"I know you will be surprised, but doesn't your mouth feel sore?" Henry walked towards Adrian and closed his mouth.
Henry was worried that Adrian's chin would be dislocated.
Adrian said, "Why didn't I find out your identity before?"
"I think you have known that." Henry glanced at the glasses in his hand and then raised his eyes to look at his hair.
He hid it on purpose, so it was impossible for others to find out his identify. Although Adrian had taken off Henry's glasses several times, Adrian was drunk at that time and probably didn't see anything clearly.
"You are really good at acting." Adrian held the glasses, as if he was praising Henry or satirizing him.
Henry took out the clothes he was going to wear tonight, started to button up one by one, and explained to Adrian, "When my mother knew that I would work in Lexingport City, she repeatedly told me not to let others see my true face, so I disguised myself."
"Our mother doesn't want you to go back to the Ye family, but now you go back to the Ye family. How can you be so disobedient?" Adrian didn't want Henry to go back to the Ye family.
"That's my mother." Henry corrected him deliberately.
Adrian said, "Is there any difference? That's our mother. Don't try to change the topic. Our mother doesn't allow you to go back to the Ye family. Why do you do that? Do you want to take back what belongs to you or take revenge on your father?"
"Neither." Henry looked at Adrian with an unreadable expression in his eyes.
'I just hope that I can be powerful enough to protect you.' Henry thought.
"Why? If you return to the Ye family, you'll have to marry Vera. Besides, Vivian will definitely make trouble for you. As far as I know, ladies from eminent families who look innocent and kind are usually more cunning and sinister."
"As far as you know? Have you met a lot of women?" Henry put on his suit pants and walked towards Adrian. His dark expression showed that he was a little angry.
Adrian immediately became coward. "No. Your focus should be Vivian. She must be..."
Adrian paused and seemed to think of something.
"Vivian?" Adrian was suddenly enlightened. "I know it. The miscarriage of Vivian's mother resulted in the lost the formal heir of the Ye family. That's why John made your identity known to all. Right?"
Looking at Henry, who was silent, Adrian was more certain of his guess. "Vivian and Julie slandered Nina, so John forced you to go back to the Ye family to make Howard less angry. Right?"
Henry was silent for a moment. "Yes, but not really."
John did want to make Henry's identify known to all, but he didn't force him to go back to the Ye family.
"It's my decision to go back after thinking it over."
"Think it over?" Adrian grabbed Henry's collar and said angrily, "Do you fucking take a fancy to Vera?"
"No." Henry took down Adrian's hand and drew a circle on his palm. "Don't think too much.
It's about time. I'm going to the Ye family." Henry raised his hand and looked at his watch. He was ready to go out.
Adrian quietly watched Henry put the clothes thrown on the sofa into the bucket, went into the bathroom and came out.
Henry's words made Adrian more certain that it was because of Vivian. He knew the real reason for Julie's miscarriage.
In an instant, Adrian hated Vivian so much that anger rose in his mind.
"Will you drive me there?" Henry's gentle tone instantly extinguished Adrian's anger. He answered, "Okay."
The Ye family was especially lively today.
In order to welcome Henry back home, Howard gave orders in person to make preparation. A wrinkled smile appeared on his old face.
He had already forgotten that Julie had a miscarriage.
