Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 937

Chapter 937 It Turns Out He Has Difficulties Too

After finishing their meal, Jenna and Rhys exchanged a glance and simultaneously put down their fork before heading upstairs. They felt uneasy under the watchful eye of Mrs. Williams.

"Stop right there, both of you," Mrs. Williams suddenly called out to them.

She stared at them for what seemed like an eternity, making them both nervous. Jenna almost thought they were exposed and instinctively held onto Rhys' hand, moving closer to him.

This was a crucial moment that they had to get through; otherwise all their efforts would be in vain.

"That's more like it! When I first got married, my husband and I were always holding hands everywhere we went," Mrs. Williams noticed the tightly clasped hands of the two young lovers and suddenly laughed.

She waved her hand as if dismissing them and gestured for them to go upstairs.

After hearing the door close behind them, Mrs. Williams turned to her servant next to her and casually asked, "Do you think they're really in love or just pretending?"

The servant pondered for a moment before tentatively speaking, "On their wedding night, Mr. Williams refused any intimacy, but now he's holding hands with his new wife, so there has been some progress at least... it's not good to rush things."

It was clear that Mr. Williams had been resistant towards this marriage from the beginning but now things seemed different between him and his wife after only a few days together.

Mrs. Williams couldn't believe such changes could happen so quickly.

"You're right! Even if they are pretending, at least they are willing to do so in front of me," Mrs. Williams sighed bitterly while nodding her head in agreement with her servant's words.

She should be grateful for what she has - even if it isn't perfect!

After the servant left, Mrs. Williams retrieved a report from under the coffee table which made her feel even more bitter inside when she read it over again:

Months ago when she visited with doctors about her current health condition;they told her that given how things were going, she wouldn't live much longer than another few years...

"I know this is unfair on you, but please let me see you happy before I die... just consider this my last selfish wish." She whispered softly as tears welled up in eyes...

If only she didn't have this illness, then maybe everything would be different, and maybe there'd be more time...

Upstairs, in Rhys' study.

"Phew!" Jenna sat down on one of chairs, letting out long sighs, "That really scared me, I thought your mother found something..."

"How could she possibly find anything?" Rhys took out his laptop getting ready for work...

He glanced at the clock on the wall and signaled to Jenna that she could leave now. Jenna was very tactful, stood up and prepared to leave. Halfway through, she ran into Mrs. Williams.

"Mom, what are you doing here?" Jenna was so embarrassed.

Mrs. Williams raised the tray in her hand and said self-consciously, "I brought you some food and dessert after dinner. They are all easy to digest. Are you going to take a shower? Call Rhys too, let him sleep early since you're trying for a baby now."

"So you mean we should take a shower together?" Jenna widened her eyes.

She definitely didn't want that!

If they took a shower together, wouldn't everything be exposed?

"Of course not! There are so many bathtubs in this house," Mrs. Williams laughed immediately, "but if both of you want to do it together, it's okay."

"We'll talk about it later; I want to go back and read first." Jenna stuttered out an excuse.
