The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 362

I didn't know who left the comment, but I could still sense that they were deliberately trying to trick the readers into thinking I had done something wrong in the marriage.

But, they had used mutual affection as an excuse.

Wasn't Jessica's behavior just an interference in someone else's marriage? When Steven and Jessica were together, wasn't that considered cheating?

I didn't argue and simply responded calmly, "So, what you're saying is, if your husband got with another woman during an ongoing marriage… As long as your husband and that other woman truly love each other, it's not wrong?

"Even if the man betrayed the marriage? And the woman selfishly hurt the wife?"

The reply came almost immediately. "What else would it be?"

At this point, I couldn't help but sneer as I slowly typed my response. "By your reasoning, what's the point of marriage? Isn't marriage meant to bind and be loyal to one another?"

The person responded quickly, "But if the other person no longer loves you, and you're still holding onto the title of 'wife,' don't you think your behavior itself is problematic?"

I looked at the words and found it laughable.

I was clearly the innocent one in this situation… Yet somehow, the responsibility was all being placed on me through her words and insinuations.

I replied slowly, "Even if you're right and he truly loved his first love, then why is he stalling on the divorce while being ambiguous with her?

"If, as you say, they truly love each other, then he shouldn't have married me! Even if he impulsively entered marriage with me, once his first love returned, he should have ended our marriage immediately, shouldn't he?"

After typing this, I added, "Honestly, I can't see any signs of true love between them."

The other person didn't respond for a long time.

Just when I thought they wouldn't reply, I suddenly got another notification. I clicked on it.

The reply said, "He's just soft-hearted and afraid of hurting you."

I couldn't hold back and quickly typed a response. "A truly soft-hearted man wouldn't cheat."
