A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1052

But she remained silent. She wanted him to say it out loud himself.

Seeing that she had no intention of filling the silence, a deep struggle flashed in Fairfax's eyes.

"You know what I mean, right?"

His voice actually trembled as he spoke!

She was smart; she had definitely guessed his intentions. He... just didn't want to be the one to say it out loud!

"I don't," Starla replied flatly. "You talk. I'll listen."

The more evasive he acted, the more she wanted to force the words from his mouth. She wanted him to remember this exact moment forever, to remember exactly what he had said.

"You know. You're smart!"

"Does being smart mean I have to read your mind? I truly don't understand."

Fairfax fell silent.

No, she understood. She understood everything perfectly.

He took a deep breath.

"He's your flesh and blood!"

Her brother... so no matter what, he wouldn't do anything terrible to her.

Hearing this, a faint, cynical smile curved Starla's lips!

Her brother...

Listen to him. It was exactly as she had just told Yvonne. Deep down, Fairfax had used this exact twisted logic to justify his decision.

He told himself that Yardley was her family and wouldn't hurt her.

He had convinced himself completely.

She knew it. She knew he would trade her for Susanna.

She just knew him too well, and sometimes, that kind of understanding was simply heartbreaking.

Right now, Starla couldn't even describe the suffocating tightness in her chest!

Even though she had long let go of her feelings for Fairfax.

Even to the point where she felt little emotional turbulence when she thought he had died.

But nobody likes being abandoned. So even when you've moved on completely...

Hearing him say those words still brought an undeniable sting to her heart!

"I've already cut ties with him!"
