I Never Regretted Leaving You (Can't Win Me Back)

Chapter 5

Isabella looked at Victoria and replied readily, “If you want him, then take him.”

She said it as if he were a display item on a shelf, available for anyone to claim.

Victoria’s face lit up with joy, and she immediately hugged Nathan tightly.

But her happiness was short–lived.

She quickly realized that Nathan stood stiffly in her embrace, as if he had turned into stone.

Puzzled, she looked up at him and saw that his eyes were fixed on Isabella with an expression so chilling it made her shiver.

“Isabella, you must be delirious from your fever. Do you even know what you’re saying?”

The Isabella of the past loved him to a suffocating degree. She had given up her cherished career to–care for him, endured bitter herbal remedies daily in hopes of bearing his child, and sacrificed her self–respect entirely for his love. She was even nicknamed the “bootlicker wife” by people in the capital.

But now, this same Isabella was speaking of him as though he were an unwanted object to be discarded.

“My fever is gone, and my mind is perfectly clear. I know exactly what I’m saying,” Isabella replied nonchalantly.

Nathan eyed her, his tone uncertain. “No regrets?”

Isabella glanced at the matching couple’s rings on his and Victoria’s fingers and smirked. “Mr. Hill, the matching ring on your left hand is identical to Victoria’s. Since she’s the one you love, why would you think I’d want you? My standards for a partner may not be high, but loyalty is a non–negotiable baseline. I’ll find someone who loves me wholeheartedly and live a steady, happy life. Why should I waste my time on someone like you–unfaithful and unreliable? A man like you, a textbook example of a scumbag–what’s there to miss? Once I recover, I’ll divorce you.”

Nathan looked down at his ring, a flicker of guilt flashing through his eyes.

“You’re misunderstanding. Victoria and I just happened to buy the same ring. This isn’t a couple’s ring,” he explained, pulling it off and slipping it into his pocket
