Need You Now

Chapter 100 How Dare You Catch A Cold

In the Hua family's villa, Heidy sat under a tree in the yard, leaned against a deck chair, and leisurely looked at the sparse shadows falling on the ground. Summer was still hot and she liked to stay under a tree to relax.

In the same posture as her, Jessica lay beside her and smiled, "Do you really intend to divorce?"

With her eyes squinting slightly, Heidy said with a slight smile, "Yes, I have decided. After this incident, I'm in despair about our marriage. A marriage needs trust, but he doesn't trust me at all."

At first, she was full of fighting spirit. However, she became desperate when she saw the scene that Hearst almost strangled her because of anger. She couldn't imagine what he would do if such thing happened again in the future. Would he destroy her or the Hua group that she had been trying her best to protect? Thinking of this, Heidy did not have the courage to face the unknown.

Jessica grabbed a bottle of drink from her right hand and said casually, "But I think if I were him, I would have been as angry as Hearst when I met that situation. No wonder he wasn't angry. His son was almost killed by his wife. You have to admit that Annie's plan is perfect!"

Heidy went silent and was agreed with her. Even so, she could not accept his apology. "Just take it as I am too sentimental. I don't have the courage to accept this marriage. When he tried to strangle me, I had lost all my hope to this marriage," said Heidy quietly.

Nodding her head, Jessica smiled and said, "Yes, you're right. You can't forgive him so easily. It seems that Hearst has to pay the price for he had done to you."

Resting her head on her hands, Heidy looked at the tree in silence, and she couldn't help but picture the face of Hearst. She shook her head hard and wiped his face off her mind. Heidy was stubborn. She wouldn't change her mind easily once she had made a decision.

At night, Heidy stood on the balcony with her arms crossed. Compared with the heat during the day, when the wind blew on her face at night, it was a little cool and refreshing. Heidy closed her eyes and looked up at the starry sky. She liked a quiet night, just like now.

After a long time, Heidy slowly opened her eyes. Then she glanced around and saw the familiar tall figure. Heidy was surprised to see him. 'Why is he here?' Heidy thought in bewilderment.

A few moments later, the phone rang inside the room. Heidy went back to the room. Upon seeing the number, she hung up the phone. She then went back to the balcony, and while raising her chin slightly, she arrogantly looked towards the direction of Hearst.

Though he was a little far from her, she felt his lips slightly raised. Seeing this, Heidy frowned. Then the phone rang again and again. The melody was repeating endlessly.

Five minutes later, Heidy finally answered the phone. She said discontentedly, "Hearst. What's up?"

"Nothing. I just want to see you." There was a deep and pleasant voice of Hearst in the phone

Hearing this, Heidy said coldly, "What a pity. I don't want to see you. I have asked my assistant to send the divorce agreement to you. If there is no problem, sign it."

This time, she didn't want to compromise easily. She was really worried that if she was framed by someone else again in the future, she couldn't afford the consequences. She couldn't imagine what would happen if she caused damage to the Hua Group. She couldn't bear the consequences.

Looking at her, Hearst replied calmly, "I won't sign. I've torn the agreement. I have never thought of divorcing you for the rest of my life."

Heidy snorted contemptuously and said in disdain: "Really? Like you said, are you going to trap me in the cage of marriage for the rest of my life?"

"I don't mind," said Hearst in a plain tone.

Heidy said angrily, "Hearst, you will not get what you want. Our marriage was a mistake. It's unnecessary to force me."

Noticing her excitement, he continued, "I'll wait for you here. Let's talk about it when we meet again."

"Don't worry. I won't meet you," Heidy said firmly.

He said firmly in a smiling voice, "Okay. I will wait for you here no matter you come or not. Last time you waited for me, I waited for you this time."

Heidy directly hung up the phone. Casting a glance at him, she turned around and went back to her room.

With one of his hands in his pocket and a smile on his face, Hearst calmly looked towards the lighted room. It was his fault this time. Since he had made a mistake, he should be brave to face it. What he needs most now is to be forgiven by Heidy.

