"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?"
