No Sex for Six Years Because of Her? I'm Done novel Chapter 152

Chapter 152 Forced Grace

“So what now?” Amelia said calmly. “Should I light a scented candle, wash myself clean, and stand there with flowers and applause waiting for her?

“Mr. Rowe, is she some great figure who deserves a grand reception?” she continued. “She came back, so I must personally go pay my respects for it to count as proper manners?”

“You!” Ethan’s face turned dark with anger. “Do you have to speak like this?”

He seemed to hold back his temper and slowed his tone, trying to sound reasonable.

“She doesn’t mean anything by it. She just wants to thank you in person.

“Hannah is very weak right now. She also feels guilty and thinks she caused you trouble. If you keep avoiding her and acting distant, it’ll only make everyone uncomfortable and turn things ugly.”

Amelia turned his words over in her mind.

So in his view, she, the legal wife, should generously go comfort the woman who stepped into her marriage and soothe her guilty heart.

For a moment, Amelia truly wanted to ask him if he remembered what he promised Mason, that he would treat her well from now on.

So this was Ethan’s idea of treating her well.

Bring the person who hurt her the most right in front of her, then force her to smile and play nice.

The words reached her lips, but she swallowed them back.

What was the point of asking?

When a person’s heart had already turned away, no matter how much you said or how much you did, it was all wrong.

Luckily, she had seen this clearly a long time ago and no longer expected anything from him.

Amelia slowly stood up and looked at him. Holding down the surge of disgust and discomfort in her chest, she gave in.

“Fine. I’ll go.”

She did not want to argue over something so pointless. She also did not want any trouble in these last days before dawn that could affect her carefully planned divorce.

Seeing her finally give in, Ethan’s tense expression eased

He noticed she was only wearing thin pajamas and frowned. He turned to the closet, took out a cashmere cardigan, and handed it to her. “Put this on. It is cold outside.”

The fake concern made Amelia’s stomach twist.

She did not take it and walked past him instead.

They walked one after the other through the quiet main house toward the back garden.

Chapter 152 Forced Grace

The two separate maid rooms had been remodeled, and a warm wall lamp glowed by the door.

When the door opened, the room was lively.

+5 Pearls

Grace and Fiona were both there, standing by the bed and fussing over Hannah, who was leaning against the headboard.

Hannah wore clean cotton pajamas. Her hair fell softly over her shoulders. Her face was pale with no color, making her look fragile and pitiful.

When Ethan and Amelia entered together, the chatter stopped at once.

Grace’s smile stiffened for a moment, then she warmly greeted her, “Amelia is here. Come sit down.”

Hannah’s reaction was far more dramatic.

She struggled to sit up, only to be pressed back down by Ethan, who stepped forward at once.

“Don’t move. You are not well yet.”

Hannah’s eyes turned red instantly. She looked at Amelia with emotion.

“Ms. Harlow, thank you for letting Ethan take us in again. I…”

She choked up, as if too moved to continue.

Then she pulled Isla closer and urged her, “Isla, hurry and thank Ms. Harlow. It’s because Ms. Harlow is kind that we have a place to stay.

Isla spoke unwillingly, “Thank you, Ms. Harlow.”

Amelia clenched her fingers at her side.

She did her best to hide the mockery rising in her eyes.

“It is fine. Focus on resting and getting better.”

Deep in Hannah’s tearful eyes, a flash of resentment passed quickly.

She leaned weakly against the bed and took a few shallow breaths.

“Ms. Harlow,” she said softly, forcing a grateful smile. “I know my request may be rude. But in my condition the doctor says I need at least a month of rest. I can’t get tired. Isla is still young and can be naughtya

I really can’t handle everything on my own.”

As she spoke, she broke into a hard cough. A sickly red spread across her pale face.
