Chapter 108- Pent-up rage
Earl remained silent the entire way home, his ears ringing from what Declan had said.
'Don't give up on Amber.' Those words stuck like thorns in his heart.
It was not that he had never tried to improve his relationship with her. He had obeyed her and pleased her in the way she preferred. He had tried to be a good husband by taking care of her and accepting her flaws. Unfortunately, his efforts were not enough to win her heart, which had already belonged to Sean. Amber's wild nature and her harsh words had repeatedly crushed his heart and self-esteem.
Earl had already given up on her a long time ago. He no longer had any hope or expectations from this relationship. He had been maintaining this marriage only to wait for the right time to get away. Even after his determination, he still felt a stinging sensation after hearing Declan's words.
