Chapter 046 Forget About the Divorce, Okay?
Jenny hugged him around his waist tightly and leaned her head against his back.
Feeling her warmth, Barret’s body grew stiffer. He moved his fingers and finally said, “Okay.”
Such a short reply. It was so simple, and yet, Jenny was very happy and contented.
When they got home, Barret ran a hot bath for Jenny to soak in. It was raining heavily today. They had
been in the rain for a few hours. If they did not warm themselves up, they might catch a cold later.
After taking a bath, Jenny indeed felt much warmer. Blood returned to her face, and she was not as pale as before.
While Barret was taking a shower, she immediately took the hormone pills with warm water. Then, she went to bed. She was
sleepy. Very sleepy.
After taking a shower, Barret went to bed. Just as he was about to call for her, he saw that she had already fallen asleep on the
bed.
“Little liar!” He reached out and touched Jenny’s hair. There was a gentleness in his eyes.
She was just saying that she couldn’t fall asleep without him hugging her. In the end, she fei! asleep in the blink of an eye. After
four whole days of not sleeping, Barret lay down beside her and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.
In the middle of the night, Jenny felt something warm beside her in a daze. She smiled, turned around,
and fell asleep again peacefully.
That night, the two of them slept very soundly.
By the time Jenny woke up, it was already ten o’clock in the morning. The sun was shining bright outside the window, the ray
pierced through the window, making he eyes hurt.
Jenny quickly turned around, and right away, her eyes met Barret’. His eyes were as dark and deep as ever. She immediately
lowered her head and averted her gaze.
Too many things had happened in the past few days. If it weren’t for George’s sudden death, they would

have already divorced and became two complete strangers. And yet, right now, the two of them were actually lying on the same
bed, facing each other.
How ironic.
“I remember someone said that they need to hold me to fall asleep. But when I came out of the shower, that someone had
already fell asleep.” Barret was the first to speak.
Jenny looked up and felt even more embarrassed. “Sorry, I was too sleepy. I fell asleep as soon as I got

on the bed.”
“Did you sleep well?”
“Yes, really well.”
Barret lifted the quilt and got up from the bed. He opened the wardrobe and put a beige dress on the
bed.
Jenny was a little stunned. If she remembered correctly, in their two years of marriage, this was the first time he picked out her
clothes for her. That was of course, excluding the pajamas last time.
“Get up and have breakfast. You are not feeling well. You have to eat breakfast.”
“Okay.” Jenny nodded, took the clothes and quickly put them on.
After washing up, the two of them went to the dining room together. Breakfast was already served, and it was all her favorite
food.
Looking at the breakfast on the table, Jenny’s mind drifted back to the day he asked for a divorce.
That day was very similar to today.
When she thought of his tone when he asked for a divorce, her heart still ached with bitterness and pain. The dining table was
eerily quiet, the only noise was the cutlery clinking against the plates. The two of them ate their breakfast slowly, and neither of
them spoke. However, as if planned, both of them ate their breakfast extremely slowly..

Jenny ate a bowl of oatmeal for almost ten minutes.
In the end, they finished everything on the table. When there was nothing else to eat, the two of them finally looked up at each
other.
*Barret...”
“Jenny...”
The two of them spoke at the same time.
“You
go first!” Jenny said. Just like that day, she let Barret speak first.
Although she knew George’s last wish, if Barret still insisted on a divorce, she would not force him to stay.
She would go through the divorce just like he wanted.
Barret frowned and looked at her. “This time, you speak first.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, you go first.”
Jenny nodded. “Okay.”

She clenched her fists tightly. Her palms were already covered in sweat, her entire palms were wet. What she wanted to say was
brewing in her throat, but she did not know how to articulate it.
In the end, she closed her eyes and decided to throw all cautions to the wind. “I want to say, is it possible that we don’t get
divorce? I regret it. I don’t want us to divorce.”
After that, she felt as if the world had stopped.
The silence in the living room was suffocating.
She held her breath as she waited intently for an answer. When she looked up, she saw that Barret’sFollow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

brows were still deeply furrowed. She pinched her palm hard and immediately said, “Sorry, I was too presumptuous. If you insist
on getting a divorce, we can go now. I have prepared all the documents.”
Having said that, Jenny got up and was about to go upstairs to get the documents. However, just as she stood up, she felt
something tugging at her hand. Before she knew it, she was pulled into a warm
embrace,
Barret hugged her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder. His unique scent surrounded her whole body. She took a
breath, and his scent filled her nose. Her heart beat furiously. She couldn’t
control herself.
“What do you mean by this?” She finally managed to ask, albeit with a shaking voice, after some time. “Barret, this isn’t funny at
all.”
Barret hugged her even tighter, and with his deep voice, he whispered in her ear, “Jenny, I’m the one who should apologize.
Okay.”
“What?” Jenny asked, puzzled.
Barret turned her around and looked at her gently. “Didn’t you just ask me if we can forget about the divorce? I’m saying yes.”
“Wh-What?” This time, Jenny was really shocked and surprised.
She stood there, completely stunned. For a moment, her mind went blank, and she was completely dumbfounded.
Barret pulled her into his arms. His pleasant voice pressed against her ears and said, “You hear me right. I have thought it
through. We won’t get a divorce. We’ll stay together and live out best lives together.” “Is it because of Grandpa?”
“The reason is not important. What’s important is that we will never be apart.”
His avoidance answered Jenny’s question. She took a deep breath and stared into his eyes. “Okay.”
As for Laura, her name seemed to have suddenly become a sensitive topic. She didn’t mention it, nor did Barret.
Right at this moment, his phone rang. After answering the phone, he walked over and said, “It’s Laura.” “Are you going to see
her?”

“Yes, I am. There are some things I need to make clear to her.”
“Okay.” Jenny nodded.
When Barret went out, Jenny watched as he walked further and further away, until he turned into a blur.
Actually, she really wanted to ask Barret, “Since you have decided not to get a divorce, will you leave Laura? What will happen
between the two of you?”
