Chapter 8
“Miss Welch, what you’re saying is wrong. When it comes to being a mistress, Kevin and I are legally recognized. What do you have? A laughable promise? Kevin probably didn’t even give you that Amelia suddenly grabbed the coffee on the table and tried to throw it at me, but I quickly restrained her.
Miss Welch, this is unbecoming of you”
From the moment we fell in love with the same man, there was no way to remain dignified” Amelia said through gritted teeth.
If there’s no dignity…” I stood up abruptly and splashed the coffee in her hand onto her face. “Then there’s nothing left to say between us”
“Maria! You wretched woman, I’ll fight you”
Amelia was furious, dripping with coffee.
“Amelia, what are you doing?”
Kevin suddenly appeared between us, his eyes full of anger.
“Kevin.” Amelia cried out as soon as she saw him. “Look at me, she did this. You have to stand up for me.
“She threw it on herself and is trying to blame me. I’m not taking the fall for this.
flied with a straight face. Kevin looked at Amelia, his eyes cold. “You threw it on yourself and want to blame Maria? That’s enough. Get out of here and don’t let me see you again.” *Kevin, you never used to be so harsh with me. Now you’re yelling at me for this old hag?”
‘Smack!‘ Kevin slapped her across the face. “Didn’t you hear me? Get out!”
Amelia covered her face and glared at me before running away.
After s
she left, Kevin circled around me several times. “Are you hurt?”
I shook my head.
Kevin was always like this, only caring about where his heart leaned.
As long as he thought he was right, he would hurt someone else without hesitation.
“1 brought the papers. Sign them.”
Kevin’s eyes reddened as he grabbed my hand forcefully. “Maria, is divorce really all we have left to talk about?”
“What else should we talk about? Who’s the mistress, me or Amelia?”
“That’s not what I meant.”
“Then let’s not waste words. You remember what you said before, right? Let’s settle this now that we’re back.”
Wait…”
flooked at him without urging him. “Wait for what?”
Suddenly, Kevin knelt on one knee and took a ring from his pocket. “Maria, marry me again.” stared at the ring in his hand; it was identical to the one he had given Amelia last time. “Kevin, why would I want something that was given to someone else?”
it’s not like that, Maria. I just want you to give me another chance.
Isighed deeply as I looked at him. “I gave you many chances before, but you never cherished them. You were the one who said there were plenty of women in Capital who wanted to be Mrs. Watson. Now I’m willingly giving up that position.”
*m sorry for all the hurtful things I said before. I was young and foolish; I never understood my own heart!”
Young and foolish?
Almost thirty years old and still calling himself young and foolish–doesn’t he find that laughable?
