Marry My Ex's Sworn Enemy (Sonya)

Chapter 73: He Had a Fiancée

Jasmine Smith's grave was far from the city, and the road was rough. Even with GPS, Henry took

a wrong turn.

They arrived at the cemetery entrance near midday.

The cemetery was on a mountain, inaccessible by car, so they had to walk. The GPS only led them to the entrance, and Henry clearly didn't know where Jasmine Smith's grave was, so they had to search. Near the summit, they saw Jay, Simon, and Mrs. Sterling.

Sonya and Henry hurried over. Sonya started to apologize, but Jay interrupted, frowning.

"Why did you bring her?"

The question was directed at Henry, but it embarrassed Sonya.

Henry's face hardened. "Jay, what's your problem? I brought my wife. What's wrong with that?"

"Your wife? You... you call her your wife? You..."

Jay paced back and forth, his anger rising. Simon and Mrs. Sterling rushed over; one pulled Jay away, the other tried to smooth things over.

"He's acting up again. Ignore him."

Mrs. Sterling took Sonya's hand, apologetic.

Sonya shook her head, indicating it was fine."We took a wrong turn, so we're late." Heh, you don't come often, so you don't know the way. Things cool down fast, huh? Way too fast," Jay muttered, directing another barbed comment at them. Henry, remarkably patient considering his temper, had reached his limit with Jay's snide remarks. He lost his temper and kicked Jay.

Jay, equally simmering, shoved Simon aside and lunged at Henry.

They started fighting, fists flying. Simon and Mrs. Sterling couldn't separate them, frantically circling them.

Sonya was still stunned. How did this happen?

She looked at the headstone, at the photo-the same girl with short hair and a defiant look. The photo showed her with a raised chin, a cold, cynical expression. She had delivered her dumplings, saying, "Who do think

Her name was Jasmine Smith. Sonya had only met her once but remembered her vividly. Henry had paid for her medical expenses, tuition, and living expenses. He helped out at Lucky's every summer with her, yet he claimed to have forgotten her. The fight ended when Simon finally separated them.

"Today's Jasmine Smith's death anniversary. You two fought at her grave? She'd be heartbroken!" Simon exclaimed, frustrated.

Jay grunted and knelt before the grave to burn incense.

"Huan'er, Jay Ge came to see you. If you could see... damn it, I wish you'd just vanish like smoke.

Jay's voice broke.

Mrs. Sterling looked at Sonya apologetically and arranged offerings. Simon helped lay burn

incense.

Sonya stepped back. Henry glanced at the headstone, then put his hands in his pockets and looked

She walked to the grave, picked up some paper money, and tried to put it in the brazier, bor Jay 'stopped her, glaring.

Sonya whispered, "I want to tell her I'll take care of Henry. Please rest in peace" "You..." Jay looked stunned.

"I know she was Henry's fiancée. They were in a car accident together. He survived, but she died"

""You know?"

Sonya remained silent; her guess was right.

"Mm-hm."

"Henry told you?"

"Does it matter?"

"Since the accident, he never mentioned Jasmine Smith again. If we bring her up, he acts like be doesn't know her. He's so heartless!" "But Jasmine Smith is gone. The living have to live on.*

Jay didn't stop her anymore. Sonya burned the paper money. She looked at Jasmine Smith's photo, a wry smile on her lips.

After the ceremony, they found Henry gone. They found him at the foot of the mountain, leaning against a tree, smoking.

"He didn't even burn incense or say a word to Huan'er! They were studying abroad together when the accident happened! How can he be so calm about it!? Jay's anger flared again.

"Enough! What do you want Henry to do? Cry all day? He's moved on. As his friends, we should be happy for him!" Simon pulled Jay into the car.

Mrs. Sterling apologized again to Sonya. "Simon and I didn't want to tell you. Jay called without our knowledge. I'm sorry you were put in this difficult position."

Simon and the others left. Sonya approached Henry.

He saw her, extinguished his cigarette, and tossed it in the trash.

a hug, kissing her softly.

On the way home, Henry was in a good mood, talking about vacations. They were married but hadn't had a honeymoon. He had time off now and suggested a trip.

Sonya used the GPS, but it led them to a muddy patch, impassable by car. "There's a village up ahead. I'll ask for directions."

Sonya got out and walked through a wheat field to the village. A villager showed her a better path. When she returned, Henry wasn't in the car.

'There were cigarette butts on the ground. She saw him walking through the wheat field. She called out to him. He should have heard her, but he didn't stop or turn around. Something felt wrong. Sonya ran after him, calling his name. She finally caught up and grabbed his arm.

"Henry, stop!"

He looked at her, stunned, as if he didn't recognize her.

"You..."

Sonya's heart pounded. This Henry was unlike any she had ever seen vulnerable.

"Hus... Husband?" she tried again.
