She closed her eyes briefly. "Did you come with an ulterior motive this time?"
Distrust was her default setting now!
But deep down, she knew he didn't have one. He just didn't trust Yardley...
After all, Susanna had stayed by his side for far too long this time. And he had even let her live in the Hoggart Castle!
That was a privilege none of his previous women had ever enjoyed.
"No," he said softly.
There was a hint of hurt in his voice.
"Then let's grab lunch."
The man on the other end froze.
The sting of her earlier suspicion melted away instantly.
Slowly, a smile crept into his eyes...
"Okay," he breathed. "What do you want to eat? I'll find a place."
"You know what I like. Anywhere is fine."
"I'll handle it!"
Hanging up, Herbert immediately ordered Rudolf to book a restaurant that suited her tastes.
Rudolf was surprised to hear they were having lunch together.
"It seems stepping back was the right move, sir. Giving her space allowed her to breathe and reevaluate where you two stand."
Before, Herbert had refused to let go.
But he had ignored how she felt...
Why did she fake her death to escape? Because being trapped around them was suffocating.
If she had been given a quiet period, she could have sorted her feelings out.
But he had tracked her down anyway, which she had found unacceptable.
Though his absence from Smaro Town had been short...
And despite the Yelchin family's interference, she had bounced back remarkably fast!

"You're a failure as a husband and coward as a Man" This is what i want to say in Fairfax hahaha you dont deserved a wife if you cant protect her...
Hahaha This plot of story i hate about, choosing another girl instead of your own wife is something unreal, you didnt considered your wife feeling, you didnt even trust her and later on you will say sorry?? Was sorry will fixed everything you've done? Was sorry fixed her heart? it was unfair for your wife, you must choose your wife whatever it is. You know your wife well more than anyone else and the only person she should lean on was the person who pushes her away...
Finally๐...
