What She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 347

"We've lived this way for seven years. Why is it suddenly unacceptable now?" Finnian argued, genuinely failing to understand Kaia's dramatic shift. He didn't think he had done anything unforgivable. All he did was look out for his widowed sister-in-law after Rafael passed away. How did that make him a monster?

"You are hopeless. Utterly hopeless," Josephine sneered, appalled by her grandson's emotional blindness. It baffled her that a thirty-year-old titan of industry could be this remarkably stupid when it came to his own heart. "Let me guess. Because Kaia never complained, never threw tantrums, and never demanded your attention, you assumed your marriage was perfectly stable?"

Seeing his grandmother on the verge of genuine rage, Finnian backed down.

"Fine, Grandma. I will reflect on my own marriage. But I'm asking you to drop this crusade to marry Noelle off. Let her find someone on her own terms. She deserves that right," Finnian said, forcing his voice to remain steady.

Josephine thumped her chest to calm her racing heart, then fixed Finnian with a piercing glare. "Why are you so aggressively protective of her? What is your actual motive?"

The question struck Finnian's soul. He froze, his lips parting slightly.

He wanted to say it was because she was family, because she was a sister to him. But the words lodged in his throat like lead weights. He couldn't speak.

Avoiding her gaze, he deflected. "Regardless of my motives, forcing her into a blind date is cruel."
