Chapter 310: Once the sun sets
Centuries later...
In the Hale Household, two loud voices rang in the mansion. All the servants only wanted to leave for a moment and avoid this inevitable confrontation.
"Felix Hale!" a middle-aged woman yelled angrily. "Where do you think you’re going, huh!? No, you cannot leave! You’ve always been absent all this time and now, you want to leave?! You just came home!"
She hurriedly went to stop Felix from leaving, holding his arm to stop him from packing his stuff. "No, you cannot! I said —"
"Enough!" Felix, currently fifty, flung his arm away. His action caused the woman to fall onto the floor.
"Juliet, enough," he repeated under his breath, his voice laced with a tinge of suppressed anger. "Enough. We’re done. It’s over for the both of us."
The middle-aged woman scoffed. "No, it’s not over for us yet!"
"It is!" this time, he raised his voice. "Juliet, I might’ve been absent and hadn’t been on your side. However, do not forget who had been causing me problems just because you cannot control yourself!"
"I almost lost all of our family’s hard work because of you! And now that everything had settled, I’m coming home to my wife whom I hadn’t seen for months in the embrace of another man!? Worst, pregnant?!" Felix tossed the clothes on the luggage on the bed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "I’m done, Juliet. I can no longer do this. I’m exhausted and drained."
Juliet’s lips quivered while shaking her head. "No, you can’t leave me."
"Yes, I can." He stressed. "You and I never loved each other, Juliet. Even at the beginning, we both knew we would never love each other. However, I had been faithful to you. I will not make excuses for how I neglected you and how I’m an absent husband. Even so, I was faithful."
