“Roger that.”
Although it sounded ridiculous, Arsen still obeyed William’s order.
Just the thought that Rachel had done all this for Tyler, William felt as though something was stuck in his throat. It was bitter, suffocating, and impossible to ignore.
He had been with Rachel for seven years. She clearly loved him, too. She had decided to divorce him only because of Samantha.
William refused to believe that Rachel could be completely heartless toward him. He had known her since college–no one knew her better than he did.

tired of it.
He missed Rachel more. She had always been gentle when he needed her, and she gave him space when he needed it.
William didn’t want to argue with Samantha. Once she got upset, she would throw a fit again.
He suppressed his irritation.
“No, stop overthinking. I just haven’t been sleeping well. Let me take you home first.”
