Andrew’s attempts at persuasion fell short.

All he could offer was another heartfelt apology.

“I’m truly sorry.

I turned away, gazing out the window, seeking solace in the passing scenery.

With our conversation at a standstill, Ivy wasted no time in casting blame my way.

“Darling, you were too harsh on Caleb.

If you treated him with the same tenderness you show Andrew, things might not have spiraled like this.

Her accusation ignited a spark of discomfort within me, and I retorted with a frown, “Caleb slandered me in every possible way.

Why don’t you acknowledge his disrespect towards me? Regardless of your feelings for him, there has to be a Limit, okay?”

Ivy’s discontent mirrored my own as she continued to defend Caleb.

“You never clarified your relationship with Andrew to him.

Can you blame him for misunderstanding you? His reaction was only natural.

Without it, things could’ve been much worse.

My rebuttal came swiftly, fueled by indignation.

“Did he explain what happened between him and Alexandria? If he didn’t offer clarity, why should I? Do I not deserve any respect?”

As our argument simmered, Andrew interjected with a request, his tone hesitant yet sincere.

“Debra, I have a rather bold favor to ask.

Would you consider it?”

“What is it?” I inquired, intrigued.

Andrew’s plea was heartfelt as he confessed, “Could you continue to play the role as my fiancee?”

I was taken aback.

I hadn’t yet figured out how to navigate this predicament.

I had promised Andrew that I would play the part of his fiancee, but now I was certain of my status as Caleb’s wife.

Continuing to pose as Andrew’s fiancee felt wrong.

Sensing my hesitation, Andrew pleaded, “Debra, you know Shirley still hasn’t given up.

If she discovers that you were merely pretending to be my fiancee, she’ll undoubtedly persuade Veronica to force me into marrying her.

I have a deep aversion to Shirley.

If I were to marry her, I would endure a Lifetime of suffering.

Would you be willing to assist me?”

Before I could utter a word, Ivy’s refusal cut through the air, firm and unwavering.

“How does this concern us, darling? Kindly decline and let him know you’re already married to Caleb.

I pursed my lips, torn between conflicting emotions.

Just moments ago, Caleb and I had a heated argument, his words cutting deep.

Despite the hurt, I couldn’t accept Andrew’s offer.

It felt wrong, though I didn’t know why.

So, I chose silence.

Andrew let out a heavy sigh, his plea tinged with desperation.

“Please help me for the sake of saving your life, okay? I’m running out of options.

Embarrassment flooded me, rendering me unable to refuse.

“My circumstances are rather complicated at the moment.

Can you give me some time to think it over?”

“Of course,” Andrew replied, relief softening his features.

I turned my gaze out the window, enveloped in a cloud of melancholy that trailed alongside me.
