The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 133

"You really mastered the art of walking the line. You indulged in the thrill of an emotional affair while clinging to your technical innocence, and honestly, I commend you for it."

"But Parker, betrayal isn't defined by a legal checklist. Emotional cheating, physical cheating—it's all cheating. The moment I find it repulsive, the moment you cross that intimate line with another woman, it's a betrayal."

Cassidy spoke at length.

Parker slowly lifted his head.

He still hadn't fully recovered from the stinging slap.

Throughout their marriage, despite all their arguments and fights, this was the first time Cassidy had ever laid a hand on him.

His eyes reflected a dazed confusion.

He stared blankly at her.

For a long time, he didn't say a word.

Cassidy softened her tone. In truth, her voice had been fairly calm all along, but now it took on a more persuasive, almost coaxing edge. "It's fine, Parker. I'm not saying all this to reprimand you."

Even though she had started the conversation by slapping him across the face.

"On the contrary, I should thank you. During our first year together, you gave me a taste of a passionate, thrilling romance. That will likely be the first and last time I ever experience love in this lifetime."

"But this is where it ends."

"I am the kind of person who refuses to tolerate dirt in my eyes. You disgusted me, and I can never want you again."

"Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"I'm giving you two choices. First, we live our separate lives without interfering with each other. You will not come to my office causing a scene like you did the other day, and I won't interfere in your business either."

"If you like Lola, I've already transferred her back to the sales department. You can keep her as your secretary. If her betrayal bothers you, I can have HR hire someone else. You can find a younger, prettier girl to take care of you."

"Second, we divorce. I will let you go pursue your new happiness and find a wife who satisfies you. But mark my words: any children your new wife gives you will never outrank mine."

"I will never allow that to happen."

"Parker, what's your choice?"

Parker stared at her, finally choking out a single word: "No."
