Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth novel Chapter 360

Susan answered the phone.

“Hi, Susan,” She heard Henry’s gentle voice through the phone.

Susan was mute for a while. Then she said, “Hi, Henry.”

“Why didn’t you come to the office for such a long time? Are you OK?” Henry asked. He pretended as if nothing happened.

Susan shut her mouth, for she was searching for words to announce her pregnancy. She had Manuel’s baby.

He asked, “Do you feel well? Or just have another fight with your dad?” He was as gentle as always.

“No,” Susan replied, “I am pregnant.” She chose to tell him directly.

So that’s why this sentence muted the man on the phone. He was silent for a long while.

With tears gathering in her eyes, Susan could imagine how hard this moment could be for Henry. Just like her, it was a tough moment as she was notified she had a baby with Manuel.

“Sorry, Henry.” She added.

“No need for apology.” The man chuckled and said, “Congratulations.”

“No, please don’t. You must know that can hurt me for saying so. Indeed, I am…” She failed to finish her line.

“If only that’s what you want. Whatever.” Henry disturbed her and added, “If only you were happy.”

“No, I’m not. How can I be happy to have Manuel’s baby?” Susan said it loud. It was loud enough to hear as standing by the door which Manuel was going to open.

He was just right at the door. But he did not come in. So Susan did not notice him.

“The baby is innocent.” Henry added, “Don’t transfer your hate for Manuel to this innocent baby. That might hurt him.”

“I know. I am surely clear that the baby is innocent. And that’s why I keep him. If not, if not…” Susan choked with sobs.

“I know.” Henry tried to comfort her and said, “Susan, don’t be hard to yourself. I understand what that means to you.”

“But that means it’s over for us.” Susan said. She felt heartbroken as saying that. She had planned a divorce to Manuel someday. And she must go back to Henry then. But the baby made that day impossible. She might doom to get tangled with Manuel for all her life.

“I see.” Henry said peacefully, “There is no need to consider me. Just do whatever is important for you. I can accept if that is your choice.”

“Henry, how can you be so nice all the way?” Susan said with a broken heart. That was too much for her. The kinder Henry was, the more she suffered.

“To get you hurt or suffered is not what I want from you, Susan. Take good care of yourself. I have to go.” Henry said.

Susan gripped the phone so firmly as if that was her last treasury. She knew what it meant for hanging up the call. That was an official bye. But there was no other choice. She hung up the phone finally.

Officially bye, Henry.

They had no future any more. After the call, Susan cried her heart out. Manuel, standing at the door and hearing all this, left silently. He could feel how hard Susan was. But he was not the one that could console her. So he could only leave in silence.

As hearing the buzz of the call, Henry’s expression changed. Though he had said if only Susan was happy, he could feel Susan’s leaving him. She gave him up. And he had nothing to do but accepted.

But how could he! How could he give up the property of Phillips Bank that he had coveted for so long?

With a black look, Henry refused to accept. It was impossible for him to allow a happy ending for Susan and Manuel.

…

Hannah just came back to her office after a meeting. Then Susan’s call came to her.

“How are you today?” Hannah asked with a smile.
