Gritting her teeth, Clara followed Wilson into the suite and closed the door.Wilson walked to the couch and sat down. Then, he picked up a cup of tea on the coffee table and sipped it. "What do you want to talk about? You can't be asking me to give up custody, or are you?"Clara's eyes flickered. "And what if I am? Can you give up? I'll do anything if you'll give up Yanny's custody!""You'll do anything?" Wilson asked, gazing up at Clara."Yes!" Clara responded."What else do you think I need from you now?" Wilson said, amused. "Would I want you to give birth to another child for Sandra's sake? But I have Yanny now. What else can you do? You're just a small business owner running a food stall. What can you do?"Clara's face paled. She had nothing to offer! She had no chips on the table, nothing to trade with him!After a short silence, Clara said, "Don't you… hate me? You hated my father for hurting your family. He almost destroyed your family, so you deliberately approached me
Wilson's words left a bitter taste in Clara's mouth. She had already given up loving him and had no feelings for him. Even so, she could not help feeling bitter at his remark. "What if… I'm telling you, I didn't push Sandra down the stairs. Sandra was the one who set me up! W-Would you believe me?" Clara said in an almost pleading tone. She begged Wilson to believe her and not treat her like a criminal. Clara did not care about her status as an ex-convict. The time she had spent in prison could not be reversed, after all! However, she did not want to bring any harm to Yanny because she was seen as a criminal! "Believe you? You want me to believe you?!" Wilson thought he had heard a joke. "Clara, don't you think it's ridiculous for you to say this now? Because of you, Sandra lost her child and became infertile. Who are you to raise my son?!""I didn't do it!" Clara said, looking at Wilson straight in his eyes. "You were deceived! When what you see and hear don’t match, trust your
Wilson had said that her gorgeous eyes were the window to her soul. Her smile brought joy, and she had the most loving eyes he had ever seen. Whenever she smiled, it would make people feel happy. Whenever they were intimate, he loved caressing her eyes with his fingers. She was once proud of her eyes because he loved them, but that had now changed. Wilson wanted Clara to destroy her eyes with her own hands this time. How ironic!Clara opened her eyes again and looked up at Wilson. They were standing so close right now, just like they did a long time ago. However, he would never hold her waist again like before, and she would not affectionately wrap her hands around his neck again.Clara stood back and quietly stared at the man in front of her, the man whom she had loved and hated with all her heart. Wilson was truly good-looking and attractive, which explained how she had fallen for him in a heartbeat.Maybe this would be her last time seeing him with her eyes.Clara suddenly fel
"Wilson." Clara glanced up at Wilson, her gaze intent. "Must you take Yanny from me?"Clara's gaze caught Wilson, somehow putting him in distress! But why would he feel distressed?! It was only right for him to take back the custody of his son!"Yes, Clara. I won't let you have Yanny. He'll have a hard life with you. What can you give him? Do you think your small business would work? Are you going to raise him with only the bare necessities?" Wilson said ruthlessly.Clara nodded, her reaction unusually strange and calm. "Okay. I understand." She retreated a step back after saying that, glancing down at her hands, which were still in his grip. "Mr. Birch, will you let go? I'm not going to jab my eyes again. After all, making myself blind won't be of any use, won't it?"Wilson grimaced and finally let go of Clara's hand. Only then did he realize that his palms were covered in cold sweat.This woman was driving him crazy. He was breaking out in cold sweat again, just like the time
What was Clara saying? Was she trying to trade her body for Yanny's custody? When did she become okay with this kind of thing?! Wilson laughed in anger. "Well, if you strip naked right now, I'll consider it," he said this, just to humiliate her."Okay," Clara agreed, her voice surprisingly calm, and she began stripping off her clothes."Do you even realize what you're doing?!" Wilson snapped, looking at Clara in disbelief. "I know," Clara answered softly. She knew Wilson must have said casually that. Clara could do what he wanted, but he would still fight for Yanny's custody. However, she had no other choice. It was a gamble, but she would go ahead with it. She had run out of options, and she had nothing to lose.Wilson's eyes widened in disbelief. He grabbed Clara again, pushing her out of the door this time. "Get lost! Get out of my sight! Your body would only make me sick!" As his voice fell, the door slammed shut.Clara looked at the closed door with a bitter smile. She
"That's great," Lisa said in relief, taking out the toys she had bought today to entertain the little one."Thank you, Aunt Lisa," Yanny said and seemed to like the toys a lot.While Yanny was playing with the toys, Lisa's phone rang. Lisa's car was parked in the parking lot of Solaria General Hospital, and the security guard had called, "Hello. Are you the owner of XXX car? The car alarm keeps going off and won't stop. Please come over to the parking lot and take care of it.""Ah! Okay! I'll be there!" Lisa answered. After disconnecting the call, she told Serenity, "Serenity, I need to go down. My car alarm seems to be malfunctioning.""Okay," Serenity replied. A nurse came over after Lisa had left the ward and told Clara to meet the doctor, leaving Serenity and Yanny in the room.As soon as Clara left the ward, Yanny suddenly lowered his head and stopped playing with the new toy in his hand."Why did you stop?" Serenity asked."Aunt Serene, am I a bad boy?" Yanny asked in a mu
Later, Clara returned to Yanny's ward. Serenity and Lisa chatted with Clara for a little while before leaving. After leaving the ward, Lisa commented with heavy sighs, "I didn't think Yanny would get into a fight." Lisa often thought of the little boy as the shy and quiet type. The little boy would often blush and look shy with a little teasing. "Even a good kid will bite when backed into a corner. Besides, Yanny fought for his mommy. He may look like a good boy, but he's not a coward in a real fight," Serenity said, thinking about the kid.Yanny had always been a strong and hard-working child. Although deaf since birth, his disability made him a more tolerant person with high endurance. Yanny had learned to speak fluently within a short time after he had gotten his hearing aids. Serenity knew Yanny worked hard and learned faster than kids his age, not just because he was intelligent. Quiet people would rarely express their frustrations openly, keeping their anger bottled up on
#Lisa started telling Serenity about all the gossip she had gathered about Lucas. Serenity listened, but some of it really surprised her.Lisa told Serenity about a popular actress who requested a kiss from Lucas. They were on a show, and she wanted Lucas to fulfill her wish by kissing her on the cheek, but Lucas simply rejected her by saying, "You're not the one I want."Word had it that Lucas was also good at painting. He had a studio full of his work but had never released them to the public.There was another gossip about how Lucas never allowed others to call him by his nickname, Luke. This name was like a taboo for him. There was an actress who wanted to use Lucas to climb up in her career, so she called him Luke, pretending to be intimate with him. Instead, she had gotten banned from the entertainment industry.Serenity listened to Lisa's gossip, and before she knew it, they had arrived at her neighborhood.Lisa steered the car along the driveway and stepped on the brakes,
