Henry vanished from where he stood as soon as the others left.Seeing Lydia in so much pain had torn at his heart, making it hard to breathe. Yet, he could not say a word, or he would violate the agreement with the mysterious person. It would be too easy for the person to notice his transgression.Lydia cried as she returned to her car. She could not hold back her sobs. Her cries were heart-wrenching.Perhaps Lydia had cried for too long, and Henry moved too fast. He was already nearby when she got to her car and saw her state. He was even faster than John and the others, who had only appeared on the scene.Lydia tried to control her emotions when she saw her parents before she drove off. It was clear she did not want to speak with them.John and the others wanted to persuade Lydia to make peace with Henry. They hurriedly called her, but she did not answer and soon turned off her phone.Jennifer was frantic as she said, "What if Lydia does something drastic? Then we'll lose our c
Lydia sat in her car for a long while, lost in thought, before finally stepping out and walking into the hotel. Memories of that fateful day filled her mind, but she could not recall the room number since she had not booked it herself. However, the date was etched in her memory.She had no idea what she intended to do; perhaps she was just avoiding going home. Lydia approached the reception and asked about the room Henry had booked under his name on that particular day.The receptionist hesitated, as customer information was confidential, but Lydia pulled out 1,500 dollars in cash.Fortunately, Henry had used his real name for the reservation. Otherwise, she might not have found it."Room 1006," the receptionist finally said."Is the room still available?" Lydia inquired."It is," the receptionist replied, puzzled about what that stunningly beautiful woman was up to. It did not seem like a typical cheating spouse scenario."I'm taking the room tonight.""Of course!"The recept
Henry was slightly taken aback by Lydia's reaction; she thought she was dreaming.As Lydia started to cry again, Henry tried to comfort her. "Don't cry. I'm here with you regardless.""You're lying. You'll be gone when the dream ends," Lydia said."I'm not. I worried about you and followed you to the hotel," Henry explained.Lydia opened her eyes and looked at Henry, feeling real. She pinched his face.Henry could not help but laugh and asked, "Did it feel good to pinch my face?""You're real!" Lydia finally realized it."How am I not?" Henry said."I told you, I got worried and followed you here. I arrived in the hotel room before you and waited."Henry knew she would come up when she asked for the room number, so he quickly reached the room before her.With his abilities, entering a hotel room without a key was no problem.However, Lydia's expression quickly turned cold as she asked, "You're about to marry Chansey. Why are you here then?"Henry was confused by Lydia's sud
Initially, Henry could not bear the thought of possibly harming Chansey, but after seeing Lydia's upset, Henry finally made up his mind.He could not let Lydia remain upset and desperate."This is not okay," Lydia said worriedly. She would feel bad if anything happened to Henry's mom because of her, but she could not let Henry and Chansey's relationship turn into true love either."There's nothing wrong with it. We can make our own fate," Henry explained."Are you still mad at me?" Henry then asked with a smile, seeing that Lydia seemed much more at ease.Lydia blushed and said coquettishly, "I am. You didn't tell me anything, making me feel like you're leaving me.""How could I? I promised to always be with you. I didn't tell you because I was afraid of leaking any—""I understand!" Lydia interrupted.Then, she stood on tiptoe and kissed Henry on the lips.Feeling embarrassed, she quickly pulled away, her face flushing red. Henry chuckled and said, "You think you can kiss and
Henry was unaware that his actions had long been under his mother's scrutiny.Henry and Lydia spent a great night together.The following day, as the sun rose, Lydia slowly opened her sleepy eyes.She looked around nervously and saw that Henry was already up, though he seemed not to have noticed her waking up. What happened the previous night was not a dream but vividly clear in her mind. She felt overwhelmingly excited and delighted.Lydia felt embarrassed when she recalled her wild behavior the previous night. Even though Henry had made the first move, she had been very enthusiastic in her response.She quickly closed her eyes again, pretending to be still asleep.However, a gentle voice spoke softly, "I know you're awake."Lydia remained silent, keeping her eyes shut."Well, I guess last night wasn't enough for you," Henry teased, then effortlessly lifted Lydia with his right hand.Lydia, stark naked, blushed furiously and exclaimed, "What are you doing?""Continuing, of c
"You've been supporting him lately. Maybe he sees you differently now.""Forget it. I remember being the harshest toward him.""We were blinded by greed previously and didn't believe you. Otherwise, we wouldn't be in this situation," John said as he sighed helplessly."I've told you," Mike responded gloomily.Henry would have a solution if he were around. After all, if Henry could handle the Trumans, the Scotts would not be a threat to him."If we can't sort things out, I'll try to hold them back. We can look for another chance later," Jane said softly.She was petite, well-mannered, and very pretty. The Millers were highly satisfied with her family background and her looks."Don't worry. I'll handle it," Mike said, gritting his teeth."I'll try to ask for Henry's help. Maybe he'll help me for Lydia's sake."Mike made up his mind and prepared to act. Then, he asked, "By the way, where's Lydia?""Well, she hasn't come home yet," Jennifer replied, briefly explaining the previou
"Mom!" Mike called out immediately, trying to stop the conversation."We can't bother Lydia with this right now."However, Jennifer raised her voice deliberately. "What do you mean? Are you going to let your girlfriend suffer?"Lydia, who had overheard the commotion, asked, "What's going on?""I didn't want to bother you. However, I have no other options now." Mike quickly explained what happened to Jane.Lydia turned to Henry but found him staring at her chest.Her face reddened as she snapped at him. "What are you doing?"Mike sensed something was off, so he asked quietly, "Are you okay?""I—I'm fine. Don't worry, I'll think of something," Lydia assured him."Thank you!" Mike hung up the phone.Then, Jane panicked. "Oh, no! My brother is in Hodbridge to take me home."Mike's face changed drastically; he had not expected Jane's brother to arrive so quickly."Don't panic. Why don't I hide you somewhere?""No, that won't work. My brother has a terrible temper. He knows I've
However, Lydia felt guilty to see Henry behaving that way. She could not help but ask, "Henry, I was oblivious and didn't believe you. I even wanted a divorce. Aren't you mad at me?""Of course, I'm not mad at you. I wouldn't have shown up if I blamed you."As for the divorce, I do understand. You wanted to avoid implicating me."Henry smiled.Lydia breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that. She said happily, "Henry, you're the best!""That's right, I'm the best. Especially my body!""What? You were never so naughty!""What are you thinking about? I mean, I'm fit. Are you overthinking it?"Lydia was embarrassed. She looked like a little girl who had fallen in love for the first time, and her demeanor was nothing like a CEO's.Since they were back together, Henry reminded Lydia to be mindful of her public image and avoid letting the mysterious person know about his affair with Lydia.They must appear separated in public.Several uninvited guests came to the Millers'.
