This was karma, Clara thought, putting a hand to her chest. What Wilson did to her was the same as what she had done to him before. What she did to him at the hospital was cruel and heartless, and he did the same to her this time. She wondered if he shared the same pain the other day, and the idea of that made her chest feel tight. -"What? Clara went to Latveria alone?!"Serenity went to visit Clara at her store in Solaria and learned from Mrs. Wells that Clara had gone alone to Latveria."Yes. She wants to meet Wilson and talk about Queenie's case," Mrs. Wells explained."But Clara is heavily pregnant! And she's all alone…""Wilson arranged for his assistant to help Clara, so Frank helped her with food and accommodation arrangements," Mrs. Wells told Serenity about what she had learned from the conversation on the phone with Clara yesterday.Serenity was relieved to hear that, but she called Clara on the way home anyway."Clara! Why didn't you tell me about your visit to L
Clara looked at the time and waited. She knew Wilson had gotten over her and was cold and unfeeling toward her, but she still had to try. There was nothing else Clara could do. She could only beg for Wilson's help. Clara waited until the iron gates were finally open. When she saw a black sedan slowly drive out, she hurried over and shouted at Wilson through the backseat window. "Wilson, please listen to me. I know you don't want to see me, but I need your help." The man in the driver seat inquired, "Mr. Birch, do you want to stop the car?""No. Drive to the office," Wilson said coldly, catching a glimpse of Clara's face outside the window. Clara stood near the car and anxiously banged on the window. Despite that, Wilson quickly withdrew his gaze and looked away. He no longer had any feelings for her and remained indifferent.Clara watched the car drive away with a blank stare on her face. Bitter disappointment shadowed her eyes as she realized Wilson would not stop for her. R
Frank sighed at Clara’s stubbornness. “Please wait for a moment then. I’ll let Mr. Birch know that you want to see him.” “Thank you.”Frank entered Wilson’s office while the other secretaries looked at Clara curiously. They all knew about Clara’s identity as Wilson’s wife, but they hadn’t made it official to the public yet. Clara was pregnant, and rumor had it that Wilson stayed in Solaria for her. Clara should be very important to Wilson, and he had even arranged for Frank to serve her. However, it was difficult for Clara to meet Wilson now. Various speculations arose in everyone’s heart. Meanwhile, in Wilson’s office, Frank told Wilson that Clara was waiting for him outside. “Since she wants to wait for me, let her wait,” Wilson said nonchalantly. “Alright,” Frank answered and left the office and went to Clara. “Sorry, Mr. Birch doesn’t want to see you,” he told her. “That’s fine. I’ll wait here then.” Clara found a place to sit quietly without disturbing the oth
“No, I’m fine. The baby kicked me.” It was the first time for Clara to clearly feel the fetal movement. What she felt previously were only faint kicks. “The baby kicked you?” Wilson hadn’t expected that. Looking at Wilson’s surprised expression, Clara grabbed his hand and put it on her belly instantly. “See, the baby is moving again.” Wilson was stunned when he felt the baby kick him rhythmically. It was a new and strange feeling for him. He was in awe, and that feeling reminded him that it was his baby in Clara’s belly now. Some images flashed across his mind, and his eyes darkened. Clara snapped back to her senses when the fetal movements stopped. She realized that she had grabbed Wilson's hand and made him touch her belly. She felt embarrassed as the movements had stopped, but his hands were still pressed against her belly. She blushed, and the spot where Wilson had touched was warm. “Thanks!” Clara flusteredly stepped back and took the thermos before stuffing it
“I’m sorry. I didn’t know what else I could do to get you to talk to me,” Clara said. “I used to love you very much, right?” Wilson asked calmly. Clara was puzzled by his question. “But, I don’t feel a thing for you now no matter how much I loved you in the past. I don’t have any sympathy or love for you now. I won’t budge even if you go to the office every day to make me agree to your request. Your actions disgust me instead of making me feel sorry for you,” Wilson said while looking at Clara. His eyes were not displaying any emotions, almost as if he truly didn’t love her anymore. “I knew that I said a lot of things that hurt you in the hospital, which made you hate me. Wilson, please continue to hate me or punish me if you want. I’ll accept everything that you want to do to me. But, it’s two different things for now. I can do whatever you want as long as you spare Queenie!” Clara begged. “You’ll do whatever I want?” Wilson raised his eyebrows. “What if I want you to stay
“You’re clear about Jackson's amnesia when Serenity fell off the cliff, right? He didn’t really have amnesia, but part of his memories were locked. The hypnotist changed Jackson's feelings about Serenity. His love for her was downplayed, and what happened between them was just like a movie to him. He couldn’t resonate when he thought about the moments that they had shared.” Clara felt a pang in her chest as Wilson spoke. She felt uneasy, and she was afraid of what he was going to say next.“You’ve guessed it, haven't you?” Wilson asked. “I met up with the hypnotist and tried to make him downplay my feelings for you. I don’t have any feelings for you now. You’re just somebody that I used to know.” Clara’s heart broke when she heard that. “Somebody… that you used to know?” She murmured while getting teary.“Yeah. I remember everything that happened between us, but I don’t feel anything at all.” Wilson wiped the tears in the corners of Clara’s eyes and continued, “You had said tha
“Enough, Clara. I don’t feel anything even if you kiss me like this now,” Wilson said and walked away coldly. Clara felt bitter. She was the one who had always said the word “enough” to him, but he was the one saying it now. Clara was upset that the feelings between them could be erased easily. Even if Wilson remembered everything, he wouldn’t feel a thing for her anymore. Her love for him wasn’t deep enough when he loved her the most, but his feelings were gone the moment her feelings for him began to grow deeper. -“What?” Serenity stared at Jackson with disbelief. “Wilson went to the hypnotist who hypnotized you?!” “Yeah.” Jackson nodded.“Why?” “If I’m correct, he probably wanted to stop his feelings for Clara. After all, it was too painful for him to be rejected by Clara like that,” Jackson said.“But he should be able to bear the pain as he had been rejected by her before,” Serenity muttered. “It’s a different case now. He should have been okay if Clara had alw
“Clare is in Latveria now, and Wilson…” Serenity got worried. “I have to tell Clare about this. It’s probably useless for her to beg Wilson.” Serenity quickly called Clara and informed her about what had happened to Wilson. Clara said calmly, “I already know about it.” “What? Do you already know about it? Wilson…” “He no longer has any feelings for me. I’m just somebody that he used to know. He said that our past was like a movie for him, and the movie has ended now.” Serenity hesitated momentarily and said, “Clare, why don’t you come back to Solaria first and we’ll figure out something else. I’m afraid that you won’t have the slightest bit of progress if you continue to stay there.” “I should stay for a few more days. Maybe things will still turn around. I can’t do anything even if I’m back at Solaria,” Clara said. “Well then, take care of yourself. Come back as soon as possible. I can also come over to your side if you need me.” “I’m fine on my own right now. I will c
