The Marriage She Turned into War novel Chapter 228

"Abigail, stop deluding yourself, will you?"

I lifted my head slowly, looking at Abigail calmly, devoid of any emotion. It was as if I was staring at a stranger.

My detached demeanor startled her. She instinctively stepped back and looked at me skeptically as she asked through trembling lips, "How am I deluding myself? Tell me!"

I took a deep breath, trying my best to stay calm as I said indifferently, "The love between us has been worn out long ago, erased by the passing years. There's nothing there anymore. If you hadn't refused to let go and divorce me, we would've parted ways a long time ago, wouldn't we?"

My words struck a nerve. Abigail's eyes reddened, and after a brief moment of choking back her tears, she stormed toward me angrily.

"I will never divorce you! You're my husband, and you'll always be my husband for the rest of your life."

Her possessiveness was suffocating. In other words, to her, I was nothing more than a mere possession.

Even a passing glance from someone else was enough to infuriate her. She couldn't bear the thought of her plaything leaving her, much less being coveted by someone else.

"Samuel, don't say such things!"

She shook her head slowly, her gaze dark and menacing.

I chuckled lightly and said flatly, "What else do you expect me to say, Abigail? Do you even know why Joshua and Joanna showed up at our house today?"

She bit her lip, remaining silent as her gaze fixed sternly on me.

"Samuel, I don't like hearing what you're saying." She grabbed my hand in an attempt to make me look at her.

However, I pulled back and turned to leave. "I'm tired. I need to rest."

Yet, she wasn't willing to let me go. She shoved me against the wall and began unbuttoning my shirt. Her actions were frantic, as though she feared I would reject her.

Yet, what difference did it make?

I remained motionless, devoid of resistance, letting her humiliate me however she wanted.

"Abigail," I called her name softly, then asked, "Do you remember how long we've been married? Do you still remember what it felt like when you used to love me?"
