The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 358

"You know this already, but he's helped me out so many times. Every single time he pulled me out of the fire, he looked ten feet tall to me."

"He's far more mature than I am. He understands the world better. I usually hate being lectured, but when he explains things to me, I listen. It's the same trust I used to place in my favorite teachers."

"I've loved him for years, and that feeling has never wavered."

"And he loves me too."

"He told me his life is split into two halves: his career, and his life at home. And I am his life at home. He spends half his day with me. He loves holding me, and I can literally feel how much he loves me."

"Regardless of what he kept hidden from me in the past, I know he did it out of love. Just like when I asked for a divorce—it was because I loved him. I thought I was dragging him down, and I wanted him to find someone better. But I made that decision without ever asking what he wanted, and I ended up breaking his heart for nothing."

"Love is fragile. It can't survive being constantly twisted and pulled apart. No matter how passionate it starts, it'll eventually grind down into dust and blow away."

"More importantly, I think the absolute best relationship is when two independent souls reflect one another. No holding each other hostage, no acting like a martyr. It's just purely: 'I have the confidence to shine alone, but I choose to stand by you.' I want to be with him in a state of complete ease."

Cassidy felt like she was being force-fed a nauseating amount of romantic mush.

But hidden beneath that sweetness, she finally tasted the bitter truth of why her own marriage had failed.

Cassidy didn't like Parker.

In fact, she loathed him.

He had zero talent, zero character, zero capability, and zero class. He had no redeeming qualities.

They had gotten together because of his deceptive good looks, an impulsive spark of emotion, and the pressures of a corporate merger.

It hadn't even taken two weeks for whatever affection she had to burn out completely.

Without any foundational admiration, there was no room for tolerance.

And once Cassidy finally woke up to reality and treated the marriage as a pure business transaction, Parker suddenly tried to play the emotional card.

He made her out to be cold-blooded and heartless.

And he was right.

She was cold-blooded.

Cassidy couldn't help but let out a soft laugh.
