All Chapters of Widowed Billionaire Looking For Love: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Claire chose to swim to relieve her frustration. If it weren't for Abigail, her mood wouldn't be this bad. She swam two laps before stopping at one side of the pool, leaning her back against the edge and tilting her head back to soak in the sunlight, even though she knew it wasn't good for her skin."Still angry?" A voice startled Claire, making her open her eyes.She found herself staring into brown eyes that were gazing down at her, clearly wet as well. It was obvious the man had just finished swimming too. Claire chose to ignore his presence and closed her eyes again. The water rippling nearby indicated that he had also entered the pool."I'm here on their behalf to apologize," Antony continued when Claire didn't respond."Apologize for what?" she asked sarcastically, not even bothering to open her eyes."For everything," he replied flatly. "I thought you were mad because of Abigail and Flavia."Claire opened her eyes in surprise to find Antony standing so close to her."I won't de

"From what I know, he always asks someone else to represent him. If it's not Sir Altezza and Duncan, it's usually the PR team that steps in. Am I wrong?" Claire shook her head in response to Bella's rhetorical question. What Bella said was indeed true. Very true."What's suspicious is why he has to bring your niece along. At first, Abigail could serve as a bridge to connect him with his daughter, but does she have to be there all the time? The answer is no. Abigail doesn't need to be around if it's just about getting Antony and Flavia closer. But she must be there to connect you with Antony. Am I wrong?"Claire shook her head again. Bella didn't know that Antony had been trying to get close to her by leveraging Flavia's name. If she knew, Antony would score even lower in her eyes, and for some reason, Claire didn't want that to happen."But again, I think the reason for Antony's presence isn't the real issue that's bothering you. I know you like him, so don't deny it." Bella raised he

In the morning, Claire went to the office as usual. She decided to follow Gladwin's advice and not think about anything regarding Antony. After all, she didn't feel anything for the guy.Claire did like Flavia. What she felt for that girl was almost the same as what she felt for Abigail. But that was as far as it went; nothing more. Even the frustration she felt towards Antony, she considered to be a normal annoyance. After all, if the same situation happened to someone else, they would feel the same frustration she felt.Claire sat at her desk. Bella was already there, although not fully ready for work."Morning," her friend greeted her."Morning," Claire replied casually.Claire began her routine as usual, turning on her computer screen and then brewing her coffee. After that, she tackled all the reports that had piled up, as was typical for Mondays. By lunchtime, she finally looked up and was ready to go out with Bella."Are you not driving?" Bella asked as they descended to the lo

The three of them walked toward an empty table led by Claire, and once again Bella asked, "Why did you reject him? Was he really that ugly back then?" She inquired, showing no concern for Claire's feelings.Harry smiled, glancing at Claire sitting beside him, then shook his head. "She's beautiful. She's always been beautiful," he said sincerely. "I rejected her because I was embarrassed," he added, his face turning red."Embarrassed? Were you embarrassed, or were you actually scared because she's a scary girl?" Bella asked again, ignoring the nudge from Claire under the table."Scary?" Harry asked in confusion, furrowing his brow. "What's scary about her?" he queried, baffled. "Claire is a nice person. But I think she's too smart, and that made me insecure since she and Gladwin were always the best in class," he continued."But do you actually like her?" Bella pressed, receiving a nod from Harry. "What about now? Do you still like her?" Bella asked, making Harry glance at Claire shyly

"I'm tired of answering that same question, Claire," he replied flatly.He stood up, took her shoes, and left the room, only to return shortly after."So?" he asked as she placed her phone back on the nightstand."Gladwin's on vacation with his friends," she replied irritably. "You don't need to worry, Sir. I'll be fine after some rest." She was trying to politely dismiss him, but Antony only smiled in response."I already told you, if Gladwin couldn't come, I'd call my family doctor. He's on his way here now," Antony said casually. Claire stared at him in disbelief."Can you stop making decisions for me?" she asked, clearly upset. "I'm the one who's not feeling well, so why are you the one telling me what to do?"Instead of getting angry or upset, Antony just shrugged. "So, you admit you're not feeling well?" he challenged. "Haven't you been saying all this time that you're fine?""Sir..." Claire started to interrupt, but Antony cut her off."Can you stop calling me that? I feel anci
