“Before we got married, I already loved someone else. I will never develop any feelings for you no matter what you do.

There is no love so don't act as if I have been betraying you.” “But still, you cannot do this,” she insisted as she tried to hold back her tears. “I cannot believe that you are reacting like a jealous wife!

“I can’t believe you, dad!” Dane exclaimed. He just got home from the company when his father started talking.“What is your problem with that?” Darren asked his son while his eyebrows were knitted together. He couldn’t believe the kind of reaction he got from his son. “It sounded like you are a loser here. I just want to remind you that Gertrude Jimenez is not an ordinary girl.
