Chapter 36 Sudden Change

Xavier~
"Can I come to meet you at your hotel tomorrow?" I received her message on my phone at midnight. My mind was already overflowing with numerous thoughts, making it difficult for me to sleep, and the strange message she sent me only heightened my anxiety. Why would she want to meet me at a hotel? Why is she still awake?
I wanted to talk to her right away, but thinking about her husband stopped me from calling. I drank whisky to help calm the intense feelings of humiliation, remorse, and dread. But one bottle wasn't enough to dull the overwhelming thoughts swirling in my mind. Why does she always push me away when I try to keep her safe? I know she's moved on with her life, but I can't stop trying to protect her.
