The CEO's Amazing Ex-Wife Is Back! by H. Dally

Chapter 85

“If you loved me as much as you claim, then my word and my love should’ve been enough to convince you that I could never betray you!”

Kris winced at the sharpness in Thalassa’s voice, each word cutting into him like a knife. The fact that she was doubting the sincerity of his love from years ago twisted the knife even deeper.

He knew he had messed up in more ways than one, and he expected her to be tough on him, but at the same time, he felt like she wasn’t trying to understand him or put herself in his shoes.

His voice heavy with emotion as he said, “I’m sorry, but don’t you think you’re being a little too hard on me?”

Her eyes flashed with disbelief, her lips curling into an incredulous sneer. “I’m sorry, you think I’m being too hard on you?”

“Please hear me out,” Kris said, his tone pleading. “You know I didn’t just blindly believe any evidence against you. I tried everything I could to prove it wrong because I desperately wanted it all to be a lie.”

He paused, searching her face for any sign of softening, but when she remained silent, he pressed on. “Please, try to put yourself in my shoes. You’re about to marry the woman you love, the woman of your dreams, and suddenly, every piece of evidence proves that she’s betrayed you. It shattered me, and I couldn’t have imagined the circumstances behind it.”

“You would’ve discovered those circumstances if you’d just asked me!” Thalassa snapped, her voice rising in her anger. A few people nearby turned to look, but Kris couldn’t care less about them.

Thalassa’s voice grew even sharper. “Why didn’t you show those pictures to me or confront me about them on our wedding day, or at any time during our marriage?”

She let out a bitter laugh, shaking her head. “You ask me to put myself in your shoes? Believe me, I have, and I know without a doubt that if it had been me, it wouldn’t have mattered how much evidence was thrown in my face or how ‘convincing‘ it seemed. The first thing I would’ve done is ask you for your side of the story. That’s what trust is! But no, you were too busy plotting how to make me suffer to even give me a chance to defend myself!”
