Bella pursed her lips, a hint of subtle grievance shining through her expression. "But at that time, we had just divorced, and I was so angry whenever I saw you. Seeing you upset actually made me feel a bit relieved. I thought I was different from other women. I thought I could move on easily after the divorce.
