Farewell to Love: The CEO's Desperate Chase novel Chapter 452

They had a huge fight that day.

By the end of it, she was in tears, while all he felt was an overwhelming sense of irritation.

Desperate to escape it all, he turned on his heel to leave. She only called out after him.

“Tye, we’ve been together for years. We’ve survived so much together. In your eyes, am I really someone who’d fake records, lie to you, deceive you?”

Back then, he didn’t answer. He just grabbed his coat and walked out.

But as he reached the foyer, he heard the sound of shattering glass upstairs.

Later, the housekeeper told him—

“Ma’am’s hands were shaking badly. She couldn’t hold onto her glass, and it slipped out of her grasp.”

“She’s been sick to her stomach, but the doctor said there’s nothing seriously wrong with her physically.”

“Sir, ma’am’s been crying all day. She’s not herself. Maybe you should check on her?”

…

At the time, he thought she was just putting on a show, creating drama to make him give in.

But now…

Tyler stared at the words on the medical chart: *Somatic symptoms*.

Only now did he realize just how terribly, unforgivably wrong he’d been.

The truth was right in front of him.

It felt as if all the air had been sucked from the room—he couldn’t breathe.

He knew, deep down, that after her father died, she’d lost everything—gone from a sheltered heiress to just another ordinary woman. Even after Paisley married Absolon Foster, things only got worse; Absolon Foster had abused her for years.

When Absolon Foster ended up behind bars, Paisley’s relationship with her soured as well.

He knew all this. He knew she’d made him her only anchor, her only family, her only love.

And still, he’d betrayed her.

He didn’t even dare imagine what she must have felt after he walked out that night.

Maybe her whole world collapsed.
