Chapter 50: Starting over

Peggy POV

What did he just say? He's letting me go? 

I was staring at him, I couldn't say anything.

"I don't want to hurt you again. We may really end up hating each other if we continue this. We could be parents to Caden. I promise I will be a good father to him so come home. You could stay at the house in Primrose. It was yours after all. I could stay in Queen's." He said without looking at me.

Is he talking about the house he bought for me? So it's still there. Wait. He said he'll let me go. Is it for good? Do I really want that? I know he's right. If I marry him, it's impossible that he won't need to force me again. But would it really be forced? Today, it was. But if he just asked me earlier, I would willingly surrender myself to him.

I was hurt when he forced me. But I wasn't really mad at him. I was just disappointed. I wanted something from him. I want him to want me because he loves me, not because of lust.
