Chapter 31 The Twitter Fight
While casually scrolling through Twitter, Gabriella said to Hugo, "Is this the script you mentioned a few days ago?"Hugo replied, "Yes, it's the one."Gabriella smiled and said, "Congratulations on landing a role you like. Go for it and aim for an Oscar." Hugo had a good reputation for taking up a variety of roles in different genres, which made him well-known among young actors.Recently, he had received unanimous praise for his performance as the male lead in a suspense drama. "Do you like the Oscar Award?" Hugo asked.Gabriella said, "Of course, who doesn't like good actors?"Hugo smiled. "You're right. I'll work hard to win an Oscar and show it to you."After ending the call with Hugo, Gabriella continued scrolling and came across another headline that caught her attention. It was written, "Henry and Hannah."Gabriella could guess the content inside, but her curiosity got the better of her, and she clicked on it. As expected, the headline was associated with a fictional c

Chapter 32 Gabriella's Pregnancy
Henry said, "Anything except for resigning."Gabriella replied, "It's not about that."Henry stated, "Go on."Gabriella said, "I want to continue handling the public relations for the MQ brand, just as I did before. How about it?"Henry put down his fork and looked at her without saying anything. Gabriella smiled briefly and continued eating her meal slowly. "Let's pretend I didn't say anything."She knew this would be the outcome. He was cautious about her and used Imogen to keep her in check. He didn't trust her at all. He didn't believe she wouldn't target Hannah.Henry said, "You can make other requests."Gabriella replied, "No need."Henry couldn't fulfill what she wanted. Henry looked at her and remained silent.As they neared the end of their meal, Henry said, "My grandparents have invited us to dinner at the old villa tonight."Gabriella nodded. "Okay."Perhaps due to Henry and Hannah's trending topic, Albert was aware of Henry's activities and deliberately waited fo

Gabriella pointed to the bathroom inside the room. "I'm done. You can freshen up."Henry picked up his pajamas and entered the bathroom. The scent of the shower gel hung in the air.

As he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with their intimate moments.As Gabriella sat on the bed, browsing her phone before bedtime, she suddenly realized that Henry had been in the bathroom for a while, but she hadn't heard any water running.Curious, she got out of bed and walked to the bathroom door. She could faintly hear heavy breathing from inside. Seconds later, she realized what Henry was doing. She blushed and hurried back to the bed.After a while, the sound of running water from the bathroom stopped. Henry emerged from the bathroom. Feeling the mattress sink beside her, Gabriella quickly fell into a deep slumber.During the night, she woke up in a half-dreamy state, hearing heavy breathing next to

Chapter 34 The Invitation
"Hannah, I promise you I'll be with you. Trust me, I won't break my word."Hannah sobbed. "But you're already married. You're not mine anymore. What do you take me for?"She continued, "If I had known you were married, I would never have contacted you. Never have been with you. How can I face Gabby?" Henry consoled her. "It's my fault. It has nothing to do with you. I've decided to get a divorce with her. I'll go get the divorce certificate immediately."He continued, "Hannah, can you trust me one more time? I won't break my promise." Hannah asked timidly, "Really?"Henry nodded and assured her, "Really."Hannah suddenly threw herself into Henry's arms. She wept. "Ry, I can't bear to leave you. I really can't bear to leave you. If you make me leave you, I might as well die."Henry hugged Hannah and gently patted her back to comfort her."Mr. Henry, I have something to remind you," Annabelle said from the side.He asked, "What is it?"Annabelle said, "Don't forget that Hann

Chapter 35 The Charity Banquet
At 6:00 pm, Gabriella finished work and waited for Henry in the underground garage. After a short while, Henry joined her. Their driver took them to a private styling studio.After makeup and styling, Gabriella changed into her outfit and walked out. Henry, who was already styled, was waiting on the sofa. When he saw Gabriella, he was momentarily captivated.Gabriella had put on delicate makeup. Her alluring peach-shaped eyes, and lips matched her eyeshadow. Her hairstyle was elegantly casual, slightly curled on the sides to frame her face.She wore a sky-blue off-shoulder long dress that bared her shoulders and accentuated her porcelain-like fair skin. Gabriella twirled in front of Henry. "Does this look okay?"Henry nodded, then glanced at her shoes. "Are these heels comfortable for your ankles?" She said, "It's fine."He suggested, "Why not switch to flats?"Considering her pregnancy, Gabriella agreed, "Sure."Henry signaled to the staff, and they brought a pair of flat sho

