The Transactional Marriage That Imploded novel Chapter 231

Mathis Jagger refused to answer the question in front of Bianca Baldwin. "What Cynthia Quinn and I have going on is none of your business. Just because you have feelings for me doesn't mean I have to reciprocate. Our names matching is just a coincidence—it's not like I named myself.

Plenty of women are into me. If I entertained every single one who acted like you, I'd never get a moment's peace. I wouldn't have even come today if my wife hadn't called me. Drop this act once you've had your meltdown. No one has the free time to put up with your tantrums."

Ingrid Wilder continued to sob under his harsh scolding.

After finishing his piece, Mathis didn't forget to take a jab at Milo Wilder. "Milo, you're always boasting about your family's impeccable upbringing. Take a good look at your sister right now. This kind of obsessive, unhinged behavior must be in your genetics."

Milo shot back, "Or you could just call my sister devoted. Being deeply in love isn't a crime."

Bianca chimed in to back him up. "Ms. Wilder is simply a hopeless romantic."

Milo looked at Bianca in utter confusion. What kind of logic was that? Being a hopeless romantic wasn't just a minor issue—it was the biggest flaw a person could have.

In modern society, letting your emotions dictate your entire life was basically treated like a cardinal sin, an unforgivable weakness.

Bianca explained, "I've never thought being a hopeless romantic was a bad thing. Being ruled by your heart is just like being driven by your career. People who are hopeless romantics know how to love, and they love fiercely. They put their relationship above all else. Whoever ends up with someone like that is incredibly lucky."

Bianca's shocking declaration stunned everyone in the room.

Mathis thought bitterly to himself, *You're certainly not ruled by your heart. We were together for three years, and you tossed me aside without a second thought.*

Ingrid, however, felt as if she had finally found a kindred spirit. Trembling, she asked Bianca, "Do you really believe that? You think being a hopeless romantic is a good thing?"

Milo and Mathis actually found themselves in rare agreement—both thought Bianca was spouting absolute nonsense.

Given how hyper-rational she usually was, it was a miracle she wasn't ripping the concept of a 'hopeless romantic' to shreds.
