Chapter 62

He couldn't believe that Helen was faulting him. Emotional abuse really. He wasn't faulting her for infertility was he? He wouldn't hold it against her. He was a mature adult and wouldn't start this whole petty battle with her. He was trying to focus on the proceedings with her lawyer talking as he always did, but there was just something about her today. Again. The bruise that was on her face the first session wasn't there anymore thank goodness. It looked like it hurt and he honestly wanted to make sure that she was alright.

He could tell she wasn't. Like right now.

She constantly shifted on her seat and the entire time she tried not to exhale when her lawyer ended every statement. He could see she was trying not to snap. Visibly. Her breathing would increase and she seemed to be praying for this to be over. What in the world was going on? He thought that she'd be desperate to officially separate and ruin him.
