Rebirth In Divorce My New Mr. Perfect (by Summer Knowles) novel Chapter 546

"Mr. Reynolds, is there something specific you want to tell me?" Sarah asked, neither humble nor proud.

"You're clever. Mia trusts and depends on you, but that doesn't erase my concerns. The incident with Tina’s suicide made headlines across the East Coast - how she left only you to blame."

Sarah smiled faintly. "I wouldn't expect you to ask such naive questions. Tina’s case was public. If I'd done anything wrong, the psychiatric community would have condemned me. Only those who choose to stay blind believe otherwise."

Her boldness surprised him. He studied her with renewed interest.

"Miss Sanders, you're intriguing. But that alone isn't enough to stand as Zachary's equal."

Sarah shook her head. "Mr. Reynolds, I've never sought to be with Zachary. Besides, isn't Vivian your choice? Zachary and I are done. I'm only here because you sent for me."

William chuckled. "True, the Sanders family can't compare to the Wilsons. I've known Vivian since childhood - I know exactly who she is. But I never interfere in Zachary's personal matters."

Sarah hesitated, confused by his meaning.

She'd expected the usual - offers of money to leave his grandson, reminders of their social gap.

Why was he saying this?

"I... don't understand."

"You understand perfectly well, Miss Sanders. If Vivian and Zachary do get engaged, I hope your well wishes will be sincere." His tone shifted suddenly.

Sarah took two full seconds to respond. "They will be."

"Mr. Reynolds, about Mia's condition?" Sarah couldn't help asking.

Soon she might discover what he'd desperately hidden. He couldn't prevent it.

Sending Mia to Sarah was like arming a time bomb - no one knew when it would explode.

All he could do was live with this anxiety.

He'd made so many mistakes. He loved Sarah - but what did that matter now?

Her cold treatment, her distance - he thought he was strong enough to bear it, to watch her drift away.

But when the distance grew too great, the pain still tore through him. The constant tension was unbearable.

"Sarah, I can finally come to you!" Mia beamed.
