“Why should a wife have to be practical and economical? Just because she’s already married, does that mean she doesn’t deserve to be cherished?”

Jensen’s question was aimed at the florist, but it echoed in his own mind as well.

Why had he neglected Natalie so badly?

Wasn’t it because he knew she loved him so deeply, that she would never leave him, and so he took that love for granted and hurt her without restraint?

That was the true reason he and Natalie had drifted

The florist hadn’t expected Jensen to be so romantic. His eyes crinkled into a smile.

“Of course, sir. You’re a wonderful man. To be your wife must be pure happiness.”

The words stung Jensen, sounding more like irony than praise. He opened his mouth to reply when he caught a fleeting glimpse of a familiar figure outside.

His brows knit tightly.

He immediately followed.
