Damien stepped forward, getting even closer to me.
I felt his rapid breathing on my face, no longer in a steady rhythm.
"You really dare to divorce me?"
That statement was laughably absurd.
What wouldn't I dare to do?
Meanwhile, Madam Stratton, upon hearing what I said, hurriedly came over, trembling.
She grabbed my hand, "Scarlett, dear, why are you suddenly talking about divorce? Is Damien not treating you well?"
Madam Stratton glared at Damien, "You better apologize to Scarlett right now!"
Damien furrowed his brow, struggling to comprehend my words.
He shook his head slightly, "If there was something between Estella and me, why would I have married you?"
Unlike before, this time his words carried a hint of gentleness.
It seemed he was trying to sincerely explain things to me.
In the past, I probably would have been grateful for even this tiny bit of tenderness.
I would have excitedly thrown myself at him, telling him I knew he would never betray me.
