The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 575

The more I listened to her, the more bizarre Chloe sounded.

I said, "I don't get it."

"If you don't get it, I will explain it to you in detail!" Chloe snarled.

She continued, "First of all, you have poor tolerance for a woman! Back in my day, no wife would divorce a cheating husband. Wives would carry on with their lives, remaining faithful as they waited for their husbands to turn over a new leaf! Nobody would carelessly choose divorce like you did!"

Surprised by how brazen Chloe was, I chuckled and said, "Back in your day, nobody divorced because of the cultural restrictions of that time.

"Even when people were hurt by their marriages, nobody dared to divorce. It was because they feared being mocked and gossiped about. Most importantly, they didn't have income, and they may not have survived after getting a divorce.

"But now, that era has become history."

Tired from drawing over the past few hours, I got up and sat on the bed. Relaxedly, I said, "Everyone has their own jobs and independent incomes. They are not financially dependent on anyone, which naturally makes them independent as individuals. That is the same for me."

I leaned back and continued, "I don't care how people may view me or what they say about me. Even after leaving Steven, I'm still living a good life."

There had been countless moments when I felt relieved that I had divorced Steven. Otherwise, I might have never known how a normal couple should be interacting with each other.

"That is why there is no reason for me to stay with Steven and endure his mistreatment," I said.
