Chapter 64: The Talk? Yes! 1

"Family?" Vernon frowned. This was the first time he had ever heard someone say such a thing.

How could anyone feel that some stranger is a family member? If it was after communicating for a long time, then he could understand.

For example, his family members treat Helena as their own child after looking at her all her life. Even if they did not get married, they would still treat her as their own family member, and he was sure of that.

But how could Helena feel that some random stranger gave her the feeling of that family just like that?

"It’s weird, right? I thought so, too. But what could I do? I got that feeling from him," Helena was actually as confused as Vernon as well.

Vernon’s lips twitched, but he nodded.

But her words only made his heart tighten.

Helena felt closer to that man but what if she finds that man will die in a week?

Should he tell her something about this matter? But what should he tell her?

He sighed and started to eat once again.

After using his brain cells for a while, he felt hungry.

Once they were done eating, the air shifted between them all of a sudden.

Because both of them know that it is time for them to talk about serious matters.

They knew that they had no choice but to have this conversation, but neither of them knew how to broach the topic.

"So..."

"So..."

They both opened their lips to speak at the same moment.

"You speak first."

"No, you go first."

Helena sighed and cleared her throat. "Fine, I will go first."

Vernon nodded.

"Why didn’t you want to marry me?" This was the first time she asked him this question directly to his face.

Vernon pursed his lips. He knew he had no choice but to reply. He took a few seconds before answering, "I think I won’t be a good husband to you. I think you will be better off without me."

Helena pursed her lips and nodded.

But her inner voice said something else. [What nonsense is he talking about?]

She looked at him again and asked, "That’s all? There is no more?" She was actually waiting for him to continue giving her the reasons. But he stopped and did not speak for a while, and that was when she realized that he was done.

Vernon felt embarrassed. With his face flushed, he nodded, "That’s all."

Helena blinked her eyes, "Then why didn’t you think of that before the wedding? If you had told me that that was how you were feeling, we could have stopped the wedding, right? Why do you have to humiliate me like that?"

Vernon once again felt embarrassed when he heard that question.

At that time, he was just reborn. The Helena he had in his mind was the Helena in his previous life.

He hated the Helena from his previous life and so he wanted to humiliate her while stopping the wedding.

But after a few days passed by, he slowly realized that the Helena in his previous life and the Helena in his present life were completely two different people.

He was punishing the Helena in his present life for the crimes the Helena in his previous life had committed.

Only after being with her for the past few days did he slowly realize that the Helena in front of him right now had done nothing wrong yet.

If he wanted to avoid future problems, he had to leave her. But he doesn’t have to humiliate her or hurt her to achieve his goals.

Maybe that was why he stopped all his actions once he was done with the wedding ’stunt’. He did not do anything more after that.

But the guilt in his heart kept on growing, eating him away slowly day by day.

"We are here to talk, remember? You can’t keep quiet today." Helena said when he did not speak for a long time. She sounded serious.

She doesn’t want to delay dealing with this topic anymore.

Until now, she was busy dealing with her mother’s topic.

Firstly, she had to make arrangements for her ashes without letting her father know the exact location.

Secondly, she had to know what her mother had been trying to find by searching through the hospitals.

Now that she was done dealing with both the matters, she finally got the chance to talk to Vernon calmly.

"I am sorry." Vernon lowered his head and apologized.

"Sorry isn’t going to do anything, Vernon. I want to know the reason. I want the answers." Helena did not let the matter slide just because he lowered his head.

Vernon sighed. "Actually, I had the thought of stopping this wedding when I was on my way to the wedding hall. At that time, I did not have the time or chance to speak to you.

"Since I want to stop the wedding, I thought it would be a good idea to make me look like the bad guy in front of everyone. That way you can leave this wedding without any bad name. That was why I arranged it like that.

"But I did not expect you to continue with the wedding. I did not expect your father to..."

Only the day before did he find the reason why Helena had agreed to marry him that day.

It was because she was blackmailed by her father using her mother’s ashes.

If Father Ford did not intervene, he was sure that Helena would definitely break the wedding that day in front of everyone, and he wouldn’t have to worry about the future of their family’s business anymore.

But now? Father Ford had to intervene. He broke Helena’s heart on one side, and he had to worry about how to divorce Helena without hurting anyone in both families.

Vernon felt like he would go bald if this continued, with how much he had been straining his brain cells these few days.
