Chapter 435 The Final Time

Lenora was furious.

As a married couple, she hoped that whether it was in joy or sorrow, adversity or prosperity, Zachary would communicate with her, respect her choices, and support each other. Instead, he kept everything from her, presumptuously arranging everything for her as if she

were a machine meant only to comply.

He didn't trust her at all, always acting solely based on his own thoughts and proceeding unilaterally.

Her words were meant to stab Zachary right in the heart.

She needed him to understand the gravity of the situation and change his domineering habits.

Moreover, she wanted him to feel the pain she endured back then.

Lenora had succeeded.

Zachary was heartbroken.

He stood there in a daze, staring at her intently, his face pale as a sheet. His lips trembled slightly, but no words came out.

It felt like his heart was being slashed apart, piece by piece, leaving only a bloody mess behind.

"Nora, do you really not want me anymore?" he asked hoarsely, his voice low and pleading, like sand scraping against his throat.

Lenora's fingers curled slightly at her side as she lowered her gaze. "It's not that I don't want you, Zachary. You're the one who pushed me away."

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have kept things from you, shouldn't have made decisions on my own. Nora, please give me another chance, will you?"

"I've already given you plenty of chances, Zachary, but you squandered every single one. What more do you want from me?"

Zachary froze. Closing his eyes briefly, he took a deep breath and spoke with a resolute tone, as if facing his doom. "This is the last time, I promise. If I ever do anything to disappoint you again, I'll never bother you again!"

"No, Zachary. I won't believe you anymore. What makes you think I'd wait for you? I'm sorry, but I already have a boyfriend, and I'm about to start a new life. So, please, go back and pretend I never existed." With that, Lenora turned and walked away.
