Four years was a long time and he had had plenty of other women since Kristen. But none had made his gut twist with raw need like she had done. Like she still did.
İn the meantime, h was celibate and raising his son! 🤦🏻‍♀️

The Purchased Wife
‘You should have told me the truth about Vanessa.’ ‘You should have told me the truth about Marcel.’ ‘That was different.’ ‘Why?’ ‘Because he wasn’t an issue when you married me. Vanessa was and once you knew it you should have told me the truth straight away instead of letting me spend the next twelve months imagining you in her arms instead of mine!’

The Purchased Wife
she’d also let him twist her into such knots by getting her to confess her crimes to him while he got away without confessing a thing about his mistress and his son! His son. The tears began to sting. (…) How could she let him do this to her? How could she go on letting him do this to her?

How? 🤦🏻‍♀️

It was 5 stars book but now Laura’s dramatic idiocy has begun thus I’m not sure anymore.

"Why did you leave me alone at all the work parties you dragged me to? You'd just abandon me to be with that Aimee woman."

"I didn't even know I was doing that until Holden and Justin pointed it out to me. Yes, Rose, I am that fucking blind and stupid."
Yes!

Lady Sylvia shrugged. "He's got some sort of rank. They have to have a shrunken head to fit into those tunics, you know. It goes with the uniform."
Loved the Lady Sylvia 😂

Eloise sobbed again. “You don’t understand…. She’s all I’ve got!”
George stilled, (…) Then he pulled her slim body into his arms, tucking her head against his chest.
“You’ve got me, Eloise.”
When his wife, still weeping, simply shook her head, he said it again.
“You have me, Eloise. You always had me.”
Big fat liar! (Not H, h’s father) 🤦🏻‍♀️

Had there been some other man with the good sense to corner her over the last ten years? If so, he wanted to kill him and shake his hand at the same time.
He deserves total skileting sessions 🤦🏻‍♀️

I have no friends here and my husband is never home, so, yeah, Ben, the kids and the bills and the chores are all I have to talk about because they are all. I. have. And what kind of immature, disrespectful man tells his wife he’s leaving her and he met someone else for attention?
🤦🏻‍♀️

Eve bit her lip. 'Have you ever done something that was really wrong? Something you regret, but that you can't ever make right again?'

'Yes,' he said, serious now. 'Most people do, Eve. It's called life.'

There was no logic why h didn’t tell him she was his wife. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Wished anew that she would accompany him to Wales and live by his side. But seeing her with the children, seeing how beloved she was by the Pellinghams, all of their neighbors, had reminded him that her roots in Bristol were deep.
(…)
When he departed for Wales, he would long for her sunny smiles and easy laugh.
So, don’t go idiot! 🤦🏻‍♀️(grandma’s talking)

“I will not forget this, love. You will always be my first wife. My Joanie.”
He said that while they were making love. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Did he fear that she was stupid enough to weave some idiotic romantic fantasy around that one kiss? Did he think ,she didn’t have the intelligence to know the truth?
She didn’t have the intelligence. 🤦🏻‍♀️

She didn't want him to make love to her, and she did not want to gain her freedom from his revenge by hurting him, even though he had hurt her so many times.
Idiot! 🤦🏻‍♀️

She was wasting away her emotions on a man who did not deserve them, and if she had to be analysed she would most probably be told that she was crazy
Yes and yes!

If she refused to accompany him he was quite capable of taking her with him by force, and she didn't relish the thought of a humiliating scene.
Pure vintage. Lol

'Such a beautiful, fiery creature. You need someone to tame you, signorina, someone to school you like a fiery, thoroughbred filly. You need gentling into obedience.'

🤦🏻‍♀️😂

‘You wanted me,’ he told her flatly. ‘No,’ she corrected him acidly, ‘I wanted a man…any man, if you want me to be totally honest.’
Why a virgin wants to make the man whom she kissed a few moments ago believe this about her? 🤦🏻‍♀️

The dress had made no difference! If it had Pericles would have kissed her whether she had asked him or not. He wouldn’t have been able to help himself!
She was one of the dumbest hs of HPlandia!

You would find freedom.”
She couldn’t bear to hear any more. “Never with you!”
“Never with David!” he retorted. “Never with any man who wouldn’t demand everything you have to give, who wouldn’t make you wholly his - in every way!”
The very same day they met. Lol

The most idiotic nanny recruitment! 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

It might be wrong—it was very definitely stupid—but there was only one thing she cared about right then and that was being in Niccolò’s arms.
🤦🏻‍♀️

She might not have much money or prestige to her name, but at least she still had her pride.
That’s my girl!

“It was you who cast me aside. It was you who decided that your family name and honor were worth more than the undying love you are professing now. And you want me to sacrifice everything… my independence, my career, my freedom… everything… for you now? You, who wouldn’t sacrifice your precious reputation for me? Vaffanculo!”

'I want you!' he said vibrantly. 'I need you as the sun needs the sky.

I wish I started reading earlier!

'What an unfair thing to say!' Linda could hardly believe that he had said it. 'You—you're deliberately forcing me to stay here, aren't you?'
'Yes,' he said, imperturbably, and held towards her on the blade of the knife a section of the fruit. 'Take and taste.'
'I don't want it.'
'Don't be a child.'
There is nothing like vintage HPs. Lol

‘To hell! That’s where you’d like to send me, isn’t it?’ came the terse reply before he disappeared.
He should have been groveling. 🤦🏻‍♀️

He didn’t trust her, he refused to believe her story about going to the penthouse and he certainly did not love her, but right now Emily didn’t care. He overwhelmed her senses, trampled on her pride so that all that was left was desire, piercing her soul and making every nerve ending zing with expectation.
I hate when h had a tbs! 🤦🏻‍♀️
