CLAIRE

“I’ll apologize if I’m wrong, but that’s all,” I said firmly.

“Wait, where are you going? Claire!”

I ignored Charles’s calls and walked straight home. I shut the door tightly and headed to my room without looking back.

It wasn’t until I reached my room that I saw the two of them through the window. And sure enough, just as I’d guessed, they were even more intimate when I wasn’t watching them.

Oh, come on. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind at all if the two of them admitted their relationship t

    CLAIREI did go home. But not that day. I went home the next day on my way to work. The lights in the house were still off. I purposely came home early, before Charles usually wakes up, so I wouldn’t run into him and could go to work in peace. However, it turned out I was wrong. When I opened the door, I could instantly hear Charles and Eva laughing from the kitchen. There, with his back to where I was standing, Charles was hugging Eva’s waist from behind while sniffing her neck. Meanwhile, Eva was busy spreading jam on a slice of bread.I could only laugh silently at the sight. The way Charles was rubbing Eva’s belly and burying his head in her neck—it was clearly not just a platonic relationship. I took out my phone and recorded the moment. Only then did I go to my room. I didn’t want to linger in this house, so after changing clothes and getting ready, I went back downstairs. Unfortunately, when I reached the last step, Charles was setting plates on the dining table and he sa

I shut the door tightly and headed to my room without looking back. It wasn’t until I reached my room that I saw the two of them through the window. And sure enough, just as I’d guessed, they were even more intimate when I wasn’t watching them. Oh, come on. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind at all if the two of them admitted their relationship to me. It’s just that, if I file for divorce, I hope Charles won’t mind paying compensation for the losses I’ve suffered. And as for Eva, she has to accept the fact that the Charles she’s with now is a version of the man I shaped over the years—and he could revert to his old self if I leave.Honestly, my love for Charles is completely gone. There’s only disgust and revulsion left.I’m still hanging on just to get him back to the way he was when he first met me. I want him to go back to being the

  • The Divorce That Made Me Untouchable   Chapter 18 Go Away, Drama Queen

    CLAIREI told Charles everything I wanted, leaving nothing out. This time, I didn’t bottle it up inside just to spare him the trouble.Apart from the apartment, I also asked for a car on the grounds that Matthew wouldn’t have an excuse to drive me home if I had my own car. I also asked for the diamond necklace he’d once promised me right after we got married as a substitute for a honeymoon. There’s just one thing I haven’t asked for, and that’s money. I get a monthly check, but it’s not much. And when the time is right, I’ll ask for a large sum. Charles’s response? He agreed more quickly than when I asked for the apartment, without needing a long explanation. He even promised to buy me the latest car and make sure it’s at home by tomorrow morning before I leave for work. He also added that the diamond necklace he’ll give me will have a ruby pendant. My reaction? Of course, I pretended to be touched. I wish I’d known how good it feels to take advantage of a man who’s also tak

    CLAIRE“It’s a pleasure working with your mom, Matt,” I said calmly. Matthew gestured for me to touch the food.I had no choice but to eat it—just to show him respect and so I could get out of here quickly. “I’ve been curious these past eight years.”I looked up briefly. Our eyes met, and I quickly broke eye contact.“I thought you’d moved out of town. But I’m glad you’re still here, Claire.”Since I still didn’t understand where Matthew was going with this, I decided to stay silent and just listen to him.“These eight years have been the longest of my life. Every day felt longer than it should be.”Okay, it was clear Matthew now wanted to bring up our past. I put down my cutlery and wiped the corner of my mouth with a napkin. “You’re right. Eight years is more than enough time for someone to change.”Matthew was silent for a moment. He looked away. “Want to order something else?”I shook my head. “I’m full. Well then, I’ll ask Charles to pick me up now.”I reached into my bag for

    CLAIREI furrowed my brow. “Why are you asking me? I think I’m the one who should be asking you.”“I have only one problem. How to make you see the truth about Charles,” he replied calmly. I clenched my fists under the table. My eyes fixed on him without blinking. “I thought you asked me to meet because you were giving me the answer to my question that I asked over the phone yesterday.”“The job you’re looking for is available, Claire. Mom does need a fashion designer for the summer collection she’s launching next year.”I nodded calmly. “So, do I have a chance to apply?”“You’ve already been accepted. You’ll be filling that position. She chose you personally.”My eyes widened. Though I was extremely surprised, I tried to stay calm. “How is that possible? I haven’t even submitted my portfolio yet.”Matthew smiled. It was a smile I hadn’t seen in a long time. “That can come later as a matter of formality.”“Matt, but I haven’t even tried anything yet.”“Because she already knows your

    CLAIRE“No, wait!” I said a bit loudly. I then took a deep breath and looked at the phone screen once more. “Thank you for everything. The flowers and all your kindness, thank you.”“You knew it was me?”I chuckled softly. “Of course. There were sender initials that I thought he intentionally included on every bouquet.”It was Matthew’s turn to chuckle. “I just didn’t want you to mistake it for Charles. Besides, I remembered you like Lilies. So who knows, if I send them every day, it might help lift your mood.”See, this is what I mean. He hasn’t changed much. He still does whatever he can to make me happy. In the past, he tried just as hard. The difference was that back then, since his money was limited, he tried through other things. Now, when money is no longer an issue for him, he’s still just as generous.But that’s what makes me hate Matthew so much. How can he still be this good to me when I’ve hurt him so many times? I’m actually embarrassed because I’m causing him trouble ag
