When Two Winters Met (Henrietta and Yosef) novel Chapter 383

Her words plunged Yosef into silence.

Henrietta looked directly at him. "Yosef, let's head back."

The situation had reached a total stalemate, and lingering in the room wouldn't solve anything.

It was better to leave and give everyone time to process.

Maybe later, Britney would regret what she had said.

People were like that—sometimes the heat of the moment and a surge of emotion made them say things they regretted shortly after.

Yosef and Henrietta left together.

Back in the room, the three Leland siblings all looked grim.

"He was completely unreasonable to begin with," Aster grumbled. "Since when does someone deserve to go bankrupt and be chased out of Juno City just for admiring his wife? It's absurd. There are thousands of men in this city—can he ruin them all?"

In the car, Henrietta was actually mulling over the exact same question.

It was part of the reason she hadn't wanted to tell Yosef in the first place.

Now that the truth was out, it only made everyone miserable and caught in the middle.

Back at Elysium Manor, the couple washed up and got into bed.

Henrietta thought for a moment before speaking up. "Yosef, was it my..."

Before she could finish, Yosef interrupted, "It's not your fault."

Henrietta pressed her lips together but forced herself to finish her thought. "Did I blow things out of proportion? Whether it's someone pursuing me or someone pestering you, if we just eradicate every single person who crosses the line, we won't have a life left to live."

Yosef frowned, turning his gaze toward her. "What are you suggesting, Henrietta?"

"Let's just drop it," she said softly. "Don't target the Leland family. Britney really did save your life, and Aster stepped up to protect me this time. The fact that you were willing to stand by me today... that makes me more than happy enough."

Yosef understood her meaning. At the end of the day, Henrietta just didn't want to put him in a difficult position.

Deep down, he believed protecting his wife was his duty as a man. But when it came to the Leland family, Britney's life-saving grace truly was a massive hurdle in his heart.
