Chapter 70: While Others Jump, They Make Out Sonya turned to Henry, who was still reading.
“Reynolds Hui’s going to jump.”
“She won’t,” Henry said, without looking up.
“What if she does?”
“She won’t.”
Sonya smacked his head.“Hurry up! Don’t let anything happen!”
Urged by Sonya, Henry went upstairs to change.

“I’ll go. You shouldn’t go out; your face needs to stay out of the wind,” Henry said.
“If you go alone, you might accidentally provoke her into jumping. It’s fine. I’ll cover my face with a scarf.”
Henry hugged Sonya.“Fine. But let me kiss you first.”
“Your niece is about to jump, can you be serious for once?!”
When they reached the rooftop of the Qingshan Hotel, Reynolds Hui was already there, shivering in the cold wind. Seeing them, she stood up and walked towards the edge, adopting a tragic pose.
“I don’t want to live anymore! No one loves me! I’m jumping! I’m taking my baby with me!” She paused, clearly reciting a prepared speech.“Uncle, Aunt Ella, please take care of my funeral arrangements. I…”
“Okay,” Henry replied, arms crossed.
Reynolds Hui’s eyes widened.“Henry, you’re heartless!”
“Try calling me by my name again,” Henry challenged, raising an
Reynolds Hui shrank back.“Uncle, I’m really hurting.”
“Serves you right!”
“You… you’re so cruel…”
Reynolds Hui sobbed, then looked at Sonya.
eyebrow.
“Aunt Ella, you’re kind. When you arrange my funeral, can you do my makeup? I don’t want to scare anyone.
Sonya twitched.“That’s the mortician’s job.”
“Waaah, Aunt Ella, you’re as heartless as Uncle!”
“Um… why don’t you tell us what happened? Maybe we can help, and you won’t have to jump.”
“You can’t help me.”
“How do you know unless you tell us?”
Wiping her tears, Reynolds Hui said, “Before I jumped, I called you and Xiao Jingchuan. You both came, but he didn’t. He doesn’t want me anymore!”
Sonya whispered to Henry, “Who’s Xiao Jingchuan?”

Her boyfriend. The father of her baby,” Henry gritted his teeth.
Sonya breathed a sigh of relief.“Maybe he can’t get here right now?”
“Huh?” Reynolds Hui looked confused.

“From Olivor City, even at top speed, it’ll take at least three hours, right?” Reynolds Hui blinked.“Right.”
“It’s pretty cold up here. Why don’t we go back inside and wait for him?” “I’m still going to jump!”
“You’re jumping for him, not for us. Why don’t you come back up when he’s almost here?”
“No!”
Think about it. If someone sees you, they’ll call the police. They’ll take photos, post them online, it’ll go viral, and your parents will find out.” Sonya paused for effect.“By the way, your parents don’t know you’re pregnant, right?”
At the mention of her parents, Reynolds Hui took a few steps back, fearing she’d be photographed. After a moment’s hesitation, she walked over.
“Then… I’ll go back inside and wait for him.”
Henry, still simmering, smacked the back of her head.
“You’re such a drama queen!”
Going downstairs, Reynolds Hui saw Sonya’s scarf and asked what happened.
Sonya explained the taro cake allergy. Reynolds Hui was furious.
“Uncle is biased! I’m the one who likes taro cake. You didn’t give me any, only Aunt Ella!”
Henry glanced at Reynolds Hui.“Oh, right. You like taro cake.”
Sonya laughed.“What kind of memory do you have? You could get that wrong?”
Henry chuckled nervously.“Taro is banned in my house. I won’t eat it either.”
Reynolds Hui scoffed.“What did taro ever do?”
Back in the room, Sonya learned the whole story. Reynolds Hui met Xiao Jingchuan in college, they fell in love, and she got pregnant.
Feeling guilty, she didn’t come home for Henry’s wedding.
When Henry went to Olivor City on business, Reynolds’s older brother and sister–in–law asked him to check on Reynolds Hui. He discovered she was skipping classes, living with her boyfriend. Worse, she was pregnant.
Henry brought Reynolds Hui to the hotel and kept Xiao Jingchuan away. After work, he brought her back to Cloud City.
Reynolds Hui pleaded with him not to tell her parents.
Henry didn’t want her to face this alone, so he told Xiao Jingchuan that if he was a man and wanted to be responsible, he should come to Cloud City and talk to her parents.
“I gave him three days. Today’s the third day,” Henry said.
Sonya understood. Xiao Jingchuan hadn’t contacted her, so Reynolds Hui resorted to this.

“He’s not coming,” Henry said.
He will! Reynolds Hui yelled.

“Be realistic! If a man has any responsibility, he would have stepped up the day I took you away, not disappear!”
“You don’t know him! You can’t say he’s irresponsible!”
“You…”
“Enough!” Sonya interrupted.“It’s just today. We’ll wait with her.”
“Waaah, Aunt Ella is the best!”
Reynolds Hui hugged Sonya. She was truly upset and started crying again.
Henry ignored her, went to the bathroom, got a hot towel, and wiped Sonya’s face, then applied
ointment,
“You still have the ointment,” Sonya said, tilting her head up. She’d forgotten it when leaving.
“Mm–hm. Still itchy?”
“Much better.”
Sonya watched Henry apply the ointment, mesmerized by his handsome face, beautiful eyes, perfect nose, full lips, and flawless skin…
Henry smirked.“Want this?”
“Huh?”
He kissed her lips.“This.”
Sonya blushed. Reynolds Hui was still crying.
Henry kissed her again.“I know you want it.”
Reynolds Hui cried loudly.“Can you consider my heartbreak? Don’t make out in front of me Waaah, let me jump. I don’t want to live anymore!”
