Surviving Divorce Her Miraculous Second Chance - Season 2 Episode 23

I met him head–on without hesitation, responding to him. The feeling of being loved, needed, and caressed drove me a bit mad, as if I had been repressed for too long.

His words, ‘I’ll deal with you right here, I won’t let you make excuses anymore,‘ were all that filled my mind. At that moment, I just wanted to break free from this restraint and confusion, to let myself go for once, to follow my heart, and to stop making excuses to evade.
