Patrick Grant listened to Annabelle Linton's words, looking at her in surprise.
The girl standing before him now had truly changed.
She used to be such a gentle and frail girl, always saying what others wanted to hear. She especially had no say in her own marriage.
But now, an inexplicable steeliness ran through every word she spoke.
On the surface, it sounded like she was trying to have a simple discussion. But hadn't she thought through the consequences of every single sentence, backing him into a corner with her veiled insinuations?
What did she mean by 'while we can still discuss the divorce calmly and decide on our future relationship'?
What would happen if things weren't calm?
Would everyone drop the pretense and scream at each other until they were red in the face?
Patrick Grant didn't think Annabelle Linton was being unreasonable.
On the contrary, he felt gratified by the woman Annabelle had become. More than that, he admired her.
