CLAIRE

“Now, ready to talk?”

I glanced at Matthew through the rear-view mirror. We’d left Charles’s house behind, leaving Charles and Eva who seemed to have absolutely no regrets. And now we were heading… who knows where.

“What am I supposed to tell you?”

“Claire.” Matthew took my hand, which was wrapped in gauze. Yes, he’d treated my foot and hand before we left. He’d done it so gently and carefully, as if I were a fragile item.

“Look at what’s happened to you. Even if you say nothing happ

  • The Divorce That Made Me Untouchable   Chapter 39 From My Best Friend to My Future

    CLAIRE“I hear that a lot.” I pulled the half-eaten piece of candy still hanging from his mouth and ate it. “Maybe so. But have you ever heard it from me?” I glanced at him. “Just because this is the first time I’ve heard it from you doesn’t mean you really feel that way.”“Hmm, okay, it’s fine if you don’t believe me yet. I can prove it as time goes on.”I rolled my eyes and pretended to look for another snack. But honestly, deep down, I was nervous. I don’t know if it’s the fear of being betrayed or because my trust has just been completely shattered. So now, sweet words don’t have any effect on me. I even see them as something that’s bound to turn bitter later on. Yeah, I know Matthew is a good person. But being good doesn’t guarantee he’ll follow through on everything he says, right? That’s what I always think. “Feeling better?” “I don’t know.” I finally lay down. I slept on my back, facing the sky, with both hands on my belly. “What if I disappoint you or can’t meet your ex

  • The Divorce That Made Me Untouchable   Chapter 38 The Woman He Finds Attractive

    CLAIREWith a smile on his face and an innocent expression, Matthew walked casually. “I’m just helping you. If you walk on your own, your feet might hurt even more. Besides, how are you supposed to walk with just one shoe?”I smacked him on the back once to vent my annoyance. But after that, slowly, I stopped resisting. Not only was it pointless because our strength wasn’t matched, but I was also too tired today and didn’t have the energy to put up a fight anymore. So, instead of kicking my legs in the air, I decided to look at Matthew’s face. From down here, I could see the difference in his jawline from a few years ago. Now it’s more defined, more like a man’s—not the cute, innocent teenager he used to be. The Matthew of today has truly changed. “Admiring my face, hmmm?”“Ugh, what’s with you! Don’t get too full of yourself. I was just looking at the sky because there are so many stars.”Matthew, being the kind of person who believes in evidence, simply looked up. “You’re right.

  • The Divorce That Made Me Untouchable   Chapter 37 Nobody Gets Me Like You

    CLAIREMatthew pressed the pen again. Then he handed it to me. "I've kept my promise. Now you can keep it with you. You can use it if you feel I'm breaking my promise."He slipped it into my hand. I took it, putting it away in my bag. "What do I do with it?" I asked curiously."Sue me? I'll prepare a personal lawyer for you. It's not that I plan to renege, but as a protection for you. After all, no matter who it is, in marriage, the woman is on average the most disadvantaged party. So even if I'm not going to do it, I still want to facilitate you with a lawyer and if necessary a marriage agreement. As for the points, what should be in there, you can decide."Oh what is this? Is this how it is to be married to a man who is emotionally, financially and intellectually prepared? Is this how it is to have a relationship with a man who has emotional intelligence? It's not even anything yet but he's already providing protective efforts for me, without me even asking. Why does it feel so e

  • The Divorce That Made Me Untouchable   Chapter 36 Permission to Marry

    CLAIREFinally, for the first time in years, I reunited Matthew with mom. I had thought this through, and I decided to accept Matthew's offer. In his car I cried for almost an hour by myself, letting all my emotions out. Only then did I explain mom's situation in more detail. And he ended up driving me to see her, without me begging. I refused many times because I didn't want to tire him. But Matthew's response was comforting. He said, "If I want you, I have to understand that you have a responsibility to your mom. Now, I want the responsibility to not only be yours, but let me handle it."How could I not melt? Used to being hurt and suffering alone for years because I loved a man, I had forgotten how good it felt to be cared for and seen. I feel valuable again because of Matthew. He made me feel like a living individual again and worthy no matter what. Matthew doesn't judge my past. Matthew doesn't see what the potential future holds if he's with me. He only sees, how I am righ

  • The Divorce That Made Me Untouchable   Chapter 35 We Need Each Other

    CLAIREI wiped my tears with Matthew’s handkerchief. “I’m trying to work again so I can have my own money to move mom to another place. That’s why I can’t divorce Charles yet, I’m afraid he’ll use mom as a threat. I’m still trying to get back the rights he took from me during our marriage, and I have to do it slowly. So I can’t divorce him right now.”“So you’ve realized everything?”I nodded repeatedly. “I’m pretty sure Eva wasn’t just his friend on the day he brought her home. But I don’t want to think about that. I just want to focus on how to save mom first. Then I’ll save myself.”“By divorcing Charles?”Even though I was embarrassed to admit all this, I nodded. “Divorcing Charles is what I want. But carrying out that wish is something I have to think through carefully. I don’t want to lose mom, the only person who’s there for me right now.”It felt incredibly relieving after telling him all of this. It was different from what I’d expected—I’d thought I might feel more anxious.

  • The Divorce That Made Me Untouchable   Chapter 34 Take It or Leave It

    CLAIREMatthew never touches me without my permission. But that’s not the issue. It’s just an excuse so he doesn’t follow me to mom’s place. “Fine, if you don’t trust me, you can take this.” He handed me his phone. When I looked, I saw that a call to the emergency number was already set up.“You can press that number anytime if I act out of line.”I shook my head in disbelief. “You don’t have to do this. Besides, you know I’m just talking nonsense.”Still holding his phone in my hand, he put his coat back on me. “It’s fine. You can take my phone. I’ll drive you there.”If this is how it’s gonna be, there’s no way I’m going straight to mom’s place. At least first I’ll go get the car from the hotel, then head there. “Since you’re super annoying when you insist, just take me to the hotel,” I decided. Matthew’s face lit up like a flashlight, suddenly becoming very bright. “With pleasure.”And that’s how I ended up in Matthew’s car again.Just like before, there wasn’t much conversatio

  • The Divorce That Made Me Untouchable   Chapter 33 How He Saw Me

    CLAIRE"I have no idea. I never thought about it," I answered honestly. I was pulled inside by Mrs. Lizzy as she closed all the glass shutters. "Matthew might be too shy to say it. But he still has the same feelings for you, my dear, Claire."While she was busy setting up her desk, I pensively st

  • The Divorce That Made Me Untouchable   Chapter 32: The One You're Meant to Be With

    CLAIREEva stood up. She looked at me blankly for a few seconds. Then that fake smile reappeared. “Thank you, Claire. I really appreciate it. I’m just so happy you let Charles care about me.”Oh, forget about caring—even if they wanted to have sex in the car, on the way home, or once we got home, I

  • The Divorce That Made Me Untouchable   Chapter 31 Don’t Touch Her!

    CLAIREI know it might sound harsh, since Matthew was only trying to help. But I don’t have time to apologize right now. I can’t explain what I just saw.I grabbed my jacket and phone, slipped on a pair of hotel slippers, and rushed to see my mom as quickly as possible. No matter what, I didn’t wa

  • The Divorce That Made Me Untouchable   Chapter 30 The Part of Me That Can’t Let You Go

    CLAIRE“I’ve always been myself.” I looked away. I put my robe back on and left first. I wasn’t sure what was wrong right now. But I couldn’t handle seeing Matthew for much longer. That’s why I chose to leave first. “So if you’ve done it, then the fault lies with Charles.”His words made me stop
