Part 51

Antony woke up without opening his eyes and felt soreness in his upper right arm. Instantly, he realized that he was not in his own bedroom.Startled, Antony opened his eyes and saw the side of the bed where Claire usually slept was empty."Claire?" he called out in a hoarse voice. Soon after, he saw Claire coming out of the bathroom with wet hair."Did you take a shower?" Antony asked, surprised. Claire touched her hair and nodded."Your body still isn't healthy. Has your fever gone down?" Antony approached to touch Claire's forehead, but she pulled her face back first, making Antony irritated, and he looked at her with a sharp gaze."The best remedy for a fever is a warm bath," the girl continued, now with a relaxed tone. Claire walked back into her room, but suddenly her body swayed. Fortunately, Antony was quick to catch her. He could feel that her body temperature hadn't actually gone down."A warm bath is good, but it doesn't have to be right now," Antony said, frustrated becaus

"Is there anyone around here who usually sells breakfast?" Antony asked again.Claire opened her eyes again, looking at Antony, who was gazing at her curiously. She couldn't help but chuckle."Why?" Antony asked, surprised."If they do, are you going to go there and buy some?" Claire challenged."That's why I'm asking," Antony replied flatly. He was puzzled, wondering what was funny about his question.But Antony's confusion was met with laughter. "How can a CEO buy breakfast for his subordinates? Isn't it supposed to be the other way around?" Claire mocked."What's wrong with a CEO buying breakfast? Is it forbidden? Or do you think I'm the type of CEO who can only use my finger?" Claire nodded at his question. Antony scoffed immediately. "You've been influenced too much by Korean dramas and romance novels," he teased back.Claire frowned. How could he come to such a conclusion? Antony pointed to one of the cabinets in Claire's room, filled with her favorite romance novels."Those are

Antony returned to the house and headed straight to the kitchen, looking for utensils before transferring the porridge he had bought into a bowl and placing it on a tray along with a glass of warm water that he had poured from the dispenser.Claire was still lying with her back to the door. The girl's body seemed to be shivering slightly, and her breaths appeared short and shallow. Antony set the tray on the nightstand and then touched the back of his hand to Claire's forehead.Hot. It seemed he would have to force her to go to the hospital this time."Claire, eat your breakfast first," Antony said, touching the girl's shoulder. Claire let out a soft groan but then turned to look at Antony. "I ordered your porridge just the way you like it," he said. Claire furrowed her brow. "I called Flavia, and she said to just say 'Aunty C's porridge,' and the vendor would understand," Antony explained plainly."You shouldn't have...""I didn't tell Flavia that you were sick and staying here, so d

Part 54

Now Claire was mute. Did she actually hate Antony? She didn't know. Did she hate the man, or did she simply not respect him? There was a difference between the two words, wasn't there?"Have you forgotten the saying, 'You don't love what you don't know'?" Antony's question disrupted Claire's thoughts. She looked at him with a furrowed brow. "Whatever you've heard about me, I don't know how much of it is true.""But if you want to know about me from my perspective, don't hesitate to ask. I'll answer everything honestly," Antony replied firmly.Claire could only remain silent. She felt uneasy, embarrassed, and there was some other feeling she couldn't quite articulate."But in return, if I ask you something, you have to tell me the truth as well. Not something made up. Especially not something that will make me even more jealous," Antony added, his expression now annoyed."What do you mean?" Claire asked, confused."I don't mean anything by it," Antony answered ambiguously. "So, do you

Part 55

Both Antony and Claire fell silent. Claire knew she had crossed a line. She shouldn't have asked such a personal question, especially since it might deeply hurt Antony's feelings, as he was forced to bring up a past he likely wanted to forget. She felt she had asked the wrong question. She was about to retract it when Antony spoke."Isn't it better to ask someone who knows me that kind of question?" he countered. Claire looked up at him, confused. "If you ask me directly, what if I turn the facts around?"Claire fell silent. "That could happen. But hearing it from someone else might not give you the real answer either. They could exaggerate or twist the facts just to make you look better. But it could also be the opposite. So it's better to ask the person directly who experienced the actual events," Claire replied logically. Antony smiled."You are indeed different," he murmured.Claire raised an eyebrow, puzzled. But Antony answered her unvoiced question with a smile."If I tell you

