“What exactly are you trying to do, Claudia?” I confronted her in a lowered voice.

Her smile widened happily.

“What am I trying to do? Of course… I’m trying to win you back.”

She leaned in close to me, her breath warm against my ear.

“Jayden, you were willing to change for me before.

“Now, I can change myself for you.”

Her words left everyone in the room speechless.

Who was Claudia Yates?

She was the legendary “Ice Queen”!

Cold, domineering, and untouchable.

    “What exactly are you trying to do, Claudia?” I confronted her in a lowered voice.Her smile widened happily.“What am I trying to do? Of course… I’m trying to win you back.”She leaned in close to me, her breath warm against my ear.“Jayden, you were willing to change for me before.“Now, I can change myself for you.”…Her words left everyone in the room speechless.Who was Claudia Yates?She was the legendary “Ice Queen”!Cold, domineering, and untouchable.Countless men had hit a wall trying to win her over.And now, she was saying she would pursue me, Jayden Clement?That was simply unbelievable.Everyone turned to look at me, waiting for my reaction.I felt nothing.If anything, it just seemed a little amusing.The pain of the past didn’t simply disappear.Even if she changed now, what difference would it make?“Claudia, you don’t have to do this. “It’s over between us.“Let the past stay in the past.”Claudia didn’t respond and just kept drinking.Before

    “I’ve also come to see many people and many things for who and what they really are.“At least, I’ve found myself again.”I looked at Claudia and enunciated every word slowly, “I’m doing just fine now.”Claudia didn’t believe me.“No! Jayden, you’re talking nonsense!“You don’t remember anything. How could you know if you’re doing well or not?“You’re just saying that out of anger!” She retorted emotionally while gripping my hand tightly.“You can’t give up treatment! You have to get your memories back!”The Ferris wheel descended slowly toward the ground.I gently, but firmly, pushed her hands away. “It’s exactly because I don’t remember that I see things more clearly.“What kind of life have I been living all these years?“I’m not going back to the past.”I looked at her calmly, without a single ripple in my eyes.Then I turned and walked away.Behind me, her sobs broke out like her heart had shattered.I didn’t look back.Later, Claudia and I went to the local co

    I’d treat this… as drawing a full stop to this absurd marriage.For the rest of the day, Claudia took me to all sorts of places.The cinema, restaurants, and the amusement park.We watched a movie together, had a meal, and even rode the Ferris wheel.It all felt like… a date.While we were on the Ferris wheel, Claudia gazed out at the view before suddenly speaking.“Jayden… do you remember?“This is exactly what our first date was like.”She turned and looked at me.“Do you remember… how it was back then?”Her eyes were filled with nostalgia and hope.I looked at her and answered honestly.“I don’t.”My memories had been hazy ever since that surgery.There were many things I couldn’t recall, including my first date with Claudia.She froze, clearly hadn’t expected that answer. “You don’t remember?“You’re still angry with me, aren’t you?”She thought I was doing this on purpose to upset her.Claudia’s eyes began to redden again.“Jayden, I know I was in the wrong be

    “Are you free next Saturday?“Let’s… meet up.“And iron out everything.”I agreed.Claudia said nothing more and turned to leave. Her departing figure looked somewhat lonely.I stood there for a moment, a little confused.Could it be… that she still has feelings for me?I shook my head.Impossible. If she truly had feelings for me, she wouldn’t have ignored me for seven years.Neither would she have chosen to stay in that abbey when I needed her the most.No matter what, the pain she’d caused me could never be undone.There was no turning back between us.I dwelled no further on it and turned to leave this so-called “home.”I headed straight to see my close friend, Isaac.The Spencers were involved in the investment. He had connections everywhere and access to plenty of resources. After hearing about my ordeal, he didn’t hesitate for a second to offer his support for me to start my own business.“You should’ve done this a long time ago, Jay!“Why let that woman ha

    Claudia’s voice carried weariness and a faint trace of anticipation.She thought that if she had just softened her stance a little, I would obediently come back to her.She thought I was still the Jayden Clement who would obey her every word.Unfortunately for her, she was wrong.Just then, the doorbell rang.I walked over to open the door. Standing outside was a sharply dressed real estate agent with a young couple behind him.“Hello, are you Mr. Clement?“I’m from West City Real Estate. You previously entrusted us with selling this property…”I nodded and stepped aside.“Come in.”Claudia’s face instantly paled.She whipped around and stared at me.“W-what… do you mean by this?!”Her voice was sharp and shrill, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.I met her gaze and said calmly, “Exactly what you see.“I’m selling the house.”Claudia staggered, nearly losing her balance.“Selling the house?!“H-have you lost your mind?!“This is our home! How could you sell i

    Claudia’s eyes widened, her lips trembled slightly, and her face alternated between pale and crimson. “You’re asking me for rent?”Her voice rose sharply, tinged with a sharp edge of disbelief.I shoved my hands into my pockets, looking completely unconcerned.“What else would I do?“Do you think I’m playing house with you?”She snapped her head up, her eyes bloodshot.“When did you find out?!”Her voice filled with fury and accusation, as if I’d committed some unspeakable crime.I chuckled softly, my tone dripping with sarcasm.“Does that even matter?“Why do you care when I found out?“Was I supposed to wait until you cheated on me, had a kid, and then had to do a DNA test to find out if it was mine?”Smack!The crisp sound of a slap echoed through the empty room.Claudia had put all her strength into that blow.My cheek burned instantly.Yet, I laughed.And laughed even harder.As soon as Gerald saw this, he immediately switched his act to one with a heartbroken
