Chapter 44
"The female lead, his wife, told him to focus on their children rather than her. She knew well enough that he’s doing his best, that’s why she decided not to send those letters to him when she was in the hospital, because she wanted him and her children to move on from her eventual death," Kate said. "It’s a tragic tale, but the male lead is not a scum, he’s just misunderstood."
"How about you? What do you think about the ending, are you with the Director or the Author?" Kate asked him back.
Henry pondered for a while and then replied, "The Author."
Kate’s brows creased instantly, "That’s surprising. I thought you’d agree with me."
"I understand your point, but I like the original ending more," Henry said. "If the male lead really loved his wife, then he would never have abandoned her. She was alone on her deathbed as she endured a lot of pain. The male lead in that story didn’t try hard enough for his dying wife. He simply drowned himself in work to avoid depression from his wife’s unsalvageable cancer. He gave up, and no man in love with his wife will do that, the female lead deserved better."
Kate snorted, "I never knew that Mr. Henry Grant was a hopeless romantic, I didn’t expect you to be the type that would insist that a man be loyal to his spouse. Though, I doubt you’ll ever act on it."
"I am the loyal type, I’m a one woman man," Henry claimed with a serious expression on his face. "I will never cheat, nor leave the woman I truly love."
"And have you ever done that?"
"I’ve never been in love with anyone in my life," Henry replied. "I’ve had plenty of casual relationships, but I did not love any of them."
