She never expected that her strongest supporter would be Rhys. She looked at Rhys with a complex expression and squeezed out two words from her throat, "Thank you."
Suddenly, her heart was overwhelmed with pain. She had never dared to face the feelings between herself and Rhys. But deep down, Jenna knew that she had fallen in love with this man.
However, she knew that she was no longer worthy of Rhys now.
"If you really want to thank me, then don't mention the divorce," Rhys said suddenly. Jenna's fingers unconsciously loosened as she lowered her head even more.
If it were any other request, she could promise him but this one thing was impossible. She had already promised Mrs. Williams that she would leave the Williams family as soon as possible, not to mention the baby in her belly.
"I have signed the divorce agreement; please sign it quickly," Jenna urged Rhys in a low voice while suppressing discomfort inside.
But just as she finished speaking, a hand grabbed onto her chin without hesitation and forced her to lift up her head. Rhys' slightly sharp face came into view.
"Jenna, don't test my patience," he said seriously. "I think I've made myself clear enough: since we are already married, let's live well together and stop talking about divorce."
His attitude was so serious that Jenna could clearly sense his sincerity but what difference did it make? There seemed an insurmountable gap between them which couldn't be bridged or filled up by anything else.
Jenna held back the sourness and avoided looking into his eyes before saying coldly, "Mr. Williams, this is all just a transaction between us from beginning till end. Some things were wrong right from start, and whether it's you or me, we must accept such results."
Her tone was harsh while addressing him distantly; they weren't truly husband and wife after all.
"Besides, I've found someone I like. Can Mr. Williams let me go? I just want to leave here and be with someone I like."
Someone she liked?
Rhys had heard this phrase more than once coming out of Jenna's mouth. As a man, he couldn't help but mind such things...
But he had secretly investigated Jenna, and there was no record of anyone she liked in her life.
So, it seemed that Jenna just made up an excuse.
He didn't have much feeling for Jenna now, but they were husband and wife, not to mention that they had sex.
He should be responsible for her anyway.
Although he didn't love Jenna that much, he could provide her with a stable life and give her enough respect.
Jenna suddenly remembered something. "Mr. Williams, let's sleep in separate rooms tonight. I've moved all my things back to the guest room."
If she wanted to draw clear boundaries between them, it would be better to do it sooner rather than later.
"I don't agree. We're husband and wife; sleeping together is only natural. Our relationship is legal; why should I accept such a proposal?" Rhys' tone was cold but his attitude was firm.
On this point, Jenna couldn't argue with Rhys at all; she could only leave it at that.
The Williams Group.
Rhys hadn't been at the company long before he heard people talking about him.
