Chapter 126
Instinctively, she tried to retreat and avoid him, but every time she stepped back, he moved closer. In the end, she had no choice. but to press herself against the wall.
Henry looked at her delicate face, her expression of wariness and defense so clear. It was as if she really had lost her memory and couldn't remember how much she had once relied on him.
He only felt frustrated. He wanted to destroy that expression on her face to see her return to the way she was before.
"Victoria, I've been thinking about what your purpose is with this amnesia act. How about you tell me, what do you want most right now?"
Victoria couldn't understand what he was thinking. She didn't hide anything and answered directly, "I want a divorce."
Henry's gaze sharpened, and his face grew even colder.
He thought, "This is her true feeling, so she has really lost her memory."
He firmly believed that the Victoria he knew would never ask for a divorce.
He released her chin and said in a low voice, "Tomorrow, I'll arrange for you to undergo hypnosis. Once you regain your memory, you won't have this thought anymore."
With that, he turned to leave.
"Henry!" Behind him, her calm and soft voice called out.
He paused but didn't turn around to look at her. It was as if he knew she would say something that would anger him, and he didn't want to hear it.
Victoria stared at his rigid back and sighed softly before asking, "I still remember when I first woke up
from the car accident and asked you who you were.
You said we were friends, and then I found out we were married.
I guessed our marriage wasn't harmonious or happy, so I thought, since that's the case, why not end this marriage?
That way, neither of us would be holding the other back.
But after all this time, you still refuse to divorce. Why?"
She spoke quietly, and her tone was calm as she walked up beside him and fixed her gaze on his back. The spark in her eyes gradually faded, and she continued, "Did you fall in love with me?"
If that was the reason, it would be laughable.
She had been by his side for five years, and he never showed her a hint of affection. But now, she woke up and no longer wanted him, if he were to say that he had fallen in love with her and didn't want a divorce, then what did those five years mean?
The scene was silent, with only faint voices and laughter from the hallway outside.
Time passed second by second.
Victoria could even hear the steady beat of her own heart, calm and steady.
She had no expectations or emotional fluctuations.
"If you think I'm a competent wife, a suitable Mrs. Harrison, and that's why you don't want a divorce, then forget it.
Once I started thinking about divorce, I could no longer fulfill the role of Mrs. Harrison," she spoke again, calmly explaining, hoping that by presenting her reasoning, he would agree to the divorce.
Sarah had returned to the country, and Henry was thrilled. He ignored her, who had been in the accident, and went to see Sarah's performance with Jude.
He had been so indifferent before. She really couldn't understand why he wouldn't divorce her. He didn't love her, yet he wouldn't let her go. Why?
As she got lost in these thoughts, Henry turned to face her. Hist handsome, sharp face showed no sign of other emotions.
"Let's talk about this once you regain your memory," he said. His gaze settled on her in a way that made her feel inexplicably uneasy. But his words seemed to offer her a glimmer of hope.
If regaining her memory meant they could talk about it, then she could recover it in an instant!
She watched his retreating figure, her heart pounding. Without wasting any more time, she went straight to Diana's house.
Diana was very rational and able to analyze things to their core.
After hearing Victoria's account, Diana immediately said, "You can't claim to have regained your memory."
"Why not?" Victoria asked in confusion, "Once I claim that, we can divorce."
"He's testing you," Diana said, her small face serious and cold.
"He's thrown out bait. If you take it, he'll be convinced that you've been pretending all along.
I don't know what the consequences will be, but I'm sure they'll be serious.
When that time comes, don't even think about getting a divorce.
He might use all kinds of methods to retaliate against you.
Don't forget, at Sir Caldwell's banquet, you only insulted him once, and he nearly had your identity as Ms. Aroma erased. "
Victoria fell silent. Now that Diana had pointed it out, she was stunned. No wonder he seemed so calm. She thought he had believed her! It turned out he had been waiting for her to fall into his trap!
"So what should I do now?" Victoria asked, a worried look on her face.
Diana suddenly asked, "Did you contact the lawyer I recommended to you?"
"Don't even mention it. He hasn't responded to me at all," Victoria said, pulling out her phone to show Diana.
Seeing Victoria's expression, Diana took out her phone and checked it before saying, "Oh, he's climbed Mount Evely. If he comes back alive, he'll contact you."
Victoria was speechless.
Diana calmly looked at her and said, "This can only be dealt with step by step. You need to mind your movement and avoid provoking him. He's a very petty person. Divorcing him is the right decision."
Victoria grabbed a pillow and covered her face, letting out a mournful sigh. "But how can I successfully get a divorce?"
