Her small hand clutched Bryce O'Connor's sleeve, her eyes brimming with tears, looking at him with sadness and sorrow. No matter what, she didn't want to part with Bryce O'Connor. She was foolish in her past life, but in this life, even if it meant death, she wanted to stay by Bryce O'Connor's side. 

Bryce O'Connor's face remained calm, but hearing Veena Morton say she wanted to be with him forever stirred an excitement within him that only he knew. But how could he trust Veena Morton? It had happened too many times; he no longer believed her. 

"Veena Morton, I don't like being lied to." 

Bryce O'Connor's words were still calm, but the hurt in his eyes revealed how much pain he was in. 

Veena Morton's heart ached as she cried, "I'm not lying to you." 

It seemed Bryce O'Connor still didn't believe her. 

And he had a point. 

Someone who wanted a divorce just last night now saying they don't want it anymore and wanting to be together forever the next day—it would scare anyone. 

But she didn't know how to prove herself. 

Yet she couldn't lose Bryce O'Connor. 

She looked up at Bryce O'Connor, "If I'm lying, let the heavens punish me to fall into the eighteenth layer of hell..." 

Veena Morton thought it through and could only think of this method. 

She didn't know if making a vow would make Bryce O'Connor trust her a bit more, even if just a little bit. 

"Veena Morton, don't say such things!" Bryce O'Connor hurriedly stopped her from making the vow. He didn't want to hear anything detrimental to her, even if it was said by herself. 

Seeing that Bryce O'Connor didn't even dare let her make a vow, Veena Morton felt only guilt and sorrow in her heart. Such a good Bryce O'Connor, why did she get fooled by Sheila Henry's few words and a blurry video to misunderstand him in the first place? 

How could she have been so foolish, not even willing to ask Bryce O'Connor for the truth? 

"Bryce O'Connor, then promise me we won't divorce, okay?" 

She sobbed softly, "I know I did many wrong things before. I treated you badly and kept pushing for a divorce, causing you a lot of pain. I realize now how wrong I was. I shouldn't have done those things." 

The more Veena Morton spoke, the more her heart ached and the more she regretted her foolishness. 

She thought there was no medicine for regret, but now, she had been given a second chance.

So, she truly didn't want to lose Bryce O'Connor. 

"I want to be with you," Veena Morton said. "If you don't believe me, can you give me some time to prove it?" 

"Prove what?" 

Veena Morton said, "My love for you." 

"Love?" 

Bryce O'Connor suddenly said with sarcasm, a trace of hurt flickering in his eyes, "Veena Morton, even if you're lying to me, there's no need to use such a ridiculous excuse." 

Veena Morton knew Bryce O'Connor would think she was crazy. Last night she was pushing for a divorce, and today she was saying she loved him. No one would believe that. 

But she truly loved Bryce O'Connor. 

No one knew. 

"I'm not asking you to believe me now," Veena Morton said, clinging to him. "But can you give me a chance to prove myself? I'll make you believe that what I'm saying is true. If I'm lying to you, then just like you said, don't let me leave you for the rest of my life." 

She knew her sudden change in attitude was too drastic. It was normal for Bryce O'Connor not to believe her. 

As long as Bryce O'Connor was willing to give her a chance, Veena Morton would definitely not disappoint him. 

She would prove to Bryce O'Connor that she truly loved him. 

And loved him deeply. 

All the commotion was just due to a misunderstanding. 

But now, Veena Morton didn't know how to explain this to Bryce O'Connor. 

"Bryce O'Connor, please?" 

Veena Morton looked at him, afraid he wouldn't agree.

Bryce O'Connor was silent for a moment before he said, "Why do this, Veena Morton? I've already given you what you wanted. If you don't take this chance, maybe I'll regret it, and then I'll never let you go." 

He spoke seriously. 

Agreeing to the divorce was a decision he made after careful consideration, but for Veena Morton, he couldn't promise to stick to his word. If Veena Morton acted up again, he wasn't sure he would let her go.

"Then never let me go, let me stay by your side forever." 

Veena Morton wrapped her arms around Bryce O'Connor's neck, whispering, "Bryce O'Connor, I'm serious. Give me a chance, I'll prove that everything I said is true. If I lie to you, then like you said, don't ever let me go for the rest of my life." 

Bryce O'Connor's heart pounded violently. 

Never let her go for the rest of her life? 

He wanted that. 

But what if Veena Morton acted up again? 

What if she hurt herself again? 

He couldn't bear to see Veena Morton hurt herself again. 

Bryce O'Connor looked at her, his dark eyes heavy with a sigh.

"Veena Morton, we've been married for a year. I've accepted all your little emotions, all your dissatisfaction. I'd rather you hate me and want my life, but why do you have to hurt yourself?"

Bryce O'Connor's eyes reddened as he caressed Veena Morton's face, his voice filled with deep disappointment.

"Veena Morton, I love you." 

"But I'm really tired." 

Suddenly. 

Veena Morton's heart ached sharply. 

"Bryce O'Connor, I'm sorry." 

She had disappointed Bryce O'Connor. 

Seeing the hurt in Bryce O'Connor's eyes, Veena Morton only hated herself for causing him so much pain. 

For making Bryce O'Connor so disappointed. 

Veena Morton's eyes reddened as she lifted her lips and kissed Bryce O'Connor. 

Bryce O'Connor's eyes widened in surprise. Veena Morton had kissed him again.

The next second, he heard her say. 

"Husband, give me another chance, okay?" 

Husband? 

Bryce O'Connor's heart trembled. 

Veena Morton called him husband? 

After being married for so long, this was the first time he heard Veena Morton call him husband. 

Bryce O'Connor was stunned. 

"Husband, please." 

The sweet soft voice rang out again, confirming Bryce O'Connor wasn't hearing things. 

His gaze fixed on Veena Morton's face, "Veena Morton, what did you call me?" 

Veena Morton buried herself in Bryce O'Connor's embrace, "Husband, husband, husband!" 

"Husband, please, don't divorce me?" 

"Give me another chance, okay?" 

The girl leaned in his arms, pleading repeatedly. Bryce O'Connor had never seen this side of Veena Morton. Since college, he hadn't seen her smile at him, let alone act coquettishly. 

Especially after they got married, all they had was endless arguing. 

He never thought Veena Morton would one day become like this. 

Become the way he always wished. 

"Husband~" 

Veena Morton looked up. Her eyes, already beautiful, now held a bit of mist, making her look even more fragile and pitiful. Especially with her pleading look, Bryce O'Connor felt defenseless. 

Seeing Bryce O'Connor still not responding, Veena Morton pouted, her voice soft, "Husband, don't you want Veena anymore?" 

Bryce O'Connor: "........." 

She's really. 

Going to take his life.

"Veena Morton." 

Veena Morton responded softly, "I'm here." 

"Do you really not want a divorce?" 

Veena Morton shook her head, "No, even if I die, I won't divorce." 

Bryce O'Connor's dark eyes flickered. 

"Alright, then I'll give you one month to think it over. During this month, if you still want to leave, I will agree." Bryce O'Connor paused, his eyes flashing with possessiveness, "But after this month, you'll never have a chance to change your mind." 

"I won't change my mind!" Hearing Bryce O'Connor relent, Veena Morton smiled. Although Bryce O'Connor still didn't believe her and said he was giving her a month to reconsider, it was a good outcome. During this month, she would definitely prove to Bryce O'Connor that she didn't want to leave him. 

Bryce O'Connor didn't know why Veena Morton was so happy, but he felt relieved. 

If they really had to divorce. 

It would probably take half his life.
