    Sasha’s heartbeat suddenly quickened.


    To say that Jameson’s words had no impact on her would be a lie.


    Over the past three years, she had endured countless grievances and shed many secret tears because


    of Calista.


    It was also because of Calista that Sasha finally decided to divorce Jameson.


    Sasha couldn’t help but think how much better it would have been if Jameson had said these things


    earlier.


    It might have spared her some heartache and perhaps even left room for reconciliation.


    But now, it was indeed toote..


    Sasha’s heart had already turned cold, and she had seen the harsh truth.


    Jameson simply had no heart for her, Calista or no Calista. He would never truly prioritize her.


    Rather than deceiving herself, it was better to wake up to reality sooner.


    “Honestly, if you had said these things three months ago, I would have been moved to tears and utterly


    devoted to you.”


    Jameson felt a stir in his heart at Sasha’s words.


    However, he then saw her mocking smile as she continued, “But now, these words only add to my


    frustration. They don’t bring me any happiness.”


    Jameson frowned deeply, his hands clenched tightly at his sides.


    Sasha said, “I gave you so much time, three whole years. How many ‘three years’ does a woman have


    in her life?


    “Now, to awaken and express your apologies, don’t you think it’s a bitte, Mr. Leigh? You’re such a


    clever man. If only you had put in a little effort, you could have understood my situation. But you chose


    to turn a blind eye.


    “Is it because you were deceived by others? No, that’s just a superficial reason. In the end, it’s all


    because you didn’t love me.


    “You didn’t love me, and that’s why you never cared about me. You didn’t worry about whether I would


    be wronged, nor did you care about the truth. As long as someone by your side lied a little, you were


    quick to condemn me.”

    Sasha spoke each word with deliberate emphasis, as if dissecting her own heart.

    It was a painful process, but she couldn’t stop.

    It’s true that wounds need to be exposed to the sunlight to heal. Otherwise, if kept hidden, they would


    not only fail to heal but might fester and worsen, causing more pain and suffering.


    “You only realize the truth ande to apologize after I’ve given up and left you. If you truly felt sorry,


    what were you doing all this time?”


    Pain shed in Jameson’s eyes as he instinctively responded, “I…”


    “What’s the use of an apology now? It doesn’t change the fact that you didn’t love me. Why say it and


    embarrass me?”


    “I didn’t mean that. I genuinely wanted to apologize. I thought… it would make you feel a lot better.”


    Jameson exined btedly, realizing that he had always owed Sasha an apology. He hadn’t


    cherished her, nor had he protected her as he should have..


    He didn’t want to cause her more distress. He only hoped that she would be better off, so he wanted to


    clear the air.


    But he hadn’t expected it to make her so upset.


    “Forget it.” Sasha suddenly smiled.


    Jameson looked at her, his expression slightly startled.


    “Let bygones be bygones. I admit I was resentful before, but now… I truly don’t mind


    anymore.


    “It’s not that I don’t mind the hurt I’ve suffered before, but I feel… those past events can bepletely


    let go of now.”


    Jameson, hearing Sasha’s words, felt uneasy. “How can you…”


    “Because I know that you will never find a woman better than me. Every time I think that this is your


    retribution, I feel satisfied.”
