All Chapters of The Divorce That Made Me Untouchable: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

CLAIREBefore Matthew could say anything, I spoke first. “Charlie’s right. Go home, Matt. I’m fine now.”Matthew looked back and forth between Charles and me. Then he smiled at me. “About what I offered you earlier, I hope you’ll give it some thought, Claire.” Those were the last words Matthew spoke before finally stepping out of the room.What he said clearly raised big questions in Charles and Eva’s minds. Now the two of them looked at each other after Matthew closed the door.And this is where the real struggle began. Because I had to restrain myself from teaching them both a lesson.Eva, especially that woman—I hate how she makes that sly expression. As for Charles, I didn’t think he was actually that stupid to follow all her orders. Just say it—if Eva hadn’t told him, I’m sure Charles wouldn’t have come back here either. It clearly shows just how much influence Eva has over his life. And that influence didn’t come about overnight. In other words, their intimacy has been going o

CLAIRE"Shut up, bitch! I know you just wanna spread your negativity. And if you don't let go of me right now, I'm gonna scream for Charles!"I could only laugh and then let go of her. I made sure to shake my hands as if I'd just touched something dirty. “Let’s wait and see. You’ll understand what I mean.”Eva rubbed her wrist, which was perfectly fine. “I’m gonna talk to Charles about you!”“Without any proof? You can kiss your fantasy goodbye if he ever believes you.”And that sly woman suddenly scratched her own hand until it bled. She then smiled wickedly. Unfortunately, right after that, the door opened from the outside—it was Charles. And of course, Charles’s gaze went straight to Eva, who was indeed whimpering in pain. “Chaz, I know my presence in this house might be disturbing you guys. But honestly, what Claire did to me was way over the line.” Eva said with teary eyes. Oh, she’s such a great actress. And Charles, foolishly, always believes her. Charles rushed over to Eva

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

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

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 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
