"I am human too. I can feel pain and sadness," Claire said.

It was the first time she had ever broken down and cried in front of Jason and looked so weak.

The woman cried like a battered child. "Why are you doing this to me, what have I done wrong?"

But Claire was not Alice, and even if she cried with all the sadness she had long harbored, she would not win Jason's heart, because in his eyes, Claire's tears were nothing more than a tool to gain sympathy.

Claire looked at his cold and indifferent expression and suddenly realized that her tears were just a joke.

She could cry in front of anyone, but not in front of this man.

Suddenly, Claire laughed, her tear-stained face smiling brightly. "I almost forgot, you never believed my tears, so it seems my fake crying didn't work on you."

Jason's hands slowly tightened at her sides and Claire could clearly feel his anger growing.

"Even if that's true, do you think I care?" he asked. "Even if you don't want me to touch you while I'm imagining

  • My Cruel Ex-husband Wants to Reconcile with Me   Chapter 44. I'm Not Giving You Back Your Phone,

    Calvin came out of his room, probably because he heard Claire's scream, while the others knew they could not interfere."Dad?" Calvin greeted his father. "What happened? Why is Aunt Claire screaming?""I had a quarrel with her," Jason answered honestly. "You don't want her to leave, do you? So don't try to help her out of the room this time!"Calvin hesitated for a moment before nodding."Good. Go back to your room," his father ordered, and Calvin went back to his room without saying anything more.Claire's screams could no longer be heard as she collapsed exhausted on the floor next to the bed. She hugged herself as she shivered and cried. She looked around. What if there was another fire? What if she couldn't get out of here while the fire consumed the entire building?Just then, someone opened the door and walked in. It was Jason.Claire ran to him immediately. "Jason, please... don't lock me in. Don't keep the door locked. I promise... I'm not going anywhere. I'm not going anywhe

  • My Cruel Ex-husband Wants to Reconcile with Me   Chapter 45. Special Pasta

    Jason unconsciously raised his hand to touch Claire's head, but he suddenly realized that Theo was standing at the door, and the man was so startled that he reflexively pushed Claire's head away from him.Claire, who had been concentrating on applying the medicine, fell to the bed in a daze. "What the hell?" she asked irritably, holding her head as she tried to get up."Looks like I came at a bad time." Theo, who was standing in the doorway, saw the incident and couldn't help but laugh."At least close the door!" Jason said to Claire. He really didn't notice that the door to his room was not closed. "And you, couldn't you have knocked before coming in?" he said to Theo.Theo came in with medical equipment: "The door was open, so I didn't have to knock."Jason looked at him angrily. "Who told you to come? I didn't call you today.""She told me to come." Theo pointed at Claire. "She called me last night and said you had a high fever. But I couldn't come last night, so I came today."Cla

    "Where are the maids at home? Why did you make the noodles?"Claire scoffed. "I didn't bother calling the maid, it was easy anyway."Jason narrowed his eyes. "You can't seduce Theo, he already has a girlfriend and he won't love you."Claire laughed affectionately, and her hands gripped the newspaper as tightly as if she were squeezing the neck of the man in front of her.Why did he think she was seducing Theo? It was just a plate of pasta.Thinking that her priority now was to treat her wound, Claire didn't want to engage him, but to Jason, her silence seemed like consent.Jason's tone became worse, "You should listen to my advice, he loves someone and he would do anything for this woman, then you won't be able to get close to him. So you better give up."Claire was silent, holding back her anger, but all she could do was roll her eyes uncontrollably while maintaining her silence.Sometimes this man's imagination really was as big as the universe.Claire threw down the newspaper and w

    Jason immediately signaled his servant not to make a sound, but Claire woke up anyway. She sat up half-conscious and didn't notice that Jason was holding her hand. She asked Jason curiously, "What's wrong?" Jason pulled his hand away from Claire and looked away, "Nothing." Claire looked at her own hand, then at Jason's cold expression, then stood up, "Hey, listen, it's not me holding your hand, it's you. You think of me as Alice again." Jason was not satisfied with her explanation. He snorted, but didn't speak, and Claire didn't want to explain any more. Looking toward the door, Claire noticed that the waiter had just put breakfast on the coffee table, and she suddenly felt very hungry and wanted breakfast. "I'll change the bandage after breakfast," she said, then took Jason's breakfast and put it on the nightstand while she ate it on the coffee table. Jason looked at the breakfast, which was the same every day, and thought about the pasta Claire had made for Theo yesterda

