The Marriage She Turned into War novel Chapter 184

I couldn't stop wondering what exactly Abigail wanted from me.

What was she trying to do?

Tom's status and influence in the business world were widely known. Everyone was aware of how he had once pursued Abigail with great fanfare.

If he were to return to the country, the news about him would undoubtedly go viral. Any conflicts and disagreements between Abigail and I would surely come to light.

Tom had deep feelings for Abigail. It wouldn't be surprising if he began fervently pursuing her again.

I strangely felt an inexplicable sense of relief at this realization. If Tom managed to win her over and end up together with her, wouldn't that mean I would finally be free?

Yet, I didn't feel as happy as I thought I would at the thought of that. Instead, a suffocated frustration welled up inside me. It was as though I had lost something incredibly precious.

I couldn't help but recall the days we were back in school. I was always wary of Tom, afraid he would steal Abigail away from me.

I was insecure deep down. I was never confident in myself. I always believed that Abigail would choose someone better than me. I couldn't even muster the courage to look at Tom whenever he appeared in front of me.

The memories of being humiliated and insulted by him resurfaced. He used to point at me and curse me that I was with Abigail only for her money.

He would call me a clown, saying that Abigail was only with me for fun and that she would eventually grow tired of me before tossing me aside without a second thought.

She looked at me with gentleness and held my hand tightly before saying softly, "I've made up my mind about Samuel. He's the person I want to marry. No matter what anyone says and how they judge us, he's the only one I'll ever love in this lifetime."

Tom's expression darkened as he angrily said, "Your future will be doomed if you are with a broke guy like him! You'll end up hating each other sooner or later. Why put yourself through that?"

However, Abigail wasn't affected by his words. Instead, she smiled gently and said, "So what if that's true? Our happiness now is enough for me even if we can't stay together forever and our love doesn't last forever."

Tom was left speechless. He was frustrated as he stood up abruptly and stormed off.

I was so engrossed in the happiness of her unwavering commitment back then that I failed to realize that I had become a thorn in his side and an unbearable presence in his eyes.
