Fletcher was weighing his options. Norbert had limited time left, but Stuart had a promising future ahead of him. Anyone could see which was more important. Yet, to Morwenna, no one compared to Norbert Hetfield.
"Step aside."
"Morwenna, Stuart has been so good to you. Can you really just walk away from him?"
Morwenna suddenly looked up at Fletcher, her once bright eyes now filled with sorrow as she asked, "Good to me? Fletcher, did you know about the car accident Stuart staged to deceive me?"
Fletcher's heart skipped a beat, and he took a step back.
Morwenna let out a bitter laugh. "So you knew too. You all knew, and I was the fool, falling for Stuart because of his so-called kindness. You've all deceived me. Now, on what grounds do you ask me to return to Stuart?"
Fletcher was at a loss for words, trying to explain, "It's not what you think. Stuart had his reasons. His troubled childhood made him act irrationally, and he's been suffering for years..."
"I know he's suffered, but did I cause his suffering? Why should I bear the consequences? I could forgive him for making things difficult for me, for disliking me, but deceiving my feelings is unforgivable! Meeting him was just my bad luck. I've already signed the divorce papers and left them at Windcharm Villas. From now on, don't speak to me about Stuart. He and I are nothing to each other!"
Morwenna, not one to shy away from hardship, had always been cautious with her heart. How could she tolerate deceit?