    "What’s your plan for the press conference later, sir?" Paul asked.Jason frowned and stayed quiet for a moment. "I’m going to tell everyone that Chloe is my wife. Claire has been using Chloe’s name.""You can’t do that," Mandy cut in. "Your rivals have been waiting for a chance to drag your name — and the company — through the mud. If you admit she’s your wife, they’ll jump at the chance to call her a cheater with Gabriel."Paul didn’t agree either, but he stayed silent.Jason let out a low grunt. "I want to make Claire’s identity clear so nobody dares to spread baseless rumors anymore.""Even if the press holds back, people will still gossip," Mandy said sharply. "You should say that Chloe did this for Gabriel, that she was just lying — pretending to be Claire because they look alike. Besides, you already told everyone she was just a maid. If you suddenly claim she’s your wife, it’ll sound like you’re contradicting yourself. The media will tear you — and DA Group — apart.""Stay out

    "Guess what I'm gonna do at the press conference?" Jason said, a sly edge to his voice.Claire turned to him, brows furrowed. "What?"Jason pressed his lips together, then said each word slow and cold, "Gabriel’s taking the fall for this. No matter what."Claire stiffened. "What are you talking about?""He's the reason this mess started," Jason snapped. "He used my wife's name to stir things up. You think I'm just gonna let that slide?""It’s not clear yet who's really behind it," Claire argued, her voice sharp. "You can’t just accuse people without proof."Jason’s hands curled into fists. "I don’t care. As far as I’m concerned, he’s guilty.""Jason ...""Get out."Claire glared at him, hurt flashing in her eyes, but she spun around and walked out without another word.Behind her, glass shattered against the wall. She paused for half a second, heart racing... but didn’t look back.Jason had lost it. Completely. No matter how much she did for him, it was never enough.What else did he

    Inside the women's prison.Claire Wynne slowly reached the door with a big belly.She had been locked up for two days and had eaten nothing because of that man.A piece of bread was kicked near the door and she reached out her red hands to pick up the hard, dirty bread and ate it bit by bit.Suddenly the door opened. "Claire Wynne, you have a visitor," a prison guard said.Without time to think, Claire was roughly dragged and pushed into the visiting room.Behind the door, she finally saw the man she had loved for ten years."How is your mother?" She asked sadly."How dare you ask that!" Jason Bradford suddenly grabbed her by the neck and looked extremely cruel, as if he wanted to kill her. "Because of you, my mother will never wake up again. It's okay that you tricked me into sleeping with you and kidnapped Alice. I can let all that go. But how dare you hurt my mother when she loves you so much!"Claire could only shake her head. She had loved him since they were in college, but she

    "Ah!" Claire woke up from her nightmare.She immediately touched her stomach, but her flat stomach made her sad.There was nothing there because her child had died in the fire.It had been five years since that day, but she repeated the same dream every night. The nightmare where the flames almost took her life.Thick smoke surrounded her and consumed her, her baby was pale and not breathing, and Jason's cold and cruel appearance also appeared.Whatever was in that nightmare had killed her. Although five years had passed, when she thought about it, she could still feel the pain.Suddenly, the phone rang and it was a call from Laura."Damn, the opening ceremony is about to start, why haven't you come yet?" Laura grumbled as soon as Claire answered the phone.She was Laura's personal assistant. Laura had some activities today and Claire had to be at the hotel before the promised time.Claire hurried off and a few minutes later the taxi pulled up right in front of the hotel. Claire got o

    When Jason held her hand, what surprised Claire was that her hand felt very warm. Oh no, it was not just warm, his body temperature was extremely hot and definitely abnormal."Jason..." She looked intently at the man on the bed again, and only then did she notice the unnatural flush in his cheeks.Jason probably had a fever.With that thought, Claire used her other hand to check his forehead.When she did, she pulled her hand back in surprise.His fever was very high."Don't leave me. Don't go." Jason muttered as he pulled Claire's hand tightly, repeating the words over and over.He must have thought that she was Alice.Claire tried to pull her hand away, but Jason's grip was so strong that her struggle was futile.She happened to see his cell phone on the nightstand, and with great difficulty she tried to grab it, then used Jason's index finger to unlock it, then found Theo's number and called him.No one answered the first time, so she tried again.It was after midnight and she didn

    When Claire walked into Jason's room, the man was leaning against the bed, his face looking more tired than yesterday, his lips more dry and cracked, he looked weak.Claire stood outside the door for a long time, waiting for Jason to throw her out, but he didn't say anything, just kept looking at something on his phone, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.Claire thought she could leave quietly, but that seemed wrong, so she said: "Turns out you're already better than yesterday."Jason looked at her. "You came early in the morning to see if I was dead or not, right?"Hoping Jason would chase her away, Claire deliberately baited him, "Yes, but unfortunately God didn't hear my inner screams and let you live a healthy life."Jason's eyes narrowed and his jaw clenched in annoyance.Claire pursed her lips and smiled slightly, "Okay, I guess you don't want to see me either, so I'd better go, okay?" she said hopefully."Stay here!" Jason said casually, then his attention returned to h
