Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 95

"Because you love me!" Jacqueline grasped his arm." The one you love is me, not Yvonne Frey. You'll divorce her and be with me sooner or later. Henry, you can’t leave me."

"Divorce?" Henry pulled his arm away. "When did I say that I'm getting a divorce?"

Jacqueline froze. "You’re not divorcing Yvonne Frey?"

Henry pressed his lips together. "I've never said anything like this nor have I ever thought about it."

Three years ago when he just got married to Yvonne Frey, he might have thought about it. As time passed, however, the thought faded. Now, he felt that it was not too bad to go on like this.

"How can this be..." It was like Jacqueline had received a heavy blow as her lips trembled. "Why won’t you divorce Yvonne Frey? Henry, I am the person that you love. You don't love her. What’s the meaning of maintaining a loveless marriage with her?"

"It's not the meaning, it's duty. I’ve married her, and I need to be responsible toward her," Henry declared.

Jacqueline shook her pale face. "What about me then? What should I do?"

"You?" Henry frowned.

Jacqueline feared up. "Yes. Do you really think that I came back only to treat my illness this time? It's for you too. I wanted to be together with you again..."

Among the men she knew, Henry Lancaster was the best. She would never let him go! More importantly, she wanted that person to regret abandoning her. She wanted him to know that there was a better man than him who was waiting for her. How could she allow Henry to be together with Yvonne Frey!

"What did you say?" Henry was stunned by Jacqueline's words as he looked grim. "You want to get back together with me?"

"Yes..." Jacqueline nodded. "I knew that I was wrong back then, but Henry, I've never forgotten about you. I’ve always been thinking about you when I was abroad, I..."

"But you've never contacted me." Henry's expression was stoic.

Jacqueline bit her lips. "I thought of contacting you but I was afraid of Grandpa Lancaster finding out. He doesn't like me... but Henry, I understand now, as long as we get back together, it doesn't matter if Grandpa Lancaster doesn’t like it. And what I did back then, I won't do it again...” She looked at him in anticipation a s she spoke.

For some reason, Henry was not moved. He felt that Jacqueline was inexplicably fake instead, feeling that her words did not match her heart.

Shaking his head, he suppressed such a thought and said with a distant front, "Jackie, it's impossible between us now..."

"Why is it impossible!" Jacqueline sat up in agitation." Henry, I know, I know that you still love me. And I care about you too. We should be together the most."

"Sorry, Jackie. If you told me this three years ago, I might agree to it but it’s all too late now." Henry looked away.

His marriage with Yvonne Frey was legitimate both b y law and by sex. It was impossible for him to abandon her.

"It's not too late!" Jacqueline hugged Henry's waist." Henry, nothing's too late. As long as you divorce Yvonne Frey, we can still be together. As long as you guys divorce..."

"I won't divorce!"

Jacqueline tightened her hold. "Why not? Don’t say that it's due to responsibility. I don't believe it. If you want to take responsibility, just give her more money. People like her married you for money anyway.”

"She didn't do it for money!" Henry reproached coldly.

Jacqueline widened her eyes. "You’re speaking up for her?"

Henry’s gaze flitted. "I'm not speaking up for her. I’m just telling the truth. She didn’t marry me for my money." "I don’t believe it. You’re siding her. Henry, do you have feelings for her now?" Jacqueline asked shaking.

Henry's expression changed in an instant but he calmed down immediately. "Nothing like that!”
