Chapter 20: Margaret Cussed Henry
Chapter 20As Margaret collected the velvet box, she opened it to reveal a delicate crystal necklace. The necklace was no doubt a breathtaking masterpiece, crafted from pure platinum and adorned with a flawless, rare blue diamond at its center. Smaller diamonds were delicately arranged around it, catching the light with every movement. Its design was elegant yet unmistakably luxurious.Margaret gasped the moment she brought it out of the box, staring at it. Dorcas couldn't control herself either. She quickly took the necklace from Margaret, carefully scrutinizing it with wide eyes. Jonathan couldn't stop grinning in satisfaction as he sat there observing the expressions on both Margaret's and Dorcas's faces. He was content to see their shocked expressions.“This is... genuine!” Her mouth gaped in astonishment. “Of course, it is," Jonathan nodded proudly.Looking up, Dorcas stared at Jonathan. "How much did you buy it for?”"Twenty thousand dollars,” Jonathan casually replied as th
Chapter 19: Jonathan Brings Something for Margaret
Chapter 19Jonathan's vision blurred for a few seconds from the impact of Henry's furious slap. He could barely see clearly as he staggered backward. But then, he held himself, managing to stay steady while clutching the spot where Henry had slapped him. “How dare you think I would trade my wife for your cheap money?" Henry barked at him. Dorcas, who had been seated, watching the exchange between the two men before Henry finally slapped Jonathan, suddenly rose to her feet. Her eyes flushed with anger as she confronted Henry. “How dare you lay your filthy hand on Jonathan? Were you stupid or blind to recognize that Jonathan was only trying to help your miserable life?" Henry wasn't surprised when he looked at Dorcas. In fact, this is exactly what she had always wanted: for him to be out of the granddaughter's life for good. “Could you listen to yourself?" Henry asked, frowning. “I should trade Margaret for just two million dollars?" Dorcas misinterpreted Henry's words. Thus, she
Chapter 18: Henry Slaps Jonathan
Chapter 18Jonathan Taylor was one of those men who had been chasing after Margaret endlessly. Although some of the men stopped chasing Margaret at some point after she got married to Henry, Jonathan didn't cease. To Jonathan, Henry didn't deserve a beauty goddess like Margaret, and since he was from a rich family, he believed he could still win Margaret over with his money. The moment Dorcas noticed someone walking into the room, she lifted her eyes, and immediately she saw Jonathan Taylor; her face lit up with a mixture of surprise and excitement.“Jonathan Taylor!” She quickly dropped the newspaper she was reading onto the table and rushed forward to Jonathan. “It's you!" Dorcas said, giving Jonathan a brief hug before gently pulling back. “How are you doing? You didn't tell us you were coming around." Jonathan tilted, smiling back at her. “Good morning, Grandma. I'm sorry I was supposed to let you all know I was coming.”"There's no need to apologize." She waved it off with h
Chapter 17: Jonathan Taylor's Entry
Chapter 17Subconsciously recognizing whose voice it was, Henry instantly jerked awake, jumped out of bed, and abruptly rushed to Margaret's side. She was visibly shaking in slight fear, her eyes wide.Henry grabbed her to his side. “What's the matter? What's wrong?” He hurriedly asked, his voice sharp with concern and panic.Margaret slowly pulled away from his hug. “I'm fine," she replied. “Guess it was a cockroach that walked on me." Hearing that, the expression on Henry's face suddenly changed, and he burst into a short laugh.Margaret looked at him and frowned. “What's funny? Why are you laughing?” Henry halted. "Because of…" He couldn't help but start to laugh again, recalling Margaret's response, “A common cockroach, and you screamed the way you did? Thought you were some kind of brave lady?” He teased.Margaret glared at him. “Just shut your mouth! You think if I knew it was a cockroach I would have shouted?”"Lies of the highest order!” Henry playfully saidMargaret didn'
Chapter 16: Can I share the bed with you?
Chapter 16Right after Henry's words dropped, Margaret couldn't help but instantly turn to him, staring. For a moment, his confident words made her heart leap, the kind that happens to you whenever someone promises to do something that has been seeming impossible for you. However, Margaret couldn't tell if her heart had actually jumped for excitement or from something else.Suddenly, a deep frown appeared on her face. “What's even wrong with you lately, Henry?" She asked, clearly frustrated already.From the tone of her voice, Henry could easily understand that Margaret was only underrating him. "But I'm serious about it,” Henry said confidently, his expression unreadable. "I can help you talk to the new—" “Stop it already," Margaret cut him off, holding her hand up at him. She glared at him. “As you can see, I'm just returning from work, and I need some rest, so please stop all this nonsense because I'm clearly not in the mood for it." Saying that and without waiting for a respon
Chapter 15: Henry Suggests, Margaret Rejects
Chapter 15After Henry snatched the keys from Dorcas's hand, he quickly caught up with Margaret. The latter, clueless about what had transpired behind her back, stepped into the room, and then Henry followed. Margaret set her bag on the table near the bed before sitting on the bed, her mind still occupied. A few seconds passed before she looked up at Henry. “Do you know who that young man was?" She inquired.Henry shook his head. No, I don't know him." Margaret didn't say a word after Henry's response.Henry stared at her, then reluctantly asked. “Why? Is it because of what just happened? I don't think you should bother yourself thinking about it. Perhaps that was the universe rewarding your good heart.”Margaret frowned slightly, and for a moment, she didn't utter a word. But after some time, she then heaved, not saying anything afterward. Henry observed her expression. “You should be excited about it instead." Then he added, “By the way, how was work today? You said you lost a c
