Divorce and Freedom No More Homemaker for Him novel Chapter 855

Chapter 855 What Can You Do For Me?

Halle ignored his nonsense and asked curiously. “Then what exactly do you think marriage should look like?”

Halle had dealt with all kinds of people for years, and no one had ever said there was something wrong with her personality. No ofte had ever asked her to change who she was or change the way she lived

Instead, other people usually changed themselves to match her preferences.

For example, James. At first, he was a rough kind of guy. Even though he wore expensive designer brands, his clothes were mostly simple jackets picked for convenience. They looked fine, but they had no style. Now he understood fashion better. His whole style changed a lot. Now he looked like a classy and fashionable rich young man.

Of course, Halle thought that kind of change was a good thing.

So, she really wanted to see what Edgar expected from her after all these years.

Edgar said, “If we’re getting married, we’ll have to spend time around our families. You should care more about my feelings like you used to. Stand by my side. Speak up for me. We should cover for each other so that the elders won’t worry about us. And when needed, you should help me. But now, all you do is go against me.”

Halle nodded in understanding. “So… I should pay more attention to your feelings, care about your emotions, comfort you whenever you’re upset. And if something goes wrong, we clean up the mess together.”

Edgar didn’t think there was anything wrong with that at all. “Exactly. That’s what women are supposed to do. Women should be gentle and supportive, standing behind their man.”

A moment ago, Halle thought they had nothing to talk about because Edgar didn’t understand her humor. Their conversations felt stiff and awkward, so they could never really connect. But now she realized the real problem was that their way of thinking had become completely different.

Edgar’s way of thinking was old-fashioned and outdated. He liked women who acted sweet and dependent, women who comforted him and looked up to him. Of course, plenty of people still thought that way, but Halle had never expected Edgar to be one of them.

No wonder he and Nina got together. Nina had that soft and delicate look, and her gentle personality made men want to protect her.

Halle wasn’t saying she never needed protection from others. When necessary, she and Ayla supported each other and worked together. But being protected every second of the day? She didn’t need that at all. In fact, many people at her company depended on her instead. There was no way Halle could meet Edgar’s expectations, and she knew she could never become the kind of woman he wanted.

Halle didn’t answer him directly. Instead, she asked, “Okay, I understand what you want from me. But I’m curious-what can you do for me? A relationship goes both ways. I need to see your sincerity too.”

Edgar frowned. “I already came back to the country. Isn’t that enough?”

Halle suddenly felt he was incredibly selfish. “Did yo

grandparents, and the rest of your family pressuring you too? If you stayed overseas, they would’ve keep bothering you. There were obviously other reasons you came back, so don’t put it all on me like you sacrificed so much for my sake.”

Edgar’s face turned red. It was like his true thoughts had been exposed right in front of her. Shane and anger filled his face, and he glared at Halle with almost hateful eyes. His emotions were impossible to hire.

Halle noticed it, and she felt disappointed in him. It had been a long time since she talked with someone so emotional. He couldn’t even handle hearing one honest sentence. That only showed he was sensitive and insecure. If she didn’t completely go along with him, being around him would be exhausting

Edgar wasn’t like this before. How had he gotten worse instead of better?

The people around Halle were all moving forward in life, but Edgar seemed stuck in place. He couldn’t keep up with her anymore.

Halle said calmly, “I don’t believe you came back for me. So besides that, what else can you do for me?”

Edgar replied, “Then can you meet the conditions I asked for?”

Halle said, “I need to know what you’re willing to do first before we keep talking.”

Edgar snapped, “Halle, I seriously can’t stand you anymore! How did you become so cold and heartless? You can’t even do a little for me or think about my feelings? Are my requests really that unreasonable?”
