Was she wavering?

Backing down? Hesitating?

It seemed so.

When that answer appeared in her mind, Aveline realized that her persistence all along had indeed become a joke.

Reflecting on the past, there were moments of pain, but also moments of care. Why had she insisted on divorce so stubbornly?

Perhaps it was the repeated lack of trust, the stark contrast between who he was before and who he became after regaining his memory and identity. He was no longer the same man she once loved so deeply. His entanglements with other women, and his desire to repay favors, all while ignoring her role in his life.

Those disappointments eventually turned into despair. She didn't want to hold on anymore, and that was why she sought a divorce.

Her heart, once filled with love for him, had gradually dried up like a riverbed cracked with fissures, and every time she thought about it, the pain became unbearable.

She just didn't want to feel that pain any longer.

Her thoughts were chaotic, but she finally understood the reasoning behind them. Divorce was merely a step toward starting anew, toward a better life.

For both of them, it would be a good thing.

So yes, the wavering was real, the worry was real, and the desire for divorce was real too.
