Chapter 1478

Simona spotted Stephen from a distance. Yet, the moment she saw him, a familiar thought crept back into her mind.

It was an urge that had always pushed her toward Stephen. Yet recently, another voice surfaced in her mind, whispering that she shouldn't trust him. Stephen was a fraud through and through. Images of him cozying up to several women played in her mind again. That inner voice insisted she shouldn't trust him.

In the days following their reconciliation, she had rarely second-guessed him. Yet, those doubts had crept back in over the past two days for reasons she couldn't quite articulate. Now, as she neared Stephen, she felt torn-part of her wanted to trust him, to believe in him again, but an even stronger instinct urged her to examine him more closely.

It was a stark difference from before. Back then, she had felt a desperate need to be close to him, as if delaying even for a moment would cost her something irreplaceable.

Now, it baffled her. She found herself questioning how she had forgiven him so easily. It made no sense to her.
