Chapter 341: He Seems To Understand
...
"What are you doing?"
When Horton spoke from behind her, Halle was startled. Her hand trembled from exhaustion, and then the pills fell into the washstand.
At the door of the bathroom, Horton stared at her.
His eyes weren’t full of affection or anger. Instead, he looked at her calmly. The gold-rimmed glasses reflected the light, so Halle couldn’t tell how he felt.
Halle pursed her lips and said nervously, "Why do you suddenly come over?" She did not get ready for that and was startled.
He draped in the gray bathrobe casually, revealing his fair chest and abs. Halle then blushed.
"Do you want to take a shower? I’m done. I’m going out now."
Halle was about to rush out of the bathroom, but Horton stood still without any intention of letting her go.
Halle frowned and looked up at his straight face.
"What’s wrong?"
"Why did you do this?"
Horton got closer to her face and tightened his grip on her shoulder. It hurt a little, so Halle frowned.
Halle glanced at her shoulder and found there were faint red marks under his fingers.
"Horton, you hurt me."
"I thought what you said to my father today was true and I thought you have affection for me, but it turns out that I am overthinking this."
Horton ignored her words and did not let go of her.
Halle furrowed her brows and thought how she let him overthink this.
"You said that because of my father, but I thought you are touched by what I have done."
"I mean every word of it. Do you think I’m lying?"
Halle was angry and didn’t know why Horton didn’t believe her. She was indeed touched. Moreover, what she said to Claus in the hospital was sincere although it sounded ridiculous.
She had been divorced once, so Horton should know that she would not easily get married again.
Since they were married, she thought what she said today was enough to prove her feelings.
Horton completely disregarded her words, which proved that he did not believe it, "If you don’t want to, I won’t force you. Therefore, you don’t have to do this."
Horton looked across the washstand with anger.
Halle suddenly felt irritated and said indignantly, "Do you think I’m lying? Okay, let’s get a divorce."
Halle’s gentle voice echoed in the narrow bathroom. After that, she was stunned.
She had been divorced, but she had never thought so since she got married to Horton. However, she did not know why she could say it so easily.
She was just a little angry at his mercurial temperament.
She felt aggrieved at Horton’s words and tone just now.
She only wanted to respond to that, but she was temporarily unthinking and unexpectedly spoke divorce.
Halle immediately regretted it. She looked up and found that Horton was going red in his eyes, so she said anxiously, "I..." don’t want to get a divorce.
She was interrupted and was suddenly put into a warm embrace.
Horton swept her up into his arms. Halle had not yet recovered from the shock when she heard him say with repressed anger.
"I don’t agree if you want to divorce me."
"Horton..." She didn’t want to divorce.
Halle was a little flustered. She didn’t know why she had said those words just now and she had regretted it.
Even if Horton agreed to it, she would not divorce.
It was just that she was a little angry just now. In the past, she would never talk like that even if she was furious. But when she was with Horton, she always was so capricious.
She was sometimes helpless.
"Even if you hate me and don’t want to give birth to a child for me, I won’t divorce. Halle, I won’t divorce."
Horton had worked so hard to get married to her, so he wouldn’t give up so easily.
"I will treat Emily well. Even if you don’t want to have children anymore, Emily is our child and I will love her and regard her as my daughter.
"Halle, believe me. I can do it. Don’t divorce me, okay?" Horton buried his head against her neck and asked plaintively.
When Halle felt something wet in her neck, she was startled.
She understood something from his words and then felt that they were so funny.
They were fine just now and she was also well-prepared tonight.
Everything was fine, but how did things have changed?
"Horton, can you let me go now?"
Halle smiled and was about to break free from his embrace when she was hugged even more tightly.
Horton’s anxious voice reached her ears again, "No, I won’t let go. Halle, it is my fault. I shouldn’t have lost my temper with you. I don’t like things that you don’t like. If you don’t want to, I promise I won’t force you anymore."
Horton thought,
As long as you are willing to stay with me and not leave me.>
"Horton, are you acting shamelessly?"
Halle felt that Horton acted similarly to Emily when Emily pitched to her. No wonder they were father and daughter. Even Halle felt that she had two children.
However, it was much harder to coax Horton.
He didn’t let go of her but hugged her even more tightly, pressed her against the washstand, and kissed her.
Unlike the previous passionate kiss, he seemed to please her.
Halle felt him groping her body over and over again. What was more, he grabbed her waist so hard as if he wanted to drown her in his arms.
Halle was a little overwhelmed by such a clingy Horton. And she also became excited, and then she said in alarm.
"Don’t be like this, Horton."
However, the more she said that the more tightly Horton hugged her.
Halle was confused and thought why he suddenly misunderstood her.
Halle suddenly remembered that it seemed that it was from the moment he saw the pills, so she quickly pressed Horton’s head against her chest and whispered, "Horton, I don’t want to get a divorce. I was talking nonsense.
"It’s not that I didn’t want to have a baby. And I don’t take contraceptive pills. Emily is our child, and she is your biological daughter."
After that, Halle heaved a sigh of relief and thought he could believe it! Horton did not move, and after a long time, his low voice was heard...
