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.
