“I’ve already tore it apart,” shared Shane calmly.

Natalie frowned and asked, “What’s the point? We’ve already reached the point where divorce is the only route. I honestly don’t see any alternatives.”

“Of course there is. I know that I made a mistake earlier and broke your heart because of it.

I can’t pretend that nothing had happened just because the misunderstanding is cleared. Besides, this incident taught me something crucial.”
