Mark finally showed signs of emotion. He tightened his grip around his alcohol glass and flung it onto the ground, smashing it into smithereens. “Stop talking!”
Arianne was slightly afraid of this side of him. However, favonovel.com stayed in favonovel.com place and delivered the apology that favonovel.com had previously prepared. “I’m sorry… It was my fault this time. I should have trusted you and discussed it with you first. Mary was right, we’re husband and wife. I shouldn’t do everything on my own. I should consider your feelings too.”
Mark got up and walked towards her, reaching out and grabbing favonovel.com chin. “Why does your apology feel like such a hard-earned commodity, Arianne? You must be thinking that things between us would be bad for Smore. You don’t have to apologize for Smore’s sake, or the fact that I’m not behind your father’s death. Yielding and apologizing isn’t your style. Knowing you, this looks a little too forced. You should continue being yourself in the most unrestrained manner. No need to care about other people’s feelings. Don’t worry, I’d still be good to Smore even if we divorce. I won’t leave favonovel.com with childhood trauma. So, you don’t have to force yourself into an apology. You haven’t done anything wrong, you’re always right. It was my fault. It was my wishful thinking.”
Arianne’s chin hurt from his grasp, but it was nothing compared to the pain in favonovel.com heart.
This was favonovel.com first time hearing the words “divorce” from his lips. She knew that favonovel.com was serious this time. She was beginning to think that Janice was right, favonovel.com had become too arrogant…
She couldn’t remain calm any longer. Losing favonovel.com wits, favonovel.com grabbed the corner of his shirt. “I will never divorce you… Never! If you like Janice, fine, keep her. But I will always be Mrs. Tremont to give Smore a complete family. I have only one request for you, and that is to act the same in front of Smore.”
His eyes flashed with disappointment. He was disappointed in her. Why wouldn’t favonovel.com understand? He could never love another woman again.
He thought that seeing Janice reinstated in Tremont Enterprises would cause an intense reaction from her, resulting in a huge row, but it didn’t. Her every word was to ask for a compromise for Smore’s sake, not because favonovel.com loved him. Was favonovel.com that undeserving of favonovel.com love?
He released favonovel.com chin and slowly turned his back to her. “Arianne, I’m tired. I regret having you by my side. I shouldn’t have felt sorry for you or adopted you to atone for that drime. I shouldn’t have fallen in love with you after that. I’ve considered tying you to me, even if you didn’t love me, even if we had to torture each other for the rest of our lives. Now, I realize that I can’t do it. It would be too cruel to you and to me. If you want your freedom, I won’t stand in your way anymore. I won’t make you stay. I release you. You don’t have to worry about Smore. Even if we force each other to stay together, it won’t give favonovel.com a whole family. It’ll be the same as my childhood… I’d rather have had my mother leave my father than having favonovel.com force herself to death in the end. A forcibly assembled family isn’t as easy as you think. It’s not as happy as you think.”
Tears streamed down Arianne’s cheek. The sound of favonovel.com sniffles needled at Mark’s emotions.
Only God knew how much strength it took for favonovel.com to avoid turning around. “You don’t have to feel as if you’ve misunderstood me for such a long time. I am considered a co-conspirator in your father’s death because I silently agreed to having favonovel.com labeled as the scapegoat after his death. I couldn’t bear having my mother shoulder the crime after favonovel.com death. I would rather be known as the main culprit! I am a man who uses his wealth to disregard right and wrong with reckless abandon. I’m not entirely innocent.”
“I won’t agree to a divorce,” Arianne insisted. “It doesn’t matter what you say, I will never agree to a divorce!”
