Love Command: Darling, Do You Yield?-Chapter 121 - 122: Mom, I Like Her 1

Alex Hawk once told him that Iris Harris was only warm to him, and to others, she was innately indifferent.

"..."

Brandan Hyde withdrew his gaze and turned around to lean against the wall, lighting a cigarette.

So now, to her, had he become one of those "others" too?

Brandan Hyde let out a silent laugh, yet his eyes held an indescribable complexity.

**********************

When Brandan Hyde went downstairs, he happened to encounter Iris Harris and Lady Hyde returning from the garden.

Lady Hyde’s eyes were red, seemingly from crying, while Iris Harris appeared very calm. Her eyes, slightly cold, glanced at him and then withdrew indifferently.

Brandan Hyde was accustomed to being cherished by her. At this moment, being neglected by her was truly frustrating; he had apologized, bowed low, yet Iris Harris just wouldn’t forgive him. What was he supposed to do?

To what extent must he go before she would let go of that matter?

The three of them went to the dining room to eat. The room was silent, with no one speaking—only the faint clatter of cutlery on plates.

Iris Harris finished breakfast first, got up, and left. As soon as Brandan Hyde saw her leave, he immediately put down his chopsticks and followed her.

Seeing this, Lady Hyde couldn’t help but frown again.

She was really afraid of seeing Brandan Hyde cling to Iris Harris; she always felt Brandan Hyde would bully her.

This son of hers, she really understood less and less.

"Iris!"

Seeing Iris Harris heading upstairs, Brandan Hyde couldn’t help but call out to her.

Iris Harris stopped in her tracks, turned around and looked at him, not speaking, only using her gaze to ask him: "What’s the matter?"

"Yesterday, how did I end up sleeping in your place?"

Iris Harris replied indifferently, "You got drunk and took my room for your own."

"Then where did you sleep last night?"

"On the sofa. Why?"

Brandan Hyde pursed his lips in annoyance. He really didn’t know how to continue this conversation with Iris Harris, yet he couldn’t bear to end it there.

He looked at her, recalling her profile in the morning light, softly glowing, and couldn’t resist lifting his hand, wanting to touch her face.

"Slap!"

On instinct, Iris Harris swatted his hand away.

The back of his hand stung, and Brandan Hyde was stunned. Iris Harris looked down at her own palm, seemingly a little dazed as well.

Many things between them were different now.

Even standing this close, they felt miles apart.

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to rest." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Iris Harris said, head down, then turned and left.

Brandan Hyde watched her back; he couldn’t help rubbing the back of his hand—it hurt so much it made his eyes ache.

Before, she couldn’t bear to hurt him even a little...

She really has changed.

Brandan Hyde felt lost and forlorn, his heart ached, but he didn’t know how to win her back.

Lady Hyde came out of the dining room and saw Brandan Hyde standing at the foot of the stairs. His silhouette appeared exceptionally bleak, causing her heart to ache, yet she held back and didn’t approach.

It should end.

This ill-fated love.

It was all her fault; she shouldn’t have tried to bring them together.

************************

At the company, Brandan Hyde suddenly received a call from Alex Hawk.

After hanging up, his expression changed, and he rushed out of the office, driving hurriedly towards the Hyde Residence.

Parking the car at the Hyde Residence, he hurried into the hallway, heading straight to Iris Harris’s room, kicking the door open, glancing inside before throwing open Iris Harris’s wardrobe.
