Chapter 110
His breath quickened. His hands clenched into fists.
Trying to suppress his emotions, Damien softened his tone and said, “Let Julian come out. I need to talk to him. This … this has nothing to do with you. You’re just the assistant.”
Elizabeth’s expression didn’t change as she spoke, “Mr. Weston isn’t in the office. You’ll need an appointment.“}
Then, she looked Damien straight in the eye.
“You’ve been with Amelia for five years. If anyone should know how she got your signature, it’s you.“}
After that, Elizabeth let the silence hang for a beat before her voice turned serious as she continued to speak, “Whatever anger you feel, it won’t change the fact that your marriage is over.“}
“Damien, if you still like Amelia, then act like a man and cut off all those meaningless relationships around you. But if you don’t-”
She gave him a long, meaningful look.
“Just let her go.“Z
“Let her go?” Damien repeated what Elizabeth said, flinching as if someone had stepped on his tail.

After that, she snarkily made a remark by saying, “As the man who’s shared a bed with her for years, you should already know how to contact her.“2
Damien clenched his jaw. He thought about it. For five years, Amelia had lived a quiet, simple life. She had no parties, no extravagant hobbies, only a small circle of friends.}
And suddenly, it struck Damien. He didn’t know any of them. Not a single one. Besides her parents, there was no one he could turn to. How had it come to this?}
After five years of marriage, he knew nothing about her social life, nothing about her inner world. But Amelia had known everything about him. His favorite coffee. His friends‘ birthdays. Even Victoria’s favorite colors and perfumes.
But what did Damien know about Amelia? Could he really go to the Heartford Family and face her parents now? How could he, after all of
this?
The weight in Damien’s chest grew heavier.>
He had lost his wife. And for the first time, he was beginning to realize just how much she had quietly given and how little he had ever given back. It was too late.
