Chapter 187: Moving Forward, Alone
Rory felt like she was stabbed in her chest hearing what Mrs. Delport said. It hurt to hear that this is what she is thinking of her-- because she is speaking her heart, she is going to end up alone.
She wanted to speak more. But she stopped herself. No one will listen to her. No one is going to understand the pain in her heart and listen to her words. No one.
But then, it made sense. When Liam acted up hiding the pain in his heart, everyone skirted around him. They loved him, and yet they weren’t willing to listen to him and solve his hurt.
It was obvious that he was hurting deep inside and that’s why she stayed with him not minding his tantrums.
But he is not going to be there for her. He might have stayed with her till now in the hopes that she wouldn’t blatanty speak the truth. Now he knows the truth and he won’t be there for her anymore.
She took a glance at Liam. She still had a little wish that he would talk to her, and ask her about the pain in her heart. He looked fed up. He was fiddling with his fingers and his face was stiffened. He was contemplating something so deeply.
Of course, he would second-guess his words.
He was always like that. At the spur of the moment, he will say something, and then he will regret ever saying that. That’s why she didn’t take his words seriously when he said that they still can be a married couple.
He is going to change his mind. It is only a matter of time.
With a sigh, she looked at Mrs. Delport. She was sure that Lennon didn’t touch her, and that Ellie is Liam’s daughter. She hoped that was the case.
But it is late. Liam won’t accept her with all his heart now. Whether Lennon spoke the truth or not, he was right about Liam. After having a vivid image of what his "father" did to her, he won’t be able to continue living with her.
And she will never blame Liam for that. He is who he is. And their situation is messier. She can accept the truth blaring at her face.
