Chapter 13 - ETHAN DID NOT MARRY MADELINE LATERPeople expected it.
Scandal passes.
Truth comes out.
Love survives.
No.
Ethan still loved parts of her.
That did not mean he trusted her enough for marriage.
Madeline once asked:
“If I had told you on our third date, would you have left?”
Ethan thought.
“No.”
She cried.
That was the tragedy.
Her fear created the outcome she feared.
Then she asked:
“What if I told you about Daniel’s claim?”
“I would have recused myself and sent it to counsel.”
“And my father?”
“I would have told you to get independent advice.”
She laughed bitterly.
“So all of this…”
“Was unnecessary.”
That hurt.
But it was true.
No grand conspiracy was required.
The children already had legal rights.
Truth would have been slower.
