Chapter 2337

Author: Anastasia Marie
Those rare moments of warmth that they shared, she cherished them deeply.

Finally, he ended the kiss and traced his fingertips across her moist lips. "That's how you're supposed to do it. Understand?" he asked.

She snapped back to reality, her gaze cloudy.

Her chest seemed to be stirred by something.

Clara stepped back, breathing heavily. "You..."

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to continue? Or is that the extent of your determination to find your friend?" he asked.

Clara bit her lip. She's afraid, and she didn't know why.

What was she afraid of? Even if they ended up in bed, it wouldn't be their first time. Besides, she still loved him! Even though he no longer loved her, even though he had forgotten their love, she still remembered!

But she didn't want to... She didn't want to do it with him under such circumstances. She didn't want to do it with him when he didn't truly love her.

Clara clenched her fists tightly, forcing herself to bow down to reality.

Wilson frowned. Her

    In that fleeting moment, he actually believed that she's in love with him! How could he have such a delusion?! Wilson shook his head. That's absolutely impossible! If she really did love him, she wouldn't have rejected him without any hesitation despite everything he did to try to win her back..."Clara, you're just a woman I once loved," he said, as if he was reminding himself of that!That night, Clara received a call from Peter. "Um... I'm sorry if I caused any misunderstanding between you and Mr. Birch," Peter said."No, it's fine," Clara replied."Also, you forgot to take home the gift I bought for Yanny. I'm leaving the day after tomorrow. Should I come to your hotel and give it to you?" Peter suggested."You're leaving the day after tomorrow?" Clara asked."Yes, I'm almost done with my business here. I'll have a final meeting with my client tomorrow and wrap up the work," Peter explained."Well then... instead of that, can you just take the gift back to Solaria and giv

    "It’s lunchtime. Do you mind having lunch with me?" Madam Birch asked. Without waiting for Clara's response, she placed the order.Dishes were brought out one by one, each one exquisitely presented, but Clara had no appetite."Madam Birch, the lunch doesn't matter. If you want to tell me anything, please get straight to the point. I don't like beating around the bush," Clara said.Madam Birch chuckled. "Well said, Miss Wells. You don't like beating around the bush, and neither do I. But, well, you've led me around in circles, haven't you? Back at the hospital, I thought we had an agreement. I even admired your decisiveness and felt bad for you. I never expected you to go back on your word!"Clara looked her right in the eye and said, "Rest assured, Madam Birch, I didn't come to Latveria to reconcile with Wilson. I just need his help with something. As soon as he agrees, I'll return to Solaria immediately and stop bothering him."Madam Birch scrutinized Clara suspiciously. "You nee

    "But I want you to promise me that, from now on, unless it's for something related to the children, don't show yourself before Wilson again! Stop bothering him!" Madam Birch said.Clara was about to reply when the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open. The person who came in was not a waiter, but Wilson."Shouldn't I have a say in this? After all, this agreement concerns me." Wilson walked into the private room and casually pulled out a chair to sit down.Madam Birch was visibly surprised to see her son, "Wilson, what are you doing here?""Why can't I be here? If I hadn't come, would you have made a deal behind my back?" Wilson asked.His gaze then fell on Clara, "What conditions did you and my mother agree on? Let me guess. My mother wants you to promise never to appear before me again, and she'll help Queenie Yale get probation, is that right?"Even though he didn't hear the entire conversation, he could roughly guess based on the bits he heard when he walked in.C

    "Mom, I need to take care of something, and I'm taking her with me, so she won't be having lunch with you," Wilson said. He then left the private room with Clara.Alone in the private room, Madam Birch sat with anger in her eyes. Her son was outstanding in every aspect, and she hardly had to worry about him. However, when it came to relationships, her son was a complete mess. He's getting involved with Clara again. She feared that, one day, he might lose his life because of Clara."What a tragedy! What a tragedy!" Madam Birch sighed bitterly.Meanwhile, outside the clubhouse, Wilson brought Clara to his car without giving her a chance to speak. He swiftly placed her in the back seat and got in himself."Wilson! What are you doing? Where are you taking me?" Clara shouted."It's lunchtime, so we'll have lunch first," Wilson replied nonchalantly. He instructed the driver to start the car.As the car slowly left the clubhouse, Clara tried to free herself from Wilson's grasp by tw

