The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chatper 149

Chapter 149

After all, it was her second time around the block.

To walk away and start over would mean a third attempt at matrimonial bliss.

A second marriage aiready takes guts, and the thought of facing the social pressure that comes with another divorce was daunting.

Young people might not think much of it, but for parents, the weight of such matters is no small burden.

Jocelyn thought Quinta had a pretty carefree take on life. If things weren’t working out, there was no shame in calling it quits. But the general consensus was to make do, to try and stick it out, and to promote reconciliation over separation.

Jocelyn didn’t press the issue, just said, “Do whatever feels right for you.”

Quinta nodded.

As they got into the car, Jocelyn recalled something Quinta had said before whether you’re married or single, you’ll regret anyway.

It’s kind of addictive, really. When you’re single you long for partnership. And once hitched, you pine for solitude. In truth, if two people are happy together, that’s all that matters. If not, parting ways isn’t the end of the world.

If a relationship is solid, it doesn’t need the crutch of marriage. If it’s not, marriage would just be a shackle for both parties.

It seemed that she was no longer that keen on marriage.

In the car, Daisy whispered to Jocelyn, “Your aunt told me Quinta and Damian are on the rocks again.” Jocelyn stayed silent with her head bowed.

“What is all this toil for? Daisy shook her head, “Your uncle’s all about keeping up appearances. He’s been teaching his whole life, working hard to see Quinta succeed professionally. But now her marriage…”
