A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1031

A poor judge of character!

He truly hadn't known Brinley Seabrook's true face back then, but Starla's question just now was far too sharp.

She was right...

If Brinley had actually been a kind person, wouldn't his actions have still hurt Starla?

Was he regretting being blind to someone's true nature? Or was he genuinely regretting losing her?

Starla pushed him away. "Even now, you still don't understand what you actually did."

And with that level of ignorance, he still wanted another chance?

If he could hurt her over a misjudgment of character back then, who's to say he wouldn't hurt her in the future just because someone else happened to be genuinely kind?

Fairfax felt like he was suffocating. "I know you won't forgive me. What kind of person Brinley really is has nothing to do with me anymore."

"I just regret losing you."

His tone grew frantic as he spoke.

He was truly panicking...

Perhaps there was regret for being played for a fool, but the overwhelming agony came from the realization that she was gone.

If he could do it all over again!

He would never have taken care of Brinley in a way that upset her. Just as she had pointed out before, there were plenty of ways to financially support a widow; he never needed to do it personally.

He just hadn't listened to her back then!

"Starla," Fairfax breathed, meeting her icy gaze. He instinctively reached out to grab her hand.

She took a step back.

The distance and absolute frost in her eyes made her stance on their relationship crystal clear. She was drawing a permanent line.

Seeing her withdraw, Fairfax's desperation spiked.

He lunged forward, gripping her wrist tightly. "I can't lose you."

Her desire to leave him was painfully obvious, yet he didn't have the slightest intention of letting her go.

"Oh, really?" Starla let out a cold laugh.

Right now, no matter what he said, it sounded like an absolute joke to her!

Just like the news of his death—she hadn't cared at all.

Yes...

If she couldn't even bring herself to care about his supposed death, why would she care about his inner turmoil and suffering over losing her?

To her, everything he did was nothing more than a pathetic farce!
