Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Maxine had always been aware of that , given her circumstances , marrying Sebastian was viewed by outsiders as nothing short of gold diggie Back when Sebastian's grandfather was still alive , he had arranged their marriage . Maxine played it cool on the surface , looking mature and composed . But come on , she was only nineteen then . There was no way she would not be smitten by such an excellent man . She had been a top student , skipping grades and graduating before she turned twenty , then marrying Sebastian . After marriage , instead of lounging around as a rich housewife as some suggested , she pursued her dreams to prove herself and not let Sebastian underestimate her . She got pregnant soon after the wedding and , just two months postpartum , aced her graduate school entrance exam on the first try . Those were the busiest yet happiest years of her life . Everything she did wasn't just to fulfill her own potential but also to show Sebastian that she was more than worthy of him . Too bad , Sebastian never seemed to stop and appreciate her efforts . Maxine didn't demand much ; she thought their mutual respect was fine .

Even until the day we divorce , my heart is still full of hope and love for you . " I even wondered if you'd feel uneasy at losing me . But now , I'm just tired . " Sebastian was at a loss for a second , asking , " Loved me ? Tired ? Maxine , are you saying you fell in love with someone el Maxine remained calm , raising her eyes to meet Sebastian's gaze . " No , I didn't fall in love with someone else . I just don't want to love you anymore because it's exhausting . " As for what you said about I might not be able to do certain things without those conditions … be it then . But no matter what , I need to go ahead and do it anyway . 09 Wed 18 Jun Chapter 28 "Just like how I never regretted loving you . As for Ivanna's case and any similar cases that may come up in the future , once they land and them my all ; no regrets .
