After Rebirth, I Replaced My Ex-Husband's True Love-Chapter 132: He and Azure Vaughn Aren’t Together

Chapter 132: Chapter 132: He and Azure Vaughn Aren’t Together

It was working hours, so Fern Tate didn’t dare to continue arguing with me, but her face didn’t look good all afternoon.

After work, I drove back, and just as I left the company entrance, I spotted a familiar red BMW. Azure Vaughn was just getting out of it, dressed very brightly, with a polka dot beret on her head, looking very young and fashionable.

It matched that red BMW perfectly.

Why would she come to the company after resigning? I was a bit puzzled, but I didn’t think too much about it.

After returning to the neighborhood where I lived, I took the elevator as usual to go upstairs. Just as the elevator doors were about to close, a hand quickly reached in, blocking the doors from closing.

The elevator doors slowly opened again, and Henry Preston walked in with a cold expression. He only glanced at me once, and we didn’t have any further eye contact.

Henry was carrying some groceries, and it was the first time I saw him buying groceries, giving off a bit of a domestic good man vibe.

A few seconds after the elevator doors closed, the car shook suddenly. I grabbed the handrail to steady myself, my heart pounding.

"The elevator’s broken." Henry tried pressing the open door button, but there was no response.

"Broken?" I was at a loss, "Call the building management."

Soon, we heard the voice of the building staff over the intercom, telling us not to worry, the elevator had a minor fault and repair personnel had already been called.

Afterwards, the elevator fell into silence, and Henry and I sat there speechless.

The silence was finally broken by the growling of my stomach. Usually, by this time, I would be cooking dinner, and the little creature inside me seemed to have a big appetite.

Henry glanced at me, and I turned my head, a bit embarrassed.

"Grrr"—my stomach protested again.

"Very hungry?" Henry bent down, opened the bag on the floor, revealing some ingredients, as well as a few apples and some ready-to-eat bread.

He handed me a piece of bread, "Eat something to hold you over."

I nodded, took the bread, and started eating. The bread was about the size of half a palm, and I finished it in two or three bites, feeling hungrier as I ate, my eyes couldn’t help but fall on the bag again.

The feeling of being so hungry made me a little frantic.

Henry seemed surprised at how much I suddenly could eat, as I really had a small appetite before.

He simply lifted the bag in front of me and opened it, "There’s only a little bread and apples, help yourself."

I didn’t stand on ceremony, disregarding whether the apples were washed or not, I began to eat ravenously.

When I was finally full, only three apples were left, and all the bread was gone.

"Have you had your stomach checked at the hospital?" Henry obviously didn’t care about a few pieces of bread and apples, but asked with a frown.

I wiped my mouth, "I had it checked, just a mild gastritis, it’s nothing."

"Okay." Henry’s brows eased a bit.

The repair team took a while, and half an hour passed before I heard voices from above. The fault could be up there.

But whatever they did, the car suddenly shook again, causing me to lose my balance and collide with the wall.

"Careful!" Henry quickly grabbed me, and I was pulled into his embrace by inertia, the familiar scent of tobacco mixed with a faint fragrance entered my nose.

Being pregnant made my sense of smell more sensitive than before, sometimes causing nausea from certain smells, especially tobacco. But the tobacco scent from Henry’s clothes was very faint and there was also an aroma, I surprisingly found it quite pleasing.

I reflexively thought, could it be that this child can recognize its father already?

If, after all these years of hard work raising her, she ended up getting close to Henry, I’d surely have a heart attack.

"Thanks!" Once I steadied myself, I thanked him politely.

"Okay." Henry let go of my hand, his expression unchanged.

The signal in the elevator was weak, so I simply sat down and started playing with my phone, until Henry’s phone rang. He glanced at me and answered it.

Due to the noise from above from the repair work and talking, Henry put the call on speakerphone, so I could also hear the other side of the call.

Azure’s sweet voice came through, "Mr. Preston, Joy and I made hot pot, and we also invited Yardley. Are you, Ivan, and Julian coming to eat?"

When I heard "hot pot," my stomach embarrassingly growled again, and loudly at that.

I helplessly rubbed my abdomen, thinking: Trouble-making kid, you can’t eat the mistress’s hot pot.

"I won’t be going over today." Henry’s voice seemed to lack its usual warmth.

"Oh? Okay, Joy and I will just eat then, remember to have dinner," Azure was slightly disappointed but still reminded him gently.

Henry replied, "Okay, I will."

After hanging up, I looked up at Henry, "Henry, have you stopped cherishing what you have now that you’ve gotten it?"

Henry took off his coat, then told me, "Stand up."

Not understanding his intention, I stood up, and he laid the coat down where I was sitting, gesturing for me to sit back down.

Could this gentlemanly, considerate man really be Henry? 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"If I’ve never gotten it, how can you talk about cherishing?" Only after I sat back down did Henry answer my previous question.

I was actually quite curious about the relationship between Henry and Azure. In the past life, there were so many things I didn’t know, and I lost quite pitifully. If it weren’t for Ivan telling me a few things in the end, I might have died knowing nothing.

"You weren’t together with her?" I was utterly shocked.

"No." Henry answered very firmly.

For a moment, I didn’t know how to respond. How could they not be together? I saw with my own eyes how he was enamored with Azure at first sight, saw the messages he sent, saw him pressuring her to resign, breaking up, all sorts of things that really happened.

After a while, I continued to ask, "Why? Didn’t you like her?"

Henry suddenly chuckled, and asked in return, "You seem pretty sure I pursued her first?"

Wasn’t it? In the past life, Ivan told me that Henry was the one chasing Azure, and even after rebirth, I saw the messages he sent to her.

"If nothing ever happened between her and me, would you consider remarrying me?" Henry didn’t wait for my answer, he continued asking.

"No way." I almost answered without thinking, I don’t care what happened between him and Azure, all I know is that those scenes I saw with my own eyes once deeply hurt me.

Henry smirked but didn’t say anything more. Just then, the elevator doors opened, I got up from the ground, returned the coat to him, and then stepped out.

Henry and I walked away from each other, each opening the door to our own homes.

The moment I closed the door, my mind turned chaotic, uncontrollably recalling what Henry had just said. If he hadn’t pursued Azure first, then did Azure send him some signal?

Was Henry’s love at first sight with her and his aggressive pursuit just a surface phenomenon?
