Was she upset and felt forced to accept this due to fear of rejecting him? "If you're not willing, just tell me. Don't force yourself. I won't cause you trouble, too. I'm not a man who would be petty toward women," he said.
Sydney shook her head. "I'm not unwilling. It's just that I'm in huge trouble right now. If I were to be with you, it might affect you negatively." "What trouble?" He could tell at one glance that she was troubled, but he didn't want to pursue matters if she wasn't willing to tell him about it. "Mr. Jackson, I can tell you about it. If you think it's not worth the trouble, just sendhand we won't meet each other ever again. But if you still want me, I'll divorce my husband and I'll be with you from now on. You can have any sort of relationship you want with me, and I won't tell anyone about it," she said.

"He did that to you?" He turned around, his brows furrowing and his face turning cold.

I didn't want things to get so bad because of me, so I had no choice but to submit to him. I really want to be rid of him, but I don't know what to do."
