The Transactional Marriage That Imploded novel Chapter 289

Miraculously, she hadn't taken such a long afternoon nap in ages.

It seemed Aveline was her cure. Bianca happily shared this new breakthrough with Sylvia.

Sylvia was thrilled for her, advising her to sleep with her daughter as much as possible. Aveline had likely filled the void of family in her heart.

As for the void of romance, Bianca glanced at the bright, smiling photos Milo had taken of her on her phone, then thought back to her marriage where she existed merely as a housekeeper.

The contrast between the two men was obvious.

Even though she hadn't spent much time with Milo, their moments were always filled with laughter.

He respected her and never forced her to do things she hated.

He constantly thought of ways to take her out to eat, drink, and have fun.

Mathis, on the other hand, had been verbally abusive and incredibly cold from the day they got married.

He never took her out.

The only happy memories were from the time he recovered.

That day, she accompanied him to get his test results, and Simon confirmed he was fully healed.

He spun her around in Simon's office, his voice full of joy. 'Bianca, I'm finally better! I can spend the rest of my life with you.'

She had wrapped her arms around his neck, laughing with him, and agreed to that lifetime.

Looking back, it was all so laughable. The man who promised her a lifetime merely treated her as an underground wife.

She had heard of underground lovers, but an underground wife was a first.

Bianca looked up at the ceiling, illuminated by the mottled glow of her phone screen.

Thinking about it carefully, his promise of a lifetime was just a way to coax her. He never wanted to acknowledge her as his wife.

He didn't even want to acknowledge Aveline in public.

On the night he recovered, he asked her to move into the master bedroom, and they finally consummated their marriage three years late.

That night, he took her again and again, and at the peak of his passion, he whispered, 'Bianca, we will never be apart.'

She hugged his neck and replied, 'Mm, we'll never be apart.'

She thought she was floating on clouds of happiness, but he had merely changed his method of keeping her caged.

Under the guise of love, he kept her at home to manage the household and cook for him.

That was never the marriage she wanted.

It was time to replace the man in her heart. Although she hadn't fallen for Milo yet, she had successfully carved Mathis out completely.

The empty space was slowly being filled by Milo.

Since Aveline was still sleeping soundly, Bianca apologetically texted him: [Milo, I'm so sorry, she's still asleep. We'll have to go another time. I made you wait for hours for nothing.]
