"You think I'm playing you for a fool? Just like everyone else, you think I'm using William's love for me?"
"Aren't you?" Isaac asked instinctively. He regretted his words the moment they left his mouth.
The situation between Brittany and William was like a thorn in his heart.
That thorn was then deeply embedded in his heart, causing him unbearable pain. If he was suffering, then Brittany shouldn't have had it easy either!
"William has been good to me, and I'm grateful," Brittany said, tears streaming down her face. "Isaac, who are you to question me? Don't forget where you were when I was in the most danger. You were on a plane! You were in Y country with Joie. Rumors about you two were all over the place. Where were you when I was being ridiculed?
Isaac, before you question me, do you think you've been fair to me?"
Isaac was hit where it hurt; his breath hitched, "I've already explained this to you..."
"I've also explained the situation with William."
Isaac realized he had said something he shouldn't have and wanted to apologize, but Brittany, covering her eyes, sobbed, "Isaac, there's no trust left between us. Let's get a divorce."
Brittany had already forgiven him, but every word Isaac had said that night felt like a knife to her heart.
He had always known about her debt to William.
She thought that even if he couldn't fully understand, he would never doubt her like everyone else did.
She never expected that Isaac would also suspect their relationship, even thinking that she was using William.
The mention of divorce filled Isaac with rage. He roughly grabbed her hand and lunged at her, "Divorce? You want to divorce me?"
Brittany was startled, tears welling up in her eyes, "Yes, I want to divorce you."
This time, she was serious.
