Shana’s attention was entirely focused on applying the ointment, her voice casual as she replied, “Which one? The part where he called you as a b*stard?
“Or was it the one where you were called a good for nothing?
“Maybe it’s the one where he said you’re blind and clueless, unable to tell right from wrong?”
Henry ground his teeth, his frustration boiling, but he stayed silent.
Shana finished treating the wound, put the ointment and cotton swab back in the medical kit, closed the lid, then slowly took a disinfecting wipe and began cleaning her hands.
Only then did she leisurely add, “If it’s that one, I think Duncan was absolutely right!”
Henry didn’t speak, maybe because she’d gotten to him. Instead, as she tried to get up from the bed, his long arm suddenly wrapped around her slender waist.
Caught off guard, she was spun around and knocked down onto the bed.
Shana stared at him in shock, instinctively pressing her hands against his chest to push him away, trying to speak as calmly as possible.
“Mr. Floyd, what do you think you’re doing?”
Henry’s dark eyes reflected her small form, his lips pressed together in a thin line as he lowered his voice. “I’m referring to the part where Grandpa said we should hurry up and have kids.”
Since their marriage, Henry had been strongly against having children. Any time she even mentioned it, he’d explode, warning her to forget about it.
But now, he was bringing it up himself–what was happening? Was the pig flying?
Shana raised an eyebrow and asked, “Didn’t you say you didn’t want kids?”
She had always been obsessed with the idea of having children. Of course, she wanted to have a child with the man she loved, but more than that, she longed for the bond of family.
A child, a blood relative, would ensure she wouldn’t be alone.
Henry stared at her in silence, his brow furrowed, a flicker of struggle in his eyes. After a moment, he sighed as if resigning himself to it, speaking with a quiet determination.
“If you really need a child to stop with your antics and if it’ll please Grandpa.
He inhaled deeply, as if steeling himself for the decision, then continued. “Then let’s have one.”
Strana froze.
She had assumed she would never hear him agree to it in her lifetime, but now it was actually happening. For three years, she’d fought with him over this issue. Especially when Kate kept flaunting her relationship

on social media, Shana had become desperate and frustrated, and their arguments had only grown more
intense.
She had always held the belief that children were the primary source of conflict between them. If that was resolved, he might finally settle back into their family and break things off with Kate. With a child, she’d feel secure in their marriage, no longer living in constant uncertainty.
After so much back–and–forth, Henry finally agreed. She expected herself to feel joy, but instead, she felt a strange emptiness. In fact, she couldn’t help but laugh.
And she actually laughed, her tone hard to decipher, “Mr. Floyd, you really are being forced into it.”
It was as if having a child with his legitimate wife was a chore he had to endure–his face looked like he was being dragged to the guillotine.
Henry’s brow furrowed deeper. To him, this was the greatest compromise he could make, but here she was, still acting all sarcastic.
He felt a wave of frustration rising within him. He realized that if this went on, she would drive him mad.
Without saying another word, he leaned in and kissed her lips.
Shana, however, had her guard up. She turned her head to the side, and his kiss landed on her cheek instead. The next moment, she forcefully shoved him away.
“Don’t touch me!”
This wasn’t a game of teasing or playful seduction. It was a clear, visible rejection, laced with anger.
Once might have been a misunderstanding, but this was the second time. Henry’s eyes darkened completely, his gaze becoming cold and stormy. “Shana, what do you mean?”
Suddenly, a thought from Damon flashed through his mind. Before Shana could respond, he snapped, “Are you seeing someone else?”
Shana’s face turned pale with fury.
Was this what all men did? Whenever there was a conflict, they never looked inward but always blamed their wives?
With seething sarcasm, she laughed bitterly. “Henry, when I wanted to have a baby, you refused every time. Why now, when you want one, do I have to comply? Well, let me tell you, I don’t want one anymore!”
Their marriage was already on the verge of falling apart. Why would she bring a child into the mess just to trap herself?
Children should be born into a loving, healthy marriage, not as a means to fulfill someone’s selfish desires.
And the way he spoke–like he was doing her a favor–sickened her.
However, Henry didn’t see it that way. In his eyes, these were just excuses. For the past three years, it had been her, not him, insisting on having a child. She had used every method imaginable: calculating the best time to conceive, secretly feeding him supplements, buying seductive lingerie, and trying to seduce him.

She’d even consulted a metaphysic master to guide them on how to arrange their furniture and had Gillian perform bizarre rituals, all in the hopes of getting pregnant. Shana had done all sorts of foolish things.
It was like she was obsessed.
Now, she was claiming she didn’t want children? He wouldn’t believe it for a second.
Henry grabbed her by the shoulders and yanked her up, demanding, “I knew it. You’ve changed. Who is the man?”
Shana remained silent.
Inside, she couldn’t help but mock him internally. She knew this was just Henry’s way of testing her; he wasn’t sincere in having a child with her.
He was terrified that she’d been unfaithful.
Even though he’d been out messing around himself, he was still possessive, as if every man had that same flaw.
This j*rk was double standard!
Clenching her teeth, she darted her eyes, then suddenly calmed down.
She lifted her chin slightly and said, “I’m telling you, but it’ll cost you. A 100,000 dollars for the name.”
At this moment, she did not hesitate to demand money. Henry’s veins were visibly throbbing with anger. He fought to keep his fury in check, his words sharp. “You really dare to set a price!”
He’d been betrayed, and now she was shamelessly asking him to pay to find out the name of her supposed lover.
This kind of business sense–he couldn’t help but feel a little inferior.
Shana smiled, unbothered. “Whether you give it to me or not, it’s up to you.”
“Fine, I’ll pay!”
Henry gritted his teeth, muttering the words through clenched jaws. He grabbed his phone, transferring her 105,000 dollars. He reasoned that once she gave him her name, it was likely she wouldn’t live long enough to spend it.
“Nice doing business with you,” Shana said with a satisfied clap.
After confirming the money had been sent, she looked into his seething eyes and said, “The man’s name is
Dave.”
Which Dave? Tell me exactly!”
Henry’s mind raced as he tried to think of anyone named Dave he knew.
Shana said each word clearly and deliberately, “Dave that lives next door.”

Dave from next door?
But Moonville Bay was a gated community with detached villas. There were no neighbors.
It didn’t take long for Henry to realize he’d been played.
: “Shana!” He roared. “You’re dead!”

He lunged to grab her, but Shana moved faster. She leapt off the bed and ran out of the room without looking back.
