Take Back All She Lost novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196

Josephine turned over, ready to go to sleep.

Questions like ‘what if‘, ‘suppose‘, or ‘for example‘–these kinds of hypothetical questions are nothing but personal speculation and bias.

It’s fine to think about them when you’re really bored, but don’t start overthinking and exhausting yourself before the other person has even shown any sign of interest.

Patricia clung to Josephine’s arm, pestering her and refusing to let her sleep, her voice sweet and coquettish:

“Just tell me, I want to know–what if Dr. Maynard really fell in love with you?”

Josephine stifled a yawn after another, her voice low and drawn out.

“Then he should control himself. Nothing good ever happens to those who fall for me.”

It wasn’t until late at night that Wilfred finally came home, reeking of alcohol.

As soon as he walked in, he saw Helena still awake, sitting curled up in a corner of the sofa, watching TV as she waited for him.

The night was gentle, her frail body pressed into the corner of the sofa, tears streaming down her face as she watched the show, looking heartbreakingly pitiful.

“Fred, you’re back.”

Helena shuffled over in her slippers, catching a strong whiff of alcohol.

Her eyes narrowed slightly… The opportunity had come.

“Fred, you’ve been drinking? Are you feeling unwell? Sit down first, I’ll hangover soup.”

Wilfred reached out and grabbed Helena’s wrist, making her sit beside him.

“I have something to tell you.”

Helena pretended to be clueless, though she knew exactly what was going on, her expression blank

“Fred, what… does this mean?”

Wilfred didn’t look at Helena.

“I’ve already looked into these two men. They’re both good. Meet with them in the next couple of days and then tell me which one you feel more compatible with.”

Helena’s reddened eyes instantly turned misty as she looked at Wilfred and said, “Fred, you want me to get married?”

Wilfred paused. “Yes.”

Helena ‘panicked‘, shouting, “I don’t want to get married! I just like Fred, I like Rose Manor, I like Belinda!”

She tried to stand up again, wanting to run back to her room.

Wilfred reached out and pulled her back onto the sofa once more.

Helena kept struggling.

Seeing her in pain, Wilfred’s heart softened a little, but no matter how unwilling Helena was, he still held onto her and didn’t let go.

“Can you stop making a scene?”

Tears still streaked Helena’s face, making her look all the more pitiful.

“I know I come from a humble background. I never asked you to marry me, but please don’t make me marry another man, okay?”

Helena weakly clutched Wilfred’s sleeve.

Wilfred pressed his fingers to his forehead in frustration.

He had already made up his mind; he would not keep Helena by his side any longer.

No matter how harsh, some things had to be said.

“Lena, you and the plumber schemed to get Josephine to shower at Zachery’s home, and at the press conference you tried to make Josephine a laughingstock. Wasn’t it all because you became

Helena was stunned for a moment, then hurried to defend herself
