Be the daughter-in-law of the Sharp family…
In fact, with the strange atmosphere tonight, Emily had already prepared herself for what Henry was about to say.
However, she had thought that he would say something like ‘shall we date?’.
In fact, she had no expectation at all. Seriously, she didn’t have any.
She and Henry were the type of person that they know each other because they got along with each long enough. She wouldn’t feel anything different even if she left him.
At least it was such a feeling for Emily.
As she expected before, if it was not vigorous, then a peaceful and calm one was also a feeling.
Especially during this time, it was Henry who took care of her all the time.
It was probably due to a mindset of paying back a debt of gratitude, or it was a natural development. Unexpectedly, she did not refuse such kind of development.
But, the daughter-in-law of the Sharp family. This title was too much burden.
“Henry…”
“You cannot accept it at the moment or you feel disgusted?” Henry stared straight into her diamond-like eyes as if he could see through the soul hidden in the deepest part of her heart.
After being stunned for a while, Emily suddenly relaxed all over.
Her thoughts could not be hidden from his eyes. If nobody had lovers in this life, then it was not a bad idea to be together.
“I do not feel disgusted.”
“I knew it.”
“Heh.” She really wanted to roll her eyes at him.
However, there was a question. Emily suddenly felt interested, “Do you like me?”
“Of course.” If he did not like her, why would he choose her to be his wife?
“Do you love me?”
Henry was stunned as she expected. He stared her eyes and saw that her look was like finding something new.
Love?
He had heard of this word, but he had never been in contact with it.
What the heck was love?
After a while, Henry said, “I will not find another woman and I will not abandon you and will not divorce.”
“And then?” Did it mean to love a woman if one could do all these?
“Then?” He suddenly felt this topic to be too profound to discuss.
“Master Henry, do you know what it means to love a woman?”
“My body has impulse on you.” Maybe that was a kind of love?
Didn’t someone say that love started from loving her body?
He seemed to see this from the internet.
Emily wanted to laugh. Was Henry too frank or too rude? Anyway, he looked naive.
“So you think that your body has impulse on me… Means love?”
“Do we have to figure this question out?” The two being together, wasn’t it good enough to feel comfortable and happy?
Henry’s words confused Emily again.
Did they have to figure this question out? Wasn’t it enough to be together?
What was love and what was marriage?
To love someone didn’t mean that they had to marry. Not to love someone didn’t mean that the life after marriage would not be happy.
In fact, wasn’t being happy the most important thing?
Seeing her confused expression, Henry couldn’t help curling up his lips and smiled slightly.
