Chapter 45 I'm Going to join the army

"I know I'm wrong. I won't dare again next time. Please forgive me. Don't be so fierce, okay? It's a bit scary." Bailey said to Henry with a forced smile.

But Bailey felt a little wronged, and she was forced to do so. The debt of three hundred thousand was like an invisible shackle, suffocating at the thought of it. It was because she had no other way out that she thought of taking part in a fight.

Henry knew that he was now exuding a murderous aura. When he was fighting with the steel block just now, he really had the urge to punch him to death. Fortunately, that last shred of sanity didn't allow him to kill him in the end.

"Who paid you back that 300,000?" You're just making trouble for nothing.

"Nobody used me to pay it back, but Alvin's money is not good to be owed."

"Can't you leave the matter of whether it's owed or not to me?" Henry felt that Bailey was worrying unnecessarily. She just had to enjoy her life and not worry about the three hundred thousand or three million debts. Wasn't she here?

"How could I have the nerve to trouble you so much? I don't want to trouble you anymore."

"Bailey, have you figured out the situation?" Henry, like a fierce eagle, pounced on Bailey in an instant, clutching Bailey's chin tightly with his hand, "We are husband and wife now. There is no relationship of one dragging the other down. No matter what happens in the future, no difficulty, I will not allow you to hide it from me. You must tell me the truth, even if the sky falls, As long as I, Henry, am around, it's not your turn to stand up."

Henry felt that his dignity and authority as a man had been completely denied, and that he was so non-existent in Bailey's mind. When she had problems, she thought of facing them alone. Not only did she not accept his kindness, but she also deceived and concealed him.

Bailey felt as if her jawbone was about to be crushed by Henry, and it took her a long time to break free from Henry's hand.

"Henry, did you take the wrong medicine today? I've been putting up with you from just now until now, and you're not restraining yourself, you're getting more and more excessive." Bailey is now angry too. "You grew up in a noble family and you have never experienced the sorrow of being penniless and having creditors come to collect debts during festivals, but I have. Since my father was killed, my mother has not only had to raise me, but also has to save up to pay off debts. I have had enough of being insulted, despised and despised."

Later, the debts of House of Mitchell were paid off, and Bailey had already put all these past events behind her. However, during a conversation with Harold that day, what Harold said and did deeply stimulated Bailey, causing the pain that had been buried deep in her heart to resurface.

So the three hundred thousand had to be paid off, and it had to be paid off on its own, without the slightest bit of House of Morris.

"We are husband and wife, but it's just a partnership. You help my mother with her illness and I help you deal with House of Morris up and down. I'm grateful to you, but I don't want to owe you for the rest of my life. I know that when I go to fight, danger can come at any time and I might die, but if a person has no dignity, what's the use of life? Do you think I'm a man who would sacrifice my life for three thousand dollars in competition prize money? No, I don't want money. I want to piece my dignity piece by piece. You may not understand, but you don't have to teach me a lesson by putting on a high and mighty attitude."

In the end, the House of Morris father and son, although they dislike each other, still have something in common: they like to teach others a lesson from a high position.

After Bailey finished speaking, there was a suffocating silence in the carriage.

Henry poured himself half a glass of red wine, took a small sip, looked up at Bailey and asked indifferently, "What about your mother if you have an accident in the race?"

Bailey was speechless. She had just been speaking passionately, expressing her emotions to the fullest extent, but now Henry's question had broken down her entire defense.

She never thought about what would happen to her mother if something had happened to her, because she didn't dare.

"It's a false proposition that if a man loses his dignity, he doesn't have to live." Henry held the glass in his hand, shook it gracefully, and finally raised his neck and poured all the wine down his throat.

A little sour, a little astringent, and a hint of sweetness, like life after enlightenment.

Once upon a time, Henry was as proud as Bailey, believing that a noble death is better than a humble life.

But after that mission, he realized that many times, one has to live with humiliation and hardship. Just as he is now, sitting in a wheelchair all day long, pretending to be frail and seriously ill, and putting on a cynical and carefree air, it is actually a kind of endurance.

"I apologize to you. I spoke too hastily just now." Henry understood Bailey's situation and now regained his usual gentle demeanor, which was not much like a soldier but made Bailey feel that the Henry she knew was back. He returned from the tempest of anger to the calmness after the rain.

"I'm not asking you to give up your dignity, but to learn to be resilient, and if you really feel exhausted, you can lean on my shoulder." Henry put the glass back in its place, but still held the wine bottle in his hand and stroked it. His handsome face reminded Bailey of that time when she rested her head on his shoulder, which was indeed a very memorable feeling.

"We have a House of Morris rule, which was set by my grandfather's generation, that all descendants of House of Morris must have military experience." Henry raised his eyes and looked at Bailey with clear, watery eyes and asked, "Have you ever been in the army?"

Bailey shook his head, not understanding why Henry had suddenly shifted the topic here.

My grandma is about to arrive in Ascalia. To be able to play the role of a perfect granddaughter-in-law in front of her, I think you should pack your things and report to the Ascalia Military District next month.

Bailey was taken aback. She had never expected Henry to ask to join the army. She thought that Henry had just intended to use the fact that she was not in the military as an excuse to ask for divorce.

Divorce? This guy's IQ is going negative again, and he hasn't even thought about divorce since the moment Henry got married.

"I can join the army, but you have to promise me one condition first."Bailey said.
