Chapter 886
However, this was nothing compared to the pain of losing Leon.
“Iris, there’s no point begging him anymore, considering how cruel he has been toward you. Let’s go home,” Louisa
said, her eyes brimming with tears. She was utterly disappointed in Leon at this point.
“No, I can’t give up just like that!” Iris was determined to do this. She gestured for Louisa to help her up, trying her
best to ignore the excruciating pain of her injuries.
“Leon, I’m begging you one last time. I really am sorry for my mistake, and I sincerely hope you can forgive me and
return to my side, please.” Iris stared at him with a pleading look, her eyes etched with hope.

Initially, he buried all of his love and emotions toward Iris at the bottom of his heart and intended to start his new
life afresh, but now, Iris gave her pride and dignity up to reconcile with him, and this touched him greatly. All the
fiery passion and love toward her was once again rekindled within him.
For a split second, he wanted nothing more than to agree to Iris’s request, but when he thought of Cynthia and the
Shears, he forced himself to swallow his own words!
The Shears helped him plenty, and they were the reason he, an orphan with nothing under his name, could even
make it to this point. He was always grateful to the Shears for their help. As for Cynthia, she was there for him
during his most trying and lonely times, and if he abandoned her and chose to reconcile with Iris instead, not only
would he be turning his back on the Shears, but even break Cynthia’s heart!
There was no way he could bring himself to do something like this!
Even though he loved Iris with all his heart, the rational side of him knew that he could not betray or hurt Cynthia!
After a long silence, Leon finally came to a decision.
His rationality overcame his emotions.
“I’m sorry, Iris, but our relationship has already come to an end. If you want, I think we can remain friends, and I
promise I’ll try my best to help you if you ever need any help in the future, but I don’t think we should get back
together,” Leon said, taking a deep breath.
Initially, he referred to her as Miss Young, but now, they were back to a first–name basis. This meant that he
forgave Iris for all that she did, but unfortunately, one could not turn back time, and there was no way he could go
back to Iris’s side after what happened!

Cynthia a lifetime of happiness!” a bitter smile crossed Iris’s face, one that seemed to carry far more meaning than
what she let on.
Even though she anticipated Leon’s rejection beforehand, she still could not help feeling devastated at being turned
down once again.
At this moment, all her emotions and feelings toward him turned sour!
“Iris, what are you trying to do?” Leon’s heart sank as he realized something was wrong.
“Leon, it was because of you that I even managed to live until today. You saved me, and yet I failed to repay your
gratitude and even hurt you multiple times and kicked you out. This is all my wrongdoing, and today,
I’ll give my life back to you, so that from today onwards, we owe each other nothing!”
