Alice paused for a long time before asking, “Why did you suddenly want to talk to me about it today?”
To be honest, Alice had no idea that Zayden had been on an emotional roller-coaster since he arrived at the hospital. With all his patience, he tried to reconcile with her and repair their relationship.
Zayden approached her calmly and asked, “What would you say if I don’t tell you this? Would you just assume that I didn’t trust you at all, and then just walk away from me?”
Alice remained silent because Zayden had read her mind.
To her, the most important rule of her life was to minimize losses. As a result, whenever something went wrong between them, her first reaction was to leave. She also did the same thing when it came to many other matters.
Having weighed the benefits and drawbacks, Alice chose the former between the kids and Zayden, as well as her career and him.
