The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge novel Chapter 756

“I’m fine. If that’s all, I’d like to rest.”

She had wanted to tell him about the pregnancy, but with his other woman already carrying his child, she was certain he wouldn’t care about the two lives growing inside her.

“We don’t have to be at each other’s throats. We are still husband and wife, after all.”

The statement almost made Gwyneth laugh out loud.

“Husband and wife? We’re just a couple on paper, with a marriage certificate and a wedding reception to our name. Oh, and I forgot about the other ceremony we have to hold at the end of the year,” she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Don’t worry. I told you I’d help you, and I will. The wedding will proceed as planned. You can count on me. I’m not the type to go back on my word, unlike some people who say one thing and do another.”

The insinuation was blatant, but Hawthorne could only pretend not to hear it.

As long as he kept Patti Yale around, Gwyneth would never believe a word he said. And yet, he couldn't reveal his true plan.

He knew that once a woman believes her man is lying, nothing he says can restore her trust. With that in mind, Hawthorne decided there was no point in explaining himself. He would have to deal with James first, and only then could he tell Gwyneth the truth about everything. As for Patti Yale, he had already arranged an exit strategy for her. Whether she kept her child with James was her decision to make; it had nothing to do with him. He wouldn't pressure her to keep it or to terminate the pregnancy—the choice was entirely hers. For now, Patti was simply a pawn in his game against James.
