She didn't really..

? She didn't really love him, but she kept up the masquerade for the children's sake.

If I write the sentence above like this, will it sound natural?




? She didn't really love him, but she pretended it for the children's sake.

Hasibrahman She didn't really love him, but she pretended to it for the children's sake. In these cases, you say 'pretended to' and it's a short form for something you said earlier. In this sentence 'pretended to' means 'pretended to love him'.
