I Quit Being a StepMother Novel

Chapter 594 Kate didn't touch the toilet brush . Instead , she sank quietly against the wall , hugging herself while fighting back her tears . She prided herself on being reasonably smart , yet now she couldn't find a single reason for what was happening . All she wanted was to go back to the way things were with Sawyer and live that happy life again . She regretted it deeply . Why had she been so reckless as to mention divorce ? The more thought she gave it , the more she realized that everything had started changing the moment she brought up that subject .

True to his word , Sawyer showed up to inspect half an hour later . As he glanced at the discarded brush on the floor , he narrowed his eyes . " Did you not hear what I said just now ? " Startled , Kate jerked her head up and scrambled to her feet . Ignoring the numbness in her legs , she grabbed Sawyer's arm . " I'm sorry ! It's my fault . I shouldn't have mentioned divorce . I shouldn't have taken your love and care for granted . Please forgive me . " I was just worried about my dad . It's my duty as her daughter , after all . You understand me , right ? I'll reflect on myself .

Can we go back to how we were ? " Kate cried , tears streaming down her face . This time , she was genuinely crying . She wasn't putting on a show to defuse the situation . She felt heartbroken . How had she ended up shattering such a good life with her own hands ? Sawyer's eyes dropped , cold and unflinching , as he watched her tears fall . Whenever he remembered how two - faced she had been and how viciously she had insulted Sylvia , Sawyer wanted to strangle her on the spot and toss her in front of Connor .

He sharply asked , " Why does every excuse you make always start with ' I was just ' ? You were just ... You were just ... Ugh ! " Sawyer pulled away from her , as if she were something utterly repulsive . " You always have an excuse . Even when it came to the despicable things your father did , you chose to hide , cover up , and even make excuses for him when you told me about them . " How can you be so innocent ? How can you always have a reason ? How is it that in this entire world , only you seem to have a justification for everything ?

" Each question he asked fell colder and heavier than the last , driving Kate step by step toward the toilet . She nearly lost her balance . Staring at the man before her , who looked cold and unyielding , she felt completely estranged from him . Sawyer smirked , then suddenly yanked her hair . The pain made her grit her teeth . 1/2 " You and your father are cut from the same cloth . You're both disgusting , despicable , pretentious , and self- satisfied , thinking yourselves above everyone while your lives are so fragile !

Every single time , you make me forget all sense of civility and decorum . " He restrained himself from using coarser words . After releasing her hair , he looked down at her with piercing scrutiny . " Sometimes I just don't understand why you hold such grudges against Ms. Ravelle and Mr. Snider . The facts are clear , yet you obsess over them and do so many cruel things . " The mention of Rhea struck at the heart of Kate's deepest insecurities . Frowning , she clenched her hands tightly . " You ... " " You're only a little better - looking than the average person .

Your main advantage is the presence you give off . Take that away , and you'd be lost in the crowd . " But Ms. Ravelle ? She's dazzling inside and out , humble , and genuine .
