Go and reconcile with them, your spouse and children should be your top priority, I’m sorry I lead you on but I have come to realize that I don’t love you, yes I once did but not anymore, I love my family and I’m never going to leave them ever again” Evelyn said calmly and Roland walked out in tears.
Evelyn and Frederick’s relationship
Was not improving, They kept treating each other so casually, they had forgiven each other but was finding it hard to forget all the wrong they committed against each other. Frederick couldn’t live with the fact that another man had touched Evelyn, his wife.
And Evelyn had not forgotten about Frederick philandering lifestyle and the worst was he lived with his lover for one year in thier matrimonial home.
But in all these, they both felt guilty and they battled with themselves everyday to erase the guilt they felt.
They had sleepless nights trying to find out why they felt guilty until the answer they sought dawned on them. They finally realized how wrong they had been. “two wrongs can’t make a right and the only way their marriage can work is if they avoid throwing blames at each other and forgive each other wholeheartedly.
“i supposed to be your strength when you are weak and also pull you up when you fall. I feel betrayed and hurt by what you did that is going back to your ex, although I pushed you into his arms and I’m sorry, I have come to realize that we are both human and we are bound to make mistakes. It takes two to tangle, so for
this marriage to work again, the both of us would have to want it to work; we have to work like a team, Evelyn, I still love you and would always love you, And I promise I will never be unfaithful to you again, I have learnt my lesson and I will never hurt you ever again” Frederick had told Evelyn one evening after dinner.
