"All these years, he hasn't touched me once! Do you think there's something wrong with him?"
"And he keeps saying he loves me. I can't believe a man would have no feelings for the woman he loves! Patrick is such a loser; he can't even tell a lie properly!"
"If anything, he should thank me for hiding his problem all these years…"
Every word Janet said felt like a stone being hurled at me, hitting me with such force that my head spun.
So, this was how Janet always saw me?
Treating my restraint as a personal deficiency, trampling all over my genuine feelings.
I used to believe that if I treated her well enough, she would eventually forget the past and truly become my wife.
So, I did everything I could to be good to her. I never expected that, in the end, I'd still be called a "worthless fool."
When I got her call today, I was so happy I could cry.
I thought I had finally melted Janet's heart, which had been frozen for years. As soon as I hung up, I begged my boss for time off, withdrew all the savings I had accumulated over the years, and bought a diamond ring.
Janet had always complained about this.
