Mavis thought about the future. If Nathaniel ever moved back to the study at the slightest disagreement or met someone who resembled Sheena, would he fall for her all over again?
The thought was unsettling.
Not only would Mavis suffer, but the baby would too.
The more she considered it, the more determined she became to pursue a divorce.
However, she struggled to explain this to Ella.
"Our situation is really complicated, and I can't explain it in a few words. Ella, if someone has hurt you deeply, would you forgive them?"
Ella was silent.
She had not been married or experienced a deeply passionate relationship.
Besides, the estate saw countless handsome visitors daily, and she could barely keep up with them.
At her age, she longed for a dramatic, all-consuming love, regardless of the consequences.
"If he truly cares about you and genuinely regrets his actions, and you still love him, then maybe forgiveness is the way to go. But I don't know the full story between you two. From where I stand as an outsider, my advice is secondary. What matters is your decision."
Ella thought for a moment before adding, "For your peace of mind, you might want to observe him a bit more. If he's genuinely sorry, it would be a shame to miss out on a good man like him."
Could Nathaniel really be considered a good man?
Aside from his handsome appearance, his temper was foul, his moods were unpredictable, and he was often overbearing and inconsiderate of her feelings.
When he was happy, he would pamper her, but when he was angry, he would subject her to various forms of emotional abuse.
In this marriage, Nathaniel was the active party, and Mavis was the passive one.
Facing Ella's well-meaning advice, Mavis could only say, "Thank you, Ella. I appreciate your concern and will think it over."
…
On the island, life depended on the surrounding waters.
Kristen woke up once more, and her first words were, "Who are you? Who am I? Where am I?"
The man who had saved her was stunned.

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
