34. I Can End It If You Want It To Be Over

Ivy's p.o.v

Accidentally or purposefully, I eavesdrop on Laurie's conversation with Jo's sister Amy. "I am not happy in my marriage. I should've never fallen in love with my son's nanny" Laurie confides in Amy. Laurie's statement breaks my heart so much that I abruptly leave the party in tears. Laurie chases me all the way home. Mrs. March looks after Mason in our absence. She understands that we have marital issues. "You told Amy that you were not happy in our marriage. You told her that you regretted falling in love with me. I can end it if you want it to be over" I confront Laurie in our bedroom.
