Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 234

Unexpectedly, her thoughts drifted to Julian's mother, Nathaniel's sister. A woman infamous for having ended her husband's life, which landed her in prison for six years.

When Miranda and she had talked about it before, she had sworn she'd never do such a thing. It just wasn't worth it, she had said. Why ruin a perfectly good life over one man?

Yet, not long after that conversation, her own husband ended up in the hospital, thanks to a violent encounter with her, clinging to life by a thread.

What a mess!

Despite everything, she didn't think she was entirely at fault. If Lysander hadn't pushed her so hard, she wouldn't have reacted the way she did. She had wanted to discuss a divorce like reasonable adults.

She was still young, didn't want to end up in jail, and certainly didn't want the burden of a death on her conscience.

The weight of these thoughts made it hard to enjoy breakfast, no matter how delicious it looked.
