Chapter 166
“I didn’t understand what you were saying.” I didn’t understand the meaning of his words. I was disgusted, but also in pain and sorrow. As long as I cut my losses in time, there would be no torment, let alone suffering. If we had continued, this marriage would have truly become a torment.
Kaleb released my chin; his hands slipped into his pockets, and he maintained a calm and composed posture, as if discussing the weather. “You don’t need to understand; you just need to know one thing. If I wanted to let you go, I wouldn’t have married you at City Hall two years ago. Since we got married, I never considered getting a divorce.”
I clenched my fist, trembling with anger, and tears once again blurred my vision. He used the word “let go.” What kind of hatred was it that made him treat marriage as a cage, trapping me and not wanting to let me go? Don’t love her, but still want to disgust her like this?*
“Marriage is not something you can decide on your own,” I said calmly, with a hint of determination in my attitude. “There is no emotional connection between us, no real husband and wife relationship. If you continue to cheat on me, I have plenty of reasons to file for divorce in court.”
Kaleb lowered his moist, deep eyes and reached out to hook the back of my head, pulling me closer. With an unprecedented gentle tone, he softly coaxed, “Katrina, you can make a fuss about anything, but please don’t talk about divorce. No one can truly understand the elusive nature of emotions. The fact that we are a married couple can be confirmed at any time. As for the accusation of infidelity, it is purely slander and unfounded.”
I was momentarily lost in thought. I had never seen Kaleb so gentle before, which made me feel unfamiliar.
