Chapter 781: Chapter 479: She Fell in Love with You
Ivy’s words made Henry Sullivan fall silent once again.
Yes, what was missing in that home was love.
She pulled her wrist away from his hand.
"Henry, love cannot be forced. I know... I understand what you’re thinking.
You think that as long as you and I live well in this house, it can last a lifetime.
But I’ve really deliberated for a long time, and it’s not like that.
Being with you, I’m also very happy, but I can’t find happiness on your face.
Upon careful thought, isn’t it because you don’t love me?
Because you don’t love me, you think being with me is just forced.
I don’t want a man who doesn’t love me to run rampant in my life forever.
The question I just asked might have been sudden.
But only a sudden question can reveal your true feelings, right?
Henry, I don’t owe you or Isla Linton, so I don’t want to be a legal third party in your true love anymore.
This child... I’ll raise them well.
Whenever you want to see him, you can call me anytime.
But the only thing is, I won’t live with you anymore."
After Ivy finished speaking, she turned and left. Henry Sullivan stood in place, watching as Ivy walked away.
He didn’t know whether he should chase after her.
Ivy wanted to hail a cab, but damn, there wasn’t a single taxi.
In the end, it was Henry Sullivan who drove after her. He asked her to get in the car, but Ivy was unwilling.
Henry Sullivan parked the car and got out to pester her again, "Don’t be like this, let’s go home first and talk about this after the new year."
"Nothing will change after the new year." Ivy looked at him, "I’ve already made up my mind."
"But there are no cars on the road now, where do you want to go with your big belly."
"I’ll stay at a hotel," Ivy’s voice was very calm.
"Then get in the car, I’ll take you to a hotel."
Ivy looked at the deserted road and finally decided not to compromise.
She opened the back door of the car and got in, and after Henry Sullivan closed the door for her, he got in and started the car to leave.
Seeing that the car was heading home, Ivy became a bit anxious, "I’m not going home with you."
"I know you don’t want to see me now, you go home, and I’ll stay at a hotel for the next few days."
Ivy looked at his back, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I’ll go to the house in the city, and you go stay at the base."
Henry Sullivan didn’t resist. After the car arrived at the entrance of the community, Ivy got out with her bag.
He followed her to the door, and after Ivy entered, she directly closed the door.
Henry Sullivan, being shut out, let out a faint sigh. He knocked on the door, "I’ll come back tonight to deliver food, don’t wander around alone."
Ivy didn’t respond, and Henry Sullivan turned to leave.
He didn’t go to the base but instead went to the normally open Sa Bar.
Owen Lennon seldom goes home, so he knew he could definitely find him there.
Sure enough, Owen Lennon was still conducting business with foreign clients during the new year.
Seeing him, Owen Lennon was obviously surprised, "Why did you come during the new year? It’s not time for New Year’s greetings, right?"
Henry Sullivan sat down next to him with a serious face. Owen Lennon disconnected the call, crossed his legs, and looked at him, "What’s going on? You look lifeless, did something happen?"
Henry Sullivan was silent for a moment, "My marriage might be coming to an end."
"What’s happening? Did Isla remember something?"
Henry Sullivan shook his head, "It’s Ivy, Ivy doesn’t want to continue with this loveless marriage anymore. She wants to divorce me."
"No way," Owen Lennon crossed his arms, "Ivy doesn’t seem like that kind of person. Tell me, what’s going on, and I’ll analyze it for you."
With a heavy expression, Henry Sullivan recounted to Owen Lennon what happened after leaving the Sullivan’s dinner.
"I really don’t understand, from the day she knew about Isla, she’s known how I feel about Isla. Why is it only now that she’s causing a scene, with only four months left until the child is born, is this meaningful?"
Owen Lennon picked up his wine glass, "Henry, as I see it, Ivy has already been very patient.
Actually, if you think about it, although she’s young, everything she said today was reasonable.
How far can a marriage without love go, have you thought about it?
Why don’t I believe in marriage? Because I don’t believe in love.
Actually, this is the same theory Ivy has.
Ivy’s demands are not excessive; she just wants your love."
Henry Sullivan sighed, "This love, I can’t give."
"Why can’t you give it? Just because you loved Isla Linton? Just because of your past?
Honestly, saying that is really not fair.
Ivy did nothing wrong, in your marriage, you forced her into being a third party.
She’s right, she is a legal third party.
Turning a perfectly good young girl into a third party, how can anyone be happy?
What’s more, Ivy is actually not too bad, she asked you such a question and even told you the outcome of both answers.
If I were you, to maintain this marriage, I would tell her that I care about the child who hasn’t been born yet.
Even if you have to deceive her a little, at least make her feel a bit better."
"I don’t want deception in my marriage."
Hearing Henry Sullivan say this, Owen Lennon nodded helplessly, "Now I finally understand why Ivy wants to divorce you.
You’re too inflexible, why do you have to be so rigid in your thinking.
I’m not saying you should always deceive her about everything.
Feelings can’t be forced, if you really don’t have feelings for her, the life you live together will become very painful."
Henry Sullivan was extremely frustrated. It was all going so well, how did it end up like this?
He really didn’t know that recently Ivy had these thoughts in her mind.
He never thought that the two of them would have such a quarrel over this issue today.
"As far as I’m concerned, don’t worry too much. Just tell me, do you want to divorce Ivy?"
"Isn’t that obvious? If I wanted to divorce her, I wouldn’t be here talking to you."
Owen Lennon raised an eyebrow, "That’s good then, let me analyze it for you. Here’s a question for you.
Have you ever thought about why Ivy, after being married for so long, suddenly wants to divorce you now?"
Henry Sullivan thought for a moment, "It should be... she never felt secure."
"Wrong, because she didn’t care before, but now she does.
What does she care about? Think carefully."
Henry Sullivan looked at Owen Lennon, his eyes turning bright from their initial gloom, "Is it me? Is it this family."
"It’s you, yes, it’s you. So why does she care?
No need to answer, I’ll tell you on behalf of Ivy, because her mindset has changed.
She went from finding you pleasing to like, and she fell in love with you, it’s that simple."
