Chapter 49: [Bonus - ]5/5- The Day It All Went Wrong
Rory couldn’t even blink or move after hearing what he said. She could feel the strength in her legs leaving her and she almost fainted. But he was still talking.
"You remember, right? We all went to a bar to celebrate and you returned early because you didn’t feel like it? That night I went to Allison’s place for~"
"Stop!" Rory covered her ears.
She remembered that night. They went out with friends to celebrate the end of their final exams. She couldn’t take alcohol(probably because she was pregnant) and she felt unwell with the noise and crowds. So she returned home early as Liam wanted to stay. As far as she knows, he stayed out the entire night.
He is saying that he cheated on me?
Heh!
Liam slumped to his knees dropping his phone. He shouldn’t have looked at his phone screen. Rory was telling him that she loves him. And like always, he, to his detriment, ignored her and peeked at his phone notification.
But that notification gave him the determination to do what he wanted to do. He cannot distract just because she said that she loves him.
He loves her and she loves him. That is a fact. But he needs to push her far away. He needs to protect his family from himself. They will be safe without him.
He wants to hug her. He wants to tell her that he loves her; he too meant it when he said ’I do’; he saved all his firsts for her because he loved her for years before their marriage; he was not at all drunk when they had their first time but he pretended so to keep her at ease; he enjoyed every moment he spent with her; he does not want to be just friends; he wants to raise their daughter together with her...
