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'. The y
The Shaw family already knew about the Miller Group. They immediately investigated the young man after learning that their daughter was very close to Mike.Mike was an idler and had accomplished nothing.On the other hand, the Miller family had been doing very well. However, they were still far behind the Shaw family.Most importantly, Jane was favored by Nathan Scott, who came from one of the prominent four families in Eastonia. It was a perfect match from heaven. George could not allow Jane to be dragged down by such a loser family.John's face turned red after being humiliated. He was embarrassed. If he had known it, he would not have come out.He did not know what was going on, but he had been humiliated every day since he drove Henry away.William originally wanted to come out to defend his woman, but he did not.He felt it was pointless to show up and be humiliated by the other party.There was no way around it; their family was weaker.At that moment, he could not help
Jane looked displeased and could not help turning her head to look at Mike.Mike was anxious and quickly said, "Jane, don't listen to him. I'm not afraid of him.""Boy, it seems you want to die. Okay, I'll kill you first." George was trained, and he was strong.That was why Jane was very worried and scared. She hurriedly said, "No, George, I'll go with you. I'll go back with you.""Jane—""Mike, stop talking. I'll go home for now. Don't worry. I'll wait for you," Jane said quickly."I—"Mike wanted to say something else, but he felt an immense pressure moving toward him. George glanced at him coldly as if he would kill him at any time.However, Mike gritted his teeth and said, "Jane, wait for me. I'll go to Eastonia and get you!""Okay!"Jane turned around to block her brother again. She roared, "George, if you dare to hurt Mike, I'll never go back unless I'm dead."George said coldly, "This loser isn't worthy of my time. However, if he dares to come to Eastonia to find you,
Lydia had not planned to go home so soon, but she heard her brother was in trouble.Unexpectedly, as soon as she returned, she heard her mother blaming Henry for not returning to the Miller family. How could Henry be blamed for that?"Mom, you're wrong!"When Henry was here, there was never a time when he did not stand up for us. This time, we're in the wrong. We even drove him away."Why must he go away or be here on our demands? How did we treat him?" Lydia asked angrily.Even though she did not know what happened at home, she could not accept her mother's words.Jennifer was speechless, but she immediately said angrily, "Lydia, you ignored all my phone calls. How dare you come back now?"Where were you when your mother, your grandfather, and even your brother were humiliated by George Shaw?"Where were you when your brother's girlfriend was taken?"You don't care about your family and only care about yourself. Yet, you still have the nerve to accuse me. Aren't you ashamed?"
