Chapter456
“Beth, we were so tired like this. You didn’t want to bring up the
past or talk about it, and I didn’t force you. Let’s look forward.
This week, we just stayed here, as a make–up honeymoon for
you. You could go anywhere you wanted to have fun, okay?”
He was good at holding her back.
Without an ID card, she couldn’t go anywhere.
Except compromise, only compromise.
“Terrence, can you feel even a little bit now why I had to get a
divorce?”
Terrence’s jaw tightened, he knew what she meant.
“I held you back just because I didn’t want a divorce, can you
understand that, even a little? Beth, since the day I married you,
I never thought about divorce. If you had given me a chance to
explain, I wouldn’t have ended up like this. I always felt like
something was wrong between us. Can we just go through
things one by one and talk everything out?”
“Mr. McConnell.”
Chapter456
She changed her words again and called him Mr. McConnell.
She looked at the man she used to be crazy about and love
deeply and said, “Disappointment builds up little by little. You
can’t get hope back just by checking things off one by one. Ever
since you took Krista to that parent–child event, all I feel for you is disappointment. Stop doing these pointless things. I only gave
you seven years of my life.”
Terrence was confused, “Why could it only be seven years?”
Bethany said calmly, “Because time has passed, even if you want
it, you can’t get it back.”
Including the four years she had a crush on him, it was a total of
eleven years.
I only ever loved one person with all my heart.
I guess I kind of wrapped things up with my first love.
Anything, I was just afraid it had a beginning but no end.
A start without a result ended up as regret.
With a result, whether it was good or bad, at least one thing
came to an end.
It was like having a crush on Terrence.
Chapter456
If there was never any result, she might have lost even more
time and kept wondering over and over, would he ever fall in
love with me?
I kept giving myself hope and kept wearing myself out with
these kinds of guesses.
The answer was out, the result was set.
Win or lose, it all came to an end.
It didn’t affect future choices anymore.
Life was too short and couldn’t stand being wasted over and
over.
Terrence’s eyes got a shade darker, showing a hint of real
discomfort.
It sounded like he was worthless, like the seven years with him
meant nothing.
“Beth…”
“Mr. McConnell.” She wanted to say something, but he
interrupted her again, “Give me your ID and passport.””
They weren’t in the country, they were abroad.
Chapter456
A passport without an ID card, how could it have gotten here.
Just now, she didn’t want to call him out, she just wanted him to
know why she insisted on getting a divorce.
Krista’s existence was the beginning.
The inequality between them and all the ways he handled
things were the last straw that broke her.
He never respected her wishes.
Even if he said he would change.
His actions, though, never showed any intention to change.
Between her and him, it was always her below, him on top.
All his humility, basically, he was still in a high position.
The difference in family background, the gap in status, and
everything she gave without asking for anything in these seven years could never bring them closer or make them see things
the same way.
