.
The words of Iris stirred an even deeper sense of guilt in me.
Because my father was just a shoemaker, the Spencer family, who considered themselves of a higher status, looked down on me and even had prejudices against Iris.
In the first three years after Iris was born, and the outside world had no idea about it. For the Spencer family, her birth as a descendant of the Spencer family would be a shameful thing.
I couldn't help but think: If back then I hadn't made such an impulsive decision, then discovered I was pregnant and silently gave birth to raise the child on my own, would things have been different?
After the live broadcast ended, Fredrica told me that the house had been arranged properly.
I brought Iris to the apartment I had purchased before getting married.
Although my family background wasn't good, I had earned a lot of money from the live broadcast.
I had bought this apartment with the money I earned from the live broadcast.
"Master, hello, I am Aubrey, your most loyal and intelligent servant. Anything you need, just give me the command, and Aubrey will serve you like a cow, like a horse."
I laughed playfully, "Fredrica, are you insane? I left that house just to completely forget about those people. What issue do you have that you brought Aubrey here?"
Attached to it was a photo, in which she looked full of radiance, standing next to someone else.
The person's face was not visible, but I could still see the red mole on their middle finger. It is absolutely Aubrey.
The headline was quite impressive: Spring is here, suitable for engagement.
I only glanced at it once, then smiled faintly. "They are just passers-by in my life now. Whether they want to get engaged or married has nothing to do with me."
After saying that, I turned around without bothering to look back a second time.
"Even so, it still annoys me! If it weren't for you standing up and speaking out, Aubrey would have lost face a long time ago, and the Spencer family would have collapsed!"
She slammed the table loudly. "He is not only ungrateful to you, but also doesn't even pay attention to you!"
"You don't need to worry about these things, but why did he make an official announcement like that when he is with Cathy?"
"Isn't this just tantamount to telling you that all your endeavors for him were in vain, and all the grievances you have endured were simply a consequence of your own actions?"
"That's how he feels deep down." I sighed softly. I had accepted the reality.
"That damn bastard!" Fredrica scratched the coffee table, imagining it was Aubrey.
"We may lose in terms of emotions, but we can't lose to him as a person. He is not humble when it comes to you. He can trample on you as he pleases. Let's make a little fuss to make him uncomfortable!"
"This time, let Thomas handle it. Use her noble and dominant demeanor to crush him!" Fredrica decided and picked up her phone to make a call.
"Stop it." I stopped her, fearing her actions. "You have already set me up with two men this month, and people who don't know will think I'm someone worthless."
"Besides, Thomas is different from John. He is pure and innocent. Even if you push him towards me, I don't want to get involved."
"You." Hatred filled Fredrica’s face, but I had made my decision and couldn't be changed. She could only let it go.
Although I didn't intend to take advantage of Thomas, when I heard that he had returned, I still brought Iris to meet him.
