CHAPTER 69 Selena accompanied Rebecca to her room and went a step further to talk to her in private in the room.

“You don’t look happy, Rebecca,” she said. “And that’s a clear sign that this marriage isn’t working. It never has. You guys never spent quality time together, so obviously, he doesn’t really try to help you when you’re in need. That’s the kind of husband you’ve chosen.”

“Mom, can you please leave me alone?” Rebecca said.

“Fine, but take a good rest and think. Use this time to come to a decision,” Selena said and walked out. Benjamin was outside, looking unhappy and tense. She tried to start a conversation, but he ignored her and walked past her.

We never spent quality time together. That’s why I got angry at him so easily.” She got off the bed and walked out with the help of the walking stick. However, Benjamin was nowhere to be seen. “Mm? Where did he go? He said he would be here…” her heart suddenly skipped at the thought of him going after a maid.
