"What the fuck was he thinking? A mistress? Evelyn as my mistress?!" Alex raged as he ignored everyone and went straight to his car. The more he repeated the word 'mistress', the angrier he got.
If there was a timeline in this world where he had to take Evelyn as a mistress rather than a wife, then he would rather never marry for the rest of his life.
He knew how vulnerable and insecure Eve was, and putting her in such a shameful position would only hurt her even more, especially with her family background which was the biggest source of her insecurity.
Alex clenched the steering wheel, his heart began to ache as he felt even guiltier whenever he imagined his beloved being put in such a position.
Eve never demanded anything amazing from him when they dated. She thought he was just a broke boy, working from one random gig after another to get by every day. All she wanted was for them to have a stable life, and maybe start a family together.
