When Two Winters Met (Henrietta and Yosef) novel Chapter 117

Henrietta stood up, enunciating each word with chilling clarity. "I've already told you. Are you deaf, or just stupid? We broke up, and there is no possibility of getting back together. So, get that idea out of your head. As for why the company is still promoting you, don't flatter yourself. It's purely for business. Now, you are going to take responsibility for your lies and apologize to me properly."

Matteo felt like he was about to choke on his own anger. He had given her all his money, and she was still treating him like this? Still demanding an apology?

But he had already tried arguing, and she hadn't budged an inch.

Left with no other choice, Matteo softened his tone again. "Henrietta, I've already said you can yell at me, get angry, do whatever you want. Just don't say such hurtful things out of spite... I really do love you. I can't live without you."

Henrietta stared at him coldly. "I said, apologize!"

"You!" Matteo was at his wit's end. "Henrietta, don't go too far. I've treated you well over the years. If you insist on being this stubborn, don't come crying to me when you get hurt by some other man!"

With that, he turned to leave.

"Stop," Henrietta commanded. "Apologize."

Matteo was furious. "So what if I lied? It helped you test that guy, didn't it? That Leland fellow acts like he's so into you, but what? Is he offended? I've already told you, no other man would put up with—"

"Apologize," Henrietta cut him off, her voice like ice.

Matteo was burning with frustration. He had already debased himself, swallowing his pride and begging her to take him back. But there was a limit to his patience. He didn't want to apologize.

"Henrietta, you're pushing me too far. I'm a man, for God's sake! I gave you all my money, and you're still going to torment me like this?"

She scoffed. "One thing at a time. You won't apologize? Fine. From a business perspective, it's most profitable to keep promoting you, but if..."

She didn't need to finish. Matteo understood her threat instantly and his resolve crumbled. He cut her off. "Fine, fine! I'll apologize, alright? You... ah, forget it. I'll do it."

He bowed his head. "I'm sorry, baby. I was wrong. I'll never spread lies and rumors again. Please forgive me."