"It's too late for that," Claire shrugged. "But I won't push you," she finally replied. She didn't want to bring up Antony's past, especially if it would hurt him. Although she was indeed curious."Let's just say your marriage to Flavia's mother ended. And I conclude it didn't end well," Claire continued. Antony nodded. "But why did you choose to give Flavia up to your parents?"Antony smiled sadly again. "The end of our marriage shattered me completely at that time. My world, which I thought was perfect, seemed to collapse with just one divorce certificate.""Seeing Flavia felt like a reminder of the biggest mistake and failure of my life. I unjustly blamed that innocent little baby. The truth is, from the beginning, I was the one at fault. I was the one who didn't listen when my mother and aunts forbade me from marrying Flavia's mother."I was the one who forced myself to hold on to something that I never truly possessed from the start. Love made me blind, and I got swept away in it

Claire sat up and moved closer to Antony. He had closed his eyes, bracing himself for a slap from her, but just a moment after shutting his eyes, he opened them wide and looked at Claire in disbelief. The warmth spreading on his cheek wasn't from the anticipated slap but from Claire's hands cradling his face. To his utter surprise, she pressed her lips against his."Claire?" Antony gasped as she sat back in her place, acting as if nothing had happened.Claire ignored his call and chose to lie back on the bed, hiding herself under the blanket. "I'm tired. Really sleepy. I want to sleep," she said tersely."Claire?" Antony called her name again."What now!?" Claire glared at him with wide eyes. "From now on, stop using Flavia. If you really want to get close to me, be honest and gentlemanly. Don't use pity as a bait. I like Flavia and care for her just as I do Abigail, so don't hurt her feelings by using her to try to win me over," she scolded. But Antony was frozen in place, still proc

"She loves you, or she makes you believe that she loves you," Gian retorted sharply. "If she really loved you, she wouldn't have done what she did back then. I heard that when you returned, you found out she was cheating with a French businessman, right? Isn't that true?" Gian asked, his gaze probing."More than that. That woman was even in bed with that man when Antony came back.""Damn!" Gian cursed sharply. "You saw her with another man while she was carrying your child?""I even initially doubted that she was Antony's child," Altezza replied flatly. "If I hadn't seen her eyes, I would have truly suspected she belonged to another man. Flavia's face is completely her mother's," she continued. Antony chose to look away. "Now, back to the original topic, cousin. Think again about what you feel for Claire. Is this just an obsession because she's bruised your ego, or do you genuinely like her for who she is?""Why do you keep asking about Antony's feelings?" Gian challenged Altezza. "It

At the same time, in another place..."Come on..." Flavia kept shaking Abigail's arm. Abigail, who was focused on her reading, slammed her book down on the table and glared at her friend."Via, Aunty is still mad at me. Do you understand?" she said in Italian, which only made Flavia giggle. "I'm trying to learn Italian, so stop bothering me," Abigail continued, annoyed. "Besides, why do you keep insisting I call Aunty C?""I'm just curious," Flavia replied innocently. "My dad asked about Aunty C's favorite porridge this morning. I suspect they had breakfast together. If that's true, it means Aunty C isn't mad at my dad. What do you think?" Flavia asked, full of hope.Abigail squinted her eyes. "If that's the case, it means Aunty C has been unfair to me," she said, irritated."How is that unfair?" Flavia asked, furrowing her brow."It means I'm the only one she's mad at while your dad isn't. Your dad should be treated the same way I am—ignored!" Abigail grumbled in frustration. Flavia

"Well, we can just check," Haisley replied, snapping back to reality.Abigail looked at Flavia again. Her friend was nodding enthusiastically.Abigail shrugged. She had no reason to refuse her friend's request. "Alright. After school, we'll go there," she said. Flavia cheered happily and reflexively hugged Abigail. "Are you coming too?" Abigail asked Haisley.Haisley shook her head. "I have my regular study group," she replied. Abigail simply nodded.At 2:30 PM, after school was dismissed, the two of them immediately flagged down a taxi. Abigail and Flavia walked toward the gate and exchanged glances when they saw that the gate was locked."Don't you have a spare key?" Flavia asked again, her head poking around to peek through the part of the gate that was partially blocked by thick plastic. "Abby..." she tapped her friend's arm quickly. "That's my dad's car," she said in a whisper.For a moment, Abigail stopped searching her bag for the house key and joined Flavia in peeking. The car
