Chapter twenty two

"Then let's drink to the fullest," Charlie declared, raising his glass with determination. He gazed at his sister, their cups clinking together once again, the sound reverberating in the air.

His sister's question pierced through the jovial atmosphere. "Little brother, did you ever find out why your ex-wife divorced you? You never really told me, and it seemed so sudden," she inquired, her concern evident in her eyes. Charlie's hand instinctively went to his chest, as if trying to ease the pain.

A wave of sadness washed over him as he pondered the question. "My heart aches, truly. I loved her deeply, and my heart would flutter each time I was near her. I never anticipated that one day she would wake up and simply want to end our marriage. It all stemmed from her belief that I wasn't worthy of her status," his words trembled with a mix of hurt and regret. His sister couldn't help but feel a twinge of sympathy for him.

It seemed like she was casting a skeptical gaze my way, perhaps thinking I intended to snatch her little brother away." A smile played on Charlie's lips in response."Don't worry about that," he reassured her, his voice calm and soothing. "Fiona may come across as protective, but she's actually a very kind and caring person. As long as you are faithful and genuine, you'll get along just fine.

Please accept my sincerest apologies for any offense caused."His tone, infused with a mixture of disappointment and anger towards his ex-wife, underscored his remarks. However, he quickly shifted gears and attempted to persuade his friend."It's crucial not to let the actions of your ex-wife affect your perspective on others. We are all unique individuals and cannot be judged in the same way. Please consider that we are different, and it would be unfair to assume that everyone behaves similarly."After the passing of your ex-fiance, you continued to harbor affection for this place, finding solace in its familiar embrace.
