Soren added, “Yeah! Elsie, Jenna has wicked intentions! I admit it’s my fault that our child died. Likewise, I’ve always been bothered that Jenna rejected me in the past.
“That’s why I risked everything to save her. I wanted to prove I was different and get her to admire me.
“But I need you to calm down and consider this–wouldn’t I have known our home was on fire and rushed back to save you if you had explained things clearer on the phone?
“Of course, I’m not blaming you for how things turned out, Elsie. I know you were already choking on too much smoke at the time. I just want you to know that you and the baby have always been the most important people in my life. That has never changed!”
I scoffed, feeling utterly speechless. Look at him, using words like “I admit“, and “I know”, yet there was a “but“. He acted like
he had painfully learned his lesson, but in reality, he was still trying to push the blame off him.
That made me recall a quote I once read in a book, “There is simply no winning with a narcissist.”
