Jennifer was even more confused! Zack's sudden retreat was caused by Henry rather than Lewis.She could not believe Zack's sudden retreat was due to Henry, not Lewis. However, it was real, and she had to accept it regardless!She wondered what kind of power Henry possessed that could make Zack so fearful.Mike, on the other hand, was very excited. He reasoned that Henry, despite his poor treatment of him, had to have saved him that day. However, he was unaware that Henry had not said anything at the time; Zack had retreated on his own.After Zack finished speaking and received no response from the other end, he nervously asked, "Did I say anything wrong, Ms. Miller? Please don't blame me if I did.""It's okay," Lydia said, shaking her head.However, Jennifer could not accept that and asked, "What's your relationship with Henry, Lord Perlo? Why do you listen to him?"Zack hesitated for a moment before saying, "I listen to Mr. Ford.""Mr. Ford?" Jennifer was stunned.Lydia under
"What? Henry was the one who helped us join the Everising Chamber of Commerce?" Jennifer was incredulous."He was the one who confronted Mrs. Sheltzer and scared Sebastian away? Even Lord Perlo today?"How could a bumpkin like him possess such abilities? Are you sure you are not being misled by Henry?" Jennifer asked."No, I'm not. I discovered everything myself. Besides, he couldn't have misled us about what happened tonight, could he?" Lydia asked."If that were the case, then Henry must've kept himself hidden." Jennifer's mind was shaken. She considered that if Henry truly possessed such incredible abilities, she would not need to look for another son-in-law."Lydia's right, Mom. I've told you Henry is extraordinary, far beyond your imagination," Mike said."Have you noticed something, Mike?" Jennifer had previously believed that her son was acting irrationally, but she realized that everything else about him was perfectly normal aside from his opinion of Henry. In fact, he ha
After Lydia successfully invited Henry, Jennifer finally let her go back to her room. When William returned, he was equally stunned to hear the news. He had not expected Henry to have such impressive abilities, which explains his usual arrogance. It appeared that they needed to resolve their disagreements the next day....Henry had not arrived by 11:00 a.m. the next morning. That made Jennifer nervous. She asked Lydia nervously, "Why hasn't Henry arrived yet? Can you call him and ask him where he is?Lydia felt helpless in the face of Jennifer's shallowness. Her mother used to do everything she could to drive Henry away, but she could not wait to see him then.Just then, a servant at the door came in and announced, "Henry has arrived, Mrs. Miller.""That's fantastic! But he's not someone you can call by his name; instead, address him as Mr. Truman!" Jennifer scolded."Yes, I was wrong," the servant quickly said.'You haven't spoken like this before. You used to drive him away w
Lydia was stunned. She wanted to explain that it was not a joke, but she could not bring herself to do so. She realized she did not want to divorce him."Why are you just standing there? Why aren't you saying anything?" Jennifer grew impatient."I'll do as you wish," Lydia said, lowering her head, her face flushed.She obviously did not want to get divorced, so she took advantage of that opportunity to back out."That's right. Henry. Lydia doesn't want a divorce either," Jennifer said, pleased with her daughter's response."What nonsense are you talking about, Mom?" Lydia protested."Am I talking nonsense? I understand what you're thinking. I wanted you to leave Henry before, but you didn't listen; now I'm suggesting we cancel the divorce because you're more agreeable to that than anyone else," Jennifer said."Mom!""Okay, I'll stop."Jennifer then turned to Henry and said, "I treated you badly in the past, mostly due to misunderstandings."I thought you were a useless freelo
Lydia quickly said, "It's already noon, and I'm hungry. Should we start serving food?""Yes, let's talk at the dining table," Jennifer said."Yeah, Henry, we should have a good session today," William said with a smile, pulling Henry to the dining table. He even intended to offer Henry the main seat.Henry felt embarrassed and insisted on giving it to William.William was pleased about it. He praised Henry as being more gentlemanly and polite than the young masters of those prominent families. He even claimed that Henry was well-mannered and courteous as if he had been raised that way since childhood.Henry smiled bitterly to himself. Even though their attitude was excellent, he was not used to it, especially when it was excessively good."From now on, we'll put Lydia in your care, Henry. You must treat her well," William said."Be assured, Uncle. I will," Henry responded."Call me Dad.""You should sleep in Lydia's room tonight. I hope to have a grandchild soon," William said
Lydia's face dimmed as she considered it.If Henry married into the Ford family, it would mean the end for her and Henry.She felt uncomfortable just thinking about it. However, she was unable to escape that fact. Otherwise, things would get even more chaotic."What!"William and Jennifer's expressions shifted dramatically as they exchanged glances.Especially Jennifer, who thought, 'I knew it. How could Henry, a mere bumpkin, wield such enormous power? I didn't expect his luck to be so good that he could win Chansey's heart. But if that's the case, I need to change my strategy.'If Henry can only gain power by being with Chansey, then he can't be with our daughter. He will have no power and may even offend Mr. Ford, resulting in the Millers' downfall.'When they realized that, they cursed Lydia for being foolish, nearly destroying the Millers. Fortunately, she raised the issue early. Otherwise, they might have forced Lydia to be with Henry, which could have been very bad for th
That proposal baffled both Lydia and Mike.What a mess!Lydia was furious.How could they propose that she and Henry become sworn siblings?Henry was astounded by Jennifer's idea. What stunned them even more was William's suggestion. "Speaking of which, I have a better idea."Since we're already so close, why don't you acknowledge us as your godparents? Then we'll really be one big family."Henry was speechless. He had no idea when they had become so close.Lydia could not take it anymore; she said, "Dad, Mom, enough. What do you take me for?""What? Henry and Ms. Ford are a perfect match. They're destined to be together. This is for your own good," Jennifer replied angrily. She could not understand why Lydia did not understand it.After all, Henry was meant to be with Chansey. Setting things up early would result in numerous benefits later on."Yes, you did good."Lydia was upset about Jennifer's words. Even Henry was implicated.Henry could not help but feel stunned."He
Lydia was happy, but she said, "I don't care about what you think anymore.""Are you sure you won't regret canceling our divorce?" Henry asked."You can regret it if you want," Lydia said.She turned and walked away.She was irritated that Henry brought it up again, which was pointless.Henry smiled. He realized Lydia cared about him, even if she would not admit it. That was fine; he did not mind it.He recalled his childhood—He might have died long ago if Lydia had not helped him.He had a higher tolerance for the angel in his heart.When Lydia returned inside, Jennifer asked, "Be honest with me, Lydia. What are you thinking right now?""What do you mean?""I'm talking about Henry. Don't even think about being with Henry. Have you ever considered how Mr. Ford might treat our family if Henry were with you?"Lydia paused momentarily before saying, "That's a future matter; we'll talk about it later.""Okay, it appears that you really want to be with Henry. That's simply impos
