Marry My Ex's Sworn Enemy

Chapter 51: He Bought Her the Old House

Menu

Sonya froze. This was her parents' old house; the pomegranate tree was in the yard. But hadn't Julian Jennings said he was demolishing it today?

Henry placed a key in her hand."Won't you invite me in?"

Sonya stared at the key, her thoughts racing. "How... how do you have the key? It was with Julian Jennings. He said he was tearing the house down..." Then it hit her. "You... you bought this house from him?" Henry smiled. "That's right. I bought it."

Sonya was incredulous. "But why would he sell it to you?"

He was using the house to punish her; why would he sell it to Henry?

"Simple. To secure the partnership between Jennings Corporation and Reynolds, he had to transfer the house to me."

Sonya blinked. He'd used the business deal to get her house back.

Henry put his hands in his pockets, looking at the old house."Shall we move in here?" Sonya's emotions surged. She'd thought she'd made an irreversible mistake, but Henry had fixed it.

It was like a bleeding wound she couldn't heal, and Henry had quickly stopped the bleeding, let it scab over, and disappear without a trace.

Speechless, she hugged Henry tightly.

He'd said, "Shall we move in here?" Julian Jennings had said, "This dump? Livable?"

"I bet there's treasure inside," Henry murmured, holding her.

Sonya kissed his chin."You'll be disappointed. It's empty."

"There is," he teased.

Sonya smiled. "I hope you find it."

She unlocked the door and pulled Henry into the courtyard.

Overgrown weeds covered the yard; moss clung to the walls; many pomegranates on the tree had burst open, their seeds devoured by sparrows.

The front door was rusty; the key wouldn't turn. Henry used a screwdriver to break the lock. Dust filled the air as they entered. The house was desolate.

When it was sold, the house had been full of furniture, but the buyer planned to renovate and removed everything. The previous owners had moved abroad and never renovated. It was a shame.

The house was an old-style building from the 80s and 90s, a large open space with bedrooms on either side, a staircase leading to the upper floor, and a kitchen underneath. The wooden doors and windows were weathered and rotten.
