Chapter 41 I Don't Like Her
Gabriella felt uneasy when she saw Hannah beside him. She quickly looked away and nudged Colene.Colene noticed the nearby couple, and her smile quickly vanished. She showed contempt instead.They approached and greeted him. "Mr. Henry."Henry nodded slightly.So Gabriella was meeting Colene, not her lover."Gabby, Ms. Colene." Hannah was surprised to see them and quickly explained, "Gabby, you're here too. I'm sorry, Ry and I ..."Henry felt sympathy for Hannah. Since her return, this display of cautiousness differed from her usual gentle and calm self.These changes happened because Hannah found out about his marriage.She didn't want to leave him, but her sense of morality made her feel like the other woman, leading to constant inner turmoil that worsened her health."There's no need to explain. I already know. Please enjoy your time, we won't bother you."Gabriella tried to leave while holding Colene's hand, but Colene stayed calm and asked with a smile, "Ms. Hannah, who

Chapter 42 Henry You Are Heartless
Gabriella gripped her clothes tightly and felt a wave of sadness.Hannah was right, she admired Henry.When she first joined the Toussaint family, she was content with stealing a few glances at Henry by the table whenever he visited the old villa.During that time, Hannah was openly with him."Later, due to personal reasons, I had to leave and chose to break up with him. He just never wanted to. You might have noticed he goes on business trips every July. He's actually visiting me because that's when we first met."Gabriella held her breath, and her mind went blank.She was trembling.She didn't want to accept what Hannah said, and even though she wished to argue, she couldn't.Since their first year of marriage, Henry would be away on lengthy business trips every July.Gabriella thought they had recently reconnected, but in fact, they had been in contact for a while!He's certainly committed, visiting his ex-lover annually, coming back from abroad, and playing the role of he

Chapter 43 Lied to Her for Three Years
The driver had parked outside, and Gabriella silently took the back seat, gazing out of the car window at the night scenery the entire trip. The driver was focused on the road ahead.It was noisy outside as car horns blared. A sharp contrast to the quiet atmosphere inside the car.Henry looked at Gabriella with a puzzled look and asked, "If you've the card I gave you, why did you return the items and repurchase them?" He had received a text message saying that the previous charge had been refunded to his account. However, she still had the items, which meant she had bought them again with her own money.Gabriella kept looking out the window and replied, "I'll spend as I wish, and it's none of your business." "Are you mad because I went shopping with Hannah?" "You've done much for Hannah, haven't you? It was just shopping, why would I be mad?" Gabriella smirked, leaned back in her chair, and closed her eyes."What's wrong then?" What's wrong?She also wondered what was wr

"Let's discuss the divorce agreement again. Meet me in the study," said Henry. "Alright."Gabriella put the towel down, followed Henry, and closed the door on their way to the study.Henry found the digital copy of the divorce agreement and added new clauses to it. He then moved aside for Gabriella, saying, "Take a look at the new additions I've included."Gabriella leaned over the table, one hand supporting her, and looked at the red-highlighted lines on the screen. The first addition is that they would divorce but continue living in the same house. Even after getting divorced, they would still need to reside together in Astral Heights Villa.She needed to keep the divorce a secret from his grandparents and, when required, accompany him as a couple to the old villa for visits until they discovered the divorce.

Chapter 45 She's Not the One
Gabriella dressed, drove to Terra's provided address and entered the private room. Two people were on the couch, Terra and Henry.Terra leaned on the couch and lit a cigarette.Henry sat on the couch, eyes closed, leaning against the backrest with half a glass of wine in hand.He briefly opened his eyes when he heard the door open, then closed them again.Countless empty bottles were on the floor.Gabriella frowned and asked, "Did he drink all of these?"Terra nodded and said, "Yeah.""Ry," Gabriella called and approached him, removing the glass from his hand and putting it on the table.Henry opened his dark eyes, fixed his gaze on her, and remained silent.Gabriella locked eyes with him, and her heart fluttered slightly. She couldn't tell if he was drunk or not at that moment."It's late. Let's go home."Henry rubbed his forehead, then got up from the couch, swaying unsteadily. Gabriella quickly went to support him. "Can you walk?""Yes," Henry's hoarse voice said as

