When Two Winters Met (Henrietta and Yosef) novel Chapter 102

Yosef pulled back and simply looked at her, leaving Henrietta completely stunned. She was momentarily paralyzed, unsure how to react.

Was this what a respectful, formal marriage was like? An exchange of all the proper courtesies, including a farewell kiss?

If so, it… wasn’t so bad.

Henrietta bit her lip, deciding to just ask. “Do… I need to kiss you back?”

Yosef’s eyebrow arched slightly. “It’s up to you,” he said, his voice cool and even.

“Oh,” she replied. “Then… maybe next time.” She didn’t feel quite ready, a strange mix of awkwardness and something else fluttering inside her.

“Alright,” he agreed. Just a single word, no teasing, no greasy charm. It was a comfortable interaction that put her at ease.

“I’m going now. Goodbye,” Henrietta said, her composure returning.

“Text me when you’re inside,” Yosef instructed with a nod.

She murmured her assent and stepped out of the car. Calvert closed the door behind her and bowed respectfully. “Take care, Mrs. Nash.”

“Thank you,” she said, turning toward the gate. Just as she reached the entrance, several cars screeched to a halt, aggressively blocking the way to the Sargent estate. Henrietta turned around.

Inside the car, Calvert, who had just started the engine, hit the brakes again. Seeing the men who emerged from the vehicles, he said, “It’s Mr. Leland.”

Yosef’s expression hardened as he looked out the window. “Let’s see what he wants.”

“Yes, sir.”
