Chapter 545: Chapter 545: Success in Lawsuit (7)

"..." Simon Carrington looked back at her, his eyes sharp. Irene Houston met his gaze, unfazed, "You shouldn’t have forgotten how we got married in the first place, should you? Now, I no longer need this marriage, so, I want it to end."

Back then, she had received a call from Simon, proving to others that his relationship with Daisy Willow was innocent. They were merely attorney and agent with nothing untoward. He would appear timely to help her with any trouble she’d encounter, just as she would help him out willingly with any of his troubles.

But now, she indeed didn’t need this marriage anymore because she planned to leave her worldly life behind, and she had even found the right place to do so.

"But I need it now." Especially at this time when his grandfather was seriously ill, it was unwise for him to get a divorce or have any changes in his marriage with Irene.

"Let’s go to your room to talk." As they were standing off against each other, someone opened the door nearby. Irene lowered her head and spoke to Simon. After all, she hadn’t taken out her room card yet.

Simon was certainly a gentleman, so, she totally trusted him.

As they entered the room, Simon was the first to speak, "Given Grandpa’s current health condition, any turbulence in our marriage will greatly affect him. I am not opposed to divorcing, I just hope you can wait a bit longer. Okay?"

Simon was sincerely pleading to her. He loved his grandpa, and for his grandpa’s sake, he was willing to inconvenience the woman in front of him.

It was true that Irene was his wife, but they had never consummated their marriage since their wedding. Everything was innocent. Their daughter, Stella Carrington, also known as Baby, was very cute. She was Irene’s child with her ex-boyfriend. When Irene first learned she was pregnant, her boyfriend had died in a car accident.

At that time, the devastated Irene had also planned to take her own life along with her unborn child. But he saved her when she tried to jump into the river. Oddly enough, they ended up together. Irene had been very clear about not falling in love with him. Simon just laughed, as he was in need of a marriage, not anything else.

However, after their wedding, the two of them were pressed by their families to have children. Simon simply didn’t want to pressure Irene anymore. After some discussion, Irene took the initiative to repay him for saving her life by bearing him a son.

The way they had a child was different from other couples. They didn’t need to have sexual intercourse, but had their eggs and sperm extracted for artificial insemination, and they had a boy.

For this, Irene endured a lot. However, by the grace of God, three years into their marriage, Irene was finally pregnant with a boy, who she named Liam Carrington after birth.

Publicly, Simon announced that Stella was also their daughter. Everybody in the Carrington family was joyful at the time, except Stella was a girl. So, Irene knew she had to bear a son for Simon. Having attempted suicide once and survived, Irene gave up seeking death again. She wanted to repay Simon’s life-saving kindness, albeit not with her body.

"Have you ever considered that Grandpa might have already known everything? I’ve confessed." Irene admitted voluntarily. Yes, she had told Grandpa the true story of her marriage to Simon when Grandpa was doing a bit better. At the time, she did it with a determination to die if Grandpa couldn’t handle this shock.

She thought she had lived long enough. However, if Grandpa survived, then she could regain her freedom. She didn’t want to play this part anymore, she was tired of all the acting. She wanted to live the rest of her life on her own terms.

"What did you say?" Simon’s expression instantly changed. He couldn’t believe that Irene had disclosed the truth about their marriage without consulting him first. This woman, she was simply...
