The Divorcee Amazed the World

When the sound of water in the bathroom ceased, she pushed the door open and entered the room, grabbing a towel to help Willis wipe away the water droplets.

He took care of the front himself.

She assisted in reaching the areas on his back that he couldn’t.

Looking at his robust physique, the beautiful muscular contours, and the vigorous back, her nose felt a bit sour.

In the past, seeing him sitting in a wheelchair, gloomy every day, she hoped he could stand up. However, when he did, his aunt and his father felt she wasn’t worthy of him anymore.

People in their so-called high society prioritized wealth over everything else.

After finishing, Willis put on a robe.

When tying the belt of the nightgown, Helena used her right hand, and he used his left hand.

Each holding one end of the nightgown belt, they seamlessly tied a knot together, in perfect coordination.

Willis chuckled, “What are we doing?”

Helena thought for a moment, tilted her head, and looked at him with twinkling eyes, “Mutual support in adversity?”

Willis, not knowing what came to his mind, half-slowly replied, “Yes, mutual support in adversity.”

He lowered his gaze, focusing on her delicate eyebrows and eyes, and asked, “If three years ago, I had no money, would you have married me?”

Helena felt a twinge in her heart.

These were the words Ryan spoke to him tonight, and now he was asking her. A ominous premonition slowly crawled up her heart.

She playfully responded, “Why ask such a meaningless question?”

“Yeah, it’s quite meaningless. Then, let’s change it. If I were to lose all my money now, would you leave me?”

Helena thought for a moment and said seriously, “I have money; I’ll support you.”

Willis raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, “How much money do you have?”

“Fifteen million six hundred thousand.”

Willis smiled, feigning surprise, “How do you have so much money? You haven’t spent the money I gave you all these years?”

“I can hardly spend much. My grandmother’s medical expenses are taken care of by you regularly. As for living expenses, she receives a pension every month, and so does my mother. Every time I give my mother money, she refuses to take it and asks me to save it myself. For my daily expenses, you take care of them. Buying clothes and cosmetics, I use the shopping cards you give me.”

Willis patted her head, “Our Helena is really good at saving money.”

Helena laughed even more sweetly, “Not only am I good at saving money, but I can also earn money. When my hand recovers, I’ll go back to work. You may not know, but I make quite a bit from restoring ancient paintings. By the way, in our field, we can also make money by finding undervalued items. The copies I made used to be sold under my grandfather’s name. In the Hongcheng auction, the highest-priced one was sold for five hundred thousand. If you run out of money, I’ll paint more in the future.”

Willis’s smile deepened, praising, “Our Helena is amazing.”

Unable to resist praising herself further, she added, “I also know a bit about financial management. A few days ago, I deposited one hundred fifty-six million for a three-year fixed term. The bank offered a 4% interest rate for a large-sum fixed deposit. That’s eighteen million in interest alone.”

She cupped his face, saying sweetly, “Husband, even if you run out of money, I can still support you well.”

Willis’s pitch-black eyes shimmered, as if adorned with starlight. He lifted her into his arms, gently kissing her hair, and asked in a low voice, “Why are you so good to me?”

“Because you are good to our entire family.”

Willis’s eyes slightly darkened. “Is it only because of that?”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Helena felt he was being a bit sentimental tonight and laughed, “How do you want me to answer? Why ask such a pointless question?”

Gazing at the shadow cast on the ground, Willis’s eyes became deeper and more profound. After a long while, he spoke, “Do you… love me?”

Helena suddenly woke up, the smile on her face freezing.

Love was naturally love, but at a time like this, saying “I love you” seemed meaningless.

A crumbling marriage, no matter how much love, couldn’t withstand reality.

She didn’t believe that a light and airy “I love you” could change anything. In the end, he would still listen to his father.

After a while, Helena smiled, withdrew from his embrace, tiptoed, and gently kissed his chin, saying tenderly, “Let me blow-dry your hair; it’s time to sleep.”

Turning around, she picked up the hairdryer from the cabinet and asked him to sit down. She skillfully began to blow-dry his hair.

Listening to the humming sound of the hairdryer and smelling the faint fragrance from her body, Willis lifted the corners of his lips, seemingly smiling but not quite.

She was willing to treat him well but didn’t love him.

No matter what he did, he couldn’t replace her Jay.

After drying his hair, the two went to bed.

This time, Helena fell asleep quickly.

In the middle of the night, a loud rumble of thunder sounded, penetrating through the half-open window. Helena was instantly awakened.

Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she looked to the side, finding it empty.

Willis was nowhere to be seen.

Suddenly, a thought struck Helena. She jolted awake, got up, grabbed her clothes, draped them over herself, and jumped out of bed to find him.
