CLAIRE

No doubt what Eva did caught everyone’s attention. In an instant, everyone—from customers to employees—looked over at us.

Perfect. Now we’re the center of attention without me having to lift a finger.

Why do I think this is a good thing? Because I can embarrass Eva without having to start it myself. I can teach her that if you dare to act, you must dare to take responsibility.

I looked at the checks scattered on the floor. I kicked aside the one covering my foot with my other shoe.

    CLAIRENo doubt what Eva did caught everyone’s attention. In an instant, everyone—from customers to employees—looked over at us. Perfect. Now we’re the center of attention without me having to lift a finger. Why do I think this is a good thing? Because I can embarrass Eva without having to start it myself. I can teach her that if you dare to act, you must dare to take responsibility.I looked at the checks scattered on the floor. I kicked aside the one covering my foot with my other shoe.“I could even buy everything in this boutique, including you!” Eva pointed a finger at my face.I just smiled sweetly as I stepped on the check near me. “I thought you’d throw money at me. No cash, huh? Well, guess the rumors about Charles going bankrupt are true.”“What? I’ve never heard those rumors. Don’t talk nonsense! Just tell me your price!” Eva’s voice grew louder as her anger flared up. She picked up all the checks and clenched them into a fist. She then stood up again and tapped them aga

  • The Divorce That Made Me Untouchable   Chapter 40 The Woman Who Dares to Disturb

    CLAIREHonestly, I couldn't stop smiling ever since I got out of Matthew's car. Whether it was because I was desperately craving affection or simply because he was so sweet, those words kept echoing in my head. It was like a broken record that kept playing—unable to be stopped, yet too precious to throw away. I felt seen and valued for who I truly am. I didn’t have to be someone else to earn love. And nothing felt more relieving than that.I think Matthew is the cure I’ve been searching for—and he’s meant for me. The only question is how I’ll keep him from turning into poison down the road.Oh, the feeling…“The styles in this album do not suit me. I want a custom design made for my maternity photos.”My steps halted on the last stair when I heard that voice. My eyes fell on the woman currently standing at the door of the VVIP room. Her voice boomed, unlike when she was at home.She is the woman who is so precious to Charles right now, Eva.Oh God, what else does that woman want to

  • 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 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

  • 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

    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
