Chapitre 236: Chapter 236: I Hate This House

I can’t believe it. I can’t believe he’s already with someone else. I meant nothing to him, just an obligation to Graham.

With shaky hands, Jessi let herself into the house and poured herself a huge glass of wine. Her face burned with humiliation.

Such a pretty young blonde. I knew he was better off without me. She stalked around the kitchen, glass in hand. The walls seemed to close in on her, and she burst out onto the pool deck, gasping for air.

I hate this house.

The realization shook her. Since Graham had had it redone after the kids moved out, she’d always felt like a visitor in someone else’s home. All the cold, impersonal furnishings, things that came from designer showrooms and had no stories, no soul. She’d complained to Graham about that very thing, and he’d just chuckled.

I hate this house.

It was the thing that had driven a wedge between her and Judd, and like an idiot, she’d chosen the house. She couldn’t stand it any longer.
