The Divorcee Amazed the World

Helena was momentarily stunned, unable to understand why Willis suddenly wanted to kiss her, and a deep kiss at that.

Even though it was nighttime, people were still passing by.

The village wasn’t as open as the city, and it wouldn’t be good if someone saw them like this. Moreover, her grandmother had just been buried, and engaging in intimate moments at a time like this was inappropriate.

Helena reached out to push him away.

However, Willis held both of her wrists with one hand, preventing her from moving.

Helena lacked the strength to break free, so she closed her eyes and let him kiss her.

He kissed her with force, even one could say with dominance. It wasn’t as gentle as before, more like he was competing with someone.

Helena remembered the words he spoke on the phone with Ryan just now, and she was certain it was about that.

She thought he might be acting out against Ryan.

Only when she was almost breathless from the kiss did Willis finally release her, wiping away the moisture from her lips with his hand. He spoke gently, “We’re not getting divorced.”

It wasn’t a suggestion but a direct decision.

Helena’s thoughts were in turmoil, “I appreciate you considering my feelings at a time like this, but your father…”

Willis calmly said, “I will talk to him when I go back.”

Thinking of what Ryan said about winning or losing, Helena’s eyes darkened, “I don’t want you to be caught in the middle between me and your father.”

Willis cupped her small face, “Stop talking. It’s the deal.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

This time, it was an order, and he pulled her hand, leading her towards the front gate.

After a few steps outside, Willis turned back and glanced at the woods on the other side of the pond.

The man named Jay was no longer there.

He smirked, but there was no hint of a smile in his eyes.

For the first time, he realized that his possessiveness was unexpectedly strong.

All those promises of letting go and giving way, he found he couldn’t do it at all. Humans were indeed humans, and worldly desires were inevitable.

Back at Grandpa’s house.

As soon as they entered the bedroom, Zena brought a tray of food over.

Four dishes, one soup, and two bowls of rice.

Placing the dishes on the table, she warmly greeted Willis, “Willis, are you hungry? Come and eat. It’s still hot. I just cooked it, and no one else has touched it. I know you like things clean; you won’t eat anything others have touched.”

Willis paused. The last few times he met her, her attitude was quite cold.

Today, she suddenly became so enthusiastic; it caught him off guard.

After attending to him, Zena looked at Helena, “Helena, why don’t you go back with Willis tonight? No need to wait for your grandmother’s seven days. I’ll take care of things here.”

Helena was a bit puzzled, “I’ve already taken a leave. I’m not in a hurry to leave.”

“Go back. Your grandmother definitely wants you and Willis to go back. You two are happy together, and she would be happier than anyone else.” Zena’s eyes reddened, and she smiled, “You two, eat well. I’ll leave you alone for now.”

After saying that, she turned and left.

Willis smirked, “Zena is acting unusually tonight.”

After thinking for a moment, Helena said, “Maybe she was moved by your hard work in taking care of me these past few days. My mom, despite her harsh words, has a soft heart. She’s like a tiger with a gentle heart.”

“Your mother is indeed a straightforward person.” Willis smiled faintly and picked up chopsticks to hand to Helena.

Taking the chopsticks, Helena sat down next to him and picked up a piece of crispy meat, placing it on his rice. “This meat is especially delicious, so fragrant. You should try it.”

Willis picked it up and tasted it, chewing a few times. “It’s quite fragrant.”

Usually, he didn’t eat this type of food. It was too oily and unhealthy. However, if it was Helena who picked it, he might even eat rat meat.

After finishing the meal, Zena came in to clean up the dishes, urging the two, “You should leave soon. It’s only a two or three-hour drive back home. Go wash up and get a good night’s sleep. Willis will be back to work at the company early tomorrow. You’ve delayed him for so long; it’s affecting his work.”

Willis was pleased with that.

Staying here for a long night could lead to more dreams. He was afraid of Helena meeting Jay.

Feeling repulsed was one thing, but if he had to give in, he found that he couldn’t and was unwilling to.

Suddenly, he wanted to be selfish for once, to keep her by his side.

Helena didn’t want to go back.

She wanted to stay for her grandmother, at least until the seventh day.

However, despite resisting Zena’s efforts, she was pushed out and directly shoved into Willis’s car.

As the car left the village, Helena received a message from Zena: My daughter, Mom suddenly discovered that Willis is still good to you. You two don’t need to get divorced if possible. After a divorce, the next man might not be better than Willis. Besides, he’s getting better, and you have contributed to half of it. Why should you work so hard for so long and let someone else take it away?

Helena furrowed her brows slightly and replied: But his father disagrees.

Zena replied: Parents ultimately can’t resist their children. You two should work hard; don’t give up without trying. You’ll regret it in the future if you don’t try.

Helena fell silent for a moment and replied: Okay.
