    　　Anne didn't expect Henry to yell at her. Her eyes turned red. Feeling that she has been wronged, she said, "Henry, this is for your own good! Ask this woman what means she used to   marry my cousin! That is if she even dares to admit it!"

    　　Meghan said calmly, "I have nothing to admit, but Anne, I'm warning you, if you don't know how to act with manners, I don't mind teaching you."

    　　At this time, Anne had been fuming with jealousy. She hasn't seen Henry speak to her so gently like the way he spoke to Meghan.

    　　"Why? Do you think you're some high mighty person that can't be touched, is that it?"

    　　As Anne said this, she stretched out her hand to push Meghan, but her hand was stopped by Henry.

    　　"Anne, enough is enough!"

    　　"Henry, how long have you known this woman for you to actually believe her over me?"

    　　"I've known Meghan for a long time. You 

    　　"I know there is no love between you and Samuel. Meghan, I can wait for you."

    　　At this moment, Meghan suddenly felt that the phone became hot, her eyelashes trembled, and it took a long time before she said, "Don't wait for me, I'm not worth it."

    　　After speaking, she hung up the phone without hesitation.

    　　Seeing Henry again was like a ray of light in her barren life. He was clean, excellent, and bright, and he ignited her hope many times when she was about to fall into despair.

    　　It may be that she was stunned by this beautiful performance, almost thinking that they could really be together.

    　　The Ji family, like the Zhou family, were well-known families. How could it be possible to accept someone born in a family like hers?

    　　What happened between them three years ago seemed like a dream, and what happened after was a hellish dream.

    　　A dream 

    　　Meghan thought he was referring to the signing of the contract with Shengguang Jewelry. "As you see, I am also a person with a decent career. Why, am I not allowed to return to my old job?"

    　　He said in a deep voice, "Who gives a shit about that?"

    　　Meghan was puzzled. "Then what were you asking?"

    　　"You said..."

    　　As soon as Samuel spoke, Meghan felt nauseous. She quickly covered her mouth, but the sound of retching escaped between her fingers.

    　　Meghan stretched out her other hand to push him back, and said with difficulty, "Mr. Zhou, please stay away from me a little bit. I feel a little sick."

    　　Samuel looked at her coldly. "Continue acting."

    　　Did she think he's unable to see through her act that she was only trying to avoid this confrontation?

    　　"Mr. Zhou, what on earth do you want from me? If it's all right with you, I need to go to the bathroom."

    　　Since the day before yesterday, her morning sickness has been a bit intense, and she has been retching several times just now. She was really going to vomit.

    　　Samuel squeezed her wrist, and his voice was cold, "What the hell was that bit with you and your first love?"

    　　Meghan was stunned for a while. She didn't expect this to be what he wanted to ask.

    　　"Just... first love," Meghan said as she looked up to him. "Mr. Zhou, please don't barge in here just to ask such questions. Don't you think it's funny to talk about this with our current relationship?"

    　　Samuel raised his eyebrows, and the hand holding her wrist increased its strength. "What is the relationship between us now?"

    　　"We're waiting in line to make an appointment for divorce."

    　　"Meghan, stop testing my patience again and again."

    　　Meghan didn't understand, she was just waiting for him to be able to divorce him when he was free.

    　　How was that testing his patience?

    　　As soon as she was about to ask, the uncomfortable feeling came up again, but Samuel took her hand and held it.

    　　In a hurry, Meghan took a trash can, bent over and vomited.

    　　Although Samuel took back his hand quickly, a few drops inevitably managed to get on his cuff.

    　　Samuel's face turned dark in an instant as he gritted his teeth. "Meghan!"

    　　After vomiting, Meghan picked up water and rinsed her mouth, then smiled apologetically at him. "I'm sorry, I couldn't help it."

    　　Samuel took off his suit jacket and threw it aside, opened the window to let the wind blow, trying to diffuse the smell in the room.

    　　"Mr. Zhou, if there's nothing else, I really have to go. But, if you're free to divorce today, I will talk to Sara to take care of the affairs of the magazine, then I will go with you to the Civil Affairs Bureau."

    　　Samuel turned around and looked at her blankly, his expression was a bit colder than when he first came in.

    　　Why was she in such a rush to be divorced? Couldn't she just wait for a few minutes?

    　　At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Sara said, "Meghan, are you done? Editor Lin is looking for you."

    　　Meghan said, "Okay, I'm coming."

    　　She then turned to talk to Samuel. "Mr. Zhou, I'm going out first. Could you please wait for me outside for a while?"

    　　Out of the dressing room, Sara wanted to run while pulling Meghan, but thinking that she was pregnant with a baby in her belly, she could only go at a moderate pace.

    　　Meghan said, "Didn't you say that Editor Lin was looking for me?"

    　　"I lied to you. Editor Lin is busy socializing with those high-ranking officials. I only said that to save you from the jerk."

    　　As soon as they walked to the door, a voice came from the side, "Meghan."

    　　Meghan and Sara stopped at the same time.

    　　The time has come.

    　　...

    　　At the hotel's entrance...

    　　The two were silent for a long time. After a long time of silence, Henry couldn't help but ask, "Meghan, are you okay?"

    　　Meghan pursed her lips. "I'm good."

    　　"I have been back for half a month and I have been looking for you. They all said that there was no news from you."

    　　Meghan did not speak. Three years ago, she not only broke contact with Henry, but also with all her classmates before.

    　　She didn't want to spread the unspeakable things she was going through to everyone.

    　　She was also a human who wanted to maintain what was left of her dignity.

    　　After a while, Meghan raised a smile. "Aren't you leaving again this time?"

    　　Henry shook his head as he stared at her. "Meghan, I—"

    　　"Henry!"

    　　They didn't know when Anne had rushed out. She squeezed between the two of them abruptly.

    　　Meghan was unprepared and fell a step back. Fortunately, there was a wall behind her that managed to help her stand firm.

    　　She pressed down on her beating heart. "Anne!"

    　　Anne turned her head and glared at her. "Meghan, you really are something! You already have my cousin, yet you still dare seduce another man in broad daylight. You should be ashamed of yourself!"

    　　Meghan's face was paler, and her blood from head to toe seemed to have been frozen.

    　　She never thought of keeping her marriage from Henry, she just wasn't expecting that he would find out through Anne in such a way.

    　　Henry, who has always been good-tempered, was also angry when he saw Anne that he flung aside her hand. "Anne, what are you doing here?"


　　Anne didn't expect Henry to yell at her. Her eyes turned red. Feeling that she has been wronged, she said, "Henry, this is for your own good! Ask this woman what means she used to   marry my cousin! That is if she even dares to admit it!"

    　　Meghan said calmly, "I have nothing to admit, but Anne, I'm warning you, if you don't know how to act with manners, I don't mind teaching you."

    　　At this time, Anne had been fuming with jealousy. She hasn't seen Henry speak to her so gently like the way he spoke to Meghan.

    　　"Why? Do you think you're some high mighty person that can't be touched, is that it?"

    　　As Anne said this, she stretched out her hand to push Meghan, but her hand was stopped by Henry.

    　　"Anne, enough is enough!"

    　　"Henry, how long have you known this woman for you to actually believe her over me?"

    　　"I've known Meghan for a long time. You don't need to tell me who she is."

    　　Anne's eyes widened incredulously. "You..."
