Goodbye My Arrogant Ex (Marguerite and Leonard) novel Chapter 362

A man that selfish, who would cast aside his own mother—who else could he possibly care about? His wife? Marguerite doubted their marriage would last a lifetime. If Aaron ever lost everything, she was certain a woman like Edith would leave him without a second thought. They were two of a kind, concerned only with their own interests.

Seeing them act that way was infuriating. They were the reason his grandmother was in this state, and Marguerite’s heart ached for the old woman, but she felt completely powerless.

“I don’t know what I can do to help her,” she murmured, staring out the window. “And I don’t understand them at all. If Grandma… if she doesn’t make it, will they feel any regret? Will they be able to live with themselves?”

Leonard reached over and took her hand. “Our family is complicated,” he said, his voice low. “They’ve always been selfish. Expecting them to be anything else is a losing battle. It’s better not to waste your energy being angry with them.”

He squeezed her hand gently. “All we can do is our best for Grandma. As long as we do that, we can live with a clear conscience.”

“Grandma doesn’t need a crowd of people around her anyway,” he added. “And if we’re there, we’ll just end up fighting with them. Sometimes, it’s better to keep our distance.”

He had figured them out long ago. He knew exactly what they wanted.
