Chapter 113: Divorce? No! You are mine!

Something had changed and he looked at Helena’s face and was stunned.

Her eyes had completely changed from her usual self.

She was no longer the bright and bubbly Helena.

She looked like a completely different person.

’No.’ Vernon slowly realized that she wasn’t not Helena. But she wasn’t the present Helena. She looked like the Helena he used to know in his previous life.

"Helena? What’s wrong?" He stuttered, not knowing what had happened.

Helena suddenly grabbed Vernon’s chin and lowered his head. Their foreheads almost touched, and their eyes were just an inch away from each other.

"How dare you? How dare you bring up the topic of divorce again? Didn’t I already tell you? I am never giving you a divorce. Not now nor in the future. Just forget about the divorce.

"Remember carefully. YOU ARE MINE. No one can take you away from me. Do you understand?"

Vernon’s breath hitched in his throat. He subconsciously nodded in fear. He did not dare to take the risk to delay agreeing to her words.

Helena slowly released her grip from his chin. But her eyes never left his eyes.

She looked at him, deep into his eyes.

Vernon was very familiar with this gaze.

This was the Helena from his previous life.

But what is happening? Why did the present Helena talk like the ’future’ Helena?

Her eyes were no longer bright and innocent. They instead looked cold and soulless.

It was like she wanted to suck him into her world, so that he couldn’t escape from her grasp.

He did not understand why she had such deep emotions when she looked at him. It wasn’t just love between a couple. It was something beyond that. Way beyond.

But what is it?

"Helena?" He slowly placed his hand over her shoulder.

Helena did not reply. She just looked into his eyes coldly and repeated. "You are mine. No divorce. Ever."

"Okay. Okay." Vernon nodded, trying to calm her down. They weren’t in their home. They were in the middle of a banquet. They can’t talk about something deep at present.

"Helena? Is everything okay? Are you two fighting?" Merlin called out of the blue and placed his hand over her shoulder in concern.

But as soon as his hand fell on her shoulder, she jolted.

She opened her eyes after blinking them a couple of times. She looked at the very much scared Vernon and the equally concerned Merlin looking at her.

"What happened? Brother Merlin? Where have you been? We were searching for you for so long and couldn’t find you at all." Helena said in her usual chirpy voice.

Vernon understood. This is the present Helena.

He sighed in relief but he did not forget to take a step away from Helena. His heart was still racing in fear, alright?

"I am here all the time. Why are you searching for me? Anyway, are you alright?" Merlin asked her after answering her question.

"Yeah. I am alright. What could happen to me? I was just casually looking for you. No particular reason. Yes, no reason at all. Right, Vernon?" She looked at him and lightly blinked her eyes, indicating him to go along with her words.

"..." Vernon was speechless. Her act was a bit too over the top, right?

"Yes. We just did not see you for so long and wondered if you were satisfied with the party today. We just wanted to check on you, Brother Merlin," Vernon went along with her anyway and said words to salvage her stupid acting.

She was really good at acting when she was in front of Faye, her parents and Grace earlier, right? Where did all her talent vanish, when she had to face Merlin?

He very badly wanted to open her brain and check what was going on in there.

Merlin observed the actions between the couple but did not delve into them. He just smiled and nodded, "Of course I like the party. What couldn’t be liked at such a grand party? But I am not used to being around so many people. So, I just went to a place with fewer people to rest. I am sorry for worrying you both."

The couple shook their heads immediately, saying there was no need to apologize.

As they were talking, someone called for Helena and she excused herself.

As soon as she was out of sight, Vernon sighed in relief.

"What happened?" Merlin saw his reaction and asked with concern.

Vernon shook his head, "She suddenly behaved like she was possessed. I was scared to death."

He even used his hand to wipe the sweat off his neck.

Merlin thought he was just exaggerating things and did not think much about it. He felt that the young couple were a bit too playful and was amused. He just casually chuckled and nodded.

Vernon, on the other hand, took a deep breath to calm his heart. He then looked at Merlin and smiled, "Thank you, Brother Merlin. You really came at the right time and rescued me. If not for you, I don’t know how I would have survived this night."

In fact, he was really exaggerating a bit. Yes, he was scared when he faced Helena earlier but not to the extent to the way he was describing.

Merlin blinked his eyes and tilted his head to the side in confusion.

Before he could ask Vernon why he was being too dramatic, he saw Vernon open his arms wide and crashed into him.

Just like that, Vernon hugged him and wheedled like a little kid. "Brother Merlin~ Thank you very much~"

Merlin froze in his spot.

No one had ever hugged him like that before. He never even hugged a small kid before, let alone a grown up man like Vernon.

He did not know how to react to this sudden ’act of affection’. Should he hug him back? But wouldn’t hugging a grown man look weird?

Should he push him away?
