Claire looks cold with rage. Her words hit Leo’s heart deeply and pierce his bones, which makes him
miserable.
Leo wants to say something, but he finds something stuck in his throat. He is speechless and
miserable. He even has difficulty breathing.
Leo’s eyes are reddish. He says to Claire in agony, “but I forgive what your mother did to my family.
You...”
He means I’ve let go of the hate and given you a chance. Why can’t you let go of hatred and give me a
chance?
Hearing this, Claire is stunned for a moment, but then she thinks that they are two different things, and
she sneers at Leo with cold face, “this is your fault! My mother’s grudge with your family is the matter of
the previous generation. I don’t know what happened. Why don’t you let them go? You use it to
negotiate with me now. You don’t deserve it!”
“...”
Leo steps back two steps in amazement. He looks at Claire in front of him as if he doesn’t know her.
Or he doesn’t really know Claire or care about her. So he doesn’t know Claire hates him that much.
Does he really deserve it?
Is he going to give up?
It’s impossible!
He will never give up!
“No!” Leo looks up at Claire and says firmly, “Claire, no matter how much you hate me now, I won’t give
up on you! Believe me. I’m willing to do my best to compensate you! It doesn’t matter if you don’t
forgive me. I’ll wait! Even if you let me wait for a lifetime, I will wait until you are willing to forgive me!”
“Don’t pretend in front of me. I don’t believe it!” Claire turns. She doesn’t want to see Leo look
remorseful and aggrieved.
Leo, why didn’t you think of this when you hurt me, killed my father and Bryce?
You’re pretending to be miserable in front of me now. When I was hurt by you, I was more painful than
you!
Does it hurt? I just want to make you miserable. You deserve it!
...
They part unhappily. The next day, Leo still comes to see Claire at the hospital and he is more
enthusiastic than before.
Now Claire is upset to see him. Didn’t they make it clear last night? Doesn’t he give up?
Leo wants to return the jade pendant to Claire today. She wants to ignore Leo, but when she sees this
jade pendant, she is very sad.
It’s the heirloom her father left her and the only thing he left her. Now her father is dead, and she lives
alone in the world.
As soon as Claire picks up the jade pendant in Leo’s hand, she can’t help crying, “Dad...”
Seeing Claire cry, Leo feels sad. He wants to hold her in his arms and comfort her, but he knows that
Claire will not accept his touch now.
“Go away!” Claire growls.
Leo is embarrassed and wants to tell Claire about her father. “Actually, when you saw your father’s
death notice that day, I just learned about his death. I’m sorry about your father. Don’t be too sad.”
He pats Claire on the back.
That’s not what he said that day!
Leo’s words bring Claire back to her senses. She wipes her tears and pats Leo’s hand off. She looks
cold. “Don’t touch me! I don’t need your comfort. I remember exactly what you said to me!”
“I said it that day because I was angry. I was lying...” Before Leo finishes, Claire coldly interrupts.
“Leo, have you said enough? If I were you, I would not stay here and say these words! Get out of here!
I don’t want to see you!” Claire’s face is cold. No matter what Leo says at the moment, she will not
believe it. His bad habits have been engraved in Claire’s mind.
When Claire finishes, Leo turns around dejectedly and leaves. She is frustrated to see that he finally
leaves.
If you has listened to me earlier and believed me, this will not have happened.
Claire holds the jade pendant in her hand and she feels lonely and unwilling. She lowers her head and
cries in silence.
Dad, I miss you so much.
Claire’s sadness lasts only a moment. Her body is suddenly held down. A strong figure presses on her
and kisses her lips.
He is sometimes gentle and sometimes domineering. He slowly tastes the taste of her mouth as if he
were going to eat her.
“Claire... Don’t cry... Don’t drive me away...” Leo mumbles. He feels Claire’s body skillfully. He wants to
make her sexually aroused before she pushes him away.
Claire groans and suddenly gets excited. Damn it, she is seduced by Leo.
But when Claire thinks of the baby in her belly, she is shocked and starts to push Leo.
“Leo, go away. Do not...”
“Don’t worry, Claire. I won’t do that. I know you have our baby in your stomach.” Leo says softly. At the
moment, he just wants her to forgive him.
Yeah, their baby.
Before Claire reacts, Leo’s movements are more gentle. Her consciousness gradually blurs. She has
never seen such a gentle and careful Leo.
Claire can’t help pandering to him.
Leo is surprised and he kisses her more tenderly.
They gradually indulge in the kiss.
