Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 379

Even if you use every trick in the book to trap me in this marriage, it won't change a thing.

It will only make me hate you more, and make me try even harder to leave you."

Those words acted like a dull knife, sawing back and forth across Jarred's heart.

It wasn't a fatal blow, but it was an agonizing, drawn-out pain.

A faint smile still hovered on his lips, but only he knew how thoroughly the things beneath that smile had shattered.

"Then we'll see if you actually manage to shake me off."

His gaze was far too serious, carrying not a hint of a joke.

Sienna stared fixedly into his bottomless eyes, trying to find even the slightest trace of hesitation.

But all she saw was deep, unyielding stubbornness.

Sienna looked away, refusing to engage with him further.

Talking was useless.

At this point, nothing was going to change the fact that she wanted a divorce.

Without a second thought, she turned and headed toward the elevator.

Jarred didn't rush to chase her.

He just stood there and parted his lips. "Since the outcome is the same either way, it's only natural for me to help whoever I can."

Sienna's footsteps halted.

The underlying meaning behind those words was glaringly obvious.

Since she was determined to divorce him no matter what, he naturally wouldn't just sit back and do nothing for Celeste.

She whipped around, her voice rising several pitches, thick with unrestrained fury.

"Jarred, are you out of your mind? Fine, even if Mrs. Bridges wasn't blood-related to you and you don't feel bad about her dying, what about the old man?
