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.

Everyone seemed to orbit around them, as if they were the true couple in this scenario.

Especially Talbot, who stood by with a grin on his face, "Aren't they just a match made in heaven? Melanie, don't you think so?"

He asked me if another woman and my husband make a good pair? Seriously?

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.”
