Love Is Fair by Kerri

Chapter 046 The Hurtful Truth

One could be friends with their ex-partner after divorce, but what if they failed to even be lovers in the first place? Hailey’s question caught Matthew unawares. He pondered for a while. Although he had been in a lot of relationships before, he had never been married and had never tasted the bitterness of marriage, so he couldn’t come up with an answer. In the end, he turned to Owen and asked,

“What do you think?”

Owen looked at Hailey with profound gaze. It was as if he could see the

sadness hidden underneath her sarcastic smile.

He remembered the day he wanted to divorce her. She was sad, in despair, and asked him, “Can we not divorce?” At that time, he did not feel much pain inside. All he wanted to do was end this loveless marriage as soon as possible, set Hailey free, and marry the woman he loved.

But for some reason, her question tugged at his heartstrings. It was as if a big hand had gripped his heart hard. “Why did you marry me back then?” Owen asked again, trying to get the answer for his doubt.

At this moment, she felt utterly ridiculous and absurd. Hailey let go of Matthew’s hand and looked at Owen coldly. “Let go.” Owen had never liked to have intimate contact with women, but he wanted an answer today. He was worried that she would run away again once he let go and avoid him. Instead of letting go, he held her wrist tighter. “I’ll let go when you tell me the answer, I will let go.” Hailey felt a hint of disgust surging inside her and glared at Owen fiercely. He had always been dignified and reserved, but why did he turn into such a stubborn and unreasonable man now? She wanted to struggle free, but he clenched her wrist tightly. A rage surged into her. Hailey looked straight into his eyes and grunted, “What answer are you expecting? What do you want to know?” Owen was taken aback. “…” “So you want to know