Chapter 36 Do You Think I Don't Have Emotions
Gabriella followed Henry to the first row. From one of the seats in the first row, Hannah waved to Henry. "Sit here, Ry.""Let's go over." Henry glanced at Gabriella and walked over. Gabriella stiffened, her smile disappearing. She had thought that Henry would sit alone with her. She thought that she had finally won once against Hannah, but now she could see that it was just Henry taking pity on her. "Why are you just standing there?" Henry turned and asked Gabriella. Gabriella lowered her eyes, took a deep breath, and walked forward to sit down next to Henry. "I didn't think Ms. Bennett would also be here." Hannah paled and bit her lip, saying softly, "I'm sorry, Gabby. My manager told me to come. I didn't know you'd be here too, but if you prefer, I can sit at the back."With that, Hannah stood up to go to the back. Henry grabbed her wrist. "There's no need for that. Just sit here." Hannah looked at Gabriella. "But …" "It's fine. She won't mind."Gabriella grip

Chapter 37 Stay Away From Him
At the hospital, the doctor on duty gave Gabriella a thorough checkup. There weren't any major problems. "But I'm pregnant. Will this have any effect?" The doctor considered for a moment before saying, "I suggest that you go to the gynecology department for a checkup.""Okay." The doctor wrote a note about her condition, and Gabriella took it to the emergency gynecology department for a checkup. When she came out from the examination room, Hugo came up to her and asked concernedly, "How is everything? What did the doctor say?" Gabriella said, "There aren't any major problems. I just need to do another checkup. I can take care of the rest. You should go home first. Thank you for all your help tonight, I'll buy you a meal for sure next time." "There's no need for that. Since I came here with you, this bit of time won't make any difference. What checkup do you need to get done? I'll go with you." "The hospital is crowded. After the checkup is done, I'll have to wait a long

Chapter 38 Irreparable
Henry's expression stiffened, and he pressed his lips together, displeased. She must really like Hugo if she was willing to break her own principles like this. "Is there anything else?" Gabriella asked. "What did you do last night?" "I don't need to explain myself to you."She was repeating what Henry had once said to her. Henry frowned and rubbed his forehead. His tone grew stern. "Gabriella, don't be reckless!" It was clear that love made people blind. Gabriella wasn't listening to him at all. He hoped that Gabriella would be happy, but Hugo didn't suit her at all."How am I being reckless?" "I'm concerned about you. Hugo may not be suitable for you, and I hope you can seriously consider this. Don't dismiss my words and do something you'll regret." "Do something I'll regret? What are you referring to? Having an affair?" Gabriella raised her eyebrows. Henry stayed silent. "Before we get officially divorced, I won't have an affair, don't worry. But you … You've

Chapter 39 Cold War
The car drove into the hospital, and Henry found a parking spot. He made his way to the psychologist's clinic and knocked on the door before entering. "Mr. Touissant is here. Ms. Bennett's consultation is done for today. There is no improvement, and in fact, it has gotten worse. I gave her a sedative just now, and she's sleeping." Henry's expression grew serious. "Okay." "Mr. Touissant, I hope that you can take this seriously. Ms. Bennett's condition was improving greatly, but over the past couple of days, it suddenly declined rapidly. The situation has turned grave. She might become severely depressed, and that'll be a difficult situation." "Yes." Henry nodded. Hannah had been overly emotional when she'd heard about his marriage, and her condition had worsened. He walked over to the bed and looked at Hannah's pale face, feeling exceedingly guilty. She had always been such a gentle, bubbly woman, but she'd become mentally ill because of him. Her personality had changed co

Chapter 40 We May Never Meet
Gabriella was startled by the sudden opening of the door, and she looked up at him. Henry walked in slowly and shut the door behind him. "Why did you move to this room?" "I wanted a change of scenery and was planning to move back later." Gabriella asked, "Do you need something?" Henry frowned at Gabriella's tone. He took out a black card and placed it on the bedside table, pushing it toward Gabriella. "Buy whatever you like." Gabriella glanced at the black card. "I don't need it. You can take it back. It's not like I lost anything." "I made a promise to you, and I broke it. I should make it up to you."Gabriella pressed her lips together. "It's fine, really.""You don't need to be polite with me. Gabriella, I know that you're distancing yourself from me on purpose, but there's really no need for that. After we get divorced, you'll still be the beloved granddaughter of Grandma and Grandpa. We may never meet again, so why not just be direct with each other?" Be direct with
