Chapter 44 You Want to Divorce Me?


    "Mom!" ra shot Helena an angry nce as if ming her mom for asking the question.


    "Come on, ra. I am just worried about you. Marriage is a big thing for you, but you have decided


    without my opinion." Helena mumbled.


    "It''s okay, ra." Compared to ra''s embarrassment, Horace seemed quite calm. "This is my name


    card."


    Helena took the name card and when she saw Horace was a "chief executive officer" and


    "shareholder", she was quite surprised. "Solrace… I haven''t heard of thispany," Helena hesitated,


    then continued, "What about your parents? What are their jobs?"


    This time, ra was stunned at her mom''s question and was even more anxious to stop her mom from


    asking anymore. But it was toote. Horace answered inly, "My parents have passed away. But my


    grandfather is Russell."


    "Russell?" Helena paused. "Russell Kirnd?" She didn''t know about Solrace since it was a new


    everyone in Stratmont.


    "Yes," Horace admitted.


    "Russell is your grandfather," Helena thought aloud, "So you are also a Kirnd, and also Russell''s


    second grandson."


    Horace nodded while Helena''s face blenched at his admission and couldn''t even speak a word.


    "Horace…" ra knew what Helena was thinking about, so she called on Horace to distract him.


    "Horace, I want to go home to take a shower. Could you drive me home? You can wait for me in the


    car."


    Horace nodded and turned to Helena, saying, "I''lle to visit you tomorrow then. Please take care."


    Helena said nothing but watched as Horace went, her face still ghastly white.


    Once Horace left, Helena turned to ra immediately and said to ra weakly but firmly, "ra, you


    can''t stick with this man. Divorce him as soon as possible."


    ra felt a shiver running through her spine and she eximed, "What are you talking about, mom?"


    Helena grabbed ra''s hand and said, "I said, divorce him! Don''t you know what will happen if you


    marry a rich man? Just look at me! A poor woman jilted by her husband. How can you know whether


    he truly loves you or not? Maybe he just wants to y with your affections."


    Hearing Helena''s words, ra also turned pale but she still tried to disprove her mom, "No, mom, it


    can''t be! We have already married."


    "So what? Maybe he just needs a nominal wife." Though Helena had been unconscious for two years,


    her mind was still clear. "Or how to exin why he, a noble Kirnd, will marry amon girl."


    ra was rendered speechless. Deep in her heart, she knew what Helena said was true. On the very


    first day of their marriage, ra knew the only reason why Horace married her was that he needed a


    wife. But what she didn''t tell Helena was that she was willing to marry Horace because she needed the


    citizenship in Stratmont. Since both of them had their own purposes, she felt it untenable to me


    Horace.


    ra tried to ignore the point but exined to her mom, "Mom, I think Horace is a good man." And she


    said what she meant. Though she and Horace hadn''t known each other much, Horace always showed


    up when she was in need, just like this time, saving her mom from the emergency.


    "ra! Don''t you understand all his kindness is just the disguise? Just look at me and you will know


    how a man can destroy your whole life. I just want you to live in happiness." Helena eximed, and


    she was so worried about her daughter that she even burst into tears at the end.


    This was too painful for ra to watch, so she came forward and hug Helena tightly, saying, "Mom,


    don''t be so sad. It''s not good for your recovery. To tell you the truth, I marry him because I need to


    secure the citizenship and the medical insurance for you. I have never been in love with him."


    What ra said stopped Helena from crying. Raising her head up, Helena looked at ra surprisingly


    and asked, "Are you sure?"


    "Of course," ra looked into Helena''s eyes and said, "You are my mom. Can''t you tell whether I love


    him or not?" It was true that Helena knew ra well and could even tell if her daughter was really


    infatuated with the man or not, just like Helena could tell years ago, ra had been deep in love with


    Darren. After all, Helena was ra''s mom and had raised ra up on her own.


    Helena was reassured by ra''s words, but she didn''t forget to remind ra, "Fine. But promise me,


    ra, divorce him once you have the chance."


    However, it never urred to ra that she would divorce Horace. Despite of the reasons why she


    married him and his noble identity, ra never intended to end the rtionship. But seeing her mom''s


    pale face, ra had to lie, "Okay, mom, I promise you."


    Helena breathed a sigh of relief but at the same time, she couldn''t help but feel a sense of guilt, so she


    said, "ra, me me if you want to. It will be more difficult to find a good man if you divorce."


    ra hugged her mom more tightly, tears glistening in her eyes, and she said, "Mom, it''s okay. I am the


    happiest person in the world only if you are by my side." She then tucked her mom in bed and when


    she was about to leave, she saw a folder on the bedside table, which was probably forgotten by


    Horace. So, she put the folder into her bag and left the ward.


    As for Horace, he just wheeled into the car when Isaac asked surprisingly, "Mr. Horace, what takes you


    so long? I think you are just going to pick up the folder left in the ward?"


    But Horace didn''t answer. Isaac turned around bewilderedly and only found himself facing Horace''s


    dark and angry face directly, which gave Isaac quite a shock. Isaac thought to himself, "What the hell


    happened? Mr. Horace has been quite amiable all the way but he now bes so sulky. God, please


    don''t let Mr. Horace be mad at me."


    Ten minutester, ra joined Horace in the car, with the folder in her hand. "Horace? Is this your


    folder? You left it in the ward."


    Horace didn''t reach out to get the folder in ra''s hand but only tilted his head to stare at ra, his

    eyes dark, without any emotion in them, which made ra feel ill at ease, and she said timidly,


    "Horace?"


    The cautious expression on ra''s face reminded Horace of what he had identally heard when he


    was about to pick up the folder in the ward— "To tell you the truth, I marry him because I need to


    secure the citizenship and the medical insurance for you. I have never been in love with him." Though


    he knew this long ago, it still rendered him sulky when he heard ra confessing it. Horace couldn''t


    help but get lost in his thoughts, "Of course, she will tell her mom everything. How can you be affected


    by ra? Stay tough, Horace!"


    Finally, Horace ignored the folder and spoke in a cold voice, "ra, you want to divorce me?"
