Clara subconsciously retreated until her back was against the wall.Wilson placed his hands against the wall on both sides of her body and trapped her. He leaned in, and Clara could feel his breath on her face. Once again, he asked, “Do you regret it?” Clara lowered her eyes and trembled. Her eyelashes fluttered, and she looked at him. “I made the best choice for you and me at that moment.”“The best choice?” Wilson mocked. “Who are you to choose for me? Did you ask me beforehand? You decided it based on your assumptions!” “I…” Clara didn’t know what to say.Wilson brushed her lips with his fingers. “You know what? If you said that you had regretted it just now, I might have agreed to your request to leave Queenie alone. Too bad, you’ve missed your chance.” Clara looked straight into his eyes. “Even if I did say I regretted it, you wouldn't have agreed to my request.” Wilson was no longer the same man who used to love her. He would never agree to her so easily just because
“I don’t love anyone for now. I just want to live a quiet life with my children,” Clara said softly. “You’d better do that. I don’t want my children to call other men ‘Daddy’.”Wilson stepped back after saying that and shoved Clara’s phone back into her hand. “Clara, instead of spending time with Peter, why don’t you think about how to get me to agree to your request? After all, you came here to beg me for it, didn’t you?” Clara glared at Wilson while biting her lip. Her body went limp after he left the room. She didn’t know Wilson’s purpose for suddenly barging into her room to talk to her. She wondered if he was jealous because he saw her and Peter together, so he came here to find fault with her. That could be it. However, he shouldn’t be jealous as he didn’t feel a thing for Clara anymore. Clara was confused as Wilson even encouraged her to beg him more at the end of their talk. Wilson’s mother, Lessie, greeted Wilson when he arrived at the Birch residence. “
Lessie sighed in relief after Wilson went upstairs. She felt weak when Wilson looked at her suspiciously. The driver soon texted Wilson about the place where Peter was staying. Then, Wilson made a call and instructed the person on the other end of the line, “I'll send you a message in a moment, help me check the purpose of him visiting Latveria and the places that he had been to. Send someone to follow him as well.” “Got it, Mr. Birch,” the other person replied respectfully. Wilson hung up the call, walked over to the secret door in his room, and pushed it open. The size of the secret room was about 10 square feet. There was a mannequin wearing a wedding gown in the middle of the room. It was a complete set including the veil, shoes, and other accessories. Wilson had customized the wedding gown according to Clara’s measurements. He had never shown it to Clara, and she didn’t know the existence of it. There were various photos of Clara hanging on the wall. Some of the
“Are you feeling sorry for Clara? I think that Wilson is more pathetic than her. Clara can still survive without him, but he can’t do that. He can’t live properly at all, and that was why he chose hypnosis.”“I think Clare is still in love with Wilson, and there might be some other reason for her to make that decision,” Serenity said. “But she chose to leave Wilson in the end, right?” Jackson’s comment left Serenity speechless.“It can only mean that her love for Wilson was not deep enough, and it was best for Wilson to forget about his love toward her.” Serenity knew that Jackson was right, but she couldn’t help but worry at the thought of Wilson treating Clara coldly. Even if Clara didn’t love him much, it was sad when a relationship was only remembered by one party. “Well, stop thinking about them.” Jackson wrapped his arm around Serenity. “They should figure out their relationship alone. It's no use for you to worry about it. You should pay more attention to me.” “I d
Peter and Clara went to buy a gift for Riley together.He was still a little worried about Clara. “Is it okay for you to go shopping with me?” “Of course. I can still walk. Don't a lot of pregnant women still work these days? Besides, I’m just getting a gift for Riley at the mall,” Clara said. “Let me know if you’re tired. We’ll find a place to rest.” “Sure.” They went to the mall and started picking out gifts.Peter didn’t know what to get for Riley except for some clothes and shoes. However, everything looked the same in his eyes, and he didn’t know what design Riley would like. Clara picked a yellow woolen skirt and paired it with a pair of white shoes. “How tall is Riley now?” Clara asked. “What?” Peter scratched his head in embarrassment as he wasn’t sure about it.Looking at his puzzled expression, Clara could guess that he had no idea about Riley’s height. “She was about 3 feet 2 the last time I saw her. I think I’d better buy a bigger size since children grow
Their laughter filled the air as they engaged in pleasant conversation, creating a delightful atmosphere.Anyone who saw them would probably think they were a married couple. The video angered Wilson. Their laughter and smiles stung his eyes. He tightly gripped his phone, almost crushing it. "Clara..." he murmured her name. Did she really have no feelings for Peter? If she didn’t, then why did she smile at him like that?! It was... such a gentle smile!By the time Clara and Peter were done shopping, they realized that it was almost noon. They had lunch at a fast food restaurant on the ground floor of the mall. "Thank you for buying Yanny a gift," Clara said. Peter said, "It’s no big deal. You bought a gift for Riley too. I wonder if Yanny will like my gift." "I'm sure he'll love it," Clara assured him. After they finished lunch and were about to leave, Peter suddenly said, "Hey, your shoelace is untied." Clara looked down and saw that her left sneaker's shoelace
"If you two had gone beyond what ordinary friends would do, do you think I would still be standing here, talking to you nicely?" Wilson said coldly.Clara was taken aback.Wilson grabbed Clara's arm to drag her away, but Peter suddenly said, "Wait, Clara's shoelace is undone!"Wilson looked down at Clara's untied shoelace and crouched down to tie it up for her.She gasped, stunned that he would still do something like this for her. While Wilson was tying the shoelace, he felt a sense of deja vu. That's right, he had helped her tie her shoelace like this before. Even if he had forgotten his love for her, it didn't mean he had forgotten that. With what kind of emotion had he tied her shoelace for her back then? Did he do it willingly, like he's doing now?That's right, willingly!He had originally come here fuming after he saw her laughing and talking with Peter Wall.This woman had always treated him coldly, yet she smiled at Peter Wall so brightly. What's so good about
"If you're more than just friends, then Peter Wall's done for," Wilson said expressionlessly without a hint of anger on his face.But Clara felt her blood freeze. He... wasn't joking, he was dead serious!If she became more than just friends with Peter, he might actually do something to Peter."Nothing will happen between me and him," she said after a short pause, then squirmed, "Can you let me go now? This position is uncomfortable."He stared at her for a moment, then released his grip.She adjusted her posture and said, "I want to go back to the hotel."Wilson instructed the driver, "To the hotel."The car headed towards the hotel. Throughout the ride, Clara couldn't help but feel unsettled. It seemed like Wilson's gaze was always on her, trying to see through her.It wasn’t that long ago that she desperately wanted to see him, but now that he was sitting next to her, she didn't know what to say.Perhaps, deep down, she already understood that no matter how hard she pleaded
