Elowen sneered and looked down at me from his height. “You suddenly disappear and unilaterally bring up divorce. It’s because of this man, right?“).
furrowed my brows. “Can you stop involving other people in you anymore. It has nothing to do with Jack.”}
our issues? The e reason I brought up divorce is simply because I don’t love
went to Yvermont to
“I don’t believe it. Why didn’t you bring it up before and only after I kicked you did you suddenly bring it up? Then you we meet him in silence. Isn’t that premeditated? Aren’t you just using what I did to you as an excuse to get rid of me?” My explanation didn’t convince Elowen. He still maliciously speculated about my relationship with Jack.E
I was irritated and stood up, glaring at him. “I’ve told you, this has nothing to do with Jack! Can’t you understand that?“3 Elowen was startled by my sudden movement and looked at my legs in disbelief. “Your legs are they healed?”
“Yeah, now that you see my legs are fine, are you disappointed?”
As soon as I mentioned my legs, memories of that day in the hospital flooded back and a surge of anger rose within me. “Weren’t you worried before that I’d stand in the way of Maya’s future? Now that my legs are fine, aren’t you panicking?”
Flowen’s eyes flickered with guilt for a moment, but he stubbornly retorted, “What are you talking about? Whether your legs are fine or not has nothing to do with Maya. Do you know how worried I’ve been about you lately? I was afraid you’d suffer outside because of your legs and yet here you are…”

i didn’t want to argue with him any further and turned to Jack instead, asking, “Mr. Jack, are you full?“!!
Jack, being a smart man, quickly picked up on the tension between Elowen and me and nodded in agreement. “I’m full. Let’s head back.” I tried to walk past Elowen, but he grabbed my arm, pulling me back.
“Callista, stop making a scene, okay? I promise I won’t lay a hand on you again. If you forgive me, I won’t care about your relationship with this man. We can go back to how things were before,” he said, his voice laced with condescension, as if he were offering me a chance to return to our old life.!!
In the five years we were together, his attitude never changed. He said he loved me, but it always felt like he was doing me a favor by being with me. His love seemed empty and unreal, like it wasn’t truly there.
I had been blinded by love, but now I saw it for what it really was..
I shrugged off his hand and said coldly. “Im serious, I don’t love you anymore. I want a divorce,”
Elowen’s face turned pale and before he could say anything, Jack stepped in front of him.
Jack gave him a half–smile and said, “When she says she doesn’t love you anymore, stop pestering her. It only makes you look like a simp.”
