Chapter 217 Power over Passion

• "Is liking someone really that important?" Amy tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, her tone calm. "Compatibility is more important. Sharing the same frequency and helping each other is the secret to a long-lasting relationship. Look at you and Mr. Hartwell. He liked you. He even married you, but so what? You still ended up parting ways. How long can 'liking' really last?"
• I was stunned by the confidence radiating from her face. At that moment, I felt a flicker of shame. She was right. A person's perspective sets the ceiling for their life. And my perspective had doomed me to be a casualty of marriage.
• "You think I want to be with Mr. Hartwell forever?" Amy gave a dismissive snort. "Wrong. He might want that, but I don't. I like his version now. Sharp mind, decisive action. With his advice and help, my career could soar. What I want is his business acumen. Love and sex? That's just seasoning for day-to-day life. Nice if you have it, but if not? No big deal." She spread her hands like it was all just a casual conversation.
