“Stay quiet? Why should I stay quiet? How can I stay quiet?” Henry Armstrong’s father redirected his anger toward Jenny Armstrong.
After uttering those words, he immediately regretted it…
However, words that were spoken couldn’t be taken back.
Jenny wasn’t angry. Instead, she cautiously walked over to her father and sat down. She then crossed her arms tightly. “Dad… As long as you allow Henry to be happy… I will promise you that I’ll allow you to take complete control of my marriage…
“From now on, I’ll cooperate with you by meeting all those men you liked but whom I didn’t want to meet before…
“Moreover, I won’t intentionally act strangely just to put people off as I did before… I will definitely behave well…
“I can sacrifice my happiness in return for Henry’s happiness…
“Also, I promise I will get married to a man you approve of. It will help the Armstrong family get even better.
“Of course, if you disagree, then I will also leave this family and live with Henry. If that happens, not only will you lose a son, but you’ll also lose me, your daughter…
“No matter how you look at this deal, the former is still the better option, isn’t it?” Jenny added.
Jenny knew her father’s temper well…
She also knew Henry’s temper well.
Neither of them will give in at the end of the day.
When the time came, everything would thoroughly collapse.
Regardless of how much their father loved them, he definitely wouldn’t easily compromise on something important like this.
If Henry only had his wife but not his parents, there would be something missing in his happiness…
Jenny didn’t want Henry’s happiness to be incomplete.
Hence, she was willing to sacrifice her happiness for Henry’s.
Ever since they were kids, Henry had always been the one protecting her against all harm.
This time, she would protect Henry instead. She would brave the storm for him…
The bond between the siblings touched him.
After hearing his reply, Jenny smiled satisfactorily. She then walked out the door.
The early autumn night felt a little cold.
As soon as she walked out, cold breezes blew against her. She immediately felt goosebumps all over her body.
However, she didn’t find cover in the house. Instead, she stood in front of the door and looked up at the sky full of stars.
‘Henry, as long as you’re happy…
‘I hope my sacrifice will bring you a lifetime of joy and happiness from doing what you want…’ She thought to herself.
The moonlight shone upon her bare face.
It made her intricately cold and fair skin appear seemingly translucent.
