[ The roadshow was successful , the company goes public next month . ] [ I fired Melody . ] [ I took a month off , should we go on vacation ? ] [ Iris , I really know I was wrong . ] [ Please come back ... ] On the fourth day , he came to the hospital . Much thinner , eyes bloodshot . " Mom . " He looked at my mother . " I'm sorry I didn't take good care of Iris all these years . " Mom looked at him coldly . " Only realizing that now ? Too late . " " Mom , give me another chance ... " " Don't call me Mom . " Mom cut him off . " Jaxon , do you really love my daughter ? " " Yes ! " He answered without hesitation . " If you had to choose between your career and my daughter , what would you pick ? " He froze . " Is that such a difficult question ? Your hesitation says it all . " " No ... I want both ... " " Greedy , " Mom shook her head . " You want everything and end up with nothing . " Just then , his phone rang . An unknown number , He answered , and his face changed dramatically . " What ? Melody jumped off a building ?! " Actually , Melody didn't die , just broke her leg . Apparently after being fired , she hacked the company system to cause damage , got caught , faced massive compensation and criminal charges , and had a moment of despair . 10:20 Hell Yeah Forget the Other Woman My Smart House Was Cheating On Me ! 81.8 % Chapter 10 Jaxon went to handle the situation .

" " I did , but not anymore . She was just a catalyst that made me see the truth about this marriage . " " What about Jaxon ? " " He's a good person , just not suitable as a husband . " I shrugged . " At least not as my husband . " Two months later , the divorce was finalized . When Jaxon signed the papers , his hands shook terribly . " Iris , is there really no chance for us ? " " No. " " What if I changed ... " " Jaxon , " I interrupted him , " this isn't about changing . Your rational thinking , your career drive - these are part of your nature . People who change their nature can't be happy . " " But without you , I won't be happy either . " " You will be . " " When your company goes public , when you achieve financial freedom , you'll see this failed marriage as just a small episode in your life . " He smiled bitterly . " What kind of person do you think I am? " " Someone who values logic and career above everything else . " I stood up . " But there's nothing wrong with that - we're just incompatible . " " Iris ... " " I hope you find someone truly right for you . " " Someone as rational as you , who also puts career first . " Walking out of the civil affairs office , the sunlight was perfect .