    And now? He's peeling shrimp for her again, but why? He shouldn't have any feelings for her anymore. She's the one who needed something from him. What would he gain from peeling shrimp for her?When he finished peeling the shrimp and placed it into her bowl, she stared at the shrimp absentmindedly, lost in thought."Aren't you going to eat it?" she heard him ask.She pursed her lips and took a deep breath. "Wilson, are you taking revenge on me?" she asked.His eyes narrowed, glaring at her. "Because I cruelly chose to split up with you and mercilessly trampled upon your pride, you want to take revenge on me, right?" she looked up at him and asked."You think I want to take revenge on you?""You no longer love me, yet you're peeling shrimp for me," she forced a bitter smile. "Your tenderness makes me wonder if you want me to fall in love with you so that I can taste the pain of unrequited love too."His face turned icy. "What?""If you want revenge, that’s fine. But I hope you

    The next day, when Peter called Clara, she told him, "Peter, um... you don't have to take the pastries back to Solaria for me. I'm going back to Solaria too.""You're going back too? When?" Peter asked."In the next couple of days. I'll check the high-speed train schedules," Clara replied."Why don't you take the same train as me tomorrow then. You're pregnant, so it's safer to have someone take care of you during the trip. There are still seats available in the train carriage I booked. We can switch seats to sit together once we're on board," Peter suggested.Clara thought he made a good point, so she agreed. After all, she was carrying a child now, so it would be good to have someone she knew looking out for her.She asked Peter for his train details and carriage number, and then booked her ticket back to Solaria on her phone.After that, she called Frank. "Frank, I'm returning to Solaria tomorrow. Please cancel the hotel room for me."Frank was taken aback. "Tomorrow?""Yes,

    There's no need to worry...? He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Even though his feelings for her hadn't returned, his mind seemed to be constantly drawn to her. What kind of charm did Clara possess that she could still influence him even now?That night, when Clara emerged from the bathroom, she was startled to see Wilson standing by the bed in her room, staring at her half-packed luggage. "You... what are you doing here?""Frank said you're going back to Solaria. Is that true?" he asked, his gaze falling on the bathrobe she was wearing."Yes, it's true," she replied. His sudden appearance made her feel flabbergasted."You're leaving already? You're not gonna try to persuade me anymore?" he asked with a half-smile."I know you'll never agree," she said. "Since I'm just wasting my time here, I might as well go back and think of other ways.""How decisive of you! You come and go without any hesitation!" Wilson coldly scoffed.She replied flatly, "Mr. Birch, I have to pa

    Clara calmly replied, "I understand, Wilson. From now on, I won’t appear in front of you anymore, nor will I disrupt your peace. We will go our separate ways... for the rest of our lives. This time, I will definitely keep my word."With a cold expression on his face, he stared at her intensely, while his hands clenched into fists by his sides.When he heard what she said, his body turned stiff and his blood froze.Go their separate ways... for the rest of their lives!This woman always said the most hurtful things to him!"Very well! Don't forget what you said!" Wilson said, not even looking back as he left the hotel room.The anger that filled his chest was crushing him.He himself couldn't explain why he was so furious.She came looking for him and disturbed his hard-earned peace, and now she wanted to leave just like that?!When Wilson returned to the Birch mansion, his mother was home. As soon as Madam Birch saw her son, she said, "Wilson, I want to talk to you about somet

