The Divorcee Amazed the World

Helena’s heart seemed to collapse.

Willis came all the way, overcoming hardships.

All because he couldn’t rest assured about her, he specifically rushed over to take a look.

The lingering grievances from being suspected by him were instantly reduced by more than half.

She leaned into his arms and whispered, “When that man touched me and tore my clothes, I was almost disgusted to death. I only had one thought in my mind-if he dared to insult me, I would kill him and then commit suicide.”

Willis’s heart suddenly felt empty.

Immediately after, it fiercely ached.

It felt like being bitten by a fierce beast with sharp teeth, and the pain left him breathless for a while.

He tightly held her waist, pressed her into his embrace, and scolded, “Fool, don’t say such silly things.”

Having relied on each other for three years, he couldn’t stand hearing such words.

Helena fell silent for a moment and said, “Luckily, Ja…”

Mid-sentence, she suddenly stopped.

Originally, she wanted to say fortunately Jay arrived in time.

But thinking that Willis didn’t like her getting too close to Jay, she swallowed the rest of her words.

She changed her words, “Luckily, you came; otherwise, I wouldn’t dare to sleep tonight.”

Willis had actually guessed what she wanted to say in the second half of the sentence, and his eyes changed, becoming gloomy.

Hearing her change the words, the suppressed anger in his eyes dissipated.

He gently caressed her back and said, “I brought two more bodyguards with me this time; they’ll stay. Don’t worry about people saying you’re being ostentatious. They are a group of rough guys; you’ll be safe wherever you go. You’re so good-looking, and it’s easy for people to have bad intentions.”

This time, Helena didn’t argue anymore.

If she had known, she should have listened to Willis.

Bringing a few more bodyguards would prevent anything from happening.

Because she had been scared at night and slept deeply afterward, she started having nightmares again.

She dreamed of the fire thirteen years ago.

The flames were raging, the wind was biting, and thick smoke filled the air.

A fair and slender young man risked his life to push her out of the fire, but he perished in the inferno.

Tears streamed down her face as she reached out with extended arms, crying and shouting “Jay,” wanting to pull him out of the fire, but she couldn’t move him no matter how hard she tried…

Willis watched the woman in her nightmare, tears in her eyes, and muttering “Jay” in her dreams.

He frowned slightly, pulled her into his arms, and gently comforted her.

He thought, let her call.

He endured it.

As long as she didn’t recognize that Jay Santana was Jay Smith, it was fine.

As long as she didn’t leave, he would accept whatever she called out in her dreams.

The next morning, Helena woke up.

She saw Willis coming out of the bathroom.

He was well-dressed, looking like he was about to leave.

Looking at the man’s handsome and elegant face, Helena suddenly felt reluctant to let him go.

She put on her clothes, got out of bed, approached him, and silently hugged his waist, burying her head in his chest.

Although she didn’t say anything, her actions betrayed her inner reluctance.

Willis smiled and rubbed her head. “I told you not to come, but you insisted. Now, do you understand how I felt?”

Helena made a soft sound.

“Hurry up and finish your work and go back. Next time, if you can delegate the work, delegate it. Try not to leave Kyoto. It’s inconvenient for me to come and see you so far away.”

Even though she was clinging to him and reluctant to let him go, Helena intentionally played hard to get and complained, “Mr. Santana, you’re so clingy.”

Willis raised his eyebrows with a faint smile.

He slightly lifted his chin, his face showing an air of indifference, as if it were a matter of course. He said, “I’m clinging to my own wife; it’s perfectly justified.”

Helena felt a sweet sensation in her heart.

For the first time, she realized that the term “wife” could sound so pleasant.

Seemingly ordinary, but full of lingering affection.

It meant sharing joys and sorrows, mutual support, and sharing honor and disgrace.

Willis wanted to leave both bodyguards.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Helena was afraid that something might happen to him on the way, so she insisted on him taking one.

Willis couldn’t resist her, so he took one with him. He planned to call and send the other two bodyguards over on the way.

He believed that the more bodyguards, the safer Helena would be.

When Helena sent Willis downstairs to catch the car, she encountered Shirley.
