The Marriage She Turned into War novel Chapter 181

I smiled and asked rhetorically, "A proper conversation? When have I ever not spoken properly to you, Abigail?"

It was probably due to the days of pent-up frustration and doubt that left my mood on edge.

I looked at her faintly and added coldly, "Isn't that right? Or did you come here just to mock me?"

Although my words were harsh, Abigail merely let out a faint smile and spoke calmly. "I know you're still angry with me."

I didn't know how to respond to that. Instead, I asked rhetorically, "Did you skip work just to come here and lecture me?"

Abigail placed a package of food in front of me. Her eyes brimmed with gentleness as she said to me softly, "Aren't shrimp tacos your favorite? I bought this especially for you. Try them and tell me how they taste."

The mention of shrimp tacos immediately triggered a wave of nausea. Seafood was something I detested the most. I was even allergic to mangoes, and I hated the taste of cilantro.

She could never remember any of these!

She was still pretending to care about me now, claiming these tacos were specially bought for me. I couldn't help but suspect they were bought for Joshua and that she brought them here just to humiliate me.

Yet, strangely, I didn't feel angry anymore now. I understood it wouldn't matter even if I told her a thousand times. She would never remember if she didn't truly care.

She had never taken my preferences or feelings seriously. Why should I waste my breath?

I took the tacos calmly and said faintly, "Abigail, there's no need to go to such trouble next time. There are restaurants just downstairs from my company. I can grab my lunch there. You don't need to drop by purposely."
