The Divorcee Amazed the World

Helena remained silent.

Unfortunately, Willis’s heart wasn’t truly hers; it belonged to Susan.

The sudden decision not to divorce her was due to his grandmother’s repeated dissuasion.

His kindness towards her was rooted in the fact that during his most difficult and desperate times, she had taken care of him with all her heart. He was, in reality, someone who valued loyalty.

Checking her wristwatch, Jenny suggested, “It’s still early. How about having a cup of coffee together?”

“Sure.”

Helena got into Jenny’s car and went to a coffee shop they often visited.

After sitting down, each ordered a cup of coffee.

Jenny, gently supporting her chin with her left hand, examined Helena, saying, “Willis had a terrible temper in the past couple of years. You must have had a tough time, right? Even I, his biological mother, wouldn’t want to take care of him. Originally, I thought you wouldn’t last a few days, but unexpectedly, you held on until now.”

Helena lightly traced her finger on the cup in her hand and replied, “It was manageable.”

“One hundred and fifty-six million. Willis must have thrown many tantrums and treated you terribly to compensate you so desperately. If it were me, I couldn’t endure it, no matter how much I loved him.”

Helena paused.

She knew Jenny had overheard her conversation with Susan.

With a smile, she said, “I learned restoration of ancient books and paintings with my grandfather since I was little, cultivating resilience and endurance. I didn’t find it unbearable. Those years when he was in distress, expressing his anger was better than suppressing it, as it could lead to mental problems.”

“You’re quite considerate of him.” Jenny glanced at Helena’s injured hand. “Having such an important hand broken must have been very painful.”

Helena lowered her head to look at her hand in a cast and said with a bitter smile, “Indeed, it felt like the sky was falling.”

“You’ll get better.” Jenny consoled me.

She called the waiter over, handed him the car keys, and asked him to fetch a gift box from the trunk of her car.

After the gift box arrived, Jenny opened it and pushed it toward Helena. “This was personally designed by me for you, prepared a long time ago. Wear this for my birthday at the end of the month.”

She glanced at Helena’s white shirt, saying, “Simplicity is a virtue, but some shallow people always like to judge others by their appearance. We do have the conditions, so feel free to wear it.”

Helena lowered her eyes to see a midnight blue starry sky dress.

The soft chiffon fabric was adorned with numerous sparkling artificial diamonds, resembling the stars of the Milky Way. Even without putting it on, she could imagine how stunning this dress would be.

Suddenly remembering something, Helena whispered, “Mom, wearing such a gorgeous outfit on your birthday, won’t it be a bit too attention-grabbing?”

Jenny lifted her coffee cup and took a sip, smiling faintly. “No, you’re my daughter-in-law. The more beautiful and radiant you are, the more radiance there will be on my face as a mother-in-law.”

Helena was truly moved.

She used to think Jenny was aloof, spoke little, and seemed indifferent to others. She never expected that beneath Jenny’s cold exterior, there was such warmth.

As Helena was about to close the box, her phone suddenly rang.

Glancing at the caller ID, it was Willis calling.

Answering the call, Helena asked softly, “Is something wrong, Willis?”

“Where are you?”

“I’m having coffee with Mom.”

“You’re with my mom? Which coffee shop are you at? I’ll be done with work soon, and I’ll come to you.”

Helena hesitated and said, “You focus on your work; there’s no need to come.”

“Give the phone to her.”

Helena handed the phone to Jenny.

Taking it, she said, “Hello.”

In a warning tone, Willis said, “Don’t make things difficult for Helena. If there’s an issue, come to me directly.”

“Make things difficult?” Jenny reached up to her ear.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
