She had actually thought for a moment that Darren Heath wanted to keep her by his side.
A glimmer of joy and anticipation sprung up in her heart.
She thought that if he asked her to stay, she would be willing to do so. From then on, aside from being a wife and mother, she would never interfere in things she shouldn't meddle in again.
She wouldn't...make the same mistakes again.
Her expectations were as high as her disappointment at this moment.
With tears in her eyes and regret on her face, Lady Octavia asked, "Darren, will we ever have a chance to be together again? If I'm willing to change and won't do anything to upset you in the future, will we have a chance to be together again?"
"Can I...still be your wife?"
Who else would love and cherish her as Darren had for so many years?
And who could compare to his excellence?
Deep down, Lady Octavia knew that without Darren Heath, she would never find a better man.
And she wouldn't try to find one either.
