When Fate Intervenes (Giselle and Anthony) novel Chapter 16

They reached an intersection with traffic lights just then. So, Anthony stopped the car and fixed Giselle with an intense gaze.

"I'm not unsatisfied with that. If you really insist on getting a divorce, I don't even mind if you ask for all of my money and assets in compensation.

"I'm not trying to threaten you either. I just have a lot of unanswered questions, and I'm feeling a little upset. That's all."

Giselle seemed quite shocked upon hearing Anthony say that he was a little upset.

"What are you upset about? Are you upset because I've tricked you into signing the papers? Or is it because I brought up divorce first?"

"That's not why I'm upset, Giselle."

Anthony chuckled bitterly as he took in the confused look on her face. There was a perplexing hint of dejection in his deep voice.

"I'm upset because you've misunderstood me. I'm upset because you won't even allow me a chance. I'm also upset because you and I will become complete strangers with this."

Giselle fell silent.

She did not really understand what Anthony was trying to say.

Anthony was supposed to be secretly in love with Melanie for many years. After Giselle divorced him, he should be proposing to Melanie right away.

Giselle could not understand why he was saying all these things to her in such a misleading tone of voice now.

Her silence offered Anthony a chance to share his true thoughts and feelings.

"Giselle, I've found out why you want to leave me after watching the video. You think I still like Melanie. Am I right?"

"It's true, isn't it?"

Her asking Anthony the question made him feel even more sorry.

He tried to suppress the sadness growing in him. His voice was soft, yet he spoke with remorse and total sincerity.

"I'm sorry. There were things I should've explained to you early on. Yet, I kept putting off doing it. You had that misunderstanding and were upset because of it for so long.
