"I don’t think that's a long time,” replied Yvonne as she waved her hand.
Henry pursed his lips, "How is that not long?"
Yvonne shook her head and said, "It’s not. Plus, you said you love me, so I'll also take this time to test you continuously to see how much you mean your words. I f I find that you are lying to me at any point, I'll be able to pull out immediately.”
She chuckled.
Henry raised her chin and approached closer. "What you mean to say is that you would like to try to date m e again?"
A hint of surprise flashed through her eyes.
Although she did not know how he came to that conclusion, she had no intention of resisting either.
She had desperately wished to be able to enjoy a sweet and memorable relationship before being married, but that wish was dashed when she met him.
Since he had said that now, she might as well play along with his tune.
Thinking of this, she sighed a breath of relief and mustered up the courage to say, "Are you willing to then?"
"I could give it a try." Henry released her chin.
Love after marriage. That sounded interesting. 2
Yvonne smiled, yet she still felt nervous inside. Even she found it unbelievable. “So that means you agree?"
Her eyes glowed with excitement.
Henry nodded. "I do.”
Although she had not forgiven him yet, he has finally found an opportunity that he could grab onto.
In fact, she had somewhat forgiven him already when she said she would consider reciprocating his feelings for her.
After he sent Dominic to prison for a few months, they would truly reconcile.
Thinking of this, Henry asked Yvonne first, "So, can I g 0 up for some tea now?"
Yvonne lowered her head and replied softly, "Yes."
Henry curved his lips upwards. "Let's go then."
He grabbed her hand and guided her upstairs together.
Along the way, Yvonne was still dazed.
She seemed to still doubt everything that happened that day.
She couldn't believe that Henry had promised to take revenge and she had readily forgiven him. But to top it all off, she couldn't believe that they were about to
begin dating again.
Love after marriage sounded somewhat weird, yet that did not stop her from hoping that the best had yet to come.
"What's going on in your head?" Henry couldn’t help himself but ask as he looked at the woman who was silently laughing to herself as they entered the elevator.
Yvonne gently coughed and replied, "It's nothing, I was just wondering if this was all a dream."
"A dream?" Henry squinted his eyes and looked at her, and then pinched her face. "Feel anything?"
"Of course," said Yvonne as she looked at him with a strange expression.
"Then your question is answered." Henry put down his hands and continued, “You're not dreaming if you can feel something."
"I know, it’s because I know I’m not dreaming. That's why it all feels so surreal. Just a few days ago I dreamt that you had avenged our child and myself, dreamt that you loved me deeply. Now, all of that has come true, I truly feel..." She suddenly covered her face and began to sob.
Henry reached out to pull her hand away from her face. "Are you crying?"
"I’m not," replied Yvonne with reddened eyes.
She was obviously overjoyed.
