Henry looked at the woman with hope in his always indifferent eyes. "Since you don't hate me anymore, can we be together again?"
He expected her to say yes.
However, Yvonne avoided his eyes and squeezed her palms. She replied, "No. Although I don't hate you anymore, there are too many complications between u s, so we can't go back to the past."
Henry said suddenly, "You can't get over that stage, can you?"
Yvonne's heart trembled and she didn’t speak. He was right.
Yes, she couldn't get through that, so she couldn't be with him.
Every time she dreamed in the middle of the night, she couldn’t stand the thought of him marrying Jacqueline!
Thinking about it, Yvonne took a deep breath. "Since you know that, why do you want to be with me again?"
"You're the one I've loved from the beginning to end," Henry said. "So I want to be with the one I love. Is that wrong?"
Yvonne choked for a while, but quickly snorted, "And I said yesterday that there are too many people in love i
n this world. Not everyone has to be together."
"That’s their business. It has nothing to do with us. You know my character. I'll never let go when I fall in love, so I won't let you go." Henry looked into her eyes with her extremely stubborn eyes.
Yvonne sighed, "I won't step back anyway."
Henry stood up. "I know, but I'll take it slowly. I'm sure I'll be able to impress you again someday."
Yvonne looked at his firm eyes and pursed her lips." Then you’ll wait slowly."
Henry switched the topic and stopped talking about it. "Well, I will. Alright. Get up and wash up now. I've prepared breakfast."
After talking too much, they'd only get back to the starting point, arguing about whether to reconcile or not.
So it was better to put that topic aside and impress her with practical actions instead.
He had searched online before he came. People on the internet said that women were emotional. As long as men used warmth, even the indifferent women would be moved. Men would always succeed in the end if they were thick-skinned. He felt that it made sense and decided to use it.
"Breakfast?" Yvonne was slightly stunned. "When did you make breakfast?"
Didn't he just lie on her bed and sleep?
Henry straightened his cuffs and replied, "I slept for a while after I prepared them before dawn. Get up quickly.”
Talking about it, he wanted to stretch out his hand to help her out of the bed.
Yvonne slapped him away. "That's not right. Who told you to touch my kitchen? And how did you get in?”
"I asked management to open the door for me.” Henry calmly replied, "As for the kitchen, you're my wife.
Why can't I use your kitchen?"
"Wife?" Yvonne's eyes widened. "Who's your wife?”
Henry answered seriously, "You!"
Yvonne smiled angrily, "Henry, didn't you forget that six years ago, we...”
"In my heart, you're my wife. Alright, get up quickly.” With that, Henry left the room.
Yvonne saw that he had gone. She wanted to say that nothing would work, but she could only get angry in the end.
After washing up, she walked out to the living room and saw Henry wearing her apron, serving cereal at the dining table.
When Henry saw her coming out, he put down the bowl in his hand and waved to her. "Come here."
Yvonne walked over with a dark face and glanced at the cereal and toast on the table. She felt a little
touched.
Seeing her stand still, Henry pulled the chair for her and said, "Sit down and taste them. I haven’t been in the kitchen for many years. The last time I went into the kitchen was when I cooked for you six years ago."
