What She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 638

Kaia shook her head. "I'm not angry anymore. I used to think a relationship was a one-person effort, but since being with Simon, I realized it actually takes two. I'm slowly learning and figuring things out."

Hearing Kaia say that made Finnian feel even more miserable. It hit him with the jarring reality that while she had completely moved on, he was just starting to desperately want the past back. He was utterly lost.

"Is that so? Then why didn't you share your feelings with me seven years ago?" Finnian's dark eyes locked onto hers, as if trying to see straight into her soul.

Kaia turned her head away, her voice tinged with self-deprecation. "Maybe I was just too insecure. I thought confessing would only invite humiliation, and keeping quiet felt safer. Or maybe... I just hoped you would eventually notice the little details on your own."

Finnian's chest tightened painfully. He clasped his large hands together and mocked himself. "It seems I failed as a husband. I never noticed those subtle hints. But looking back now, you made it so obvious. I just wasn't paying attention..."

"It's fine. It's all in the past now. Things I couldn't face before, I can face today." Kaia cut him off. She wasn't having this conversation to hear his apologies or reflections.

She just felt that since everything was over, putting it all out in the open would make it easier for both of them to move forward. It was simply a way to close the chapter on their history.

Finnian froze. Was it really in the past?

Then why did it feel like he couldn't step over it now?

"Why would you feel insecure? In my eyes, you were always so confident," Finnian asked, genuinely confused. In a professional setting, she radiated a captivating, expert confidence.
