"I have seen them. I have thought they were true as they have been in print for years." Olga looked towards the door with a thoughtful expression. "I am not sure of Henry if I am truly honest with you. There are times he seems like a dream. I feel like he seems to be uncomfortable to openly display love. I am sure that he doesn't like women who fall for him just on the basis of his money and looks. He must have a real disgust for that for of things. I'm sure love at first site makes him tremble with horror. I have read those rags that he goes through women like one would go through soft drinks. He thinks our gender is disposable. I did some asking around and there are models with whom his is genuine friends with. They told my contact that he is flirted with so often that it's just boring to him."

"Well that is not good news for me." Ellie tried to keep the despair out of her voice by trying to joke. "It's such a strange thing you know to see someone and instantly know that everything is right. I usually regret my headstrong decisions but this isn't one of them. It is like I hit the bullseye without really aiming."

"You're not one to make decisions lightly. Even your quick decisions are always made with forethought. I don't think this was a mistake on your part. If your feeling is really that strong I'm sure its no girly crush on the most handsome man in the room." Olga looked at her. "I know the man who was like your father Deul set this up for you. It's not just your decision either. Deul wants what is best for you and I think his judgement is very good. Henry and you compliment each other very well. He's calm and you're a flutter. It's the opposite that attracts."

Ellie looked at her friend in shock. "You really think so. I didn't think Deul was serious about this as a match long term. I doubt he knew that I would not be dead in a week or so. Did you know I had such a little span as my projected prognosis?"

"Oh my goodness. I never knew that the situation was that bad! Deul must have been terribly worried for you." Olga looked at Ellie with alarm before her eyes softened. "But I'm sure that he saw the two of you together—children he watched grow up and wanted to unite his two favorite things. I know him well enough to say so. He must have just seen it and said this is right."

"I can imagine him saying that too in broken english. I wish I had made a better decision at that time." Ellie readjusted her crutches as her armpits were starting to get sore. "Henry Wong doesn't want a wife right now and I can't think that forcing him to stay married to me would be a good idea. I have thought about getting pregnant or telling the press. But, you know I could never do that to him. I don't think I could live with myself even though I know some friends who have done that type of thing. I do want a normal relationship and this kind of high society isn't really what I want. I actually encouraged Henry to ask the family lawyer to look into annulments. I think the lawyer is still finalizing the documents for us to sign."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.
