The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge novel Chapter 742

Her wedding had been a grand affair, known to all. She’d thought it was just a formality, but now the situation had spiraled out of her control. It was no longer just about her and Hawthorne; it was about the honor of the entire Langford family.

Gwyneth was so lost in thought that she didn't even notice when Hawthorne took her hand. “What are you thinking about? You look pale.”

He watched her expressions constantly. The elders' proposal had played right into his hands. Though he had known Gwyneth for less than half a year, he understood her stubborn nature perfectly. Once she made up her mind, nothing could change it. The Langford elders had unintentionally done him a huge favor. Otherwise, after the Greenvale ceremony at the end of the year, a trip to city hall for a divorce would have been inevitable. The only thing that worried Hawthorne now was her womb—he’d been putting in the effort, but he had no idea when it would bear fruit.

Gwyneth remained in a daze. She followed Hawthorne into the car and only snapped back to reality when they pulled up to her family's home.

“Gwyn, are you sure you don’t want to come back to Greenvale with me?” He hoped she would, wanting her under his watch where he could feel at ease.

Gwyneth, her face ashen, shook her head. “I just got back. I want to spend some time with my parents. You can go back by yourself.” She couldn't bear the thought of being in Greenvale, a place that reminded her so much of him.

Hawthorne’s expression darkened slightly, but he considered that it might be a wise move for her to stay. The business he had to attend to wasn't exactly above board, and if she came along, it would likely lead to even more misunderstandings.

“Alright. I’ll come get you after I’m done.”