...
After Halle told him the true circumstance of Emily’s birth, she felt relieved.
However, she then became even nervous.
Horton did not respond but stiffened. Only after a long time did she faintly hear his low voice.
"Halle, I am about to suffocate."
What?
Halle was stunned and suddenly reacted. She was so nervous just now that she didn’t realize that she directly put Horton’s face on her chest.
Halle was embarrassed and immediately let go of her hands in a panic.
"I...I didn’t mean it."
Halle blushed and whispered with panic and anxiety.
For a moment, she forgot what she was going to say to Horton and subconsciously wanted to leave.
But before she could take a step, Horton embraced her and whispered in her ear, which made Halle very angry.
"I will regard Emily as my daughter and I will appreciate her very much. I promise."
Halle furrowed her brows and emphasized, "Emily is your daughter. She is your biological daughter."
"Well, I will appreciate her so much that she won’t be wronged. Halle, please don’t divorce me, okay?"
Halle was lost for word.
"Horton, do you hear what I said? I said that Emily is our daughter and she is your biological daughter."
Halle rarely lost her temper and had never been so anxious, but she was really angry right now.
Unconsciously, her language was very firm and strong.
Horton was stunned and looked at Halle with a hint of grievance on his face.
Halle suddenly felt despondent and angry.
Wasn’t he usually very smart? Didn’t he get good grades at school? Wasn’t he a medical genius? But why was he so stupid now?
Horton pursed his lips and became a lot more serious, "Halle, are you afraid that I will treat Emily badly in the future?"
He looked so sincere that Halle was a little mad, and he continued, "Even if Emily is not my biological daughter and you don’t want to have a baby in the future, I don’t care. Halle, I promise I will appreciate her."
Halle took a deep breath, and then she resisted the urge to smash his face, turned around, and took out a medicine box from the drawer of the washstand.
"You are a doctor, so you should recognize this."
She was afraid that Horton would be embarrassed, so she poured the folic acid into the vitamin bottle.
Horton had always respected her, so he never snooped through her stuff.
However, Halle really hoped Horton not to be so polite and to go through her stuff at any time.
Looking at the bottle in Halle’s hand, Horton was a little confused, "Do you have to take the vitamins in the bathroom?"
Halle took a deep breath and tried not to roll her eyes. And then she grabbed Horton’s hand and spread his palm, pouring out the pills.
Halle said angrily, "Do you need to take it before you recognize it?"
Horton picked it up and carefully looked at it for a while before looking at her and asking uncertainly, "Folic acid?"
Halle thought, "Fortunately, no matter how stupid he is, he can still recognize it." The human brain could indeed provide the most real reaction.
Noticing that Halle did not refute his words, Horton was stunned and muttered in a somewhat absent-minded manner, "Why are you taking this?"
Halle was annoyed and said, "Horton, are you stupid?"
How could he be so stupid? What else she needed to say would he understand?
Halle pushed Horton away and walked out of the bathroom.
Horton looked at her back and still frowned.
"You are taking folic acid, but why do you take folic acid? Do..."
Horton was stunned, and then he looked down in disbelief at the white pill in his palm and suddenly giggled.
"I know why you are taking folic acid."
In the bedroom, when hearing his voice coming from the bathroom, Halle sighed and put on a faint smile.
Why was she taking folic acid? Wasn’t it obvious?
Didn’t he say that he wanted to have a second child when they were in the Dragon Hills?
When she gave birth to Emily, she had no experience and was not prepared for anything. However, when she was ready, Horton stunned her again and again.
Horton questioned her again and again and didn’t believe her answer, so she felt helpless.
Horton ran out of the bathroom happily, put Halle in his arms tightly from behind, and whispered with pleasure.
"Thank you, Halle. Thank you for being willing to give me a child."
Halle’s smile faded because she could tell from his words that he did not believe that Emily was his daughter.
Halle emphasized somewhat angrily, "Emily is our child."
Horton seemed to have noticed that, so he quickly nodded, "Emily is our child. I will regard her as my child. Even if she gets a new baby, I will still appreciate her. I promise!"
Halle thought, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Horton, Emily is your biological daughter."
Horton nodded in the affirmative, "I will regard Emily as my daughter."
Halle was lost for word.
"Halle, thank you. I am very happy today."
Halle thought, "But I am very unhappy."
"Horton, I said that Emily is your biological daughter. Do you understand?"
Halle saw him nod vigorously and then realized that he did not understand it at all.
For the first time, she felt so devastated by a man who she had always thought was very smart.
Ever since she was young, she thought that she would not get violent or impulsive.
Hilla was very active and liked boxing. Halle used to think that Hilla was too violent and cruel. But at this moment, she really wanted to kick Horton.
She had repeated it so many times and explained it so clearly, but why did he still not understand?
Horton looked at Halle with excitement and caution because he could feel she was rather irritable now.
"Horton, I want to tell you for the last time. Since I was young, I only did that kind of thing with you. Four years ago, when I just divorced, I met you. Later, I found myself pregnant.
"I want to tell you that Emily is your biological daughter. Do you understand?" Horton thought that he seemed to understand!
