The Transactional Marriage That Imploded novel Chapter 254

Mathis's voice turned hoarse. "Do you really have to treat me like this? I'm telling you, Bianca, you're going to regret this one day."

Bianca was utterly dismissive. "Why would I regret it? I've already made the biggest mistake of my life, and I won't ever make a choice I regret again.

I told you, unless it's about Aveline's condition, we have nothing else to discuss."

With that, Bianca ended the call, entirely unbothered by how dark Mathis's expression must be on the other end of the line.

She regretted plunging into a marriage with him so recklessly. It was a mistake that had cost Mabel her life.

That was a hurdle she would never get over for as long as she lived. Whenever the memories resurfaced in the dead of night, the pain was agonizing.

Watching Bianca's face remain completely composed after hanging up, Milo was certain she had entirely let go of that man.

She wasn't rejecting Milo personally; she had simply been too deeply scarred by her last marriage to ever risk giving her heart away again.

If loving someone meant paying the price of a family member's life, then it made total sense why she was terrified to love anyone else.

Milo had no intention of pushing her. Instead, he asked casually, "Are you free this afternoon? Come with me to Foregate Square. A really interesting Chocolate Gallery just opened up."

He knew Bianca hated shopping, so he deliberately picked a spot he thought she'd enjoy. She loved sweets, so it should be right up her alley.

Bianca glanced at him and asked bluntly, "Is this a date invitation?"

He desperately wanted to say yes, but he was afraid she would reject him.

Her boundaries were a fortress. If they never spent any time alone, it would take forever to win her over.