In the dark room, Heidy stared at the ceiling with sleepless eyes. The thought that Hearst was waiting downstairs made her toss and turn restlessly. She picked up her phone from the pillow and looked at the time. It was one o'clock in the morning. "It's so late. He should have gone home, right?" Heidy murmured to herself.

Struggling for a long time on the bed, she finally got up and walked to the window. When she opened the curtains and saw through the window, she saw him standing straight in front of her. He also looked in her direction. Seeing this, she turned her head immediately. She returned to the bed as fast as she could.

"What? Do you think I will go to see you in this way? No way!" Heidy said angrily. She lay down quickly and forced herself to get some sleep. Perhaps it was because her hypnosis worked that she fell asleep slowly.

The next day, when the sky turned bright again, Heidy slowly opened her eyes. She stretched herself, opened the window and walked to the balcony. She opened her eyes in a daze and sneezed due to the low temperature in the morning. The next second, her phone rang.

She picked up the phone and found it was a phone call from Hearst. Then she became sober immediately and looked to where he was standing last night. As expected, Hearst stood there with a mobile phone in his hand. "Did he really not go back last night?" Heidy mumbled in astonishment.

She answered the phone. Then Hearst's hoarse voice flowed into her brain, "It's cold in the morning. Go get dressed. Don't catch a cold."

Hearing that, she felt her heart beat faster. Without saying anything, she hung up the phone and went back to the room. Hesitating for a moment, she turned around and ran downstairs.

Two minutes later, Heidy trotted to him. The temperature in the morning was somewhat low, but she looked at the frost on his suit jacket. "Did you really not go back last night?" asked Heidy involuntarily.

Seeing that she was still in her thin pajamas, Hearst frowned and said seriously, "Didn't I tell you to put on your coat?" As he spoke, he took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders.

Seeing this, she struggled and wanted to get rid of him. However, she was pinned on her shoulder and Hearst said in a strong voice, "Don't do that. If you dare get a cold, you're dead meat." It was obvious that he was concerned about her. But he said it in a threatening tone.

The scent from his coat told her that it was the smell from Hearst. Seeing that he was only wearing a thin shirt, she turned her head and said coldly, "Since we've met, you should go back."

Staring at her, he said in a low voice, "Not yet."

Looking at him, she was about to say something, but Hearst suddenly lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. With her eyes wide open in astonishment, she could feel his tongue against her teeth. Immediately, she refused to let him in.

Her fists pounded on his chest, but Hearst grabbed them and wrapped them tightly. The kiss plundered her air, and her breath became heavier and heavier

After a long time, Heidy fell into his arms feebly. She breathed deeply and her face flushed. She stared at him angrily.

With a smile of satisfaction on his face, he put his finger on her lips, gently rubbed it and said in a low voice, "You still love me."

She didn't deny directly and said coldly, "So what? Anyway, I have made up my mind to divorce you." Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

He wrapped his arms around her slender waist and lowered his head, resting it on her neck. His magnetic voice was husky as if he was bewitching her. "Honey, it's all my fault. Even if I was angry, I shouldn't have done that to you. But you know what? I was really angry that day. I don't believe it was you. But the evidence I collected that day is enough to destroy my reason."

The voice was soft and tender. She turned her head away to avoid looking into his eyes. "Even so, I still can't forgive you. You are a wise and powerful man. I'm no match for you. I don't want to maintain our marriage anymore. If I still maintain it, I will be mistreated by you in the future. That is very easy for you to do it," Heidy said coldly.

Understanding what he meant, Hearst said firmly, "I promise, even if I have a quarrel with you in the future, it won't have any impact on the Hua Group because of our relationship." He knew how much the Hua Group meant to her.

After hearing his promise, she hesitated for a moment. Her biggest concern was the Hua Group. He interlocked her fingers and held her hand. Then he lifted her hand to his lips, lower his head and kissed gently on the back of her hand. In a tender voice, he said, "Are we good?"