    “……” Morgan suddenly found himself unable to retort. She... wasn't wrong. “But when you play house, you can pretend to be parents with one person today and another person tomorrow. Real marriage is different; you can’t choose someone else.”Renee widened her eyes, listening intently.“The only person you can choose is me. Do you understand, Renee?” he continued.She nodded vigorously. “I understand!”“Do you really?” Morgan asked, a little skeptical. He was already fifteen, so he could grasp the concept of marriage, but she was only eight. Could she truly comprehend it?“So, in the future, I can only marry Morgan and be your bride, right? I can't be someone else's bride, right?” she asked. “I don’t want to marry other boys anyway. I like you the most, Morgan. Of course I’ll only be your bride!” she happily declared, her worries fading away.So she could be Morgan's bride when she grew up! That's great!After finishing another piece of snack, Renee thought of something. She put o

    Despite her unease, she couldn’t resist when she saw the sweet desserts. She indulged herself.However, as she ate, her eyes remained fixed on Morgan, clearly still waiting for him to clarify Lucy’s claims.“You want to know if you’re a child bride, right?” Morgan began.Renee nodded.“Do you know what a child bride is?” he asked.She blinked. She had a vague idea, but not enough for her to articulate it.“To put it simply, a child bride is a girl raised by a boy's family. The girl will marry the boy when she comes of age. In the old days, some families were too poor to raise their daughters, so they would sell their daughters to become child brides for richer families,” Morgan explained.Renee blinked. “But my parents aren’t poor, and I'm raised by them, not by other people. That means I’m not a child bride, right?”“Correct, you are not,” Morgan affirmed.She breathed a sigh of relief, and a bright smile spread across her face. “I knew it! My parents would never sell me!

    "Morgan!" Renee turned to Morgan, unease etched on her face."The Moon family, eh? I'll remember this," Morgan replied calmly, then lowered his head to meet Renee's anxious and confused face. "Let's go, Renee. I’ll tell you what you want to know later."He led her away holding her hand.Benson looked worried. "Miss Lucy, how could you say that?""It's the truth!" Lucy shook off her fear and spoke defiantly. "Daddy and Mommy said she’s a child bride. A child bride is a girl sold by her own parents!""But the White family is not like that. Those things only happened to daughters of poor families in the old days," Benson explained. "You really shouldn’t have said that, Miss Lucy. You shouldn’t do that again.""Why do I have to listen to you?" Lucy retorted, displeased.Benson was too ashamed to tell Lucy in front of others that the Moon family simply couldn’t afford to offend Morgan. Dealing with the White family was already a headache, and Morgan's background was even more formi

    Benson and Lucy were also dumbfounded. Benson started getting anxious. He felt like things were starting to unfold in ways that he did not expect."Mr. Grimes, I..." Benson stepped forward, intending to speak to Mr. Grimes.However, Mr. Grimes moved past Benson without so much as a glance at him. He went up to Morgan and said, "Master Morgan, I apologize for the oversight!"Everyone was stunned to hear that, including the security guards who had been called over. They were secretly relieved they hadn't forcibly removed anyone yet. If they had offended someone Mr. Grimes was showing so much respect to, it would have been really bad for them!Morgan regarded Mr. Grimes with an unreadable expression. He calmly recounted the situation to Mr. Grimes.After hearing about what happened, Mr. Grimes responded, "This set of stamps was not pre-ordered. If you like it, please take it. Feel free to take anything else in the exhibition that catches your eye."This declaration shocked every

    "Who are you?!" Benson exclaimed, astonished. The mysterious figure remained silent, simply looking at Morgan.Morgan calmly reiterated to Benson, "I said, wait for Mr. Grimes." He then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "I'm Morgan Wood. Please have Mr. Grimes from Lazy Cat Culture come to the Sleepy Cat Exhibition in Solaria. He should be in the area, right?"After ending the call, the person on the other end stared at the phone in disbelief.The Sleepy Cat Exhibition? What's going on?Benson, Lucy, and the staff stared at Morgan in shock, but the look in their eyes quickly turned to ridicule."Ah, a young man's naive bravado – how impudent!" Benson scoffed."Sir, please don't cause trouble," the staff member warned. "Or I'll have to call security."Morgan simply lowered his head to say to Renee, "Looks like we'll be here for a while. If you're bored, I can ask someone to walk around with you."Renee shook her head. "Morgan, what if this stamp set has really been p

