I Was His Wife, Then His Widow, Then No One's But My Own novel Chapter 468

Upset her...

Finnegan squeezed his eyes shut. The words felt like a physical blow to his chest, sending a sharp ache straight to his heart.

He never imagined he would hear those words spoken aloud, laying bare the humiliating reality of his situation.

The woman who had once loved him so deeply was now fully invested in another man's embrace, taking their child to some family farm weekend.

He had never once taken her and Cassie to a family outing like that. The regret was overwhelming. Back then, he had kept his identity a secret and abandoned his own wife just to take care of Seraphina.

Now, the tables had completely turned, and karma had come to collect its due.

"I understand," he said, his voice raspy as he forced his emotions down. "Tell Xander I won't bother them that day."

He didn't even know if there was any point in holding on anymore, or if Nora would ever forgive him. He knew he couldn't disrupt her life again; he would just watch over her from a distance.

He couldn't even bear to imagine the look on Nora's face when she finally learned the whole truth.

Would she hate him?

Even hatred would be fine.

It was better than being forgotten. If she hated him, then let her hate him for the rest of her life. He was willing to endure that.

Ending the call, Finnegan pushed open the door of the villa and stepped outside. The crisp morning air carried the faint scent of damp earth. He stumbled toward the road ahead and climbed into his car.
