"Or incredibly stupid, but I don't have a problem with that. I mean I wish I stopped my ability to have children years ago, but it's alright. I think given our end goal, being barren is a much lighter burden when compared with alternatives."

Henry touched her hands so she would look into his eyes. "I think it's really brave of you to volunteer yourself to go do something for me when you don't have to. Being interrogated in a courtroom can be incredibly intense. I will try to make sure it doesn't come down to that."

"I don't really mind. I mean my racing career is practically over. They would never take me back. Being on the stand about my health issues won't be something I should have to worry about too much. I doubt I have any fans I need." Ellie turned to him and narrowed her eyes. "If I do say I can't have kids, wouldn't they also ask about your sexual history as well?"

"What sexual history?" Henry said with a slow awkward smile. He knew that everywhere he went it was splashed on tabloids. Henry was friends with plenty of incredibly successful models and actresses. But nothing more. He knew that it was thought that business moguls were playboys, but he had always wanted a simple life. Too many women, from what he'd seen from his colleagues had always spelled doom in multiple avenues. He didn't want to be haunted by any problems in the form of a lady. He had thought of it, but the repercussions were just too fierce. 

"I mean I don't mind." Ellie couldn't look at him while she said this.

"I haven't touched anyone since I've met you and signed those marriage papers."

Ellie couldn't help the blush that had started to heat up her cheeks as she said, "Then that settles it. An annulment it is. I hope that it will be possible sooner than later."

Henry nodded in concordance. He refilled Ellie's cup as he searched for a new topic. He looked down at the papers, "You never did tell me how you got to know legal topics so well."

"No I did, but I can say it again. I studied pre-law at NYU the same college where Nolan is now. I don't know, I could never commit myself to premed or business so I thought it was a nice avenue that all my interests could be explored in. I really enjoyed my classes when I was taking them. Now that I have a bit more freed up time, maybe I'll go back to school."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

Henry continued, "Why didn't you do both? You could have had racing and a law practice hand in hand."

Ellie smiled sheepishly. "I mean have you spent time with lawyers. It's literally office work and meetings twenty four seven. I just can't take something so boring. That's why I signed a pro contract. I couldn't take reading a backpack full of boring books in the library all day. I wanted to be outside. I wanted to feel the rush of the breeze."
