CHAPTER 193 HE IS ALL ALONE IN THE ROOM

Henry averted his gaze. "No!"

Sue sighed. "Madam still refuses to tell us about it.

She was reluctant to tell me about it when I asked her before."

"I'll definitely find her even though she didn't tell me about it," Henry said calmly.

Sue quickly tried to stop her. "Sir, don't act rashly. You still need to listen to the master and refrain from looking for madam. Madam is angry at you, and she is still engulfed in the deep despair of losing her baby. S o it's better if we let her be with herself and have some peace of mind."

"The problem lies not in whether I want to leave her alone. It's that she wants a divorce now!” Henry frowned. 1

Sue shrugged. "I know, but you're unwilling to agree to the divorce, aren't you? So you can just keep it up and stall for time. While this situation goes on, she might get anxious and impatient. She'll then come home looking for you."

Hearing that, Henry became quiet.

Suddenly, he felt that what she said was quite logical.

"So what I have to do is stall for time? Is that so?"

Henry looked at Sue.

Sue considered it for a moment. "As long as you’re able to endure being pressurized by the master, then it should be fine. If you can't, just get it over and done with. But sir, I've always been meaning to ask you a question. Why are you so reluctant to divorce madam?”

Henry thought for a moment and replied, "I'm not sure. I just feel that I can't reconcile with it."

"Can't reconcile with it?" Sue was confused. "Why do you have such a feeling? The one who should feel like that is madam."

"Why her?" Henry narrowed his eyes in dissatisfaction.

Sue sneered, "It’s because madam has always loved you deeply. For these three years, she always waited for you to come home. She knows that you dislike her, but she always says that you’ll be able to care about her one day as long as she stays by your side all this while. But..."

"But what? Tell me!" Henry commanded her.

Sue sighed once. "But she didn't know that the reason you disliked her was because of your inability to forget about Jacqueline. Besides, I didn't tell her about the things which happened between you and Jacqueline. So she waited for you like a fool all the time. It was not easy. When she finally saw you come home, it was beyond her expectation that she found another woman by your side and it was Jacqueline."

Henry pinched the place between his eyebrows." Jackie returned to the homeland all of a sudden. I

never expected to see her returning home so suddenly."

"Yes, that was when madam knew about your past after Jacqueline returned home. She was grieved for a long time. You didn't even know that she always hid i n the room and cried whenever you went and met Jacqueline."

Henry pursed his lips and remained quiet.

He was really unaware of that.

He just knew that she always seemed to be fine with it every time he went to visit Jacqueline at the hospital. She seemed quite open-minded with it and let him go. But only now he realized that she cried after he went t o Jacqueline.

By the way, she did not have many capabilities. She just knew how to cry, and she liked to cry too. For the past few months, he saw her cry numerous times.

"Anything else?" Henry asked with a hoarse voice.

Sue looked at him in a daze. "What else do you want?"

"Is there anything else about her?" Henry became much more precise this time around.

Sue nodded immediately. "Yes."

She told him every detail about Yvonne’s daily life, including some of the trivial things which had happened.

Henry listened to Sue in silence. The more he listened, the more he realized that he indeed did not know her well.

He thought that he knew her well enough, but it turned out that it was only a tip of the iceberg.

"Sir, madam always feels insecure. She told me several times that she minded Jacqueline's existence. She always said that she's not good enough. She said that she could not be compared to Jacqueline since she was clearly the inferior one. She was also afraid that you'd get back together with Jacqueline and divorce her one day," said Sue in pain.

Henry’s throat became slightly hoarse and dry. "I always tell her that I'll never divorce her, and I'll never get back together with Jacqueline.”

"Yes, you did say those things, but you didn't give her a sense of security. You always became entangled with Jacqueline again soon after you said those things. How could madam not be overthinking? Besides, Jacqueline even called madam and threatened her before. She asked madam to be sensible and divorce you."

"Did Jackie say those things before?” Henry's facial expression worsened.

Sue nodded. "Yes, she called her intentionally just to challenge her. Certainly, madam did not agree to that. But after she hung up the phone, she began to feel upset too. Moreover, it was more than what she could handle given how you treated Jacqueline. You treated Jacqueline so well, so madam always thought that you'd divorce her because of Jacqueline." "Stupid woman," muttered Henry softly.

'Don't I deserve her trust?' 3

Sue glanced at him. "She’s not stupid. She just loves you too deeply, so she cared about all those things. That's also the reason why she could endure all the pain and jealousy all this while just because she wanted to protect this marriage with you. She persisted ceaselessly. But at last, she did not manage t o hold onto it anymore..." 1

"Is it because I didn't bring them to justice for her?" Henry pulled his hands closer, tightening his grasp.

"No. She didn't even care for that as to whether you bring them to justice for her." Sue shook her head. exclusive content.

Henry appeared slightly surprised. "No?"

"Yes, for her, you love Jacqueline so much so that you could even abandon your own baby. It made her understand the absolute truth. No matter how long she persisted still, you'll never notice her.

You dislike your own child. How will you ever fall in love with her?" said Sue.

Henry clenched his fists tighter. "I never disliked that baby."

The moment he learned that he was going to be a father, he clearly felt that he was filled with utter joy.

"What’s the use of saying all this?" Sue waved her hands in lamentation. "After all, madam believes that you disliked your baby, so that's why you didn't do anything to claim justice for the baby. For you, the baby is not as important as Jacqueline. So she saw through it now, and she was deeply disappointed in you. It’s the true reason she wants a divorce." 1

Henry lowered his eyes, and his emotions were hidden. "Sue, do you think that I should agree to the divorce too?"

Sue waved her hands. "Of course I don’t wish for that.

But if I were put in madam's shoes, I can’t help but admit that she did the right thing, requesting for a divorce. It’s because I can’t see what kind of promising future you're able to provide her with."

There was yet another person who thought that their divorce was the right thing to do.

Every one of them thought so, including Grandpa, Frederick, Elliot, and Sue.

Maybe he should really let her go. His senses also reasoned with him that he should sign the divorce agreement without any hesitation.

But he was filled with a great sense of reluctance, stopping him from signing the agreement, making him abandon the thought of going through with the divorce.

"Sir?" Sue stretched her hand out and waved it in front of Henry.

Henry recovered his senses. "What's wrong?”

"Nothing. You're in a daze. Are you alright?" Sue was slightly worried about him.

"Fine.” He waved his hand casually. Then he turned and went upstairs.

After he returned to his bedroom, he did something unknowingly. In fact, he did not know what he was thinking about now. He switched on the light and shouted at the empty room. "Yvonne!" 1

There was no reply.

Then he realized that Yvonne had left. She was no longer there, and he was the only one in the room.

He closed the door and walked lightly toward the bed. He stopped beside the bed. Looking at the empty bed, h e felt a sharp pain all of a sudden.

In the past, he would always see her sitting in bed, waiting for him whenever he entered the room. Now that figure was gone, and she would no longer be there anymore. When he thought about that, he became unknowingly flustered. He felt quite lonely.

What was wrong with him?
