Chapter 42: Kissed her

Claire’s face remained unchanged, she nodded slightly and said "Please rest assured, I will do my best."

Hearing Claire’s boldness, Louis let out a heavy breath and said, "Since Mr. Powell is so enlightened, I won’t persuade you anymore"

He paused, then turned his head to look at Claire, and said earnestly.

"Director Smith, with Mr. Powell’s illness, you must do your best, absolutely nothing should happen!"

After sending Nevill away, Claire realized that there was no one in the medical hall.

"Mr. Powell keeps a low profile of his whereabouts, so I closed the clinic early."

As if seeing Claire’s questioning gaze, Louis explained aloud. Hearing this, Claire understood in her heart, showed a smile, and said "Secretary Louis has a heart." Louis smiled back raised his wrist to look at the time, and suggested .It wasn’t until Sunset that they left the restaurant.

Then escorted by Louis Claire returned to Miller’s villa. As soon as she entered the door, she was meet with Alex’s eyes as he held the remote control up high and asked in a light tone, "Why are you back so early today? Did you finish everything at the clinic?"

"I heard that you received a distinguished guest today. It seems to have gone smoothly?" he continued.

"yes everything went on smoothly, the received distinguish quest today is the reason why am home this early". she replied

For some reason she let out a sigh and the face of that devilishly charming man came to mind. Alex was an extremely charismatic man, of that she had no doubt. But women easily fall for him especially her half sister who seems to be interested in any man that she’s with, this made Claire feel sick of him.

Although she had a good impression on Alex, she felt that she was not as interested in him as Anna is. Growing up in the James family with her grandmother, she had always been introverted and not interested in competing with others. But now the relationship between the Smith sisters now was not good, and Claire had become accustomed to it and didn’t bother to intervene.

But Alex was her nominal husband, and she couldn’t just ignore him. Instead of fighting like this, it would be better to let go and sever ties with him, She avoided his gaze, looking at her indifferent and distant eyes, Alex felt a hint of strangeness in his heart and said calmly, "I was just about to pick you up"

At his words, Claire was surprised and looked up at him. When she met his scrutinizing and concerned eyes, her heart tightened.

"Recently, I haven’t been that busy, so..., You don’t have to trouble yourself" She calmly refused.

"What do you mean?" Alex frowned and asked."The literal meaning," she explained lightly, looking down, I’ve been too busy lately and I can’t spare any time to deal with your emotional entanglements."

"Why don’t we just call off the marriage then, since it’s just a contractual marriage?" Alex suggested.

"I’m still here at the clinic, so you don’t have to worry about me running away. I’ll pay you back every penny you’re owed, with interest," Claire replied.

"You.." Alex was speechless.

She continued, "Since neither of us likes each other that much, it’s better to end it sooner rather than later, it will be better for both of us.""This is ridiculous, Alex growled".

"Whether or not it’s ridiculous, you should know," Claire spoke frankly, "I can’t maintain this marriage any longer. If it can’t last, it’s better to end it early and save us both the trouble."

"That way, it won’t delay you from meeting someone more suitable," she added. Alex took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. He walked slowly towards Claire and pulled her into his arms, kissing her fiercely and dominantly. Their lips intertwined, ambiguously. Claire stiffened, her heart pounding as if it was about to burst out of her chest.

After a long time, Alex let her go and rested his forehead against hers, his nose brushing against hers. Their breaths intertwined, the heat between them almost unbearable.

"I’m sorry, I can’t accept your proposal," Alex said in a low, hoarse Voice.

Why?" Claire gritted her teeth, suppressing the trembling in her heart, and asked.

"And l also nave the right to choose the person who suits me.As she spoke, Alex’s face instantly became gloomy and ugly. He stared at Claire and said coldly, "What if I say no?"

Claire frowned and said mercilessly, "I have someone like!"

Alex pinched her chin forced her to look at him, his eyes revealing a dangerous light. "Claire, you are my wife, and you can’t marry anyone else in this life except me."

"You." Claire widened her eyes.

"You can try, whether it’s in City A or the whole world, to see if you can escape from my palm."Alex’s voice was low and cold,

Why? Because she was the only one who had accompanied him unknowingly through the most difficult times when he lost hope and felt hopeless.

"Claire, there’s no need for a reason. l just don’t want to lose you," he said reaching out to embrace her petite body, his warm breath blowing in her ear. "You said I was threatening and forcing you, but I’ve changed."

"What exactly made you think that way?" he asked, holding her face in his hands and caressing her delicate cheeks with his fingertips.

"Claire, I don’t believe you don’t have feelings for me.

"Claire’s heart raced, and she avoided his gaze, afraid to meet his deep and burning eyes, I’m tired and want to rest," Claire evaded, pushing Alex away.

She wanted to escape, to leave this city, to disappear forever, to leave his world completely. But Alex firmly grapped her slender wrist and pressed it against the wall. He lowered his head, leaned in close to her, and his warm lips touched her ear, his breath hot. "Claire, try to accept me," he said in a husky and magnetic voice, full of temptation.

And after saying this, he turned and went upstairs. Then, with a bang, he slammed the door of the study. Claire’s heart trembled violently, clearly feeling his anger. She pursed her lips, her heart full of bitterness. She had to admit that she really couldn’t forget this feeling, not could she forget what had happened before.
