Before coming back, he had always felt that the words Abigail Hemsworth said in the car were unfounded and unreasonable.

He told her not to be too greedy, not to be too pretentious.
He said she was sentencing him to death without reason, causing a scene.

What else did he say?
He said he needed to consider whether he really liked Salma, that perhaps he really could try with Salma...

A sudden wave of bitterness surged in his throat. He allowed Zachary Hemsworth to grip his collar tightly, his hands hanging by his sides clenching into fists, the knuckles turning white.
She had given him so many chances, even waiting for him to deceive her.
