Chapter 5: Say Thank You to My Husband
Paul froze, and there was a strange look on his face.
He thought he was the only one who didn't care about this marriage.
To his surprise, this woman cared less than he did.
Now she was his wife but she didn’t even know what her husband looked like. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Paul felt speechless and replied, "Yes."
Amy nodded and wrote down her name.
She had no doubts about the identity of this person.
She only knew that her husband was a small potato in the Howard Family who had been being treated abroad.
Stoniness was the norm in a great family.
A man like him had been estranged from the power in his family.
Now, the man in front of him looked vigorous, devoid of any sign of illness.
His presence indicated he was powerful in this family.
If this man were Paul, the Howard Family wouldn't have agreed to her marriage with him.
‘‘He should be the secretary of my husband or largely his cousin”
The Howard Family had more than one boy in this generation, so she guessed from his look and behaviors that he might be Paul's cousin.
‘‘I can tell by his indifference that he wants to have nothing to do with me.So there's no need to ask anything more”
While she was writing with her head lowered, her fair cheeks flushed due to the lingering hot steam shortly after the bath.
Her long black hair fell on one side, thus revealing her slender and fair neck.
Paul tried his best to avert his eyes and look at the tabletop.
Her handwriting was beautiful, and he could tell that she had put lots of effort into practicing the writing.
Amy put down the pen and gave a smile.
"Sir, please tell Paul that I will do as agreed.After two years, we'll divorce and have nothing to do with each other.’’ She replied with determination.
‘‘What a strange woman...However, it may be for the best “ As Paul took the contract, he pulled out a black card from his pocket.
"Feel free to use it." Amy didn't refuse it.
She had nothing now, after all.
Even her grandmother's medical bills were afforded by the Turner Family who would change their mind at any time.
Right now, she couldn't afford to risk it.
With this money, she could pay for the bills, so she would not be threatened by Myrna.
She took the card and put it in her bag.
"Say thank you to my husband for me."
Paul raised his head, his gaze serene, and for the first time, he looked into the eyes of the woman whom he wasn't willing to marry.
After a short encounter, Amy did somewhat surprise him.
He had seen many women who looked high-hearted in public but gave in to power secretly and strove for higher-status men at all costs.
But Amy was different from them.
She disdained pretense and was blind to the marriage restraint imposed by society on women as if she cared about nothing.
"Is there anything else?"
She intended to send him away.
Paul then withdrew his eyes and turned to leave.
Walking out of the room, Paul heard the door behind him shut with a bang, without hesitation.
Paul felt confused and was in a daze for a while.
‘‘On my wedding night, I was expelled by my wife.What a joke…”
He looked down and glanced at the signature on the contract, cold light shining in his eyes.He headed downstairs.
"Paul?"
Holding a glass of milk, Laura saw him and showed excitement, but the expression disappeared in an instant.
She took a glance at the upstairs, "You saw the woman, right? Paul, talk to grandpa, get his permission, and divorce her.I can't stand her anymore!"
Paul walked to the door and put his jacket on.
"Brother!"
Seeing that he ignored her, Laura followed up discontentedly and showed grievance on her face.
"She's your sister-in-law."
What he meant was that she deserved at least a hint of Laura's respect.
Laura froze.
She couldn't figure out what her brother was thinking about.
She had admired her brother since she was a child, and hoped that his wife was an excellent woman, not this unknown lame girl.
Paul didn't slacken his pace and went out straight.
He had always been indifferent to everything and maintained calm and detached.
Laura stomped back into the room, furious.
"Damn Paul!"
‘‘He has been unconcerned about me since I was a child.Now he wants me to acknowledge a cheesy woman as my sister-in- law? No way! That woman must have said something to him”
Unknowingly, Amy took another rap.
