“You’re only feeling this way because I suddenly stopped caring about you as much, stopped being as nice to you. You’re just not used to it. It’s like those two weeks you spent with Zoey-because I wasn’t by your side, something felt missing, so you felt uncomfortable. You mistook that habit for liking”

Nella looked straight into Alfred’s panicked eyes, trying to make him understand.

“You mistook habit for liking-now that’s the real mistake. If we keep going because of a mistake like this, you’ll regret it sooner or later.

“It’s like texting on your phone. Some words are so close that one wrong tap, and suddenly the whole sentence says something completely different.”

Compared to Alfred’s confusion and helplessness, Nella spoke with clear, calm logic.

“We started with dignity. During our three years of marriage, I used that dignity again and again to hold things together. So I hope that when we end things, we don’t turn the dignity I worked so hard to protect into something messy and embarrassing.”

She gave Alfred a gentle, friendly smile. “What do you think?”

Alfred’s lips trembled, but he couldn’t force out a single word.

Yes. Over these three years, every one of his numerous undignified actions had all been disguised as peaceful and serene under her dignified protection.

The marriage he thought was peaceful and balanced was actually held together by her constant stepping back, by her quiet endurance and care.

“Alfred, let’s end it here.”

Finally, Nella uttered these words in the calmest tone.

But to Alfred, it felt like a death sentence.

No bullet pierced his chest, yet he felt as if his heart had completely stopped beating.

All the blood in his body seemed to freeze in that single moment.

“Let’s not talk about this now. Get some good rest. I’ll go check on Marshal.”

After saying that, he turned and left the hospital room quickly.

He didn’t dare look back.

Watching his retreating, almost fleeing figure, Nella could only shake her head and sigh.

“Why put yourself through this, Alfred?”

Alfred didn’t reappear until evening.

But he seemed to be deliberately avoiding that topic. When he walked in holding Marshal, his eyes even

carried a hint of evasiveness.

“The discharge paperwork is done. I’ll take you home.”

Nella didn’t refuse.

After clearing everything up that afternoon, she felt lighter than ever.

She knew Alfred’s proud personality. She had spoken so plainly and even exposed his most secret feelings.

He wouldn’t bother dragging it out or making himself look that undignified.

On the drive back in Alfred’s car, Nella sat in the front seat, holding Marshal in her arms.

With Marshal there, her emotions were easily soothed.

Her mood grew lighter and lighter.

Just then, she received a message on her phone from Wesley.

That familiar chatting style let Alfred realize at once-it was that man he didn’t know.

Back then, he had even linked Marshal together with that man in his mind.

It turned out that besides Marshal, there was another man close to Nella, someone who could truly make her smile from the heart.

Alfred glanced at her discreetly, and sure enough, he saw her previously calm eyes light up slightly.