Chapter 46 Signs of Guilt
Top Comment: "No way, do people actually think that the son of the Toussaints is innocent? He's been enjoying himself without getting caught."The comments section was a mess, with Henry's fans defending him, and Hannah's fans keeping their distance from Henry. There were also bystanders watching the drama and haters who kept criticizing.There was a trending keyword: Gabriella. The situation unfolded last night, and after a few hours of research, internet users found Gabriella, the person involved in Henry's affair, on Twitter. They compared the photos on her private Twitter account, and the clothing was an exact match. Moreover, there was a previous conflict between Gabriella and Hannah. Many internet users already knew that she is the adopted granddaughter of Albert Toussaint, the chairman of the MQ brand. Comments under Gabriella's tweets showed two extremes. Some bystanders and Hannah's critics speculated that because Gabriella was the chairman's adopted granddaughter, s

Chapter 47 The Difference Between Love and Apathy
Gabriella was taken aback when she heard Hannah mention cooking. She just couldn't link Henry to cooking."I bet you didn't know what a good cook he is, Gabby. He lived on his own during university and honed his culinary skills. He used to cook for me often."Gabriella knew Hannah was saying these things on purpose to provoke her, but it still made her heart ache.A man had to genuinely love a woman if he were willing to cook for her. But throughout their three-year marriage, Henry hadn't so much as stepped into the kitchen. Gabriella hadn't even known he could cook.She'd heard that cooking was a good way for a couple to deepen their relationship. Even with a housekeeper, Gabriella had occasionally cooked. Yet Henry had never helped her.This was the difference between love and apathy.Gabrielle suppressed her heartache and said, "Hand the phone to Henry. I have something to ask him.""What is it? I can ask him for you."This was an obvious provocation. Gabriella and Henry wer

Chapter 48 Three Years Isn't Enough for Me to Warm Him
"Hi, Dad. It's Grandpa's death anniversary, so I came to see him. That's not all, though. I also wanted to tell you that I'm gonna divorce him soon. I'm sure you'll be surprised to hear this."It wasn't too long ago that I was telling you about how well he treated me, right? It's only been a few months since then, but we're about to part ways soon. Will you find this ridiculous?"I think it is, too. From the day he brought up the divorce till now, I've been quite lost. How did we end up here …" Gabriella trailed off.After a while, she continued, "If someone had told me back then that Henry and I would be getting divorced just a handful of months later, I never would've believed them. How could I possibly agree to a divorce when I loved him so?"Yet that's exactly what happened. It's a long story, but I don't really know where to start. I'm pregnant, Dad. You're about to have a grandkid. If you can hear me from the afterlife, I hope you'll bless my baby and make sure they come to t

Chapter 49 He's Going to Remarry Soon
Gabriella recounted the accident with as much detail as she could remember. It was pretty much the same as what the police had seen from the surveillance cameras.The policeman recorded her statement. "You're guessing that the black and white cars did this on purpose, right? Are you sure you don't know the driver in the black car?""I'm positive," Gabriella said."Then, did you see the face of the driver in the white car?""No. He was too far behind me. I saw him a couple of times from the rearview mirror when I was switching lanes, but he was too far for me to get a clear glimpse at his face.""Got it." The policewoman took a comforting tone as she said, "Don't worry. We're already thinking of ways to determine the suspects' identities so we can arrest them. It shouldn't take too long."There were surveillance cameras everywhere nowadays. They wouldn't be able to hide."Thank you," Gabriella said."You can call your family now. We didn't find your handphone at the scene of the

Chapter 50 I'll Make Your Wish Come True
To Gabriella's surprise, Henry asked, "What do you wanna have?""What can you cook?" she asked in return."Anything.""I'll have a bacon-and-egg stir fry, then. Throw some vegetables in, too," Gabriella said."Alright, then. I'll go buy the ingredients." Henry put his phone on the table. "I'll leave my phone here. Maria will call when she arrives, so you can tell her the room number.""Okay." Gabriella nodded while looking at him, but her eyes were dazed. She didn't expect Henry to agree. Did this mean she held a tiny spot in his heart?As soon as this thought formed in Gabriella's mind, she shoved it out. She had to stop thinking so highly of herself. Henry didn't like her at all. They still had to get the divorce over and done with tomorrow.She was afraid she wouldn't ever muster the courage to bring it up again if they were to miss this round.The phone rang. Gabriella picked it up but could only see a blurry screen. She answered the call to hear a woman's voice ring out on
