Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 197

Yvonne's eyes were a little red and her hand trembled with the phone in her grip. "If...if he really loves me, why would he hurt me so much?"

Shane was rendered a little speechless by her question. It took him a while to find his voice again," Because even he himself did not realize that he is in love with you, so..."

"I don’t want to hear that!" Yvonne’s voice choked with emotions. “Even if he doesn’t love me, he shouldn't have treated me this way! He shouldn't have sacrificed me and the child in my womb to save his first love! I will never forgive him!"

The sacrifice of her child was a sorrow that would forever shackle her.

Even if Henry wasn't the direct cause of the child’s death, Dominic had done all those horrible things to her and her unborn baby because he was aware of the significance of the Conrads and Jacqueline in Henry's eyes.

So even if Henry wasn’t the murderer, he was one of the culprits. And she would never forgive him for that!

Shane also knew how much pain losing the child had brought to Yvonne. He could understand why she would blame Henry for it. Even so, he still hoped that she would move on from that incident.

He sighed then tried to talk some sense into her, "I can understand why you won't forgive Henry. But Yvonne, are you sure you really want to allow this to affect you for the rest of your life?"

"What are you trying to say?" Yvonne's voice turned cold as she wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes with the back of her hand.

The expression on Shane's face softened. "I’m telling you to move on. If you keep dwelling on it..."

"So you want me to forgive Henry? Or are you trying to make me forgive the Conrads?" Yvonne interrupted him angrily.

Shane held his forehead. "Yvonne, you have misunderstood me. I'm not asking you to forgive Henry or let go of your hatred. I’m only exhorting you t o let go of what you should let go of, so that you won’t regret anything in the future."

"What would I regret?" Yvonne questioned back at him.

Shane looked in the direction of the ward. "Henry, of course. I just told you that the person he loves is you. I also said plenty to sober him up. By the time he realizes his feelings for you, he will surely come to you. Won’t you go back with him then?"

"I won't. Putting aside whether he is genuinely in love with me, why would I go back with him after telling him that I'm going to divorce him?" Yvonne said stubbornly.

Shane raised his eyebrow slightly. "But can you bear t o do that? You love Henry. Are you sure you can bring yourself to cut off all ties with him?"

Yvonne was choked into silence.

Of course she couldn't bear to do that, but she just couldn’t let go of things.

Letting go meant she forgave him for his actions of sheltering the Conrads and his indifference toward their child.

So she definitely couldn’t get back with him, no matter how unbearable it was for her. She had no rights to forgive this father on her child’s behalf!

Thinking up to this point, Yvonne quickly readjusted her expression and grew determined. "Shane, I'm really confused. You were the person who suggested that I leave Henry and even supported our divorce. Why are you going against your own words now and seem to be hoping that Henry and I would get back together?"

Shane felt a pang of hurt when she asked the question, but he feigned indifference. "Because I want you to be happy. I only initially supported your divorce because I couldn't stand watching your unrequited love for him despite the bad treatment he gave you. But now that I found out that he loves you and you're both in love with each other, I wish for both of you to stay together and not miss out on each other "But do you still think that we can continue this marriage after so many things have happened between us?" Yvonne asked.

Shane fell silent for a few seconds. "I know, but..."
