Chapter: 2407

"Ah!" Of course, he hated her!

"I hate you too," Aimee confessed, taking a deep breath to calm her overwhelming feelings. Her eyes still welled up. "If only I had known what kind of person you truly were, selfishly chasing your own desires without considering anything else... If only I had realized that your love was nothing more than a show, a hollow display of affection... I would never have married you. I know you might scoff at this, thinking I've reaped the benefits of being a Gibson, and now I want more. But these benefits aren't what I desire."

Aimee clenched her fists. "All I ever wanted was a husband who truly loved me and a happy, fulfilling family life. I didn't care if he was wealthy or poor. It just so happened that you were a Gibson. We've shared the same bed for twenty years. I hate you, and I hate myself for not seeing your true nature until now."

She lifted her hand to wipe away the tears from her eyes. "I deeply regret it. I regret marrying you."

Those words struck Wendell like a physical blow.
