Rebirth After Being Betrayed by My Husband by Isabella Reed

Chapter 91

Morgan had been taken aback earlier when Lily reached out to suggest a family dinner. While he agreed to the

idea without much hesitation, an unsettling feeling lingered. Something about her recent befinder felt out of

place, leaving him uneasy.

The changes in Lily were undeniable. She was no longer the obedient and submissive person he had shaper her

to be. The difference between the Lily of the past and the one sitting across from him now was stark b was as

though she had becan entirely new person, unrecognizable from the pliable young once controlled so

effortlessly.

He couldn’t pinpoint when it all began to unravel, but he suspected it started about a month ago. For reasons

unknown to him, she began defying his instructions and making choices that didn’t align with h expectations.

The realization that his hold over her was slipping filled him with frustration and

Morgan was no fool; he knew such drastic changes didn’t happen without cause. For days, he obsessed oner

possible explanations, unable to shake the gnawing suspicion that she might have discovered something truth

that he had worked so hard to conceal

In his desperation, he had her movements and actions investigated, but the results yielded nothing conclusive.

Then cthe incident where Lily openly confronted Ryan about his relationship with Rose was then that

Morgan pieced together what could be the root of her transformation.

For years, Ryan had been his leverage, the one person Lily idolized and trusted without question. By using Ryan

as a pawn, he ensured she would remain compliant. That was why he had repeatedly warned Rose to tread

carefully and avoid exposing their secrets. However, his warnings often fell on deaf ears.

Rose’s growing arrogance and recklessness had begun to create cracks in their carefully constructed facade The

worsening tension between Rose and Lily was a direct result of Rose's inability to follow simple instructions, and

this friction threatened to derail his plans entirely.

Even earlier that day, Morgan had argued with his youngest daughter over the family dinner. When Lily

expressed her desire to reconcile with Rose, he had seen it as a golden opportunity to mend their strained

relationship. However, Rose had dismissed the idea, insisting she had more pressing commitments-a so- called

charity event that she refused to miss.

Her stubborn refusal had only further irritated Morgan. His once-beloved daughter, who could do no wrong in his

eyes, was now acting like a spoiled child, oblivious to the stakes at hand. He had hoped to use the dinner to

smooth things over between the two sisters, but Rose’s absence threw a wrench in those plans.

As Morgan mulled over these frustrations, a sense of dread began to creep in. He couldn't shake the feeling that

Lily was no longer the malleable pawn she once was-and that realization left him both wary and deeply

unsettled.

Morgan's frustration reached its peak earlier when Rose flatly refused to attend the family dinner. He had

ordered her to cancel her so-called charity event, but as always, she paid no attention to his words. She stormed

off, leaving him stewing in anger. Moments like these made him question whether he had gone too far in spoiling

her. Yet, every tthe thought crossed his mind, he quickly dismissed it-after all. Rose was his only daughter. If

he didn’t indulge her, who would?

His thoughts were interrupted when Taylor sighed audibly. “It’s just not the swithout Rose here,” Taylor

remarked, glancing at his parents.

Casey quickly stepped in, offering a warm smile. “Your sister had an important event to attend. If she could have,

she would've been here with us.”

“Exactly,” Morgan chimed in, seizing the opportunity to play the doting father. “What she’s doing is for a good

cause, and we should support her. We can always have another family dinner with everyone present

next time.”

Lily, sitting quietly across the table, let out a soft sigh, her expression tinged with disappointment. “I was really

hoping we could all be together, but | understand. Charity work is important, and we should be proud of Rose for

her efforts.

The mood seemed to shift as Morgan, eager to steer the conversation away from Rose's absence, turned his

attention to Lily. “So, Lily, how's your work going? Everything on track with the filming?”

“It's going well, she replied with a polite smile, her tone measured.

Soon, the food arrived, and the conversation took a more casual turn. Taylor, unable to hide his excitement,

eagerly dove into his meal. The atmosphere around the table lightened-at least temporarily.

However, Morgan wasn’t one to let an opportunity slip by. Between bites, he directed the conversation toward a

topic he had been waiting to address. “Lily,” he began, feigning casual curiosity, “how are things between you

and Ryan? He mentioned you've been distant lately, even talking about breaking up. Is that true?”

Lily put her chopsticks down, her expression calm but resolute. “Yes, Father, it’s true. | want to end things with

him, but he’s refusing to let go.”

Casey perked up at her words, her mind racing. If Lily truly intended to leave Ryan, it could mean Rose's

constant distress would finally end. Before she could speak, Morgan jumped in.

“But why, Lily?” he asked, a hint of alarm creeping into his voice despite his effort to appear composed. “You've

been together for over a year. Surely you're not letting doubts cbetween you two? Ryan is a wonderful

young man-honest, hardworking. You won't find someone like him again.”

“I don’t feel the sabout him anymore, Lily said bluntly. “He betrayed my trust. | can’t stay in a relationship

with someone like that.”

Morgan stiffened. “You say he cheated on you, but do you have proof? Have you caught him with someone

else?”

“No, | don’t have proof. Lily admitted, her tone unyielding. “But | know what | feel, and | know what's right.

for me.”

“Relationships aren't perfect, Lily,” he pressed, his voice rising slightly before he caught himself and softened his

tone. There will always be misunderstanding, and conflicts. But you can’t just throw away something meaningful

because of a suspicion. Talk to him, work things out. Ryan loves you, and you're lucky to have someone like

him.”

Casey couldn't stay silent any longer. “Morgan,” she interjected, her voice firm, “you can’t force two people to

stay together if the feelings aren't mutual. If Lily feels she doesn’t love him anymore, then we should respect her

decision.”

Morgan shot his wife a sharp look, though his expression remained outwardly composed. Beneath the table, his

hand gripped hers tightly, a silent warning not to interfere further. Forcing a smile, he said, “Dear, 1 understand

your concern, but this is just a misunderstanding between them. Once they talk it thro everything will be fine.”

Turning back to Lily, he softened his tone, attempting to regain control of the conversation. “Lily, | want you to

promiseyou'll talk to him. If he really has wronged you, I'll personally ensure he faces the

Lily gave him a tight smile, her gaze steady. “Alright, Father. Ill think about it.

Her eyes drifted to the large window beside her, and a smirk played on her lips as she gazed outside. Internally,

she scoffed at his hollow promise. Let's see how you handle it, Father, when the truth comes to light.
