Chapter 377 In Love With Nia:>35

• Feeling that way, it had been easy to attempt to drive these interlopers away, these people who'd come to claim her for their own family when she knew she wasn't and never had been one of them. She wanted to keep on being Bethany Keyes, married to Corey Warren, not this Hu'e whatever persona they were trying to saddle her with.
• Even so, the look on that girl's face, in her eyes, the hurt she'd caused her, hadn't made Bethany feel any better. She'd set out to hurt these people for intruding in her life, and she'd succeeded, and knowing she was wrong had only compounded it for her, because having gone there, it had been easy to keep lashing out, and that poor kid hadn't done anything to deserve it. Bethany felt wretched, and found herself wishing she'd been less dismissive, less obnoxious, and a little more understanding of what those two kids had been doing and where they'd had to go to find her.
• Now it was too late; she'd burned her bridges there, no doubt about that. Corey had gone to try and make it right, but she doubted he could, nor should he have had to; it should have been her, and that made her feel even more wretched, that she'd forced poor Corey to go and try and undo what should never have happened at all. Bethany looked at herself in the hall mirror. She needed to apologise, but she didn't know how she could, and Corey shouldn't be trying to do it for her. The look on his face had hurt her deeply, and she knew she'd lost a little of him because of this, and that hurt even more.
