Claire is taken aback and tries to pull back the hand that Bryce has seized, but when she moves, he
holds it tighter and she could not pull it out.
Claire sighs, looks at Bryce in front of her, and remembers their past and agreement. There is some
pain in her heart.
Bryce, if it is just because of my stepmother, maybe I would still leave with you now, but it is different.
My first sex night, everything about me, includes Leo, all stands between us.
I can’t do that...
Before Claire could answer, Bryce is even more desperate, faced with a terrible pain, but clung to her
wrist and refuses to let go.
Suddenly, he takes Claire from the next seat into his arms.
Holding on to Claire as she struggles and flees, Bryce says in a sobbing voice, “Give me a hug, Claire,
give me a hug, please...”
His voice is low and painful, and Claire’s frantic struggling hand suddenly stops, and her heart is in a
state of agony. She doesn’t know what to do.
But now, Leo, wearing dark sunglasses, sees the scene through his car window across the street. He
clearly sees the look on Claire’s face, which is not the way she looked at him..
And she allowed the man to hold her...
Leo is furious and his fists are clenched, “Claire, who was so indignant about my affair? What are you
doing now?”
For no reason, Leo feels as if something has been suddenly taken from his heart. He doesn’t like this
kind of feeling, which makes him angry, furious. He punches the back of the car chair, stares at the two
people in the cafe, and rolls up the window.
The driver in front the car sees such an expression of Leo, shudders, “Boss, where are we going next?”
he asks cautiously.
He has never seen Leo get so angry about anything so he is scary.
Leo doesn’t answer, but continues to think with his eyes closed. He doesn’t know the man who is
holding Claire, but intuition tells him that the relationship between them is not simple.
Could he be the man that Claire gave the first sex night to?!
With that in mind, Leo’s anger grows even more intense as he thought of her lying under that man. He
won’t admit that he’s jealous.
It is a long time before Leo opens his mouth and says, “Drive!”
The driver is taken aback and doesn’t know where he is going, so he asks carefully again, “Where are
we going, boss?”
Leo shouts impatiently, “I said drive!”
The driver is so frightened that he dares not speak any more, and then he has to start the car and
leave.
...
“Claire, I can give you anything you want, as long as you come back to me, okay?” Bryce hugs Claire
and speaks more bitterly.
Bryce sees that Claire didn’t stop him, so he holds her tightly.
Claire is shocked to see that he is still so obdurate, immediately vigorously pushes aside Bryce,
separates the distance between them.
Before Bryce could stand up, Claire says, “Bryce, the oath I made with you was just a child’s joke. How
can we be serious? I have forgotten, and you should forget it!”
Bryce hears her words, suddenly shakes his head, “No, Claire, that is not a joke, that is a solemn
promise I made. The whole life should be spent in fulfilling the commitment, how can I forget? How
could you forget?”
Claire, who feels extremely sad in her heart, looks at Bryce in front of her. She takes a deep breath,
and continues, “So what? As for me, that is a joke, I have married. I am very happy now. What’s more,
my husband’s family is very rich. You don’t have any money. He does. Do you understand? I am such a
superficial woman!”
Claire says, lowering her head and not daring to look at him. She pretends to be calm, drinks a sip of
coffee in front of her, and tries to look like she doesn’t care.
“Did you marry him for his money? Claire, I know you are not like that!” Bryce looks incredulously at
Claire and shouts with a firm voice.
Bryce would never have believed that Claire, who had lived with him for so long, would be a money-
worshiping girl, and if so, he would never have fallen in love with her.
Claire doesn’t want to say anything more. She is afraid she would not fit in, so she just stands up and
packs up and says, “Sorry, I am going home. My husband’s still at home waiting for me.”
When she has finished, she turns and leaves without any hesitation.
Bryce looks at her back and recalls what she has said. He clenches his fist and slams it on the table.
“Claire, tell me it is not the real you!!!”
He doesn’t believe that Claire is going to be like that. Absolutely not! He is not going to give up. He is
not going to give up Claire!
Bryce finally calms down. Suddenly, he picks up his mobile phone and makes a phone call.
On the other side of the phone is an old, elderly man, “Bryce? Ah, just say, why do you want to call
me?”
“Elder, I promise you, I will carry on the family business!” Bryce says it almost through gritted teeth,
then closes his eyes, hurt and miserable, but unrepentant.
“Ah? Great! You finally change your mind? Well, well, no problem, as long as you are willing to come
back, I will send someone to set you up!” The old man on the other side of the phone seems very
happy.
After hanging up the phone, Bryce closes his eyes and he leans to the chair and takes a nap,
muttering, “If you like power and money, I can give it to you, all of it. Claire, I can give you anything you
want, but I just want you...”
...
On the other side, Claire, who leaves the cafe, stops a taxi and goes back to the Howard house.
As soon as she gets home, a couple of maids comes straight over and surrounds Claire.
Claire feels scary and is covered in her mouth before she could shout, while she is tied up and led into
a dark room.
