The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 2221

When Helen saw Sheldon kneeling on the ground and crying, Helen subconsciously took a few steps back as she freed her body from his grasp. After that, she said seriously, "Sheldon, you should understand my personality very well. I brought up a gentleman's agreement with three clauses to you when I agreed to marry you. Do you remember what it is?"

Sheldon lifted his head with flushed red eyes as he nodded slightly and said, "I remember! I remember! I remember every word! Honey, I was really just

confused for a moment. Please, I beg you. Please just forgive me this once, okay?"

Helen had a stern expression on her face as she said, " Sheldon, I want you to tell me what were those three clauses in our gentleman's agreement first."

Sheldon felt his heart hurting as he said in a trembling voice, "The first clause of our gentleman's agreement was that no matter what time or what kind of situation it was, as long as... as long as..." Helen probed, "As long as what?"

Sheldon sighed as he said, "Sigh! As long as... as long as Curtis is willing to turn around, come back, and accept your love, I will have to divorce you unconditionally, and I will not pester you anymore!" 5 Helen nodded before she asked him, "What about the

second clause?"

Sheldon said, "The second clause was that I should never prevent you from meeting up with Curtis as a normal friend even after our marriage." 4 Helen asked again, "What about the third clause?"

"The third clause..." Sheldon murmured, "The third clause was that you were not marrying me out of love, but simply because you wanted to settle down and have a stable family. So, both of us would need to abide by moral standards. The bottom line is that we cannot have any ambiguous relationship or actual relationship with a member of the opposite sex throughout our marriage. If any of us were to change our minds, we would have to inform the other party in advance and break up peacefully, then..." s

Helen hummed before she said calmly, "Since you remember everything, there is no need for me to repeat it. I will go back to my natal family home today. The both of us can go through the divorce procedures in the morning tomorrow. So, I will have to trouble you to prepare and print out a divorce agreement tonight. Since both of our children are already grown-ups, there will be no custody issues involved. As for the assets and properties in this family, I do not want a single penny at all. So, that's it, then." 4

After she was done speaking, Helen turned around to leave. 2

Sheldon hurriedly knelt in front of her as he grabbed her luggage and cried as he said, "Honey, you do not know the details of everything that happened back then..."

"Yashita... Yashita lost her arm back then to save me. So, I wanted to repay her for her sacrifice, but she... she told me that she had already had a crush on me for many years. So, all that she wanted was to leave without any regrets..."

"At that time... at that time, I was simply moved, and also a little impulsive. So... so, that is why I had a tryst with her once..."

"I can swear that I, Sheldon Schulz, have only betrayed you once. That was the one and only time..."

"Please forgive me this time on the account that we have already been husband and wife for more than twenty years now, and also on the account of both our son and daughter! I beg you..." Helen replied seriously, "Sheldon, there are many ways to thank a person and repay them for what they have done. So, why did you have to choose to betray your marriage to thank a person?" 5 Sheldon cried as he said, "Honey, I... I was just confused and caught up in the moment..."

Helen waved her hand and said, "It does not matter whether you were confused or not. What matters is that you have already made your own choice. Since you dared to make that choice, you should be willing to accept the consequences for your action, then!"

After that, Helen solemnly said, "If the both of us can get the divorce done peacefully tomorrow, the both of us can still continue to be friends even if we are no longer husband and wife in the future. However, i you refuse to divorce peacefully, I can only file for a divorce with the court, then. You should also know that we will have to attend court hearings for a divorce case. You are a reputable figure, so there is no need for things to turn so ugly, right?"

Sheldon looked at Helen, and he choked up as he cried and said, "Honey, just tell me what I can do so that you will be willing to forgive me?! As long as you say it, I will certainly try my best to get it done for you! I will even be willing to go through the most severe trials for you!"

Helen smiled slightly before she said, "Sheldon, I am sorry, but I really can't forgive you."

Sheldon was trembling uncontrollably at this time as he asked her, "Honey, the both of us have already been married for more than twenty years now. Are you truly going to be so heartless?"
