The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1502

Ryan felt like he’d been shot in the heart, and he was visibly shaken by the pain.

Justin said, “In the Salvador family, she had no independence and lived an unhappy life. Now that she's with you, her whole life is dictated by you and revolves around your wishes. It’s too much. I don’t think it’s healthy for her to be so submissive.”

Justin closed his eyes and took a sip of wine. “Maybe both of you need some time apart to cool off and really think about how to move forward in this relationship.”

“Justin... Do you hear yourself?!” Ryan slammed his hands on the table, causing the wine in the decanter to ripple. His eyes were crimson, more intense than the red wine. “When you pursued Bella, I never left your side during your toughest times! It’s fine if you won’t support me now... Are you asking me to give up?”

Ryan’s voice cracked with pain and bitterness. “In your eyes, I am just a reckless and irresponsible bastard who abandons things halfway, right? You never really wanted Carrie and me to be together... From the very beginning, you never truly intended to entrust Carrie to me! I’ve just wasted my time with you!”

Justin frowned and said, “Ryan, you’re approaching this too one-sidedly.”

“If it was Bella and I asked you to let her go and take a step back or give her up... Let me ask you, Justin, could you?!” Ryan’s laughter was filled with pain.

“You couldn’t, right? Losing Bella would be like losing your soul, wouldn’t it? Well, it's the same for me. If I lost Carrie, what would be the point of living? When you suggest reconsidering this relationship or taking Carrie away from me... You’re not just hurting me. It feels like you’re tearing me apart!”

“Bella and Carrie are different. How much can Carrie endure? Forget about enduring. Even a slight shock could make her world collapse!” Justin’s eyes darkened, his current worry and anxiety resembling that of a father choosing a son-in-law for his daughter.

“What ordinary people can endure, she can’t. What ordinary people can withstand, she can’t handle. To love her, you need courage, perseverance, and patience that are a million times greater than normal. But today, your actions have clearly shown impatience. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have dealt with the situation so forcefully!”
