The Marriage She Turned into War novel Chapter 323

I had expected Abigail to be furious, perhaps even start an argument with me, but to my surprise, she didn't do that.

Instead, she looked at me calmly, holding back her temper to try and soothe my emotions.

"Samuel, don't be like this, okay? I really didn't mean to lie to you. I love you… I really do. Keeping you by my side was never to torment you. Please believe me, alright?"

Each and every word she said was spoken with utmost seriousness. However, to my ears, they sounded absolutely absurd.

Yes, I would not deny that leaving Abigail and walking away back then was my fault. However, for all these years, she has kept me by her side, using every opportunity to humiliate and torment me.

To be honest, I had long repaid every debt I owed her by now. Should someone who made a mistake be given the chance to make amends? If not, wouldn't that be far too harsh?

After this ordeal, I'd become immune to Abigail's words. From now on, whatever she wished to say or do, she could go ahead. I no longer cared where she went, nor did I want to hear her ridiculous justifications.

Just then, she suddenly looked at me with tenderness in her eyes.

She gently took my hand and spoke in a soft tone, "Samuel, please don't overthink. I've long since stopped having feelings for Joshua. The person I love now is you—only you. My concern for Joshua is purely as friends.

"After all, he was injured because of us. It's only natural for me to check in on him. It also spares us from being criticized by others, doesn't it?"
