The President's Secret Wife by Josephine

Chapter 049 Want to Bet?
Although she knew that Barret didn’t choose her because he loved her, Jenny still couldn’t help but feel
her heart pound.
“Thank you, Barret. Thank you for your decisiveness. And thank you for not hesitating,” Jenny thought
Perhaps it was because she was pregnant, Jenny felt really sleepy on the way back.
Barret stretched out his arm and pulled her head into his chest, hugging her. “If you are sleepy, you can sleep for a while.”
“Okay.”
Jenny obediently nestled in his arms and closed her eyes. On the surface, she looked very calm, but only she knew how
flustered she was deep down.
She didn’t know if she made the right decision today. She also didn’t know if he could really let go of
Laura. But just like she said to Penny, for the sake of the baby, she wanted to give it a try one last time.
“Oh Barret, I gave you everything I have. I hope you won’t make me lose everything,” Jenny said silently in
her heart.
Jenny knew that Laura would definitely not be able to let things slide. She had guessed that Laura would definitely look for her.
However, she did not expect it to be so soon.
“Jenny, let’s meet!” Laura called her and went straight to the point.
“If you want to see me because you want to persuade me to divorce Barret, then save your breath. Barret has already made it
very clear to you. There’s no need for me to repeat myself.”
“You’re wrong. I don’t have any ulterior motives. I just want to ask you out for coffee.”
Laura’s reply came as a complete surprise to Jenny, but she still refused her request. “I’m not free.”
“I’ll be at the same coffee shop. If you don’t come, I’ll go to you myself. Do as you like.”

Jenny was rendered speechless. She had no choice but to change her clothes and take a taxi there. When she got there, Laura
had already ordered coffee.
Laura smiled gently as she drank her coffee. She didn’t look like a woman who had just lost the love of her life at all. Instead, her
face was radiant, and her smile was contagious.
For a moment, Jenny could not figure out what Laura was planning to do. She could only stay vigilant. As
soon as Jenny sat down, Laura handed her an envelope.
“Open it and take a look,” Laura said with a smile.
Jenny held the envelope. The material inside was hard and it felt familiar. She could guess that there were photos inside. If she
was right, it must be photos of Laura and Barret.
Jenny had long known that the two of them had dated and she had heard how sweet they were together from others. However,
hearing about it was one thing. It was another matter when those moments were
captured in a picture and placed in front of her.
She had to admit that she was no longer calm. She felt upset and jealous. Even so, she could not admit
defeat, and she could not let Laura see her fear.
She looked at Laura and smiled faintly. She then pushed the envelope back to her. “That’s okay, I can
guess what’s inside.”
“Since you’ve already guessed it, why can’t open it? Are you scared, Jenny?” Laura asked, taunting her, as she stared straight
into her eyes.
“What a joke, why should I be scared?”
“If you’re not scared, then open it. Jenny, show me that you’re not scared.”
Jenny had to admit that Laura’s words got to her. Moreover, she suddenly had the mad urge to see those photos. She wanted to
see how in love they used to be, how deep and unforgettable the love was that

Barret still couldn’t forget her.
“Okay, I’ll open it.”
Taking a deep breath, Jenny struggled to control her trembling hands. She tore open the envelope and
poured out the photos inside.
There it was, a thick stack of photos.
The photos were scattered all over the floor as she poured them out. When she lowered her head, she
saw the whole history of Laura and Barret together.
They were still young and were both wearing school uniforms.
There were pictures of them standing side by side.
Pictures of them looking at each other and smiling gently.
Pictures of them sitting together in the library, reading.
There was even a picture of Laura standing on tiptoe to kiss Barret under the sunlight.
It turned out that they had a lot of history together, and it all seemed like very beautiful memories.
“If it’s not enough, I still have a lot more at home. Jenny, you clearly know why Barret doesn’t want to get a divorce. I know that
you feel very smug now, but so what? Does he love you? Will you be happy staying in a marriage without love? No matter how
Barret rejects me, I know that I will always have a place in his heart. He can never completely let me go.”
Jenny was really, really close to being defeated by Laura’s words. She was very upset and distressed. She was sad that she
could not be part of Barret’s life when he was young. She was sad that there was someone else in his past.
However, she had to be rational, right?
No one could change their past, time only flowed onward.

Jenny took a deep breath and looked at Laura again. Her eyes became clear and more determined. “So what if everything you
said is true? It’s all in the past. Laura, you have already lost him. Barret is my husband now, and I am his wife. That’s all I need to
know.”
“Really?” Laura sneered, “Jenny, do you want to make a bet with me?”
“What’s the bet?” As if possessed, Jenny agreed.
Seeing Jenny accepted her bet, the corners of Laura’s mouth curled into a determined smile. “Call Barret now and ask him to
come here. And you will know what’s the bet is in five minutes.”
“Okay.” Jenny did as she was told. She sent a message to Barret.
Barret quickly replied, “Okay.”
At the same time, Laura waved over the waiter, “Give me a fruit knife.”
When she got the fruit knife, Laura did not even blink and directly make a cut on her wrist. In an instant, her hand was bleeding
profusely. Soon, Laura’s hand was covered in blood.
Then, she handed the knife to Jenny. “Cut yourself too. I want to see if Barret will carry you to the hospital
or me.”
Jenny took the knife and almost cut her wrist with the knife. She truly was tempted and wanted to know. She didn’t want much,
she just wanted Barret to care about her even just a little. However, the moment the cold knife touched her skin, she suddenly
came back to her senses.
Throwing away the knife, she looked at Laura coldly. “I won’t play this kind of ridiculous game with you. You can play this game
by yourself.”
“Hah...” Laura sneered. “Jenny, in the end, you’re still afraid. You don’t even dare to cut yourself for him, how could you say that
you love him?”
“I love him, but I will not use self-mutilation to win his sympathy. Sympathy is not love.”
Laura laughed at her innocence. “If a man has no sympathy for a woman, then how can he love her?”

Right at this moment, Barret stepped into the coffee shop.
Laura looked at Jenny. “He’s here. I told you that you will lose. Just wait.”
Jenny felt a tremble in her heart for every step Barret took. She was nervous, panicked, and even afraid.
She could feel her heart in her throat.
