Chapter 048 You Won’t Be Happy Together
Laura shook her head as she bit her lips. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she looked at Barret with a pitiful expression. That look wouid melt any man and make them feel guilty.
“I’m sorry, Laura. I’ve let you down.”
“If you know you are letting me down, why do you still want to break up with me? I want to know the reason. I won’t break up with you without one!”
Barret stared at her and felt bad for her.
Laura wiped away her tears and grabbed Barret’ hand. “Can you tell me the reason? I have the right to
know. I deserve to know.”
“Do you really have to know?”
“Yes, I do.”
Barret sighed and said with a heavy heart, “Although the doctor said that Grandpa passed away because of liver cancer, I know that if I hadn’t insisted on getting a divorce and went against him that day, he wouldn’t have passed away. Laura, I have already let you down. And I have let Grandpa down. Jenny is now my wife. I can’t let her down too.”
“No.” Laura shook her head frantically. “Barret, it’s not like that. Your grandfather didn’t pass away
because of you. You can’t put all the blame on yourself. If you do this, you will be breaking my heart. You only felt a sense of responsibility for Jenny. There is no love between you two. If you force yourself to
stay with her, you won’t be happy. Barret, you love me. I’m the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. Please, I don’t want to break up with you.”
Laura was sobbing. Her tears rolled down her cheeks and her eyes were red and swollen.
Barret couldn’t harden his heart so he reached out to wipe away the tears on her face. “Laura, that’s
enough. I have already made up my mind. You can choose to go abroad, just like before. Then you won’t have to see me again. You can also stay here. But from now on, I am Jenny’s husband. I have nothing to do with you anymore.”
“Does it have to end like this?” Laura shook her head desperately. “No, I refuse to accept this. I don’t want to leave you, and I don’t want us to be strangers.”
“I have said what I came to say. Jenny is still waiting for me at home. I should go first.” Barret got up,
turned around and left her like a heartless bastard.
Suddenly, there was a loud clatter behind him.
“Ouch! It’s so hot! I’m hurt!”
The next moment, Laura’s pitiful voice came from behind him.
That’s right, she knocked over the coffee in front of her and it was on purpose. It was very simple. She
wanted to make Barret stay.
Although he was worried about her, Barret continued to walk forward.
Laura was in disbelief. She raised her voice and shouted again, “It hurts, Barret. It hurts so much. Do you really not care about me anymore? Are you really going to leave me here alone?”
Listening to her painful cries, Barret could not harden his heart in the end. He turned around and walked
toward Laura.
When Laura saw him coming over, she was immediately overjoyed. She seized the opportunity and
hugged Barret.
“Barret, please don’t go. I love you. I really, really love you. You’re the only person I have ever loved all these years. Are you really going to abandon me and let me marry another man? I know you feel guilty. And I understand your pain and guilt, but guilt is not love. You don’t love Jenny.”
Barret said in a low and serious voice, “Laura, let go.”
“No, I won’t let go. Barret, I love you. I won’t let go of you for the rest of my life.” Laura hugged his waist tightly and was full on bawling.
“I already made it clear that Jenny is my wife. I won’t let you to belittle her.”
As soon as he was done talking, his slender and powerful fingers pried Laura’s fingers away from him
one by one.
Naturally, Laura was unwilling to let go. But she was no match to Barret’ strength. In less than two minutes, her grip on Barret’s waist had entirely loosened. This time, Barret did not even look back and went straight ahead.
Laura pushed her wheelchair and crazily chased after Barret. Suddenly, her wheelchair was stopped. When she looked up, she saw an extremely sexy woman wearing sunglasses and black jeans blocking
her wheelchair.
“Please make way,” Laura demanded arrogantly.
“Sorry, I really can’t.”
“What’s your problem? Why are you blocking me?”
Penny turned to look at Barret and Jenny. “Do you see that? They are lawfully wedded husband and wife, with an official marriage certificate recognized by the law. As for you, you are at most a side chick. Ms.
Hill, you should have more self-awareness than this. You’re only embarrassing yourself if you keep pestering Barret.”
Looking at this, Laura immediately clenched her fists and bit her lips.
Jenny.
It was her again. It was always her.
If it weren’t for her, she and Barret would have long been together and have a lot of children by now.
Barret was very surprised to see Jenny.
“Penny is back from filming and invited me for coffee here. I didn’t expect to see you here,” Jenny
explained casually.
“Do you like the coffee in this shop?” Barret asked..
“It’s freshly ground. It’s so aromatic and rich,” Jenny answered truthfully.
Barret held her hand and walked straight to the counter. Then he turned to ask her, “What kind of coffee
do you like?”
“Cappuccino!”
Both her and Penny liked cappuccino.
Parret took out his phone, swiped around a little, and handed the phone to the barista. “Take down this address. In the future, send a cup of freshly ground cappuccino there every day with some snacks.” Jenny was completely shocked and quickly pulled Barret back. “They don’t do delivery.”
“Yes, they don’t, but they make an exception for me,” Barret said confidently.
“Why?”
“Because I asked Carey to find someone to set up this shop.”
Jenny was stunned for a moment and then finally came to her senses. In other words, he was the owner of this shop. No wonder he was so confident.
After buying the coffee, the two of them walked to the door.
Jenny noticed that since Barret saw her, he never looked at Laura again.

She stopped and looked at Barret, “Although you won’t say it, I know you still can’t let her go. Barret, there
If is still time for you to change your mind. I don’t want to force you. I’ll give you five minutes. you me at the door in five minutes, we’ll stay married. If you’re not here, then I’ll bring the documents to the courthouse tomorrow and we can get a divorce.”
She still let him make the final decision. She hoped that he could think about it seriously, instead of deciding rashly.
After saying that, Jenny walked out of the door alone. However, as soon as she took one step forward,
she felt a warmth on her palm.
She looked down, and Barret was already holding her hand, staring at her with certainty. “There is no need to think about it. I have already made up my mind.”
