As for whether there were other reasons beyond these three, Freya couldn’t be sure, but she had a feeling things weren’t that simple.
So, she shook her head. “I’m not going with you. Go back to wherever you came from.”
“Why not? Louis is already a failure. Why are you still sticking around? He’ll only make you suffer. What are you holding
onto?”
Freya sighed. Thinking of the original Freya, her expression turned serious. “Marriage means sharing blessings and hardships. I’m his wife, so I should stand by his side. No matter what happens to him, I can’t abandon him. It’s not just about hardship or money. As long as we’re not divorced, I won’t leave him. Besides, this is when he needs me the most.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? He never treated you well in the first place! Why suffer for him? If I remember correctly, you two barely interacted. He just kept giving you money to spend, there was never any real connection!” Clement looked at Freya as if she had lost her mind.
Who said he didn’t treat me well? When he was rich, I received plenty of money every month. He might not have had time for me, but I could spend freely. Sure, that money might not have meant much to him, but no one’s wealth falls from the sky. He didn’t have to give it to me, but he did, and I should appreciate that. Now that he’s lost everything, he still lets me stay in this rental and is willing to give me most of his remaining money even if we divorce. He’s already been more than generous.”
Clement was incredulous. “That’s what you call ‘good‘?”
“If that doesn’t count as good, then what does? We never had feelings for each other to begin with. He’s done what he could out of decency, what more do you expect? You say he’s no good, but are you any better?”
“Well, back in college, when I had no money, you constantly looked down on me, assuming I was trying to cling to you for wealth. We had known each other for nearly two years and dated, yet you never spent a single cent on me, not even for a proper gift. The only thing you ever gave me were flowers you picked off the street. On the other hand, I worked tirelessly at part–time jobs just to earn money for you. But when Louis took an interest in me, you told me not to go with him, only to turn around and get involved with my best friend. And you call that ‘good‘?”
Clement was about to speak, but Freya cut him off. “And another thing, you didn’t come looking for me because you like me. You just think stealing Louis’s woman would give you a sense of satisfaction. If you truly had feelings for me, then knowing all along that Louis only gave me money, why didn’t you try to take me from him back when he was still successful? I fell for your lies before because I liked you, but once I saw you for the sc*mbag you are, I woke up. I’m not stupid.”
“What nonsense are you spouting? What kind of person do you take me for? I really do like you! Did Louis say something to you and make you misunderstand me?” Clement’s gaze darkened.
Freya sighed. “You’re giving yourself too much credit. Someone like Louis wouldn’t even mention you in front of me, he doesn’t care enough to notice you. The only one fixated on him is you, constantly trying to prove your existence in his world. There’s a saying, ‘A person sees the world as a reflection of themselves. Go wherever you need to go, I won’t waste harsher words on you. You can only deceive those who like you. If a woman neither loves you nor wants your money, then tell me, what do you think you are to her?”
