Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 601

Helen was certain her actions communicated everything she needed to say, leaving her puzzled by Chandler's insistence on seeking verbal affirmation.

"Yes! Helen, I'm not ready to let us go our separate ways. I mean it from the depths of my heart. You're the one I've always seen myself growing old with, the only one I've ever dreamed of marrying.

"I realize it might be hard for you to fully embrace that right now. But please, don't lose faith in what we have. Just give me a bit of time. I promise to do whatever it takes to set things straight."

Chandler's imposing stature contrasted sharply with the desperation in his voice as he implored her.

Locking eyes with Chandler, Helen felt a sudden pang of anguish shot through her heart.

With thoughts of Priscilla lingering in the hospital, Helen longed to reciprocate Chandler's affection with an "I love you too." However, the words seemed trapped in her throat, unable to find release.

"You should go back," Helen said, her tone distant as she dismissed him. "I'll arrange a plane ticket for you tomorrow and personally see you off."

Chandler felt the chill of Helen's demeanor, a pang of hurt piercing him deeper. Nevertheless, he mustered a strained smile and rose from the bed.

Without uttering a single word, he departed from Helen's room.

His mind was filled with confusion, leaving him unable to fully understand her feelings. After all, he had given up so much more than Helen had to be with her.

So, why was she treating him with such coldness?

Returning to his room, Chandler flicked on the light to find Winnie reclining on his bed, clad in a sheer nightgown.

Bathed in the soft glow, she exuded a seductive charm reminiscent of a temptress in a red-light district.

Adjusting his tie, Chandler's lack of interest was evident as he sternly ushered her out. "Leave," he commanded.

Nevertheless, Winnie was unwilling to give up.

Rising from the bed, she approached Chandler with a gentle, persuasive tone. "Chandler, it's clear that Helen doesn't want you. Can't you see that? She's essentially handed you over to me.

"While my family might not have the same prominence as the Spencers, we still hold a respectable position in the Northwest. Trust me, I'm worthy of your affection."

Quickly, he typed a message to Winnie, "Would you consider being my girlfriend?"

Meanwhile, in her room, Winnie was just about to remove Chandler's contact when his message popped up.

She couldn't comprehend why Chandler was reaching out to her once more. Perhaps he felt uncomfortable being at Helen's place, which could explain his reserved demeanor earlier.

With this possibility in mind, Winnie replied playfully, "Obviously! Why else would I showcase my figure?"

To her surprise, Chandler responded, "I can offer you a chance—a three-day trial period."

A trial period to be his girlfriend?

Without much thought, Winnie agreed. "Deal!"

If it meant winning over Chandler, she was all in!
