"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
The atmosphere in the black car was tense. In the front seat was Frank, who was looking anxious. Miss Wells... Miss Wells was actually with another man! And Mr. Birch saw them!Wilson tightly pursed his lips. He had come here to see her one last time before she left.Maybe it's to bid farewell to the feelings they once had, or maybe it's something else, but... he just wanted to see her one last time. When he decided to do this, he kept telling himself that it would be the last time, and after this, he would completely remove her from his heart!But he never expected to witness such a scene!She... she's actually with Peter Wall! They're going back to Solaria together!A wave of jealousy spread in Wilson's chest.Suddenly, Clara lost her balance, and she stumbled towards Peter.Peter quickly caught her, "Are you okay?""My legs suddenly went weak. Ever since I got pregnant, sometimes my legs would suddenly go weak," Clara explained."Could it be because of calcium deficienc
Clara's slap cut Wilson short."Stop, Wilson. If you really did love me once, then stop!" Her eyes were misty with tears, her voice choked with emotions.He was stunned, his throat felt as if it were being suffocated by a heavy weight. In the end, he didn't finish his sentence. Instead, he said, "If you don't want anything bad to happen to him, you better stay away from him!""Wilson, I already told you to leave Peter out of it!" Clara said, not wishing to involve the innocent.But Wilson misunderstood. He thought she was saying that because she really cared about Peter!"And what if I won’t? By the way, I remember when I found you, you're acting quite chummy with this guy. Were you already considering being with him back then? Well, he's divorced now. Is that your plan? Is that why you keep insisting on divorcing me after the baby is born? So that you can be with him?" Wilson questioned coldly."Mr. Birch, I think you've misunderstood. Clara and I..." Peter tried to explain, u
"But..." Peter hesitated, but Wilson's voice interrupted their conversation."Today, neither of you will be leaving without my permission!" Wilson yelled. He then instructed Frank, who was standing nearby, "Call the cops and tell them that my wife at the train station is with a stranger. Tell them to come here to handle this civil dispute.""Yes, Mr. Birch," Frank replied.Clara said anxiously, "Wilson, stop this. If you really hate me that much, then take it out on me. You can do whatever you want to me for revenge. Leave Peter alone. He's a good man, don't drag him into our affairs!""A good man?" Wilson walked up to Clara and pinched her chin. "Does that make me the bad guy? Is that why you wouldn't give me a chance no matter how desperately I begged you?!""I..." She wanted to speak, to explain, but suddenly, her brows furrowed and a low groan of pain escaped her mouth.Ouch!Her stomach... was hurting!Clara placed a hand on her abdomen. The intense fetal movements were ca
