    rk realized how badly Cindy had been treating N in private. Had she been speaking to N this way for the entire three years of their marriage whenever he wasn’t around?

    white.


    Watching Damon stand up for N made rk feel a mix of anger and helplessness. He was N’s husband. He should have been the one standing by her side, but he hadn’t been there. If N hadn’t told him to ask Cindy, he wouldn’t have known what happened today.


    The more rk thought about it, the more guilt he felt. He had failed N and their eight years of love.


    He turned off the video and sent a message to his secretary.


    rk: [If my mother asks you to handle my father’s matters in the future, ignore her.]


    Michael: [Understood. Do you still want me to investigate your uncle?]


    rk: [Go on.]


    N had expected rk to stay away for a few days after what happenedst night. To her surprise, she opened the door the next morning to find him standing there with a bouquet.


    rk’s eyes lit up with hope when he saw her. “N-<b>” </b>


    “What do you want?” she interrupted, sounding impatient. It was a weekend, and she didn’t want rk to ruin it.


    “N, I know what happenedst night. I promise it won’t happen again. Has my mom always been like this to you? Why didn’t you ever tell me?”


    N could onlyugh. “Did you ever care? You’ve known your mother for years. Don’t you know what kind of person she is?”


    Under N’s piercing gaze, rk averted his eyes, unable to meet hers.


    Nughed mockingly. “rk, in the past three years, you’ve had plenty of chances to find out how your mother treated me in private, but you never wanted to. Isn’t that right?”


    rk opened his mouth to defend himself, but no words came out. What was there to say?


    Since their wedding, he hadn’t cared about her feelings as much as he used to. When sheined,


    he’d dismiss her and use work as an excuse, expecting her to handle her emotions alone. Cindy dared to treat N that way because of his inaction.


    “Haven’t I hinted at it before? You always pretended not to understand because, in your eyes, my suffering didn’t matter.


    “If it weren’t for your affair and my decision to divorce you, you might never have realized how your mother treats me.”


    “N, I am sorry…”


    rk’s face was pale. Besides those four words, he didn’t know what else to say. Anything he said now would be too little, toote. Any excuse would be meaningless.


    “Ever since I found out about your affair, you’ve been apologizing. But bted apologies can’t undo the pain I’ve endured.”


    N had once had faith in their love, so she endured Cindy’s hostility. She didn’t care if others thought she was unworthy of rk. As long as the two of them were happy together, it was enough.


    However, the moment she discovered his infidelity, her years of patience became a cruel joke.


    Now, she was done enduring.
