Please Give Me Another Chance, Mrs. Hamilton novel Chapter 869

"But do you know what real courage is like, Nad? It's not about holding grudges or being unforgiving. It's about looking past each other's flaws and still choosing to love.

"Love isn't about finding someone perfect or breaking up when things get hard, and it's definitely not about switching partners when you get bored. Love is about being brave and kind, staying loyal well after the excitement fades.

"When you've lived a little longer, you'll realize that changing yourself is easier than changing someone else. You have to let people be themselves and give yourself the freedom to be yourself.

"The flaws you see in Brad might not exist in someone else, but that other person will have flaws that Brad doesn't have. If you can accept Brad's imperfections, stay with him.

"Changing partners will not make things better. You'll still have to spend time and energy getting to know someone new, and that's only going to raise the cost of starting over."

Having been through it himself, Daniel could offer her hard-won lessons from his own experiences.

When Brad's mother passed, Daniel was devastated for a long time. When Adam arranged for him to marry Evelyn, he'd thought maybe she could fill the void and give him a sense of home again.
