Twisted Ties of Love (Izabella Salotti and Brett) novel Chapter 165

"Pull over."

After the driver parked the car, Brett opened the door and got out, holding an umbrella.

The rainy night sky was pitch black, and the drizzle fell like silk under the dim streetlights. Kaley was wearing a knee-length skirt, showing off her slender legs. She shivered as the cold air crept up her legs and spread throughout her body.

"What are you doing here?"

Brett's voice cut through the air with an icy chill, matching the wintry gusts outside. Kaley felt a wave of sorrow well up in her eyes. When had Brett transformed into this indifferent person?

The same man who used to hold her hand and offer warmth when she was cold now simply inquired, "What are you doing here?"

"I have something important to tell you," Kaley replied, her voice strained and barely audible. She cleared her throat and mustered the courage to ask, "May I come in?"

Brett cast a glance at the villa. The light was on inside, as usual, but it wasn't left on by Izabella.

With a grunt of acknowledgement, Brett turned and headed towards the door.

Kaley had been squatting under the eaves for so long that her legs were numb. Seeing that Brett had no intention of helping her, she quickly followed him inside, limping in her high heels.

Kaley closed the door, took off her high heels, and expertly took a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet to put on.

Jennifer had already gone to rest, and there was no one in the living room, making it seem very empty. Brett poured two cups of water and handed one to Kaley as she entered.

"Thanks." Kaley's health wasn't great, and she felt a little dizzy after being out in the cold for hours.

After staying in the warm room for a while, her body warmed up considerably.

"Brett, Izabella doesn't love you anymore, and it's clear she wants a divorce. Why don't you agree? Or have you fallen in love with her?"

"I haven't." Brett blurted out without even thinking.

"Then tell me what you're thinking. Why not divorce her and keep her by your side? Do you know how sorrowful I am?"

"Do you know what people online are saying about me? That I'm the mistress who ruined your relationship? And that I'm a secret lover who can't be seen? But why? I've always been the one with you. Wasn't it you who promised to take care of me and marry me? Or were those just lies?" Kaley's eyes welled up with tears as she fired questions at him.

Brett stared silently at the cup on the coffee table. "If you feel so torn, then let's just end it."

The bright lights of the living room only served to accentuate the feeling that there was nowhere for emotions to hide.
