Chapter 17 - The Possibility of Second Chances

Isabella’s POV

‘If you’re so set on us getting a divorce, you should speak to Ethan. He proposed this marriage, and it should be his decision if he wants to end it.’

“Oh,” I muttered helplessly as I recalled the words I’d calmly said to his mother.

“If I—” Ethan swallowed, his voice heavy with some unspoken emotion, “If I proposed we get a divorce like my mother suggested…would you agree without a fight?”

What sort of question was that?

If it had been me in the past life, I would have answered unequivocally. Yes. Getting divorced from Ethan had been my deepest desire, especially after I’d reconnected with James. I’d viewed my marriage to Ethan as the worst sort of nightmare. And perpetual recurring dream of being trapped with no light at the end of the tunnel. If he’d proposed a divorce then, I’d have jumped at the chance and ran without looking back.
