It's something I deserve; it's something I want to have," she says. "Sometimes I question why I was married to you.

"Leave the child alone; your presence is only causing him harm. He is not old enough to understand what you’ve done," he says, raising his voice.Noah stretched out his hand directly toward Liam’s hand, snatching him away from Isabel."Leave at once before I act in a way you deserve," Noah says, so agitated that Liam, seeing him like this, breaks down in tears and retreats into the house."You are an evil man," Liam says as he walks away crying."You see what you provoke," Isabel says with a half-smile.

Emily stepped away from him, and Noah showed no emotion or different expression, which confused her.
