Wrong Marriage and Sweet Love

“Mr. Henderson, thank you. I will accept your gift. As you wish, I will go for the 10 meter pistol, and the multi-directional skeet. I will try to hold the gun again.” Joyce breathed a long sigh of relief, her mood suddenly lightened.

She continued, “Mr. Henderson, you may have misunderstood. Although I now hold shares in R&S Group, I will return them sooner or later. I will not ask for something that does not belong to me.”

“Well.” A trace of appreciation crossed Garrett’s eyes. Naturally there were also regrets he could not hide. If he could pay more attention to the girl in front of him, things might not be as bad as it was now.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“One more thing, Mr. Henderson, I don’t want to hide it from you. I’m pregnant, but the baby, it’s not Justin’s. As for whose child it is, I don’t want to announce it for now. I hope you can respect my privacy.”

Joyce felt in her heart that sooner or later she would have to tell the truth about the baby and she did not want to give Garrett the wrong idea that she was carrying the heir to the Henderson family.

“I’ve already guessed.” Garrett said quietly, “I’ve got the feeling when I was talking with Justin.”

“So, please don’t worry, Mr. Henderson. I will never bring someone else’s child and marry into the Henderson family and bring the reputation of the Henderson family into question.” Joyce thought twice before speaking. She thought that Garrett’s insistence on seeing her should have other intentions besides apologizing for the past.

Garrett opened his mouth to speak.

Actually, that’s not what he meant. Compared with the social impact the Henderson family might suffer after Joyce got married with Justin with her illegitimate son, if Justin insisted on not marrying for the rest of his life, the Henderson family would really be in a desperate situation. However, he obviously saw that Joyce did not love Justin, and it was all because of his obstruction more than two years ago. And who could he blame?

There were sorrow and tiredness in his eyes, and his voice was coarse, “Perhaps you can try to persuade Justin, and maybe he will change his mind.”

“I know, Mr. Henderson. You don’t worry!”

Joyce promised.

“Thank you for coming today. I hope to see you again in the future. Also, about my condition, I hope you can hide it from Justin for now. I will choose the right time to tell everyone.” Garrett said.

“Don’t worry, this is what I should do. Mr. Henderson, if you have nothing else. I will leave first.”

Joyce stood up and bowed again respectfully towards Garrett as a sign of respect.

“Well, you go on out, I want to be alone.” Garrett waved his hand.

Joyce left her seat and walked to the door of the box, glancing back as she opened it.

She saw Garrett sitting in the bright light, and in addition to the bleakness, she could now see the sadness of this old man. She had no idea what he was thinking in the end. Maybe it’s the memory of the past, maybe it’s the helplessness he felt when his own sons were fighting against each other, maybe it’s the fear of sudden illness, and maybe it’s the confusion about the Henderson Group family’s future.

She closed the door gently and walked silently to the end of the corridor.

And Justin was already there waiting for her.
