Wayne Bailey discovered that the sourest taste in the world is having no right to be jealous, not even having his turn to be jealous; and the most painful taste is having no standing to accuse, not even having the qualification to cry out in pain.
He had originally wanted to ask her why she killed their child.
And she managed to plan all of it under his watch, keeping it a secret from him.
It was a child, their child!
...
His sanity was being eroded by madness, and he wanted to punish her by not giving her food, to punish her severely – throwing her to Nanny Boltie for discipline!
That wasn't until she completely learned her lesson, begging for mercy in front of him, and forever eradicating the thought of "divorce" from her mind.
However, it turned out that Wayne Bailey could not even find the courage to scold her harshly as he held her in his arms.
He could vent his anger on the servants, smash things in frustration, and hurt himself.
