Chapter 350:

But what about her?

Did he ever stop to think about what she meant to him?

“Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about the past,” Brandon said. “Sometimes, I feel lost. Like things shouldn’t have turned out this way. I remember when we first got together… Our first kiss… You curled up in my arms, saying you loved me and that we’d always be together.”

His voice softened. “I remember how hard we worked. How we agreed to move forward together. That we couldn’t keep holding on to the old ways. We fought to change Watson Group. We led the team, broke through technical barriers, and earned contracts overseas. I remember those days, Millie. Side by side, through thick and thin. And…” His voice broke. “And the baby we lost.” Brandon’s nose stung. He couldn’t keep his voice steady anymore. He stared blankly at the trees outside.

He stopped talking.

Millie sighed gently, still not looking at him. Her eyes turned to the other window.

She tried to control her breathing. Tried to stay calm.

“You said you’d stay with me. And you did. But what I promised you… I haven’t done that. But I will. I’ll be your support. Just like I promised,” Brandon replied.

“Millie…”

Millie didn’t answer. She just kept her gaze on the rain-streaked window, hiding her face.

The past they shared… It had been beautiful.

They had faced so much together. Leaned on each other. Survived it all. She used to believe that after all those years—after all those nights—they would walk through life hand in hand. That they would be each other’s forever.

But not long after they got married… He fell for someone else.

Seven years. Defeated by a few fleeting months with Vivian. She had lost. Or maybe… she just never truly understood him.

She didn’t know anymore.

“Trust me, okay?” Brandon said quietly.

Millie lowered her eyes. She took a long breath. “What about Vivian?” she asked. Her voice dropped to a whisper. “Brandon, how do you expect me to trust you after everything?”

The silence that followed was heavy.

Millie bit her lip, holding herself back.

Then Brandon said, “She only has five months. After that… Everything will go back to normal.”

Millie let out a hollow laugh. Tears finally rolled down her cheeks. “Brandon, do you really think I’m that cheap? That I’d just stand by while you’re with her and say nothing?”

She looked straight at him.

Did he really expect her to forgive everything? To forget the affair? To come back to him five months later like nothing ever happened? As if the fact that he left her for another woman never existed?

Millie nearly voiced all of this. But tomorrow, they’d get divorced.

That thought held her back.
