She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 351:

The room fell into an uneasy silence until Ethel, driven by a sudden impulse, queried, “Do you genuinely wish to reconcile with my sister?” Hugh’s brow furrowed in confusion at her line of questioning. What on earth was she up to?

Kristian hadn’t anticipated any support from Ethel. “Yes,” he responded simply.

“Very well, then,” Ethel countered sharply. “Hand over all your shares in the Shaw Group and your entire fortune to my sister.”

She then added with a fierce glare, “And while you’re at it, try to piece together a shattered mirror or gather up water that’s been spilled. If you can manage those feats, then perhaps I’ll consider letting you chase after her.”

Kristian’s mouth fell open slightly as he countered, “Why does everything have to be about putting things back the way they were?”

“Aren’t you trying to remarry my sister?” Ethel fired back, her brows knitting in confusion.

“Yes, I am,” Kristian replied, striving for clarity. “But when I say I want to marry her again, I’m not talking about picking up where we left off. We’re not dredging up our old life together; we’re setting the stage for something entirely new. We can’t relive the past. That part of our lives is gone. But the future… we can build something new from it.”
