Let’s Divorce Mrs. Wright Is Done Playing Nice novel Chapter 1026

Evan fell silent.

For a moment, he had no answer.

Then he stepped forward, pulled Stella up from the couch, and dragged her into his arms.

“No one will ever use you as a bargaining chip again.”

Stella let out a cold laugh.

Anyone else could have said that.

But Evan?

“You’re no better than they are.”

She did not soften the words in the slightest.

In her eyes, Evan, Aaron, and Felix were all the same kind of man.

Evan tightened his arms around her.

She was right.

As far as Stella was concerned, he was no different from Felix or Aaron.

None of them had the right to condemn the others.

Evan took a slow breath.

“Summer is dead. Can you let it go now?”

He wanted her to move on.

That was why he had personally brought the source of Stella’s pain to an end.

He had hoped it would give them a better chance at a future together.

No.

Not merely a chance.

No matter what Stella thought of him now, he had no intention of letting her go.

A shadow passed through Stella’s eyes at the mention of Summer’s death.

Yes, Summer was dead.

But the damage she had caused would never disappear.

“Forget it,” Evan said quietly. “Please.”

“Don’t reject me completely because of her. Give me one more chance.”

He was too impatient.

How could Stella possibly give him another chance now?

But Evan was desperate.

He needed to hear that she would stay.

People had to live with the consequences of their choices.

Had Stella never given Evan a chance?

She had.

She had told him not to go to Summer.

If he had stayed at Inkwood even once instead of leaving for Summer, there might still have been some possibility between them.

But back then, whenever Summer needed him, he went.

All it took was one phone call, and he would leave.

Had he thought about second chances then?

Now he wanted one?

“Everything I did was wrong,” Evan said. “I was wrong about her. I trusted the wrong person.”

“If she had been a good person, would that have made it acceptable for you to hurt me for her?”

He had trusted the wrong person?

What a convenient excuse.

“Are you sorry because you misjudged Summer,” Stella asked coldly, “or are you actually sorry that choosing her cost you me?”

Evan fell silent.