    Benson's words were not only meant to exert pressure on the staff, but also to inform him that they were on the same side.As expected, when the staff heard what he said, there was an instant change in his expression. He turned to Morgan and Renee and said, "I'm sorry, but it turns out this stamp set has already been pre-ordered by this customer."Morgan saw through the so-called pre-order as nothing more than an act. "When I asked you to wrap it up earlier, I didn’t hear you mention it was pre-ordered.""We forgot to mention that. Our apologies," the staff replied.Lucy, wearing a smug expression, raised her chin at Renee, causing Renee to puff out her cheeks in frustration.Benson calmly observed Morgan and Renee. The White family's White Maple Group had numerous overlapping businesses with the Moon Group. They were often competing with each other. Originally, the White Maple Group’s business activities weren't concentrated in Solaria, so even though there was competition wi

    But before Morgan had even finished speaking, a girl's voice piped up, "I want this stamp set!"He turned to the voice and, upon seeing who it was, narrowed his eyes slightly. It was Lucy Moon, the girl Renee mentioned earlier. At the sight of Lucy, Renee immediately reacted like an angry little kitten. "Lucy Moon, why do you always try to take my stuff away?""Your stuff? How is this your stuff? You haven't paid yet!" Lucy shot back, her eyes fixed on Morgan.Morgan was well-known in their class, admired by many girls who claimed he was even more handsome than movie stars. If only Lucy had a big brother like that! She would be the envy of all the girls in class... no, all the girls in school!Unfortunately, her own big brother was not as good-looking.Last time, Lucy had tried to give Renee Sleepy Cat toys, asking for Morgan's email address in return. However, Renee accepted gifts from everyone but her, which infuriated Lucy."But if you want, I can give this stamp set to Re

    Unlike many wealthy kids, Renee was quite restrained with her spending. She had never spent recklessly and often saved leftover money. Of course, when she wanted something beyond her budget, she would act cute and ask her Daddy or Morgan to buy it for her.Lisa was the least susceptible to her charms, so Renee didn’t dare to bother her!When they arrived at the exhibition, Renee’s eyes sparkled with excitement. There were so many adorable Sleepy Cat merchandise! They're all so cute! She wanted a lot of them, but realizing her limited budget, she knew she needed a sponsor! The best one was right beside her: Morgan!"Morgan," she said, flashing him a super bright smile.Seeing her like this, Morgan immediately knew she wanted to ask him for something. "What is it? Do you want me to buy you Sleepy Cat merchandise?""You’re so smart, Morgan! No wonder so many girls in our class like you and asked me for your phone number!" Renee praised him.As soon as she mentioned it, Morgan'

    "Okay," Renee replied obediently, snuggling up to Morgan and acting cute. "Take me to the exhibition, Morgan! I know you’re the best. You’ll definitely take me, right?"Morgan pursed his lips. At 15, he was no longer a little boy. Although Renee was only 8, she was his destined wife.He had been protecting her since the day she was born. At first, he thought that he would only marry her because according to the family prophecy, she was the one most suitable for him. Over the years, however, he realized that his feelings for her ran deeper than he had initially thought.He found himself wanting to help her fulfill her wishes, and would clean up the mess when she caused trouble. Things had become different from what he had expected, but he welcomed them. He felt grateful that she was the one who was destined for him!With her by his side for the rest of his life, he would never feel lonely."Will you get into fights again?" Morgan asked."No more fighting, I promise!" Renee quickly
