Love Command: Darling, Do You Yield?-Chapter 178 - 179: Mom, Iris can be saved

William Moore was right. If he didn’t treat her well, there would be other men who would.

In the past, he was dismissive, thinking Iris Harris was devoted to him.

But now, he no longer had words to say.

Even the chance to treat her well, he hadn’t anymore.

His life had been smooth and successful, everything went his way, and now he finally understood that the fortune he had in the first half of his life needed a lifetime to repay.

Dusk approached.

When the secretary came out of the secretary’s office, she saw the lights next door were still on.

She carried her bag, hesitated for a moment, and then carefully pushed the door open to peek inside.

In the brightly lit office, Brandan Hyde stood by the window looking into the distance, his silhouette was straight and his physique very perfect.

Yet somehow, looking at his figure, there was a feeling of sadness emanating from him.

The air carried a faint scent of tobacco, the window was open, and the night wind had become chilly as it blew in, making the office air quite cold.

The secretary hesitated a little, not knowing why she felt he was crying.

"Boss Hyde..."

She instinctively called out to him.

But immediately regretted it.

At this moment, he probably didn’t want anyone to see him, right?

The man standing facing the window heard the noise and turned his head slightly, revealing a pair of calm and cold eyes.

Those eyes were as usual, indifferent and calm.

Turns out he wasn’t crying...

The secretary breathed a sigh of relief. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"What’s the matter?"

"It’s getting late, everyone has left. Aren’t you going back?"

Brandan Hyde extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray, and with some indifference nodded: "You go home. I’ll stay a while longer."

"..." The secretary glanced at his face, and quietly said, "Did something happen to you?"

Brandan Hyde glanced at her, and the little secretary wished she could bite her tongue off. She awkwardly smiled: "I didn’t mean anything, just rarely see you so worried. We secretaries are here to relieve the boss’s worries..."

Brandan Hyde, surprisingly, said nothing and fiddled with the already extinguished cigarette butt with his slender fingers, quietly said: "My troubles are not something you can help with, you should go home."

The little secretary coughed softly: "You’re right... I’ll go now. Boss Hyde, you should rest early too!"

The office door slowly closed, Brandan Hyde withdrew his gaze, looking at the slowly darkening sky.

He raised his hand to gently stroke his own face.

So, was he actually this sad now?

Sad enough for even outsiders to notice his emotions.

As a superior, naturally, one should not show their emotions, and he always did well in the company.

Brandan Hyde looked at his own face reflected in the window, lost in thought, then softly sighed.

"Brandan..."

Coming out of Iris Harris’s hospital room, Lady Hyde saw Brandan Hyde, and was momentarily stunned before quickly walking over.

This was the first time Brandan Hyde came to see her since Iris Harris woke up four or five days ago.

"Iris is having dinner," Lady Hyde held Brandan’s hand, "Do you want to go see her?"

"Hmm." Brandan Hyde nodded without expression, "Since she’s eating, I’ll wait and see her later. Seeing me might ruin her appetite."

Lady Hyde heard this, laughed awkwardly, and then pulled Brandan Hyde aside to sit down.

Lady Hyde carefully looked at Brandan Hyde’s face, raised her hand to tenderly touch his much thinner chin, and said with concern: "Have you not been eating well lately? Why have you lost so much weight?"

Brandan Hyde took her hand away, looking at her, after a moment, he said: "Mom, Iris can be saved."
