“Claire, I’ve never forgotten you in six years.” Bryce looks at Claire affectionately and decides to say it
to her again.
“...”
Claire listens quietly and looks out the window. Bryce can’t see the expression on her face and doesn’t
know what she is thinking.
Claire is silent for a long time and whispers, “Bryce, you know we can’t be together. Whether six years
ago or six years later, we can’t be together. I don’t have that feeling for you, you know? I only think you
are a good brother to me.”
With that, Claire sighs and opens the door directly. When she gets off, she turns to Bryce and says,
“Bryce, I hope you are happy!”
With that, she closes the door gently and turns away.
“...” Bryce stares at the steering wheel and feels extremely frustrated. Claire doesn’t want to choose
him. Even if she is single now, she doesn’t want to.
Bryce freezes for a long time and smiles bitterly. He murmurs, “my happiness is you...”
Because of Bryce, Claire is in a bad mood. She bites her lip and goes into the elevator seriously.
As soon as the elevator door opens, Claire takes out the key and tries to open it. When she comes to
the door, she finds it is open!
God!
Claire frowns nervously and warily. She thinks of closing the door before she went out today. So why is
the door open?
Is there a thief?
Claire takes a deep breath and gently opens the door. She stoops and walks slowly into the house. She
looks around warily and is surprised to find the furnishings in the room neat. They are completely
untouched.
Is there no thief? What happened?
If a thief comes into her house, it will be a mess. Why is her house so tidy?
Claire looks around and gets an explanation. When she looks at the balcony, she accidentally sees a
familiar figure.
Is he an acquaintance? Who has the key to her home? She never gives anyone the key to her house!
Knowing it is an acquaintance, Claire stops bending. She straightens up and puts on her slippers and
goes to the balcony to see who the man is.
When she comes near and sees the familiar side face, she is shocked!
Her steps suddenly stop.
It’s Juan! He’s back home, too. When did it happen? He didn’t call her in advance.
Claire looks at Juan’s lonely back. The smoke drifts from his front to his back. Juan is smoking on the
balcony. His figure seems very lonely.
Claire can’t bear it for a while. She has never seen Juan smoke for six years. At the moment, he even
smokes, and his back looks so miserable...
Hearing the sound behind him, Juan slowly turns back. He looks lonely and says, “you didn’t tell me
you went back to City A. I didn’t find you both when I went to your house in France.”
“I...” Claire touches her head awkwardly and smiles, “I left you a note. Conan was disobedient so I left
in a hurry. I didn’t have time to call you. Sorry...”
“Sorry?” Juan looks really depressed. As he approaches Claire, he says in a low voice, “you’ve been so
polite to me for six years. Claire, we’ve been together for so many years, and I always think I have a
place in your mind. I didn’t expect...”
Juan suddenly stops.
Claire is nervous and doesn’t dare look Juan in the eye. She lowers her head and murmurs, “I’ve
always regarded you as my good friend. It’s my fault that I didn’t inform you in time. I’ll never do that
again.”
Hearing it, Juan chuckles and laughs at himself, “I don’t think there will be another time. Would you like
to go back to France?”
“Yes! Of course!” Claire raises her head sharply and looks at Juan and says seriously, “when I find
Conan, we’ll go back to France!”
“We?” Juan says dejectedly, “including me? I always thought that I worked hard for six years and could
move you. I didn’t expect you doesn’t like me at all. Friend? I have taken good care of you for six years.
Are we just friends in the end?”
With that, Juan smiles for a while. He suddenly puts his arm around Claire’s waist and lets her close to
him. He looks down quickly and wants to kiss Claire.
Claire is startled by Juan’s sudden move. Looking at his approaching face, Claire puts her hands on
Juan’s chest and pushes him away.
At the same time she turns her head and shouts, “Juan, no! I really just think of you as a very good
friend! I remember your kindness and devotion to Conan and me in the past six years. I swear I will pay
you back what I owe you! But please don’t do it!”
Feeling Claire’s strong refusal, Juan’s movement stops. He stops looking down to kiss her and holds
still.
After hearing Claire’s words, he sighs and is lonely and sad. He puts Claire in his arms and sighs,
“Claire, I don’t want your reward. I don’t want to be your friend. I want to marry you and be with you
forever. I want to have a lovely baby with you.”
“Claire, I love you.”
“...”
Juan’s affection makes Claire unable to push him away and refuse him.
She knows that Juan and she have lived in France for six years and that he has taken care of them for
six years. He is gentle and careful.
At first she felt strange. Then Juan taught her to speak French.
When she gave birth to Conan, he acted as a nanny and took charge of Claire’s daily life. He took care
of her until she recovered.
When Conan was very young, sometimes Claire was busy so he took care of him. Juan watched
Conan grow up. He’s Conan’s second father.
There’s only Juan from start to finish!
