Series 31
“Actually, there’s something I want to discuss with you.” Oscar released a weary sigh, fixing Wren with a look that cut straight to the heart of the matter. “You’re here to talk about the divorce with Alexander, correct?”
Startled by his bluntness, Wren hesitated and then nodded in confirmation.
“Before I moved abroad, Alexander and I agreed to part ways already,” Wren confessed. “But he never showed up at the courthouse, and I was in a hurry to leave, leaving the divorce delayed.”
A shadow fell across Oscar’s face.
The revelation that Wren and Alexander had decided on divorce three years ago shocked him.
“I don’t agree!” Oscar said, his voice thick with anger.
With a grave expression, he continued, “Wren, it’s clear that you married Alexander out of love for him. Perhaps he’s cold towards you now, but feelings can change over time. Do you recall your early days in our family? Initially, I too had my reservations about you.”
At these words, a gentle smile touched Wren’s lips.
Indeed, Oscar had initially been the least welcoming towards her when she had married Alexander.
However, her persistent efforts had gradually won him over. She had taken more than six months to let Oscar accept her as his daughter-in-law.
Wren had always held onto the hope that her steadfast love and dedication might, one day thaw Alexander’s indifference toward her…
Yet, after three years, she had come to the painful conclusion that Alexander’s heart remained unmoved.
