Chapter 79
[Music Recommendation: Cuco - Lover Is a Day.]
"Men like you tend to get bored easily...." Kate murmured. Her voice sounded heavy. Her eyelids drooped as she didn’t want to stare at Henry as she was reminded that Henry could always cast her aside just like a used pair of shoes.
"I wish I could get tired of people easily as well. I think it would be fun to change partners without feeling anything about it," Kate was the type of woman who’d dedicate her life to the man she loved, and she naturally expected the same from her partner.
"I wish I don’t need to cling so hard to the person I love. Unfortunately, I’m that type of woman who would give everything I have for people important to me, especially my husband."
"I don’t mind if I have to get hurt if that’s what will keep our relationship going, if that’s what our relationship needs—or if that’s what he needs," Kate said.
She remembered Matt and all the sacrifices she had made for him. She sacrificed her money, her energy, her sanity, and her love just to keep him satisfied.
She was afraid of being lonely, scared that no man would ever accept her again if Matt decided to divorce her because she was unable to get pregnant.
After all, she spent her entire life with the people around her telling her that she was a plain, average, run-of-the-mill small-town girl who was only worthy of marrying an insignificant man and becoming a good housewife.
Everyone enjoyed reminding her that she was lucky that Matt chose to marry her.
Meanwhile, Matt had always been the star of their school and their community. He was a heartthrob when he was young, admired by many women and the envy of many men, so Kate had gotten used to the sneer of people saying that she didn’t deserve to be with Matt.
