Goodbye My Arrogant Ex novel Chapter 122

“You’re about to get engaged, you know. You have a responsibility—not just to yourself, but to your future spouse as well. If you keep drowning in guilt over him every day, your partner will suffer right along with you. She wasn’t there for your past, and it’s not fair for her to carry the weight of it.”

The psychologist couldn’t help but offer a few final words before leaving.

There was a time when Leonard used to be consumed by guilt too, struggling with severe mental anguish. Back then, he and the doctor spoke on the phone every single day.

Leonard had always been strong. At work, he could tackle any problem without breaking a sweat.

But not this.

Because of him, someone might be left permanently disabled. That was a burden even he found impossible to bear.

“Don’t worry. I’ll handle my own issues, and I’ll protect my fiancée too. I have no intention of telling her about any of this—I don’t want her to shoulder this pressure with me, or start questioning whether there’s something between me and her.”

That was Leonard’s most honest feeling: he wanted to carry this weight alone, without dragging someone innocent down with him.

“But if you’re still planning to look after this person after your engagement, you need to be honest with her,” the psychologist urged. “Otherwise, misunderstandings are inevitable.”

That was a valid point.

Leonard knew all too well—these things, for Marguerite Taylor, would be painfully unfair.
