“Your hand…” Clara looked at Wilson’s right hand. His bandaged hand had been clean before he entered the private room, but now, it was seeping with blood. Wilson followed her gaze and looked down at his hand. “It’s fine. I think the wound reopened,” he said nonchalantly, almost as if it was merely a small matter. Clara thought of the punch that Wilson had thrown at Martin, which made Martin fall to the ground. Wilson’s wound must have opened at that moment. The blood stain on his bandage was getting darker and expanding, meaning that the opened gap of his wound had to be big. “Get in the car,” Clara ordered Wilson. “What?” Wilson was stunned. “Get in the car. Let’s go to the hospital first. Your wound needs a dressing.” Seeing that he was still frozen in place, Clara grabbed his wrist and led him to the car parked in front of them. Then, she instructed the driver, “We’re going to the hospital.” The driver hesitated and looked at Wilson, who didn’t say anything, and only
No matter what, the humiliation and beatings that Clara had suffered sent a chill down Wilson. It was hard for a man to take it, and he wondered how she had managed to get through it while being pregnant. “Sorry,” Wilson murmured with remorse in his eyes. Clara said with a straight face, “Don’t apologize anymore. There was no right or wrong for everything that happened between us. I hope that we can put an end to our grudges and have peace of mind in the future.” Wilson smiled bitterly. All Clara wanted was to live a peaceful life, and he owed her that. “Yeah, I’ll give you peace. I’ll return to Latveria after you give birth to our child. I will put someone else in charge of the subsidiary company in Solaria. You don’t have to worry that I’ll affect your daily life,” Wilson said. Clara looked at Wilson with bewilderment. She had been hoping that he would say that. Since he would leave Solaria after she gave birth, they might only see each other occasionally for their child. S
“I’ll get the same thing as her,” Wilson told the owner of the shop at the cashier. “Got it.” After they were seated, Clara looked at Wilson’s hand and said, “Pay more attention to your hand. Don’t make it worse.” “Yeah, alright,” Wilson nodded obediently like a child. Two bowls of pasta were served the next moment. Clara lowered her head as she ate. Wilson looked at her and thought of the time when they were having pasta together back then. “I’ll learn how to make this in the future, and I’ll cook it for you on your birthday!” Clara had said with a smile. “Are you sure that you can do it?” Wilson laughed. “Of course!” “I don’t want you to go through all the trouble. You can just order takeout.” “But you can feel my love when you eat my handmade pasta. I will prepare this on your birthday every year! You have to eat what I cook to be healthy so that our future child and I can rely on you forever!” Clara had trusted Wilson wholeheartedly back then. However, he ha
However, Wilson’s voice was calm, almost as if he was making a simple decision. For a moment, Clara could only stare blankly into his eyes. She couldn't avert her gaze even if she didn’t want to look at him anymore. It took a while for her to turn around and get into the car. The car slowly drove away after Clara closed the door. Wilson smiled bitterly as he looked at the car that gradually disappeared. He knew that it was best for him and Clara. Then, he called someone and instructed, “Get me the details of those people who dined in the same private room with Clara today.” The people who used Clara were going to suffer the consequences. -The following day, Queenie came to Clara’s store early in the morning and apologized repeatedly.“I’m sorry, Clara. I didn’t know that it would end up like that yesterday. Martin only disrespected you because he was drunk. Don’t mind him.” Clara looked at her and said bluntly, “You planned it for a long time, right? You brought me
“You’re saying that Wilson has nothing to do with you even when you’re pregnant with his child? It’s fine if you don’t want to help me, but how could you make such an excuse?!” Queenie exclaimed angrily. Just then, a car stopped in front of Clara’s store, and Serenity got down from it. Queenie frowned when she saw that someone was coming. “Forget it. I’ll come over to catch up with you next time.” She left in a hurry after saying that, and Serenity brushed past her. “Who’s that? Your friend?” Serenity asked Clara. “Not really. She’s my former cellmate, who was quite nice to me in jail. I met her by chance the other day, only to find out that she wanted to meet Wilson through me for business. Her main purpose wasn’t to catch up with me.”Serenity sighed. “People are complicated. Their true colors will show through the years.”“Yeah, I agree. People do change.”“Is she the one who helped you erase your tracks to prevent Wilson from locating you after you were released from p
“That’s right. He saved Renee’s and Lisa’s lives.” Serenity said and looked at Clara. “What about you? How's it going with Wilson? Are you going to divorce him when this child is born?” “Mhm.” Clara looked down at her belly. Serenity knew that Clara still couldn’t accept Wilson, so she stopped talking about this topic.Love couldn’t be forced, and Serenity would support any decision that Clara made.She would congratulate Clara with gifts if Clara got back together with Wilson, and she would help Clara raise her child if she wanted to stay single. “Keep this invitation. I’ll ask my driver to pick up you, Yanny, and your mother on the day of the banquet,” Serenity said before leaving. Clara looked at the invitation and gently caressed her belly. Renee and her child were only less than a year apart. However, Renee would be the princess of the White family while the child in her belly would grow up without a father. Clara planned to raise the child alone. The child would g
Mrs. Wells was extremely happy with her appearance. After all, women wished to look beautiful at any age. The triplets and Cynthia were also dressing up for the banquet. Jacqueline praised Yannick after he changed into his suit. “You look cool, Yanny!” Yannick smiled and returned the compliment. “You look pretty too, Jackie!” Jacqueline was wearing a purple tutu-style dress with a bow of the same color on her head. She looked like an elf. She smiled happily when she was praised for her beauty. Serenity had dressed her up so beautifully, and she was going to show Frederick her picture later. It was a pity that Frederick wasn’t here, otherwise, they could have visited Renee together. Jacqueline’s smile dropped when she thought of it. “We’ll be leaving in a while, guys.” Serenity began to arrange their transportation, and Jackson watched her with a smile on his face. The Valor Residence was no longer quiet like the old days. It was lively with Serenity and the kids. He w
“All thanks to Serenity, haha. Stop flattering me.” Clara laughed. After chatting for a while, she went to her table with Mrs. Wells. It was a buffet-style banquet, and the banquet hall had a casual atmosphere. “Mom, sit here. I’ll get you some food,” Clara told Mrs. Wells. “Alright.” Someone called out to Clara when she reached the buffet area. “Clara, you’re here too?” It was Queenie, and she was with Harvey. Queenie was surprised that Clara was there. It hadn’t been easy for Harvey to get an invitation, and Queenie had persuaded him to bring her here instead of his wife. Harvey wanted to make friends with the rich for business, while Queenie wanted to suck up to the socialites. They wanted to have more connections to upgrade their status. She didn’t expect that she would meet Clara here. She was even more surprised to see Clara wearing a haute couture dress that she had seen in the magazine. The dress was worth millions. Ordinary people like them couldn’t affor
