Clara rushed to look for the medicine box while Wilson's hand was still bleeding, but when she came back with the first aid kit, she saw Wilson picking up the broken glass on the floor."Why are you picking that up?! Stop it!" Clara quickly stopped him."Sorry. I made a mess… Let me clean it up," Wilson said."Stop whatever you're doing! I'll do it later!" Clara hissed, taking the broken glass away from him. She grabbed his hand and checked the wound. Fortunately, no glass shards had gotten stuck in his skin, so it was relatively easy to treat.Clara hurriedly grabbed the first aid kit and began treating his wound with cotton and gauze. "If it hurts, just say so," she said. While Clara was treating the wound, Wilson stayed silent the whole time as if he felt no pain. When she was done treating the wound, she looked up only to meet his eyes.Clara reflexively tried to look away, but Wilson spoke first. "What if I hadn't tried to force you to abort the baby? Would things have been
The blood stain on her hand bothered her. Biting her lips, Clara quickly rinsed her hands with water.The blood on her hand disappeared under the running water, but the burning sensation she felt on her skin remained. Wilson's pale and weak appearance flashed in her mind, haunting her. Was he really just exhausted? Clara had never seen Wilson like this before. When she was bandaging his wounds, she felt that his hands were frighteningly cold.A strange and uneasy feeling rose in her gut, bothering her. Clara shook her head and told herself to stop thinking about Wilson and get him out of her mind. She and Wilson were from two different worlds. Although they were briefly together for a short period, they would always be from two different worlds and would never be together.-The next day, Mrs. Wells noticed that a glass was missing from the house. When she asked Clara, Clara answered awkwardly, "I accidentally broke it when I got up to drink water last night.""Oh. Did you hurt yo
Clara had learned a great lesson from almost falling for Wilson again. She told herself never to fall for him again, or the tragedy of the past would happen again. She warned herself not to repeat the same mistakes. Once fallen, she might be doomed forever!-The next day, Queenie drove to Clara's place around evening. "Clara, didn't we agree to have a meal together? There's a newly opened restaurant in town, and I heard the food is good. Shall we go over and give it a try?" Queenie suggested. "I even drove over to pick you up. You wouldn't mind, right?"Although slightly hesitant at first, Clara finally agreed with a small smile. "Sure. Let's have a meal together. Wait for me." After that, Clara informed her mom and son about the dinner plan and left the store with Queenie.Queenie brought Clara to an expensive restaurant. The restaurant was popular and trended online, and the key target market for this restaurant was said to be wealthy people.Clara looked around at the interi
Clara sat down calmly and let her guesses run in her mind."Everyone, meet my friend, Clara," Queenie introduced. "Clara, this is my man… Harvey Powell. Meet Mr. Wagner, Mr. MacNeil, and Mr. Brooks."Harvey said to Clara with a smile, "Queenie has been talking about you over the past few days, saying you've been her friend for years. We're lucky to meet today, so let's get to know each other! I heard you're pregnant, so I ordered a sweet dessert suitable for pregnant women. You might want to try it."Sure enough, a serving of sweet soup was placed in front of Clara's seat."Thanks," Clara responded."You're welcome." Harvey smiled with a clear intention to please. "Ms. Wells, are you pregnant? Congratulations!" Mr. Wagner began to speak. "Why don't you invite the father to join us for dinner? Let's make the dinner more lively. Maybe we can think of it as a celebration of your baby!" Clara's heart sank as soon as she realized their intention. These people were trying to get in
Clara was about to leave the place as she talked. However, Martin stopped Clara. “Why are you leaving? Wilson is not here yet.”A whiff of alcohol rushed to her nose. Harvey hurriedly pulled Martin away. “Mr. Brooks, you’re getting tipsy. Why are you making things difficult for a woman?” Then, he turned to Clara and smiled. “Why don’t you call Mr. Birch out to have a meal with us? We have no ill intentions. We just want to discuss business with him. You’ll get your share, and it’ll be a win-win situation for us. Don’t you think so, Ms. Wells? Harvey looked like he was speaking for Clara, but his main purpose was to ask her to call Wilson out. They were playing good cop, bad cop. “You guys have misunderstood my relationship with Wilson. You should go to Birch Group to look for him if it’s anything about business. You don’t have to use such methods to see him.” Just as Clara was about to leave again, Martin pulled her back. “Seems like you want to have it the hard way! Do
Clara kept quiet and ignored Martin. She didn’t want to talk to anyone in the room, but Martin thought that she was acquiescing to his words.As for Queenie, her eyes widened when she heard the word “convicted”. She knew that she had to be pregnant with a son if she wanted to get to the top. The fact that she had also been in jail was a big problem for her too. She was lucky that Harvey’s wife had only given birth to a daughter. Her chances of getting to the top would be greater If she could give birth to a boy and get Martin to befriend Wilson. Queenie pretended that she truly cared about Clara and whispered to her, “Clara, I just wanted to invite you to dinner. I didn’t know that it would turn out like this. However, Harvey’s friends are all from wealthy families. We could take this chance to make some money for a better future.”“Is that so?” Clara said with a straight face. She had never told Queenie about her relationship with Wilson, and the people in the room only knew t
Wilson looked at him coldly. A chill ran down Harvey’s spine. “We… happened to bump into Ms. Wells today, so we asked her to eat together with us. Knowing that she’s your friend, we thought of asking you to join us.” Queenie hurriedly chirped in, “I’m Clara’s friend, who had helped her a lot. I met her by chance and asked her out for a meal. We thought of inviting you to join the fun. Thank you for coming. Please have a seat.” Then, she pulled out a chair beside Clara for Wilson. However, Wilson ignored her and said, “Just now, who was the one who said that I wouldn’t stand up for Clara and that she had to drink even if she didn’t want to? I couldn’t hear it clearly from outside, so did I miss anything besides that?” Martin was embarrassed, and he got up with a smile. “It’s a misunderstanding. I just wanted to liven up the atmosphere. I was going to give Ms. Wells a toast.” “A toast?” Wilson sneered. “Clara is pregnant, and she can’t drink. As for me, the doctor has instruc
However, Queenie found her thoughts funny.If Wilson did care about Clara, he wouldn’t let her stay in the tiny store while she was pregnant. Moments later, Martin finally finished the bottle of liquor. Wilson looked at Clara and said, “I’ll take you back.” “Sure,” Clara answered. She knew that Wilson was helping her to establish her authority. At the same time, he was also hinting at the others to respect her and not play any tricks in the future. Clara looked at Martin’s wretched appearance without the slightest bit of sympathy. After all, she would have been at his mercy if she hadn’t called Wilson earlier. Wilson's words were also to serve as a warning to Queenie. Although Queenie had helped Clara in the past, Clara didn’t like being used. Clara was offended by Queenie’s actions today. Just as Clara and Wilson were about to leave, Martin, who was in a mess, rushed toward Clara in anger.From his point of view, it was Clara’s fault that he had lost face in front of o
