บท 728: Cutting the strings- Part 3

Lucy had waited until Samuel finished packing his things to make it easier for him to leave the room. For days, she had been pondering on what to do and how to do it. Being the former princess, she knew people would not take it well to separate from her husband, but she doubted she could live with him like this anymore. 

Samuel seemed more than shocked by her words, and he snapped his head around to look at her. "What? That's ridiculous. Why do you want time away from me?" he questioned her. He looked at Lucy as if she had lost her mind. 

It was only a few minutes ago that she mentioned her displeasure towards Theodore, so how did it end up in her wanting to be away from him?! 

"I think I got used to spending time away from you," responded Lucy without meeting his eyes.

The smile on Samuel's face fell, and his eyes narrowed at her, "This is not about you wanting to spend time by yourself. It is about that bastard Theodore, isn't it?"
