Chapter 525
There we go again, he said he didn’t love her anymore!
She had grasped the message in his heart, so why did he insist on repeating it over and over?
He was always like this vacillating, tormenting her to her very soul!
Marguerite bit her lower lip fiercely, feeling a tumultuous ache in her chest, “I get it, you don’t need to tell me every
single day. It’s exhausting for me to
hear!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe atmosphere in the car took a sudden nosedive into awkward silence after Marguerite spat out those words.
Both of them seemed upset, yet neither understood what they were really angry about.
So what if Frederick didn’t love her? Wasn’t it enough that she loved him?
But that confession, Marguerite could never muster the courage to voice it out loud.
Most of the time, Marguerite despised herself for not being as bold as someone like Miley, who charged headfirst
into love, recklessly pursuing the one she cherished.
It wasn’t like she hadn’t tried.
Lately, she’d been desperately clinging to him, in a manner so demeaning it almost stripped her of her dignity.
But what she received in return was only neglect and agony.
Perhaps she was never meant to be strong. From her earliest memories, she’d been hurt too much, too deeply; her
spirit was scarred beyond recognition.
So, to protect her battered heart, she chose to run away, time and time again.
If Frederick hated her, she’d stop chasing. If he wanted to torment her, she’d hide away.
Her love for him, that profound affection, would be forever concealed within the depths of her heart.
And so be it. She was tired, too.
Letting go of Frederick meant freeing herself; it was the best outcome.
In the backseat, Marguerite occupied the left while Frederick took the right. Unspoken words hung between them,
creating a divide that neither seemed willing to bridge.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut Teresa, sitting between them, looked from one to the other, feeling like she was sitting on pins and needles.
Daddy had just said he didn’t love Mommy anymore. That simply wouldn’t do!
If Daddy didn’t love Mommy, how could she tell them the truth of her origin?
Involuntarily, Teresa’s thoughts drifted to a month ago when she had used a strand of Daddy’s hair for a DIY
paternity test. If she brought out the test results, revealing to Frederick that she too was his child, would that make
Daddy fall back in love with Mommy?
Teresa was conflicted; she had guarded this secret for a whole month!
It was suffocating her, and each time she wanted to reveal it, something made her hesitate.
But this time, she couldn’t hold it in any longer!
She decided to come clean to Frederick, then figure out the next steps.
