Sebastian paused for a moment but said nothing more. He had once been desperate for a divorce, wanting to marry Joanna.
Since childhood, he'd grown accustomed to having Joanna by his side, depending on him. She even needed his comfort when a cockroach scared her to tears.
But Natalie was different. She never needed him for anything; she had always been strong.
When she was bullied, she would grit her teeth and bear it. When he abandoned her on the road in a snowstorm, she never complained.
But just because someone doesn't cry out in pain, does it mean they don't feel it?
It was only when Natalie listed his transgressions that he realized she had been hurting all along. She just didn't want to show him her pain because he was always busy.
Unlike Joanna, who would summon him no matter how busy he was the moment she felt wronged.
Sebastian drank in morose silence. Julian watched him with a knowing look. "Sebastian, don't tell me you're one of those classic jerks who only learns to cherish someone after they're gone?"
Sebastian replied flatly, "Maybe. When I had my accident, Joanna left. You said it yourself—she left on purpose because I was crippled and she didn't want to take care of me."
"But I kept thinking, I didn't need her to take care of me even if I was disabled. Her excuse was that my mother forced her away. It was only later that I realized I was the naive one."
"Natalie took meticulous care of me for two years, and because I was in a foul mood, I was never particularly kind to her…"
Sebastian trailed off. After Natalie left, all her good qualities seemed magnified.
It had gotten to the point where everything he did reminded him of her, especially when his stomach acted up.
