The Wife He Forgot to Marry (Winona and Yule) novel Chapter 829

There were certain conversations a woman simply couldn't have with her husband.

Venting about a toxic mother-in-law, for instance, was strictly reserved for best friends. Even though Stefan always took her side, Margaret was still the woman who raised him. Constantly tearing her down would inevitably create friction.

After saying goodbye to Rhea, Winona took a car back home.

As she walked through her neighborhood, she froze. Standing near the entrance of her building was Yulen Locke.

They hadn't crossed paths in a long time, and his entire demeanor had shifted. He had abandoned his usual understated style, now opting for aggressively expensive, flashy designs. The Tatum family's wealth was clearly working overtime.

Yulen was staring at her, transfixed.

She looked breathtaking. Having regained her athletic, slender figure, she possessed that same effortless elegance that had always captivated him. She was exactly his ideal type, and seeing her now made his heart hammer violently against his ribs.

But the brutal reality was that they were never getting back together.

Seeing him blocking the pathway to the lobby, Winona kept her voice perfectly flat. "Excuse me."

Yulen didn't move. His voice was low and ragged. "I came to apologize."

Winona blinked in genuine surprise. An apology? From Yulen? That was unprecedented. He was the ultimate egotist—even when he was dead wrong, he always had a Rolodex of excuses ready. He never took the blame.

When she didn't respond, Yulen swallowed hard. "Being with Mamie is absolute torture. And living through her controlling, suffocating demands made me realize... I did the exact same things to you.

"When I'm miserable, I think about you. I think about how many times you must have felt this exact same way when we were together."

Winona frowned, staring at him. He was apologizing for being controlling, but completely glossing over the fact that he had cheated on her?
