Divorce Anxiety

Chapter 429 Broke Your Promise

Kathleen was surprised as the Richard she knew did not seem to be such a person.

“He may have reasons for doing so,” she comforted.

“It’s been one year since he proposed to me.” Gemma felt helpless. “Forget it. I feel upset whenever I bring him up. I’m going back to work.”

Kathleen walked along with her. “Perhaps, you can ask him.”

“I’m scared the outcome will be bad if I do.” Gemma lowered her head. “Kate, I’m terrified we’ll break up because of this.”

Kathleen took hold of Gemma’s hand and consoled, “Don’t overthink this. Richard has always been reliable, so I guess he has his reasons. Why don’t you give him a little more time?”

“All right.” The latter nodded, though a little confused. “How long should I give him, though?”

“This depends on you,” Kathleen explained. “After all, everyone’s tolerance and endurance toward this matter are different.”

“Kate, what if it were you?” Gemma asked out of curiosity.

“I…” Kathleen paused for a moment before continuing, “If I encountered something like this, I suppose I would be in the same state as you.”

Gemma looked toward the woman. “Didn’t you and Samuel reconcile already? Why do I feel like something happened between you two?”

“Well, not exactly.” Kathleen flashed a half-smile. “However, everyone has troubles that can’t be shared even with their loved ones. Thus, we need to give them time to decide if they want to tell us.”

“Kate, you seem to have returned to your past self,” Gemma remarked while staring at Kathleen.

My past self?

“How was I like before?” the latter asked bitterly.

“You would endure many things in the name of love. It’s exactly how you are right now.”

“I would feel frustrated when I endured something back then. However, it’s different now as my tolerance is due to maturity,” Kathleen elucidated. “People change, after all.”

After all, she was not the type to immediately tell Samuel if she had a secret either.

Gemma nodded. “True. Everyone changes.”

Kathleen smiled.

“We don’t have anything going on at night, so why don’t we go out and have a drink?”
