Chapter 957 You Are Not Qualified to Decide
The emotions contained in those eyes made it impossible for her not to be moved.
Rhys couldn’t help but laugh when he heard Jenna’s words.
He sat on the couch opposite Jenna, but his gaze couldn’t help but fall on the prominent divorce agreement in front of him.
These few big words were exceptionally glaring in front of him, like a knife hanging directly in front of him.
Jenna couldn’t have suddenly brought up the topic of divorce without reason. Rhys was extremely convinced that there must be another reason behind this.
“Don’t worry, I won’t tamper with the divorce agreement. The divorce agreement is exactly as we agreed before, and I haven’t changed a single word.”
Seeing Rhys’ obscure gaze fall on the divorce agreement, Jenna quickly emphasized this point.
She had already received enough from the Williams family; she wasn’t a greedy person. If it weren’t for being forced into a corner, she wouldn’t have made such a choice.
Rhys looked up at Jenna with an obscure expression. If he couldn’t explain this matter clearly to Jenna, then he could only choose not to say anything at all.
“The divorce agreement is useless to me. If I don’t want to agree, then you won’t be able to get divorced from me.”
Rhys’ tone was cold and indifferent; upon hearing his words, Jenna immediately panicked. She looked at Rhys somewhat helpless and didn’t know what else she could say or do about it all.
But if they didn’t get divorced, Mrs. Williams would never let go of her family members.
“But we agreed on this before!”
She widened her eyes pleadingly as if hoping that Rhys would change his mind somehow.
If Rhys wasn’t willing, then Mrs. Williams would definitely vent all her anger onto herself; what about her mother who was still hospitalized?Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“Besides,” continued Jenna, “I already have someone I like now too! Now I just want to end our relationship.”
However even after hearing these words from Jenna, Rhys remained calm. He just glanced lightly at her, saying,
“I don’t care who you like or how far along your relationship has progressed, but you mustn’t forget you’re my wife now,” he spoke slowly and deliberately, suddenly getting closer to Jenna.
“No matter what affairs you have with someone else outside, you need to end it!”
His gaze was deep and serious, making Jenna forget all the things she had planned to say.
“It’s late today, let’s talk about this later. I’m going to rest now.”
Rhys quickly got up from the couch and went back to his room without looking back.
After Rhys finished washing up, he still didn’t see Jenna anywhere. That’s when he realized that Jenna didn’t intend on going back to their room at all.
Jenna had actually found herself a new guest room! Rhys looked sternly at her and pushed open the door of that guest room.
“What are you thinking?” His tone was cold as he stared directly at Jenna.
Jenna avoided Rhys’ gaze.
“Since we’re getting divorced, it’s not appropriate for us to continue living together.”
Rhys heard this and turned pale in anger. He took a step forward and grabbed hold of Jenna’s hand.
“I never mentioned divorce from start till now; the divorce agreement is still there unsigned by me.”
His attitude was equally firm – they were still legally married couples who should be living together instead of leading separate lives like they were doing now.
“Are you crazy? I’ve told you that I have feelings for someone else!”
Jenna looked at Rhys with shock in her eyes. Why did he keep insisting on staying together?
At first it was him who proposed a divorce agreement; even after she was drugged, he refused any physical contact between them… but now he wanted them not getting divorced?
What was Rhys trying to do?
“Your behavior is considered cheating within marriage. Have you thought about that?”
Rhys’ words hit hard on Jenna’s heart, leaving it shattered into pieces…
Cheating within marriage? Is this what she really wants?
She wasn’t pure anymore – she didn’t even have any chance left using herself as bargaining chip…
She coveted money too much; marrying into the Rhys family just for her mother’s sake wasn’t right either…
But these weren’t things she should’ve experienced in life anyway!
“You don’t understand anything, Rhys… You just don’t understand…”
Jenna gritted her teeth as she looked at Rhys. This time, she didn’t avoid his gaze.
Whether it was kidnapping or anything else, this whole thing was all because of the Williams family.
It was all because of this identity.
But in the end, all the pain had to be borne by herself. What did she do wrong?
God played a joke on her like this. She never thought about disappointing anyone or deceiving anyone.
“From the day we got married, our path has been arranged and we can only continue down that path. Since we agreed to divorce, let’s get divorced!”
Jenna’s eyes were very serious. After hearing what Jenna said, Rhys’ face changed suddenly.
“You are not qualified to decide on this matter at all. From the day you agreed with me, everything has been predetermined and I have always held control.”
Rhys didn’t actually intend to say something so harshly.
But facing Jenna’s strong attitude like that, if he didn’t say it like that, then Rhys had no doubt that Jenna would immediately leave him behind.
Jenna’s face turned pale instantly.
Their marriage did indeed start from that agreement but both of them tacitly avoided mentioning it especially during this period of time.
Jenna always wanted herself not to think about it.
But what Rhys did exposed everything under sunlight.
Their marriage was so dirty without any emotional foundation from the beginning.
The union between them was for benefits only.
Rhys tore off their fig leaf and exposed such fragile yet cruel reality which immediately pressed onto Jenna’s heart, making her unable to breathe properly.
