When Two Winters Met (Henrietta and Yosef) novel Chapter 378

Given Yosef's height and muscular build, he must have been incredibly heavy as dead weight.

Britney had to have gritted her teeth and pushed through the agony, driven by a singular determination to save him.

"So," Yosef took a deep breath and looked at Henrietta. "Things between us weren't just a simple arranged engagement that ended amicably. There's a massive debt of gratitude standing between us."

"I proposed to her twice, all because she saved my life."

Henrietta asked, puzzled, "If she was willing to risk her life to save yours, why didn't she marry you? You asked twice, and she still said no."

Yosef lowered his gaze. Whether he shared her confusion or was hiding something else was unclear. "She said I had no feelings for her. She wanted my complete devotion, an intense, passionate love."

"You..." Henrietta's surprise grew. "You didn't... like her? You had no feelings for her?"

Yosef stayed quiet.

Henrietta realized the question was probably a bit inappropriate.

A wife interrogating her husband about his feelings for his ex-girlfriend...

Henrietta swiftly changed the subject. "Her demands... weren't unreasonable."

"Since that's the case," Henrietta continued, "I understand now. I completely agree with you. You absolutely should be lenient with the Leland family. A life debt is more important than anything."

Yosef looked at her. "Can you really... understand?"

Henrietta nodded. "She saved your life, which means I owe her, too. Otherwise, how could I have ever married you?"

For a moment, Yosef couldn't decipher the overwhelming emotions swirling in his chest. All he could do was reach out and pull Henrietta into a tight embrace.

The two of them held each other closely in absolute silence.

After a while, Yosef finally whispered, "Henrietta, how do you always manage to leave me so completely helpless when it comes to you?"

With those words, he captured her lips in a deep kiss, letting the intoxicating scent of their passion replace any need for conversation.

As the intimacy peaked, Yosef breathed heavily, his voice incredibly tight with desire. "Henrietta, let's just stay happily together like this forever, okay?"

Henrietta let out a soft moan and replied, "Okay."

No more words were spoken between them.

It turned out to be an incredibly heavy burden of gratitude.

And now, adding in the drama with that senior from college...

With their joint variety show appearance just around the corner, the anticipation was at an all-time high.

The engagement on their Couple Shipping Forum was exploding to unprecedented levels.

Henrietta planned to have them dive straight into the international film project right after the variety show wrapped.

Initially, the strategy was to book them on several shows, but their current level of fame had completely exceeded Henrietta's expectations.

As long as they were trending, that was all that mattered.

Limiting their appearances to just one show before officially announcing the international project would actually drive the fans wilder.

This kind of scarcity marketing played perfectly into human psychology.

Giving the audience just a taste left them craving more and eagerly anticipating what came next.

Because of this, Matteo and Artina were thrown into a non-stop, grueling schedule.

Henrietta didn't have the time to micromanage them, either.

But she made sure Winona was keeping a close eye on their every move.
