If George really couldn't let go of his pride, then why would I have to discard my dignity to confirm it with him?
Of course, what Aria cared about wasn't really pride. She could not care at all about that. But what mattered most was, she could disregard everything, as long as she could reconcile with George. Whatever she had to endure was fine. So why did George have to fuss over pride?
Why did George have to be so petty just because I was being willful for once? Why couldn't he be a bit more forgiving, especially since he was, after all, my husband?
Every time Aria thought of this, her heart would feel icy cold, because she knew if George could treat her this way, it meant he truly didn't value her, didn't hold her in his heart.
So, upon realizing this, she was sober enough to understand that George's concern wasn't sincere. If it wasn't genuine, it seemed unnecessary to want it anymore. It's like I was begging; why bother?
