Whats She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 439

Chapter 439

“Finnian, our divorce is a done deal. We need to start guiding her to accept this reality. Since I will have primary custody, you need to start weaning her off her dependency on you.”

Hearing this, Finnian felt an agonizing lump form in his throat. A crushing sense of defeat washed over him.

“Kaia, she’s just a child. Are you seriously going to force her to face something this brutal right now?” Finnian was deeply dissatisfied, finding Kaia’s pragmatism incredibly cold–blooded.

‘The better you treat her now, the harder it will be when you inevitably leave. It will only break her heart worse. Please do not give her false hope. If you make her believe Mommy and Daddy are going to be together forever, the disappointment will destroy her.” Kaia didn’t want to be cruel, nor did she want her daughter to hurt, but some boundaries had to be drawn cleanly.

Finnian stood on the balcony, his chest tight and suffocating.

The image of his daughter constantly looking back at him, terrified he would vanish, was tearing him apart.

‘Just give me a little more time, okay? I can’t be without her either.” Finnian was in actual agony. He had never imagined their marriage would hit a dead end, and he certainly never prepared himself to be separated from his little girl.

Kaia turned to look out the window, her voice unwavering. “I will give you time. I want Brynlee to be happy and carefree just as much as you do. But that time has an expiration date.”

Something inside Finnian suddenly snapped, his jealousy overriding his logic. “So, is that why you’re in such a rush to have Brynlee bond with Simon Quinn? Are you hoping he’ll take my place? That he’ll be the one raising her?”

Kaia’s eyes flared. She whipped around to face him. Finnian stared right back, as if desperately trying to read her mind.

“Do you honestly think Simon Quinn can replace me as her father? She is my daughter. No man can ever take my place.” Finnian’s chest heaved, a suffocating wave of panic and possessiveness consuming him. The mere thought of Kaia cultivating that kind of relationship drove him to the brink of madness.

“Do not project your own sins onto me, Finnian,” Kaia hissed, absolutely infuriated. He was the one who had crossed every boundary of fidelity, yet here he was, aggressively trying to drag her through the mud. She was so entirely done with him.

‘My sins? You mean the fact that I didn’t enforce a strict enough boundary with Noelle? Fine. I’ve reflected on it. I admit I was wrong. Noelle was my sister–in–law, and then she became my adoptive sister. I got lost switching between all these roles and forgot where the line was… but I never did anything physical to betray you. Not once!” Finnian was losing his mind, desperately pleading his case to rewrite the narrative of his

past.

‘Did you ‘forget the line,‘ or were you just enjoying the view? You know exactly what you did.” Kaia hadn’t planned on arguing with him, but his sheer audacity was infuriating.

‘I don’t know what I did! If you know, then tell me!” Finnian’s Voice dropped to a dangerous growl as he took a step toward her.

Kaia stepped back, her gaze as sharp as shattered ice. “You want me to recite your repulsive behavior to your face? You don’t have the right to ask that of me, and I refuse to degrade myself by doing it.”

Her absolute disdain sliced through him like a blade. He stopped in his tracks, staring down at her. Kaia was too disgusted to even look at him, turning her face away.

“You clearly have feelings for Simon Quinn. You’re just refusing to admit

it,” Finnían muttered bitterly.

Kaia didn’t even dignify that with a response. “I got rid of the bed in the study. If you’re staying the night, you can choose the couch or the floor.”

“Why did you get rid of it?” Finnian’s eyes narrowed. “You just didn’t want me staying here, did you?”

“Exactly. I don’t want you sleeping here.” She wasn’t going to sugarcoat it anymore. Without another word, she turned and retreated to her master bedroom.

Finnian stared at the couch, drowning in absolute frustration.

After Layla finished bathing Brynlee, father and daughter ended up sitting by the sofa, building block towers. Despite the late hour, they were both fully engrossed in the game.

The raging fire that had been choking Finnian slowly burned out in the presence of his daughter’s radiant smile. Looking at her sweet, tiny face, ne couldn’t stomach the thought that one day, she might call Simon Quinn ‘Daddy.” He would completely lose his mind.

Finnian stared at his daughter’s soft, chubby cheeks, lost in thought.

He had spent the last few days trying to corner Kaia into confessing the true nature of her relationship with Simon. But every single time, she either exploded in anger or completely dodged the subject, looking ncredibly guilty.

Finnian knew Kaia. She was never one to run from a confrontation. In her professional life, she tackled problems head–on and always took responsibility. The fact that she was actively avoiding this proved that it was the root cause of their ruined marriage.

But to solve a problem, you had to expose it completely.

Perhaps it was time to dig deeper. When he finally slammed the undeniable evidence on the table, let’s see how she tried to dodge it

then.

Chapter 439

Finnian was absolutely convinced that he wasn’t the sole villain in this divorce. Kaia carried half the blame. She had clearly been harboring feelings for Simon Quinn for years. Now, she was using his ambiguous relationship with Noelle as a convenient excuse to initiate the split. It was the perfect exit strategy–allowing her to cleanly walk away from a loveless marriage while ensuring he and Noelle took all the public heat as the villains.

And according to Dexter’s recent investigations, the public had entirely bought the narrative. Everyone believed Noelle was the homewrecker who ruined their marriage.
