Chapter 311 Touched

Susan drove herself to the café. As soon as she entered, she saw Henry sitting next to a window.

Just like every date before, Henry would always be the first to arrive. No matter how busy he was, he would go for the date first and then continue with the work later. Susan found it hard to understand why their relationship started to fade away.

She walked over there. Henry stood up to pull out the chair for her just like usual. Seeing that, Susan even felt a bit more upset.

Henry smiled bitterly. The two of them sat down face to face.

"I have ordered a cup of cappuccino with extra milk and sugar for you. That's your favorite." Henry took the initiative to break the ice.

Susan nodded and said frankly, "Henry, I am here to talk about what happened last night."

"I know." Henry nodded, "Just keep going."

"Was that you who took me out of the nightclub last night?"

"Yes."

"Why weren't you with me in the hotel when Hannah came to me?"

"I left on my own." Answered Henry.

Tears started to fill up her eyes. She didn't understand why he left. If he had stayed, she would have given her virginity to him as she wished. However, it turned out that Manuel took it away.

"I found that I couldn't bear to hurt you. I know you needed me last night. But I couldn't. I was afraid you would regret after you woke up." Henry seemed a bit upset.

"Have you ever wondered I would also regret after sleeping with another guy?"

"Susan, you have married. It means to hurt you if I were to sleep with you. If that happened, you would be accused of cheating on your husband. I can't bear to let you take the blame."

"Compared with the accusation, do you think I would feel better after I had my virginity taken away by a man I didn't love?"

"You slept with another guy last night?" asked Henry, with a kind of bad feeling inside his mind.

Susan nodded. She had sex with Manuel, for hours. It was she who took the initiative. Thinking of it, tears streamed down her cheek.

"I thought you would do it yourself if I left you alone in the hotel..." Henry seemed too upset to continue.

"I couldn't stay with you. I was afraid I would lose control. But I didn't send you back home. Nor did I want you to sleep with any other guy. Just blame me for being selfish. In my eyes, you have been the purest even after you married. I don't wanna know you already have slept with another guy. Yes, I am being selfish. I know I can't sleep with you but I still have that desire to do so." He looked like he was at the edge of breakdown.

Before what happened last night, she considered herself pure. But now she couldn't

"Henry, to be honest, this is my first time to hate you for being a coward! Even if you had been a little braver, you would have been the one staying by my side right now. It would have been both of us to face Manuel altogether! However, it turns out that I am facing you all alone at this moment." Susan finally let out her grievance.

Silent, Henry waited to take the blame. However, Susan had no idea what to continue. Since she had figured out what was on his mind just as Hannah suggested-it was all because of his cowardice, now she gotta leave.

Susan stood up and was about to leave. But Henry suddenly grabbed her arm to stop her, "Wait."

Susan paused.

"I will be waiting for you." Henry suddenly said.

Touched, she could hardly believe what she just heard of.

Ever since Henry sat by when she married Manuel, plus he walked away last night while she was burning with desire, she thought her relationship with Henry was over, especially after the sex between her and Manuel happened. She thought it was a clean cut with Henry.

Actually, she asked for this talk not to figure out what happened last night. Instead, she was here to inform Henry that the story between them had ended ever since last night.

However, what Henry just said went beyond her very expectations.

"I don't care about what happened between you and Manuel. Nor do I care about your marriage. I am willing to wait till the end of my life."

Susan burst into heavier tears. She found it impossible to turn him down while he was compromising. She turned around and threw herself into his arms. After what happened last night, she was hungry for a warm hug and someone to rely on. She buried herself into his arms. They clung to each other just like lovers faithful to each other.

Not until minutes later did Henry let go of her. They looked into each other's eyes.

Henry said gently, "Don't cry. You are making me heartbroken."

"You'll wait for me, but why don't you stand by my side and fight with me?"

"Because I am not powerful enough. There are a lot of things I am incapable of. The only thing I can do is to wait for you."

"Henry,"

"I don't feel sorry for myself. After all, I don't think I will fall in love with any other ladies for the rest of my life but you only. You don't need to feel sorry for me. I made my own choice. Even if you may fall in love with Manuel in the end, I won't regret for my choice."

Susan was too affected to utter. She totally fell for him at this moment. She swore she would return to Henry one day in the future.

Inside the office, Hannah made a call to Manuel after some consideration.

Noticing it was Hannah calling, Manuel picked it up, "Hey, Hannah."

"Did Susan leave?"

"Yes." He nodded.

"She went to talk to Henry." Hannah said frankly.

"I know."

He knew it at the very moment when Susan walked out of the door. After the shocking thing happened to her last night, she needed someone to rely on.

"Actually, I have investigated what happened last night. It wasn't Henry's idea to philter Susan. It was one of her friends at the nightclub." Hannah didn't tell Susan about it. She believed it was more suitable to talk about it with Manuel.

"I knew it wasn't Henry. He wouldn't philter himself if it were him."

"Why?" Hannah was a bit surprised.
