Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 55

“We didn’t play you. That’s too much; you think I dare to betray you?” I explained, “When Ada came to work at my place, you didn’t even know Bonnie. I’m not a fortune teller. How could I predict this?”

Neil’s face softened a bit, he fell silent, and the atmosphere in the room seemed to suffocate with his silence.

I kept silent too. Everything was out in the open now, and there was nothing more to say.

Finally, Neil got up and said, “Don’t have anything to do with her. Don’t investigate her, don’t get close to her, and pretend nothing else happened.”

“How could I pretend nothing happened?” I retorted. My tone had cooled, indifference filled my eyes as I looked at Neil. “What do you take me for? A fool or a madman? Even the things that have hurt me, I should pretend they didn’t happen. Do you think that’s possible?”

“What do you want then?” Neil stood at the foot of the bed, looking down at me like some high and mighty god as if I was his loyal follower who had worshipped him for ten

years.

I asked him sarcastically, “Neil, are you ready to give in for her? That’s why you went to negotiate personally, which led to me getting hurt too.”

“Yes” Neil’s answer was straightforward, so his hurtful words were also straightforward.

“Since you know everything now, and I know her, and she knows I’m your wife, why don’t we just get a divorce? I’ll give her my place, no hard feelings.” I brought up the divorce again.

In my past life, Neil proposed for a divorce after pursuing Bonnie for a year, but things were different now. He might want to divorce me sooner.

Alicia was right. This man has brought me nothing but suffering!

I need to get away from this disaster and chase a better life.
