She smirked and said “you sound scared,Sophia” “I’m angry,” I corrected.“and irritated.” There was an awkward silence. Ava took a long sip from her drink. “You don't have a child with him and I guess that's what really bothers you, isn't it?” “And that the woman that has long been forgotten gave him what you couldn't “ I blinked repeatedly to prevent my tears from falling.”Children don't hold marriages. Love does. Respect does. Honesty does. Loyalty does,which we both have and these have kept us going all these years. It's obvious you don't have them.”

I murmured as I'd rehearsed; I'd sat in my dream hotel room, in front of my dream mirror and rehearsed a dream speech I was going to make to this dream lawyer. I wanted to tell someone, though. I wanted to scream to someone, anyone, that my wife was having an affair ... with her brother. If this were truly a nightmare, it shouldn't matter, should it? I loved my wife, though. Still. Even in a dream, I couldn't do that to her. I wouldn't do that to her. "Of course," he murmured, obviously disappointed in my answer. "That's probably everyone's favorite ... especially when they're not really sure why they're getting divorced."

It was one I also needed clarity on. I tapped my finger lightly against the table. “Now we reach the final part. The matter of intimacy.” His expression shifted. There was no surprise on his face, like he was expecting it. I folded my hands. “Is physical intimacy something you want in this marriage?” He studied me for a long moment, his gaze holding more than he said. “No.” The clarity of his answer almost shocked me, not because he rejected it, but because he did it without hesitation.

If intimacy ever happens between us, it would only

Her anger was already too big. Only Louis dared to act. He moved a little closer to her, whispering, "Ace, have you ever loved me?" Grace frowned. "Does it matter?" Everyone was stunned. Even Louis sighed in disbelief. "So you don't love me?" he concluded in a low tone. "You don't love me either. Does it matter? I don't think so. Our relationship wasn't built on love from the start," Grace shrugged, as if indifferent. Her words were curt. As the others exchanged glances, Louis smiled sadly. He nodded, "It matters, Ace. I just realized it. A marriage without love would only feel bland. Can it last long? I doubt it."

Warren seemed to be processing the fact that I had destroyed his primary tool of manipulation: my affection. “Well…” Antony’s voice suddenly broke the electric tension. My father stepped forward, trying to soften the mood, though his tone remained cautious. “Marriages of convenience can also build love over time, Amy. Many solid unions began this way, based on respect and mutual interests, only to flourish later.” I threw a frigid look at my father. His attempt to "normalize" the situation and smooth things over did not please me. "You might be right, Father," I said, making no effort to hide my irritation. "We’ll see about that later."

"Not everything in this world is black and white. You chose marriage and disappointed me in the process, but it doesn't mean you did wrong. It's just a decision you made in your life. It's not something we can dictate." Without affection, all decisions made in this world are selfish. No one path is absolutely or definitively right or wrong.

I-I don't know. "Do not worry about it. Love is complicated if you keep thinking about it. You just feel and live the things that make you comfortable. Also choose someone who you think being with him all your life will not bore you and keep you wanting to worship, Num. Marriage is a big reward, devoted to your husband, the source of your reward is a lot. But if your heart feels forced to do it, it's not afdhol. " ……………

"Last I remember, I don't owe you anything, baby girl, neither do I belong to you, I'm a free man, so get to the point," Jason replied nonchalantly, dancing to the music and taking sips of his drink. Felicia frowned at his indifferent attitude. Though she had always lied to her friends that she and Jason, the hottest guy in school, were dating, it wasn't the truth. To Jason, Felicia was only a sex buddy – a friend with benefits he could call on whenever he was horny and discard when he was no longer in need. He already made that clear to her on the first day she approached him that he wasn't interested in a relationship.

Perhaps I wanted to hurt her before her indifference could hurt me. “My body reacted to yours,” I said. “That does not mean I have suddenly developed feelings for you. You are my mate by ceremony and my wife because of the alliance. Nothing else has changed.” The silence that followed was worse than shouting. Mary Ann looked at me for so long that I began to wish she would slap me again. Anger would have been easier to face than the quiet sadness entering her eyes. Then she smiled.
