Alex listened to Isabel as she paused, glancing at him to gauge his reaction, hoping he wouldn't frown or ask her to stop. But Alex remained silent, ready to hear her out.
She was filled with excitement, believing their happiness and marriage could be restored.
"This isn't how we started, Alex. We loved each other and were happy. We were the best of friends, enjoying each other's company.
What happened to us? Where did I go wrong? What is my fault? If I've sinned, I will apologize and make sure it doesn't happen again.
I love you, Alex. Why do you seem to dislike me all of a sudden? Why do you think poorly of me? Have I ever behaved in a way that goes against what you want or expect?
Is it because of my sister Lilian? Please don't do this to me. I've never been with anyone else but you, even if I knew it was wrong to be with you back then.
Lilian isn't your wife anymore. Please don't betray me with her; that would hurt me even more."
