Chapter 006 Barret’s Beautiful Lie

“What did you say?”

Jenny couldn’t believe it and she was shuddering uncontrollably.

She suddenly felt extremely cold.

A chill was eating its way from the soles of her feet to her limbs and she couldn’t help shivering.

Back then, Grandpa asked her, “If Barret wants to be with you and marry you, Jenny, will you agree?”

“Grandpa, is he doing it of his own free will?”

She asked the question because she had known that he loved Laura then.

She told herself that if he was forced into it by Grandpa, she would never agree to it anyway, because she didn’t want to tie him down with a marriage.

More than that, she didn’t want to get him in that way.

“Silly girl, Barret is so stubborn. If he isn’t, can Grandpa force him to do it?”

Later, she asked Barret the same question.

She asked him, “Are you marrying me of your own free will? I know that Grandpa cares for me and I don’t want you to marry me because Grandpa ordered you to. What’s more, I don’t want to make things difficult for you.”

What did Barret say to her?

He said, “Yes, I am. Laura and I have broken up. Let’s make a deal. I’ll try to fall in love with you in three years, and if I can’t, we’ll divorce peacefully. Do you agree?”

“Yes, I do!” She had a big smile on her face then.

Barret even asked her, “Why did you agree to marry me? Don’t you have someone you love? Are you willing to be tied down by marriage? Don’t you want to pursue your love?”

She said, “Yes, I have. It’s been eight years.”

And then she shook her head. “I won’t pursue it anymore.”

She had married the man she loved and made a big leap in life by going straight from love to marriage.

But now Laura was telling her that it was all a lie.
