Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart
Chappter 786 Compromised

After Jean walked into the ward, Harold snorted at her and looked away. Obviously, he was still mad at Jean.

Jean walked to his bedside and tears fell down her eyes. With sobs, she said, "Dad, I'm sorry."

Harold was startled when he saw Jean crying. His daughter had always been indifferent and tough. He had seldom seen her cry since she was a child. Of course, he would be surprised. "Why... Why are you crying?" Harold frowned and asked.

Hearing his words, Jean felt sadder. "It's all my fault, I got you into the hospital."

Seeing his daughter crying standing beside his bed, Harold felt terrible.

Now that he thought about it, Arthur was a good guy. In fact, he was an outstanding young man,

Just as Arthur said, he didn't agree with them being together because he was being a stubborn old man. He had been mad because Jean didn't end up with Mario, the husband he chose for her. He couldn't replace anything bad about Arthur.

"Okay now. Stop crying. I should be the one crying right now, my daughter got married without telling me," Harold said and then looked away,

"I have made up my mind. If you really don't like Arthur, I will divorce him tomorrow," Jean wiped her tears and said with determination.

Harold was so shocked that he almost jumped up from the bed. He would have yelled at Jean again if it wasn't for his bad health. "What did you say? You want to divorce him?"

She had just gotten married today, how could she get a divorce tomorrow? Was she trying to piss him off?

"Yes," Jean said with red eyes and determination, "There are billions of men in the world, but I only have one dad."

Harold rubbed his temples and replied, "Get out of here. I'm telling you, if you get divorced, you will no longer be my daughter!"

Not even Harold himself had expected that he would say this when he heard Jean say that she was going to divorce Arthur. After all, he was the one who was so mad at Jean for getting married.

He didn't know what went wrong, but he suddenly became the one who was afraid Jean might get a divorce.

Jean shook her head and said, "I can't piss my dad off because of a man. I was stupid, and now I have thought straight. You are more important than any man."

Hearing this, Harold felt like crying. Pointing at Jean's nose, he yelled, "Jean! You had been to a top university! I don't know what you are thinking. You just got married today and you are going to get a divorce tomorrow? It's embarrassing!"

"But if I keep being married to him, you will be unhappy. How can I feel happy if you are constantly mad?" Jean reasoned with him, "So I might as well get a divorce, everyone will feel happy." "Then why did you get married? If you cared about me so much, you wouldn't even get married to him!" Harold complained.

Jean lowered her head and said with remorse, "I was too impulsive, and now I have regretted it. Dad, everyone makes mistakes, just forgive me this time. I promise I will listen to everything you say after the divorce. I will marry whoever you want me to."

Seeing that she looked determined to get a divorce, Harold felt anxious. He knew his daughter well, once she set her mind on something, no one could change it. If he didn't say anything to stop her, she would really get a divorce tomorrow.

"I am not unhappy. To be honest, Arthur is a good guy, I just need some time to take him in," Harold finally said.

"Stop mentioning the word 'divorce' to me. I don't like that word!" After saying that, he waved his hand at Jean. "Leave the room now. I don't want to see you anymore."

"But, Dad..." Before Jean could finish her words, Harold cut in and said in an exhausted tone, "I wish you happiness. Is that enough? Can you not divorce him now?" Jean was stunned for a moment before she replied, "Since you are willing to take him in, I will try and make this marriage work."

She smiled and said, "I'm leaving now, Dad

Harold waved his hand, "Just go."

Jean turned around and left the room. Although she looked calm on the surface, she was thrilled deep inside.

Just now, she was betting against herself. She assumed that if she said she would do things as Harold wanted her to, he wouldn't insist on it anymore.

In particular, she mentioned divorce, because she knew how much Harold valued others' opinions of him. If she got divorced right after she got married, he would be pissed. Seeing her walk out, Arthur walked up to her with a worried look on his face.

"Did you cry? Did your father yell at you again?" Arthur felt sorry for Jean when he saw her red eyes. He thought he shouldn't have let her talk to Harold alone.

Jean smiled, "He has decided to take you in."

"Really?" Arthur was surprised.

Then, Jean told him what they had just talked about. After hearing it, Arthur couldn't help smiling, "This is a critical moment and we have won."

"Yeah, he has compromised. We can finally be relieved now." Jean had been worried for a long time, and now she could finally relax.

However, as soon as she looked up at Arthur, she saw him frowning.

Jean asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Arthur hesitated for a while before he asked, "Would you divorce me if he didn't agree to take me in?"

The word "divorce" was a harsh word for him, someone who had just gotten married for hours.

Jean explained in a resigned tone, "It was just a trick I used. Don't take it seriously."

Arthur pouted and said, "I don't like the word, don't mention it to me again."

"Okay. I will never mention it again," Jean agreed.

They had gone through a lot to this day, she cherished it.

Arthur held her tightly in his arms and murmured to her ear, "We have gone through so much to be together. I never want to leave you again."

He smiled and said, "Jean, I love you. I love you more than I can tell."

They hugged for a while in the corridor before Arthur let go of Jean and told her to go home.

When Arthur returned to the ward, Harold was just starting to feel better. As soon as he saw Arthur here, he felt a headache again.

"What are you doing here? I thought you have left," Jean said in an unfriendly tone.

"I didn't leave. I was talking to Jean just now." As Arthur said, he grabbed the chair and sat down on it beside Harold's bed. "It's time for you to rest now, Mr. Hilgard."

How could Harold fall asleep? He stared at Arthur and said, "Tonight's your first night as husband and wife, are you going to spend it with me?" Hearing this, Arthur was amused. "I'm fine here."

It seemed that Harold had really decided to take him in. He was even worried about his first night as Jean's husband now.

"You are fine here?" Harold frowned and wanted to drive him away. "Just leave. I don't need anyone here. I will just call the nurse if I need anything."

Harold felt it awkward to have Arthur here looking after him, after all, he had been giving him attitude the whole time.

Moreover, he really didn't need anyone here. He could still move and walk.
