CHAPTER 819: CHAPTER 508: SO LEAVING WAS BECAUSE..._2

Isla looked at her seriously: "Ivy, what I’m saying, I mean it.

For the sake of your family, you should also choose to remain silent, don’t you think?"

"But your situation now is all because of Uncle, both sentimentally and logically, Uncle should take responsibility."

"He can’t bear this responsibility, and I don’t need him to.

All I want now is to spend the latter part of my life quietly alone.

Henry Sullivan and James Yinley, these two names, I will slowly forget.

In the future, I will walk well alone, without needing anyone beside me."

Isla helplessly said: "I know what you’re thinking, but don’t think about it, really.

Ivy, everyone has to pay the price for what they’ve done.

But don’t you think that over the years Henry has already repaid what he owed me?

Besides, back then, it was me who didn’t protect that child well.

The child wasn’t saved; it’s all my fault. It has nothing to do with Henry, who wasn’t by my side then.

The issue with the child, I have never held any grudge against him.

The one I hate... is your heartless mother-in-law.

Even now, when I think of those times, I’m filled with rage.

But I also know very well, things have passed so many years, even if I hate others, it can’t change this fact.

The biggest problem in front of me now is James.

No matter what you say, or what James says, I can’t get over this matter.

So... I won’t change my own decision.

Ivy, don’t say anything either, just think of it as making a concession for your newly acquainted sister, okay?"

Ivy pressed her lips: "This way, I feel like I’m letting you down."

"You haven’t let me down, really, this is something from the past, it has nothing to do with you.

Henry is a stubborn man. You don’t want him to live with you in the latter part of life, always living with guilt towards another woman, right?"

Ivy nodded: "Yes, I don’t want that, I want him to fall in love with me, to live the rest of his life with his heart solely on me."

"Rest assured, as long as you don’t mention this matter, he will do as you wish.

Henry is a man of deep affection, just a bit slow to warm up; as long as you put in the effort, he will eventually reciprocate.

Trust me, in the future... you will be very, very happy."

Ivy bit her lip and looked at her, still feeling awkward inside, but she nodded: "Okay, I won’t say anything.

But right now, James is outside, he wants to see you, what should we do?"

"I..."

"See him, you have to tell him why you’re leaving, he’s really going crazy," Ivy interrupted her.

Isla bit her lip and shook her head: "I would only end up saying those harsh words.

In front of him, I can’t lie, I fear my acting will deceive myself.

I... I really have feelings for him, you understand?

If I use words of not loving him to hurt him, I would also feel heartache.

Rather than this, it’s better to let time calm everything down.

Ivy, help me convey a message to him."

Ivy exhaled: "What message?"

"I... I’m not worth him waiting any longer, he should have already seen the divorce papers, tell him to sign."

Ivy furrowed her brow tightly, Isla smiled: "Henry has been waiting for you for quite a while, shouldn’t you also go back with him."

Ivy nodded: "Yes."

"Go back, don’t come again in the future."

"Then can you promise me not to run away alone again."

Isla smiled: "Yes."

"Can I still come to see you in the future?"

"Yes, quickly go back, isn’t there a child at home waiting for your care?

Being a mother is a happy thing, don’t let the baby wait too long."

"Okay, Sister Isla, then I’ll go first," Ivy looked at her for a moment before turning to leave.

Ivy felt that Isla was probably the gentlest woman she had ever met in this life.

Irrespective of appearance, just the pitiful air she had standing there had already won.

She returned to Henry’s side and pressed her lips at him.

Henry intently looked at her and ruffled her hair: "Good girl, no fighting."

"I’m not a combatant, you’re underestimating me."

Henry laughed.

Ivy had a heavy look on her face: "Besides, facing such a good person, even if I wanted to fight, I couldn’t lift my hand."

"It seems you guys had a good chat."

Ivy quickly glanced at him: "Not bad, Cynthia is still waiting for us at home, let’s hurry back."

Having said that, she took his hand and walked out, the two said goodbye to the eldest of Forrest Family in the front yard before leaving the old Rest Family house.

As soon as they exited the gate, the door of a Bentley car diagonally opposite opened, and James Yinley hurriedly got out of the car with an anxious face: "How was it, did you see her, what did you talk about?"

Henry nodded: "We met, and I said everything you asked me to.

It’s just... I didn’t ask her why she insisted on leaving you."

"That’s okay, I can ask her myself, as long as I find her, everything else can be worked out.

When you saw her, how did she look, did she seem well? Physically, was she okay? Did she lose weight, did she..."

"Mr. Yinley," Ivy interrupted him: "Uncle hasn’t seen Sister Isla for so long, how would he know if she lost weight."

Ivy felt that James really loved Isla deeply, one could tell just by the concerns he had.

When a man cares whether you’re eating well or keeping warm, what does that signify?

It’s love, and deep, sincere love.

"She seemed to be in okay physical health, but her spirits were not good, lacking vitality," Henry said: "She seemed somewhat dispirited."

"Dispirited? Was it just you who saw her? Did she mention me?" James eagerly asked, all his attention was now on Isla, he wanted to know, after so long, if she even thought of him a little.

"I saw her too, Uncle and Sister Isla just cleared up some past matters, and then it was just Isla and I talking alone for a long time."

"What did you talk about?" James looked at her intensely.

Thinking of the secrets she was hiding, Ivy felt a pang of guilt, she really wasn’t good at lying.
