Wife You Discarded is a Billionaire's Crush novel Chapter 175

The room was dim, the curtains drawn tightly.

A long figure was outlined under the covers, and she could faintly hear the man's steady breathing.

Liliana stood at the foot of the bed, just able to make out the man's vague silhouette.

His eyes were closed and his thin lips were set in a firm line, exuding an air of authority even in sleep.

On the rare occasions he worked from home, he would take a nap in the afternoon.

She used to get so excited, lying beside him, unable to sleep, just watching him.

For two years, Cedric had only come home at night, eaten dinner, and gone to bed.

They spent less than ten hours together each day, and six or seven of those were spent sleeping.

During the rest of the time… she never had a chance to really look at him, to just be with him peacefully.

Sometimes at night, no matter how tired she was, she couldn't bear to fall asleep, wanting to gaze at him for just a little longer.

In this marriage, this relationship, she had been the subservient one from the very beginning.

It wasn't about feeling wronged; seeing clearly that he didn't love her, she could only blame herself for not being clear-headed enough.

She had dived headfirst into this love, trapping herself in the turmoil he created, unable to break free.

Her emotions rose and fell, slowly settling from a chaotic complexity into a state of calm.

Just a little longer, she told herself. As soon as Hale Preston got better, she could leave.

Since she had to endure it either way, there was no point in deliberately making Cedric unhappy.

After all, when Cedric was unhappy, she was the one who suffered.

She turned and went downstairs to prepare dinner.

Since they hadn't eaten lunch, she made a lavish dinner.
