The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow by Helena R. Bates

Chapter 145

Judson listened to Nancy, feeling a bit down. "Yeah, I know."

Nancy quickly leaned in, curiosity sparking in her eyes. "You know? Did you remember something?" she asked eagerly.

Judson let out a heavy sigh. "Do I need to remember something to know that? Nancy, that crazy guy kept shouting he was your husband, which means you two had a thing in the past-he's your ex-boyfriend." Nancy's fingers twitched at the mention of Cyrus, the guy who really did seem as unhinged as Judson described.

"Nancy, don't worry about it. Everyone's dated a few losers in their younger days. I'm an understanding guy; just don't leave me, alright?"

Judson lifted Nancy's hand to her mug of hot chocolate. "Don't worry, ex-boyfriends have nothing on current husbands. If he comes around again, I'll just show him the door!"

Nancy sighed with a hint of frustration. "Judson, is it possible that you might not actually be my current husband?"

Judson's frustration was clear as he confronted Nancy. "Nancy, not this again!" he said, clearly upset. "You're my wife. Don't play games with me just because I'm having trouble with my memory. Or... are you thinking of leaving with him now that he's shown up?"

Nancy sensed the tension in Judson's words. She blurted out, "I'd never go with him."
