She couldn't hold herself back any longer from slapping the asshole in front of her."Your slap is so sweet, Claire. Your slap alone can't make me hate you, in fact I love you even more."“You're a crazy person!”“I'm crazy about you. You should know that,” Tristan whispered, bringing himself closer and closer to make Claire's body stiffen as she leaned her back against the back of the bed.“Don't fuck with me!” Claire picked up the fruit knife on the nightstand and held it in front of Tristan's face.Instead of feeling threatened or frightened, Tristan smiled calmly.That made Claire gulp harshly. She didn't know what else to do to scare Tristan.“I won't mess with you if you don't try to run away from me. The only thing I want from
As soon as Claire stopped in front of him, Tristan looked at that beautiful face to his heart's content.“Where are we having dinner?” Claire asked without preamble.Her face showed a cold look. But her heart was gathering the courage to devise an escape idea."We'll eat at a restaurant not far from here. It's called ‘Royale Resto’. The atmosphere there is very romantic. It's perfect for us."Tristan's sweet words sounded irritating to Claire's ears.“Romantic?” Claire's face showed her dislike for the word. “I'm a married woman in case you forgot.”"I'm sorry, Claire. Alright, forget about it. Let's go!"Claire complied. Following Tristan's footsteps who walked in front of her.A moment later, Tristan's car arrived near the restaurant. They both got out and immediately took their seats.“What would you like to order?” Tristan asked as he opened the menu book.
Claire could feel Tristan's trembling fingers as he grasped her hands. The man's voice also looked panicked and frightened, as if he was afraid that Claire would really leave him.Claire felt strange about Tristan's behavior.***Hearing the sound of Alex's car, Alice rushed out of the house. She chuckled when she saw Alice getting out of the car with Valen.“Why did Alex have to find that damn kid?!” Alice snorted in annoyance. She folded her arms across her chest.“Mommy!” Valen opened his arms wide and ran towards Alice."Valen, honey! Where have you been? The driver was looking for you at school this afternoon." Alice welcomed the hug. Acting like a good mother.Alex walked over and stopped behind Valen's body. His eyes watched the interaction between his wife and son.“Someone locked her in the toilet on purpose,” Alex said. Making Alice look up at him.Her heart began to fret at Alex's words. Did that man know about Alice's interference in this matter?"How can you conclude that
Seeing her cell phone ringing and Tristan's name on the screen, Alice immediately picked up the call.“Hello, Mr. Tristan?”[Alice, what about your role in the Knight family? Alex and his children have no suspicions about you, right?" [Alice, how about your role in the Knight family?]"Nothing, sir. They all believe that I am Claire. It's just that the little girl is annoying."[I don't care about that little girl. She's your business. Don't complain to me!]Alice's face hardened at Tristan's fierce words.Yes, all Tristan cared about was the real Claire. Not Alice's complaints. Alice was not important to that man at all.“I'm sorry, Mr. Tristan.”[Alex] Keep doing your part well. Don't be careless! Don't do anything that will make Alex suspicious! If Alex gets suspicious of you, you'll know the consequences!]Hearing Tristan's threat, Alice's body stiffened.Alice knew Tristan really meant his threat."I understand. Take it easy, I'll be careful."[Oh yeah, I want to ask you a favor.
