Let’s Divorce Mrs. Wright Is Done Playing Nice novel Chapter 798

Chapter 798

Their eyes met.

When Jennifer saw the coldness in Leon’s gaze waver for even a second, all the hurt she had been holding back surged up at once.

The tears in her eyes thickened.

Leon had been furious.

But seeing her like that, he could only let out a helpless sigh.

“Jennifer…”

The hand holding her chin loosened.

He rolled off her and lay beside her.

The pressure was gone, and Jennifer finally let out a quiet breath.

But in the next moment, Leon pulled her into his arms.

He smelled faintly of pine, cool and clean.

“I believe you,” he said quietly. “About the hundred dollars. Okay?”

He believed her now.

He believed what his mother had done.

Jennifer’s expression hardened.

“Did I force you to believe me?”

The helplessness in his voice made it sound as though she had pressured him into it.

But what did it matter whether he believed her or not?

That was not what she wanted anymore.

“Then tell me. What do you want?” Leon asked, frustration rising in his voice.

When he had not believed her, she had been angry.

Now that he did believe her, she was still angry.

He truly did not know what to do with her.

“What I wanted wasn’t just for you to believe me.”

At first, it had been a test.

And the outcome had disappointed her.

It had been exactly like the way Evan had treated Stella.

When something showed you that clearly what was waiting ahead, the best thing to do was stop moving forward.

“Then tell me what you want.”

“What can you give me?”

With elders like the Wright family in Leon’s family, what could Leon really give her?

Probably nothing.

There was a sharp edge of mockery in Jennifer’s voice.

She was clearly saying that he could give her nothing.

Leon’s face darkened.

“I’ll marry you.”

Jennifer went still.

Marry her?

Then she laughed.

“Marry me? How exactly? Sneak away to get a marriage license behind your family’s back?”

“What do you take me for?” Leon snapped. “I’m a grown man. Do you really think I need to sneak around to marry you?”

Jennifer said nothing.

No, he did not need to sneak around.

But how far could his confidence as a grown man really go when he stood in front of his family?

Leon could not stand the look in her eyes.

He pressed her head gently against his neck.

“Be good. I’ll handle it, okay?”

“Leon, things were hard enough for Stella and Evan. And reality proves that even if you fight for something your elders oppose, it can still end badly.”

“Don’t compare us to them. We’re not the same.”

Evan and Stella had not only faced family opposition.
