Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 1230

Because of Lucy's meddling, Ava and Horace had to sleep in the same bed.

Although the position between the two is wide like a river, but something, too, is quietly sprouting and growing.

Ava has been accustomed to Leo's disgust and disdain since she was a little girl, Demi's commanding presence, and the looks of people around her who are not interested in watching a good show.

For the first time since her mother passed away, she felt warmth in the Jason Family.

Lucy takes good care of her. Horace is a bright moonlight, a modest gentleman, a gentleman and a man of honor.

He will give Ava all the status and respect of Mrs. Jason, but will not overstep the mark in bed.

Even though Ava knew very well that he was only there because he didn't like her.

Ava becomes more and more curious about Horace and Stella's past. In her opinion, both are very nice people, whether from looks, talents, family background, all aspects are equivalent.

It's a great shame they didn't get to go together.

Yet Ava stopped this curiosity, knowing that, whether it was Stella or Horace, this was a private matter from their past that she had no right to explore.

She still does what she promised Horace she would do when she first promised to be Mrs. Jason and make Lucy happy.

That is, until Lucy was admitted to the hospital.

She has actually not been in very good health, and this time she collapsed, more than ever.

In front of the hospital bed, Lucy took Ava's hand, as if finally relieved: "You're a good boy, it's Horace who's sorry ......"

Ava got a little choked up: "Mom, you don't have to say that ......"

"I should have known I shouldn't have pushed him so hard, so you could have gone off and found your own happiness."

"Mom, it's been a great blessing for me to marry into the Jason Family."

Horace arrives to see Lucy one last time.

Ava waited outside the ward, not bothering to listen to what they all said, just wiping her red eyes.

Lucy's funeral was a simple affair, with a few friends and family.

Horace's nephew, Logan, who had only recently started elementary school, stood by his mother's hand and asked curiously, "Mom, where did Grandma go?"

Rebecca Jason sobbed uncontrollably.

When the funeral was over, Horace locked himself up in his study without eating or drinking.

This was also less than six months before they got married.

Ava brings the food to the study door three times a day and picks it up again.

By the third day, she sent over a letter of divorce papers as well.

This time, Horace finally walked out.

His eyes were downcast, his whole body was much thinner, and his voice was hoarse: "The time for the agreement has not yet come."

Ava whispered, "I know that you married me in the first place so that you could put Mom's mind at ease, and now she ...... I thought that the agreement could end early."

Horace smiled to himself, "But I couldn't get her to leave in peace in the end."

"You know all about your heart, Auntie Lucy."

Her name calling receded.

After a moment, Horace continued, "I'll have this agreement rewritten for you."

But she didn't want to stay and leave with regrets either.

At least in this marriage, once brought her belonging and warmth.

Ava took her things and left the Jason Family.

But just as she reached the door, her wrist was gripped and Horace's voice was calm and restrained: "Let's talk."

When Ava sat across from him, she seemed tied up compared to her boldness earlier.

She had thought that she could kiss someone and leave in style.

I didn't know there was this.

Horace put the divorce papers on the coffee table, "Do you want to divorce me."

Facing his blunt gaze, Ava didn't want to lie at this moment, so she lowered her head and said frankly, "No."

"But you brought up the divorce."

"It's not because ......" realizing that her voice was louder, Ava slowed down her tone again, "It's not because, you married me originally to complete the mission, now that the mission is over, I can't stay away. The actual fact is that instead of waiting for you to open up, I might as well say it myself first, so that when the time comes, I won't be a bit unprepared to leave in a mess."

Horace's lips pursed, "I thought it was you who wanted a divorce."

Ava jerked her head up, and suddenly she understood what he meant.

Horace picked up the divorce papers and slowly tore them up: "If you don't want to get a divorce, pretend it's not happening."

Ava's boiling heart suddenly cooled most of the time when she saw his calm and responsive demeanor.

She could have predicted that the reason Horace said no to divorce was not because he found himself in love with her, but because of duty.
