Mason said, “Mr. Irvin didn’t completely cut ties with you because he no longer loved you, nor was it because he wanted to start a new life with Grace. He did it because he loves you too much!
“He thinks he’s tainted now and isn’t worthy of you anymore. That’s why he wants you to move on and find happiness with someone else. As for him, forget about starting a new life—he doesn’t even want to live anymore!
“Ms. Agatha wants him dead. She’s been feeding him food and drug combinations that are toxic when eaten together. Mr. Irvin is aware of this. Yet, he still ate them all!” he revealed..
Without even pausing for breath, Mason continued, “And there’s more! You don’t know that after he had fallen for Grace’s trap, he—all of his hair turned completely white overnight! The full head of black hair you see on him now is dyed!
“Mr. Irvin really does love you, Ms. Quill! Think about it. What man would go white–haired overnight after being manipulated into sleeping with another woman? Sincerely, Ms. Quill, there truly is no man on this earth who loves you more than Mr. Irvin!”
Mason had learned roughly what had happened between me, Irvin and Julianne from online news reports. Seeing Irvin had already admitted he was wrong, Mason, of course, wouldn’t try to claim that Irvin hadn’t been wrong in the past.
Yes, Irvin had made mistakes. But there was nothing more valuable than a prodigal son who had returned, especially when the prodigal son was as devoted as Irvin was.
The past was already in the past. What mattered now was the future. Mason believed that as long as I gave Irvin another chance, he would definitely make me the happiest woman in the world.
But even when I had faced Irvin, I hadn’t wavered. I never considered giving him another chance. So, it was even less likely that I would when someone else was helping him plead his case.
