Chapter 264: Our Own Problems
“...what?” She exclaimed, clearly shocked at my words.
“I said, what makes you think that you can take my place?” I repeated my question again.
“I...” Annie said before she realized that she didn’t have any comeback for that.
“You can’t. The good news is that you don’t need to. You need to find your own place in his heart or your own role in his life. To be frank, if you can’t even do that, I would prefer if you would just let Zak go and opt for a divorce,” I said truthfully. I’ve seen so many arranged marriages fail. Just take a look at Lucien’s for example.
“What?!” Annie exclaimed once again in shock.
“Did I offend you with my directness? I’m sorry. I have somewhere to be so I can’t be here with you forever. The last thing I want Zak to be involved in is a loveless marriage. Zak is a free spirit. It’s so sad to see him tied down by something that’s not even close to love,” I said, emotionlessly.
Perhaps, this is for her own good...
I paused as I glanced at Annie to see that she was deep in thought. Perhaps she was seriously considering my words. Regardless of what she chose to do from here on out, I wanted to say what I had to say. The rest will be up to her.
“Zak once told me that if he falls in love, it will be at first sight or not at all. It’s been five years now, and he’s known you before your wedding too, don’t you think that if he’s going to fall in love with you, he would have a long time ago?” I asked rhetorically.
