Chapter 513
Theresa said, “I’m not a kid anymore, and I know what I’m doing. Charlie is grateful to me now, so he wants to keep me with him…
“But he is not the kind of person who values feelings that are dispensable to him. He just wants to return the favor to me.
“At first, I could stay with him using his gratitude, but will we still do so over time? Can two people really stay together for the rest of their lives out of gratitude? I’ve seen it through. Love is just a lie. And I don’t want to waste my energy on these things anymore.”
