Chapter 63

63 Clashing Realities

Bella was overwhelmed with frustration, unable to comprehend why Alex, whom she had tirelessly

pursued, remained captivated by Emma. She couldn’t fathom why Emma effortlessly achieved what

Bella longed for. Bella didn’t see herself as less deserving than Emma, yet Alex’s attention seemed

invariably fixed on Emma.

“If you regret your past with her, why not win her back?” Bella challenged Alex, aiming to provoke a

reaction. “She was so intent on marrying you; I’m sure she’d welcome you back.”

Alex’s expression hardened. “Are you trying to upset me? If so, I suggest you stop. It’s pointless.”

Alex recognized the manipulative intent behind Bella’s words. His pride was hurt, recalling the

manipulative tactics Emma employed to marry him. He had always felt marriage should be a voluntary

marriage.

Post–divorce, Alex began to see things differently. He realized he had never truly understood Emma’s.

Still, Alex hadn’t acknowledged any fault in his actions, assuming it was Emma who failed to express

her true feelings. He thought their marriage might have fared differently if she had been more open.

Descending to the lower floor, Alex arrived just as Emma finished dancing. Juliet was thrilled with the

plush toys Emma had won. Emma, now wearing her jacket, exuded a commanding presence,

contrasting with her earlier approachability.

As Alex approached Emma, he commented on her different appearance. “I saw you dancing. You’re

not at all like the person I knew.”

Emma acknowledged his observation. “What are you trying to say?”

Alex began to speak, but Emma interrupted, “You misunderstand. Our relationship has always been

unique. Even if I had shown you this side of me, it wouldn’t have changed our dynamic. Our
