Back home , I started packing . While the system wouldn't let me control the appliances , I could at least pack my own belongings . Halfway through , Jaxon came home . " What are you doing ? " " Moving out . " He immediately grabbed the box from my hands . " You're not leaving ! " " There's no place for me in this house anymore . " I gestured at the smart devices . " I'm just a guest , remember ? Only the master can stay permanently . " " I'll have it changed immediately ! " he said urgently . " I'll delete all of Melody's access and give you full administrative rights ! " He actually started operating his phone. Minutes later , the system announced : " Access transfer complete . Ms. Iris Sterling is now the primary administrator . " " See ? " He looked at me hopefully . " Now you're the master of this house . " Turns out it only took a few minutes to change the access rights , but he still kept delaying it . I shook my head . " It's too late . " " Iris ! " " Jaxon , don't you understand ? " I looked at him . " The problem isn't access rights - it's your heart . Your heart has grand business visions and detailed life plans , but no room for me . " " I do have room for you ! Everything I do is for you ! " " No , it's for your ideal life . " " In your plan , career success by 30 , financial freedom by 35 , IPO by 40. The wife handles domestic duties and maintains your perfect image . I'm just a role in that plan . " " It's not like that ... " " Then tell me , " I asked him , " if I got sick and it interfered with your work , would you choose to stay with me or go to the office ? " He fell silent . " See ? You know the answer but you don't dare say it . " 10:20 Hell Yeah Forget the Other Woman . My Smart House Was Cheating On Me ! 72.7 % Chapter 9 Suddenly , his phone rang - Melody . He glanced at it and hung up . But it immediately rang again . " Answer it , " I said calmly . " It must be something ' very important . " " He reluctantly picked up . " What is it ?" " God ! Jax ! " Melody was crying on the other end . " All the servers crashed ! We can't access any data ! All the materials for tomorrow's IPO roadshow won't open ! " Jaxon's face went pale . " How is that possible ? " " I don't know . Everyone from IT is here but no one can fix it ... Jax , if tomorrow's roadshow fails , the company's IPO plan is ruined ! " He looked at me , conflicted . " Go , " I said . " Iris ... " " This is who you are - there's always something more important than me . " I pulled my suitcase . " I'll stay at Mom's for a few days . My lawyer will send the divorce papers . " " Wait ! " He caught up . " I won't go to the office . I'll stay with you . " I stopped . " Really ? " " Really . " He put down his phone .
