Marry My Ex's Sworn Enemy (Sonya) novel Chapter 63

Chapter 63: Henry’s Accident 

Menu 

Turning another page, she saw a photo of Henry standing in the alleyway by Lucky’s Diner. He was wearing a white shirt, ripped jeans, his hair tousled, looking warily at the camera. 

“This was taken a year after we put up the missing person posters. A stranger sent it to us, and we rushed out to find him,” Linda explained. 

In the corner of the photo, a girl in a denim halter top and white shirt, with short, sharp hair, held a large cotton candy, smiling brightly at Henry. 

“Who’s she?” Sonya asked. 

Linda’s expression faltered, and she quickly closed the album. “Just a passerby.” Sonya had almost forgotten what Jasmine Smith looked like, but judging by Linda’s reaction, the girl in the photo was likely Jasmine Smith. 

So the person who had walked alongside him, someone he couldn’t possibly have forgotten, he simply chose not to mention. 

The mother–in–law and daughter–in–law looked at photo albums until midnight. If Benjamin hadn’t refused to sleep alone, Linda would have continued recounting Henry’s childhood antics. 

“Ugh, I still haven’t told Sonya about Henry getting into a fight in high school and the teacher calling his parents,” Linda grumbled as she got out of bed. 

“What’s there to tell? It’s embarrassing,” Benjamin called from outside the room. 

“Oh, it was hilarious! His teacher was a fan of mine, and the parents of the kid he fought with were also fans! It was a serious situation that turned into a fan meet–and–greet. 

Linda chuckled, walking to the door. She told Sonya to rest well, then headed to her bedroom with Benjamin, their laughter echoing through the house. 

Sonya was infected by Linda’s mirth. Any slight apprehension she felt regarding Jasmine Smith dissipated instantly. 

She video–called Henry, but he didn’t answer. 

The next day was Saturday. Sonya had breakfast at the old house, practiced yoga with Linda, and then left. 

She had lunch at Jake Parker’s small bar, celebrating Lily Lane’s first movie after her comeback. 

“I have an audition tomorrow. Wish me luck!” Lily Lane raised her glass. 

Sonya and Jake Parker clinked glasses, offering their good wishes. 

“Director Davis recommended me. It’s a low–budget detective mystery, but the script is amazing, and my role has a lot of potential. I love it!” Lily Lane gushed. 

“A detective drama? Sounds interesting,” Jake Parker said. 

“Do you know who the writer is?” 

“Who?” 

“Rose White! The queen of detective novels!” 

Sonya paused, her glass halfway to her lips.“You’re auditioning for Rose White’s project?” 

Lily Lane nodded.“You know her?”

“I wouldn’t say I know her. We played Mahjong last night, and she invited me to be the on–set doctor for her show.” 

“Did you agree?” Lily Lane asked quickly. 

Sonya shook her head.“I said I’d consider it, but I don’t really want 

to go. 

She planned to renovate the old house and open a gynecology clinic. The preparations would take a while, so she wouldn’t have time for a film set. 

Of course, if she had to be honest, there was another reason – Rose White gave her a strange feeling, one that made her want to avoid her. 

“That’s a shame,” Lily Lane shrugged. 

Sonya had an evening appointment, so she left early. Jake Parker walked her to the street, seemingly hesitant to say something. 

Sonya shoved her hands in her pockets. “Is it that hard to say?” she teased. 

Jake Parker awkwardly scratched his head.“I just… I didn’t expect you to marry Henry.” 

Sonya understood. Their wedding had been a bit of a shock. She hadn’t explained things to them 

yet. 

“To be honest, I only learned who Henry really was a few days before the wedding, and that you even knew each other.” 

“So you don’t really know him that well, right?” 

“You could say that.” 

Hearing this, Jake Parker looked worried. 

“Do you know… he’s been in a car accident?” 

Sonya was taken aback.“No, I didn’t.” 

Jake Parker looked at her, his worry deepening.“Is it because of Julian that you impulsively married Henry?” 

Sonya frowned, then said seriously, “No.” 

The decision to marry Henry was impulsive, but not because of Julian Jennings. 

Jake Parker didn’t believe her, muttering, Julian has a lot to answer for.* 

On the subway, Sonya kept thinking about Jake Parker’s words:*Henry had been in a car accident.* 

And then? Jake Parker clearly only told half the story. The other half was the harder part to say. And his worry 

what was he worried about?
