"The person he loved all along was me. He doesn't dare to face you because he feels guilty about it."
"But guilty don't equal to love."
"Ms. Ellison, you have to think twice. We are willing to compensate you now because we feel guilty."
"We don't want to deceive you anymore."
"If you have any objections to the division of property, you can raise up. We are willing to do our best to compensate you for your efforts over the past years."
Hearing such a long string of words, I restrained myself and questioned Chasel, "Is what she said true? You've been pretending to love me these years?"
"Yes. I want to live with Serena honorably from now on."
"You are lying."
I calmly tore up the divorce petition.
He didn't even dare to glance at me, and this left me unconvinced.
"Your acting was so poor. When you tell me the truth, I will go to the court with you."
Perhaps seeing that I was stubborn, Chasel took Serena and left without looking back.
Chasel didn't come back for three months.
During that period, I sent him countless messages and called him umpteen times, but there was no response.
I was anxious, guessing if he was really suffering from something or what.