“Honey!” Alice, who now had Claire's face, now walked over to Alex who was sitting on the sofa in the living room.Alice deliberately wore a transparent white dress that made her underwear visible from the outside.Alice suddenly sat on Alex's thighs and wrapped her arms around Alex's neck.“Why baby? I thought you were sleeping with the kids.” Alex was surprised to see his wife more aggressive.Even Alex was surprised to see Claire who was usually shy and never started teasing him first, now suddenly wearing a transparent dress and sitting on his thigh.“I can't sleep. I want to sleep with you,” said Claire, falsely running her hands over Alex's broad chest.Alex's forehead wrinkled. He looked closely at Alice's face, whose facial features were so similar to the real Claire, that Alex did not realize that the woman in front of him was a different person.Feeling happy to see his wife acting aggressively, Alex then moved his hand, about to touch Alice's cheek, but was immediately brus
“Alex, don't take too long! Poor Valen and Evans are waiting for us.” Claire spoke to Alex who was currently hugging her from behind.The two of them were soaking in a large bathtub. Claire sat on Alex's lap and let him touch her body freely.“Just a moment, dear. Just let them wait,” Alex replied. It was a bit lazy to get out of the bathtub. The man was still engrossed in his toys.“But aren't we going to your grandmother's house? She'll be waiting for us, right?”“In five minutes, honey.”“You always say five more minutes.” Claire's lips pouted.Alex grinned widely. His hands were still active, overwhelming his wife.“Mommy! Daddy! Let's go to great-grandma's house! Mommy! What are you doing? We're all dressed up!” they were suddenly startled by the sound of knocking on the bathroom door.It was followed by Valen and Evans' loud voices calling out to them."I told you. The kids are waiting for us. Let's hurry, I'm afraid they'll get suspicious about what we're doing together in the
“Alex, I remember. Of course I remember. In fact, I thought it was you who forgot.”The reporters and Alex's coworkers around could only smile at Alex and Claire's harmony.Claire smiled sweetly. She looked at Alex's face with the same look.“I think your gift is too much. This hotel is too luxurious for me.”“This hotel is nothing compared to everything you've given me. Think of this hotel as a small part of my gratitude for sharing your life with me, for giving me a beautiful and intelligent son like Valen, for giving me a handsome and smart son like Evans, and for always being by my side. I love you, Claire Knight. There is not the slightest regret in my heart for living with you.”“I love you too, Alexander Knight. May we always be together until the end.”The next second, the kiss scene was again photographed and immortalized. Then the portrait of a warm embrace became the sweetest moment taken by the reporter's camera.***Alex's award ceremony really succeeded in grabbing the a
A year later...Evans had grown into a handsome toddler, he could already walk and say the words 'Mommy, Daddy.' His adorable behavior makes Alex and Claire can't resist kissing his chubby cheeks.Alex was playing with Valen in the living room, there was a large carpet in the living room so Valen could play there. While Alex watched and kept her company.“Mommy.” Valen grabbed a plastic flower stem and showed it to Alex as she stood up.Alex shook his head. “No, Evans, that's not Mommy. It's a flower.” Alex tried to correct his little boy's pronunciation.“But Evans is still little, Dad. It's natural that he still can't pronounce words correctly,” said Claire who came from the direction of the kitchen and walked towards Alex while carrying a cup of coffee on a tray.Alex chuckled at Claire's words. Maybe he thought what his wife said was true too.“Your coffee.” Claire handed the cup of coffee to Alex.Alex accepted it happily.“Thank you dear wife. I love you so much,” Alex said whi
Alex thought for a moment. He did have a little trouble choosing a name for his son. There were actually many good names that Alex had chosen. But for some reason, the names he chose were not pleasing to Alex.At the same time, Claire entered the incubator room in a wheelchair pushed by Emma. Alex and Valen smiled at the sight of Claire who had been allowed to see their little son.“Mommy!” Valen exclaimed enthusiastically seeing Claire.Claire put her index finger in front of her lips, signaling Valen to keep quiet in the incubator room where there were several babies.“Claire said she wanted to see her son.” Emma told Alex.Alex nodded, putting Valen down and letting her be taken over by Emma. Meanwhile, Alex switched to pushing the wheelchair occupied by Claire and pushed it so that Claire could see her baby from a close distance.“He's very handsome, isn't he?” Alex asked.Claire watched her son's face. Staring with emotion, Claire nodded her head.“He's so cute. I feel like holdi
"Miss Claire, your mother's condition is getting worse. She must undergo chemotherapy as soon as possible. And... I must remind you to pay the outstanding hospital bills immediately." Hearing about the medical bills, Claire immediately turned to stare at her mother's face as she lay on the hospital bed. "How much of the bill do I have to pay?""80 thousand dollars. Not including the chemotherapy."Claire sighed."Okay. I'll pay the bill right away, but please give me some time," Claire begged.Although she didn't know where she was going to get that kind of money.In fact, Claire already had $50,000 in savings. But the money had been borrowed from Noah - her boyfriend - who claimed to be in need at the time. Noah also promised to pay it back when he inherited his father's company.
