Mentally prepared for what? To lose her forever?
He didn't want to be prepared for that. He outright rejected it. He was going to bring her back.
...
Back in Smaro Town, Herbert received word that Fairfax's men were closing in on Lazar.
The afternoon soup had been brewed perfectly.
Watching Starla finish a bowl, Herbert asked gently, "Is it to your liking?"
"Yeah, it's good. The chicken is exactly how I like it," she replied.
The chicken was slightly tough and chewy. While some people preferred tender meat, Starla always favored the firmer texture. To her, it meant the meat had taken time to mature.
"If you like it, have some more," Herbert said, pleased.
"Is it going to be completely foolproof this time?" Starla asked.
Herbert had promised her that everything would conclude at the Shark Sea. The moment Fairfax and Yardley left that place, she would officially be "dead" to them. They would never look for her again.
"Yes, everything is set in motion," he assured her.
His men would arrive there just ahead of Yardley and Fairfax.
Starla fell silent. Herbert opened his mouth to say something, but sensing her lingering detachment, he swallowed his words.
He would just have to be patient. For the rest of her life, he would be the only person in her world.
"How about I make you some fruit tarts this afternoon?"
She loved fruit tarts. But no one in the Yelchin family liked them, and neither did Fairfax, so she had always gone out to bakeries to get them.

"You're a failure as a husband and coward as a Man" This is what i want to say in Fairfax hahaha you dont deserved a wife if you cant protect her...
Hahaha This plot of story i hate about, choosing another girl instead of your own wife is something unreal, you didnt considered your wife feeling, you didnt even trust her and later on you will say sorry?? Was sorry will fixed everything you've done? Was sorry fixed her heart? it was unfair for your wife, you must choose your wife whatever it is. You know your wife well more than anyone else and the only person she should lean on was the person who pushes her away...
