"If you do this, your mother is going to blame me again. She'll say I'm destroying your family. They've never accepted me."
"I'm sorry," Adrian Quincy apologized in a low voice.
"This isn't your fault. Why are you apologizing to me?"
"I've hidden this from you for so long... Are you angry with me?"
Claire Sinclair said nothing.
She had once told him that she hated it when he hid things from her 'for her own good,' but he had done it again anyway.
'He really did do it for my own good... Should I forgive him?'
Seeing her silence, Adrian Quincy knew she was upset. His heart ached as he laid out his final offer: "If you ask for a divorce right now, I'll agree."
Claire Sinclair's head snapped up, and she stared in shock at his flawless, handsome face.
"Have you thought it through?"
"If being with me will only bring you more and more pain, then I'll choose to let you go." His voice was calm as he spoke, devoid of any emotion.
