Chapter 27: How Could You Not Love Me
Clara leaned against the car, her body languidly tilted, but her eyes were sharp like two sharp swords, piercing directly into Samuel Grant’s heart: "Aren’t you just the same, with that unclear relationship with Daisy Stone right there, who can really see through what’s going on between you two? I don’t think you have anything to be ashamed about."
Samuel’s hand trembled slightly. He resisted the impulse to slap Clara hard, clenched his fists, and reminded himself to stay calm.
He silently chanted in his heart: Endure for a moment, and everything will be calm; only by calming down can he think of a way to win back her feelings for him!
After taking a deep breath, Samuel tried to soften his tone, "Clara, I know I’ve probably caused you a lot of harm and trouble during this time, but please believe me; you really couldn’t be interested in my uncle, right? It was just words spoken in anger."
"Yes, there is indeed a kind of ambiguous relationship between Daisy and me, but that was completely because she took advantage of my drunken state to make some wrong moves. Ever since we confirmed our relationship, I’ve tried my best to avoid any disrespectful actions towards you, which even made my mom misunderstand our marital life."
"All the decisions are because I love you too much, cherish our relationship too much to touch you lightly, just like what happened in the hotel that day was one of the unavoidable choices. When you last made me choose, I stood by your side without hesitation. You should know my intention; I’ve always treated this relationship with the utmost sincerity."
However, in the face of such explanations and defenses, Clara only sneered, "Maybe what you’re saying sounds quite touching, but the fact is that I’ve already lost the passion and enthusiasm I once had for you. Your uncle has not only exceptional looks but also wealth; there are too many outstanding people in this world, and he has already entered deep into my heart, becoming an irreplaceable presence."
Hearing such a cold response from the other party, Samuel couldn’t help but feel a chilling sensation rising up in his heart, his teeth gritting so hard they almost drew blood from his lower lip.
"Clara, are you trying to punish me in such an extreme way? Actually, I know the reason you’ve chosen to approach my uncle is nothing more than hoping to plunge me into endless pain!"
"But actually, all this precisely proves that you haven’t been able to completely let go of our emotional ties. Honestly, although it seems on the surface that you’ve made up your mind to follow William Foster, aren’t you unwilling to do so in your heart?"
