A Ruling Passion – Chapter 0365

She clenched the hem of her blouse nervously and tried her best to remain calm on the surface. “No, I insist on getting a divorce. I’ve once tried to convince myself to continue living like this. when I got pregnant this time, I looked forward to the birth of my children and believed that things would get better. Yet, fate told me that I should leave. Thank you for telling me that you've loved me, but I’m sorry, I'll never be able to fall in love with you. When I’m with you, I always tremble, walk on eggshells, and feel burdened by guilt. How can we carry on living together without love? Aren’t you tired of it?"

Mark stood up abruptly and loosened his tie. He wanted to smash things but was worried that it would frighten her. “You don't need to fall in love with me. I won't agree to a divorce. Do whatever you want! I’m going out since I still have something to attend to. Find Mary if you need anything.”

He took his coat and left the Tremont Estate. In the car, Brian asked him “Where do you want to go, sir?”

Mark didn’t have anything to do. He actually took the day off just to spend time with Arianne, but he didn’t expect that she would ask for a divorce. When he came out, he even felt as though he was fleeing from the scene. Not knowing where to go, he pondered for a moment before saying, “To the company.”

The talk didn’t go well, just as Arianne had expected. The only surprise to her was the fact that Mark didn’t lose his temper or say anything hurtful.
