Chapter 369

I felt his body stiffen up. Without allowing him respite for a response, I continued. “When I got married to you, I thought the world of you, like the prince that every girl deserves. It was a blessing, and I will always treasure what we have. That is why I have made my peace with whatever you did with Rebecca all those years ago.

The love I have for you is nowhere near enough to keep me going down this path with you. For that, and everything else, I am sorry.”

I knew that divorce wasn’t the solution, but I really didn’t know what is.
