Gwyneth shook her head frantically. "I don't want this. I'm a hundred times, a thousand times against this! Hawthorne, if you actually go, I will be absolutely furious with you.
Besides, you haven't even told me how long you'll be gone, or when I'll get the results. And if it fails? Is it just going to be another crushing disappointment?"
Gwyneth's bright eyes locked onto Hawthorne. She was on the verge of tears.
Hawthorne had already made up his mind, and Gwyneth couldn't change that, but he knew he couldn't just force it. He pulled her into his arms, gently stroking her long hair to comfort her.
"Don't worry, Gwyn, I'll be perfectly fine. And I promise I'll come back with a result that will make you happy."
The anxiety in Gwyneth's chest was only swelling larger, and she wrapped her arms tightly around Hawthorne's waist.
The two of them had just been taking a walk in the garden, but Gwyneth, consumed by her anxious thoughts, didn't care about the staff watching them. She clung to him, entirely refusing to let go.
Helpless, Hawthorne simply scooped her into his arms and carried her.
The little dog that had wandered into their yard and been adopted trotted behind them, keeping a polite distance. It would happily run circles around anyone else, but around Hawthorne, it always showed a hint of cautious hesitation.
Gwyneth buried her face into Hawthorne's shoulder, and out of his sight, her tears finally spilled over.
Hawthorne felt it, whispering softly into her ear. "Silly girl, I won't be gone that long. It's just a month. Thirty days will fly by. I'll give you a full report of my itinerary every single day."
No matter how many promises Hawthorne made, he couldn't put Gwyneth's mind at ease. Since his decision was absolutely unshakeable, Gwyneth could only lie in his arms and quietly complain.
"Couldn't you at least wait until after our wedding? Are you really in that much of a rush? The wedding is only three months away."
Hawthorne deeply understood his wife's reluctance to part with him, and his heart melted at the realization. In truth, they hadn't been dating for very long—from the moment they met to getting married, it had barely been over a month. Yet Gwyneth had entrusted the entire rest of her life to him.
For a woman with such profound love and loyalty, Hawthorne felt the only right thing to do was to accomplish the one thing she wanted most in this world.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge
I can’t even read this sickening story anymore, this couple didn’t even get a chance to be really happy before their marriage was torn apart. It had been dragged out long enough....
If Gwyn gets an abortion I am going to stop reading this story, I believe in pro-choice but come on. Why can't he just tell her what he is really doing with Patti instead of letting her think she is a mistress....
Why no updates? It’s been so long! Pls update....
