My billionaire husband spoils me too much novel Chapter 854

May and Charles ran upstairs anxiously.

There was no elevator in this old building. Their footsteps sounded urgent, and Charles's new girlfriend followed them curiously.

Before they reached Henry's rented house, an old lady stopped them at a corner.

"You, you're the girlfriend of that handsome foreign man, aren't you? I haven't seen you for a long time."

She was an old woman, so May had to greet her patiently, nodded awkwardly, and said, "I'm busy recently."

"It's normal for couples to quarrel. I used to fight with my husband. I smashed the back of his head and made him stay in the hospital..." The old woman spoke very slowly.

May interrupted, "I, I'll talk to you later. I have something urgent to do. I should go now..."

The old lady looked at May and Charles, who had completely run out of patience, and raised her head to advise, "Last time that foreigner, your boyfriend, was hospitalized with acute gastric hemorrhage, and he looked quite pitiful. Such a handsome young man did no big mistake. Just forgive him..."

The old people easily softened, especially facing such a handsome foreign man.

May had climbed up the stairs, but she could still hear what the old lady said.

Her face suddenly turned pale. She really didn't know what had happened to Henry. She thought that it would be better if she left him.

She walked even more frantically and knocked on the door hurriedly. "Henry!" She had never been so eager to want to see him.

The door was quickly opened, almost the second after she shouted.

When she saw the man in front of her, her panic and worry all disappeared. But she became a little flustered.

"Henry, are you, are you okay?" Her voice also calmed down.

Henry tidied up himself. He was not as unkempt as before, wearing a formal shirt and trousers, showing his straight and amazing figure in front of the small broken door.

He looked at her and said emotionlessly, "May, you told me to wait here on the phone just now. And then I wait here for you."

His English was still not very fluent, but his words were clear, word by word, very sincere, like a primary school student who handed in homework, not daring to make any mistakes.

(You told me to wait here on the phone just now. And then I wait here for you.") Those words echoed in May's mind.

May sniffled. She didn't know why she used to think he looked stupid. Now she knew-- because he always looked like he hadn't grown up.

Seeing May was on the verge of tears, Henry panicked. "Did I, did I do something wrong again?" He subconsciously wanted to step forward and hug her, but then he remembered that they were just ordinary friends and withdrew his hands.

Henry scratched his hair in distress. "I, I didn't mean to disturb you again and again. I just..."

He lowered his head, not knowing what to say.

"I'm sorry." This was probably the only thing he could say.

May stood on tiptoe and hugged him.

In this warm embrace, Henry was shocked and felt that it was unreal. He stood stiffly as May sobbed softly, her tears wetting his neck, which made his expression more gloomy.

"May, did I disappoint you?"

His stiff arms reached out to hug her, but then he shrank them back.

"I know I'm annoying. I, I just can't help bothering you again and again... I'm going back to F Country. I won't..." Henry said.

May's warm breath whispered in his ear, "Where's your ring?"

Henry paused and didn't understand why she talked about the ring. He lowered his head and saw her crying with tearful eyes.

"Don't, don't cry. I'll..."

Henry was always like this, looking like a fool at the critical moment.
