I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 618

I thought it was just a simple case of us not getting along. I never imagined our relationship was this toxic. With a face that handsome, there’s no way I wouldn’t have liked him. And if I married him, why wouldn’t I want to have his child?

Was he telling the truth? Was the problem him, or was it me?

I had my doubts, but there was no one I could ask to verify his story. I remembered someone named Gordon, who seemed to know a lot about me. I decided to placate Steven for now and figure things out later.

“You mentioned I was planning to go abroad for my career. What did I do? If you help me remember, maybe I can get my old job back, and when I get paid, I can pay you back. How does that sound?”

“You were always obsessed with your own beauty, convinced you could seduce anyone. You never cared for your studies, and the moment you graduated, you latched onto me. You pestered me relentlessly, determined to become a trophy wife and live a life of leisure. You never had a real career. As for moving abroad, you probably found a man better than me, so you divorced me to go chase after him.”

I was so shocked that I blurted out, “Impossible.”

He raised an eyebrow, his eyes boring into me. “What’s so impossible? Which part can’t you accept?”

I clenched my jaw. The denial had been instinctual, but on second thought, maybe it wasn’t so impossible. I’d seen my face in the mirror. My features and figure had a certain allure, perfect for a certain type of lifestyle.

And yet, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I wasn’t the kind of person who would just leech off someone else. But I wasn’t confident about that at all.

“I don’t know… Even if I was just a pretty face, you’re so young and successful. Why would you marry me?”

“Even the most successful men have physical needs. You’re beautiful, and I wanted you. So we got married.”

“But you just said you were good to me. If all I wanted was money, and you have so much, why would I divorce you?”

“Who knows? Maybe you got bored. Or maybe you just got stupid, deciding you’d rather play the field than stick with me.”

“…”

Was I really that stupid, that fickle, that much of a monster?

His words shattered my composure, and my mind went blank.
