Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 281

Millie's pent-up frustrations finally erupted: "Can't you see all that I've done for us recently? I just wanted us to go back to how things were, with no barriers between us. But it's like your heart is made of stone, giving me no chance at all... Why? Because you still have Roseanne in your heart, right?! You can't forget her!"

The man enunciated each word clearly: "So, what if I do?"

It was as if he couldn't even bother to pretend anymore.

"I know I can't compare to Roseanne, but my love for you is no less than hers—"

Millie cried, tears streaming down her face, as she reached out to hold Murray's hand, only to be coldly shrugged off.

"You don't deserve to say her name." Murray's forehead veins throbbed as if he was holding back extreme restraint, "Her name, coming from your mouth, is an insult."

"I'm giving you one day. Either you personally apologize to my mom, or get out of the manor. It's your choice."

With that, he grabbed his coat and walked away.

Millie trembled all over.

In his eyes, she wasn't herself but just an object, something easily disposable.

She had gotten pregnant before marriage for him, dropped out of college, and even endured Beverley's disdain, keeping her head down. And for what?

He despised her and wanted her gone?!

Millie was filled with hatred; after all her sacrifices, she had made it this far, almost touching a life of luxury and comfort. How could she just give up?

With this thought, she wiped away her tears and cradled her belly.

As long as the child was there, she hadn't lost.

...

Murray sat in his car, unsure of where to go.

The hospital had a medical team, and Beverley could receive the best care.

The manor had Millie, and he didn't want to stay there for another second.

As for the office...

He had been working non-stop for two days; if he didn't rest, his secretary and assistant would need to as well.

"Cliff, let's go for a drink."

"Murray, you've been rounding up the gang quite frequently lately, huh?"
