After I Stopped Loving Her, She Regretted

Now that Shawn is back, as someone who knows the situation, I should naturally give up my position.

"Anyway, the person you love is not me. I am selfish for trapping you in marriage.

"Now that he's back, isn't it good that you two lovers can finally be together?"

Amelia shook her head repeatedly without hesitation.

"Elijah, it's not what you think."

"Then what is truth?"

She couldn't bring herself to say it, lowering her head and picking at the delicate nails.

"Elijah, if you're still angry about the game, I apologize to you."

"How about your diary?"

She widened her eyes in surprise and anger at being caught out in a secret.

"Did you go through my diary? Don't you know how to respect someone's privacy?"

I didn't argue with her, just looked at her quietly until she sheepishly turned away.

"That was just something I wrote out of boredom, it doesn't count."

"Over the years, you know how I treated you. If I really couldn't forget him, I wouldn't have married you and had children with you."

I suddenly felt tired and found it hard to speak.

"Dear, I won't divorce."

She lowered her head and approached me, tugging at my sleeve.

"I was wrong that day, I just had a few drinks and wasn't very clear-headed.

"I know how good you've been to me. You run the Davis Group and take care of me and the kids.

"Elijah, you promised Grandpa that you would take care of me for the rest of my life. Are you going to leave me alone too?

"You know, you are the only one I have in this world."

Her eyes were red, and gradually she seemed to blend with the sorrowful figure she had been a few years ago, becoming indistinguishable from it in my eyes.

Amelia's parents had passed away, and it was Grandpa Charles who had raised her.

Before his death, Charles said that the person he was most worried about was Amelia, and asked me to look after her in his stead.

Charles had been very kind to me, helping me out when I was in the most difficult of times.

After his funeral, Amelia hugged me and cried her heart out.

"From now on, I only have you in this world, only you..."

At that time, I felt sorry for her and made a solemn promise to her.

"Don't worry, I will be by your side for the rest of my life, never leaving or abandoning you."

At that moment, I really meant it. I wanted to protect this woman from any suffering for the rest of her life.

But the once sincere promise turned out to be a prison for myself.

As we sat in silence, Cathy made a video call.

Cathy was my daughter, who was four years old now and had recently been on vacation with my mom, her grandmother.

"Daddy, do you miss me? I miss you so much."

Cathy said with her pouty lips, making funny faces in front of the camera, dispelling the gloom in my heart.

Amelia had suffered from postpartum depression after giving birth to Cathy.

In order for her to recover better, Cathy had been taken care of by me and my mother since she was born.

"Where is mom? Can I talk to her?"

I handed my phone to Amelia.

Watching her interact closely with her Amelia, I, who had already made up my mind, suddenly wavered.

Children who grew up in single-parent families were somewhat sensitive in character.

What about Cathy if we divorced? Would she be affected by us?

After hanging up the phone, Amelia held my hand with a guilty face.

"Darling, Cathy is so cute, and how can you bear to make her sad?"

This time, I didn't pull away her hand.

Maybe we could try again.
