When Love Becomes a Cage by Nora

Chapter 157



I became a third wheel when I was on an on-site investigation with Clyde and Lisa.

It was hard to tell if they were just putting on a show or if they had genuinely fallen into their roles, completely ignoring my existence as Mrs. Patterson.

But I choked down my words, making him believe that Clyde and I would never reconcile. It made him act all the more recklessly. Seeing my mood sour, his grin widened.

"Melanie, you're still young. Remarriage is quite common these days. No need to fret."

"Clyde's clearly over you, and I think it would be less painful to just accept it sooner rather than later.”

"And don't worry about being left out in the cold after your divorce. Talbot's got your back. With Talbot's support, what's there to fear?"
