My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage by Eva Blackwood

Chapter 824

Chapter 824:

There was no such thing as perfection. No matter how wealthy or handsome a man was, what good was any of it if he was mentally unstable?

The women who had once gazed at Aliza with envy now regarded her with a strange mix of pity and satisfaction. Wealth and good looks meant nothing if they came with a man whose mind was a ticking time bomb. What if one day this man lost control completely? What if he had an attack in the dead of night, his strong hands wrapping around her throat before she could even scream?

Aliza noticed the shift in the atmosphere and felt her face heat with embarrassment. She looked at Kristopher—his shirt damp, his expression weary—and for the first time, she felt something close to resentment. “Forget it,” she muttered, standing up. “We’re done here. Go pay for my dress, and then we’ll go home.”

Aliza crossed her arms, impatience creeping into her voice. She had known that his relapses would be an issue, but seeing him like this—vulnerable, disheveled, and completely unlike the man she had attached herself to—filled her with doubt.
