Life went on after the marriage, but Clara could clearly feel a change in the neighbors' perception of her, especially after the exaggerated display Wilson did to announce their marriage.Maybe that was just the way people were. Clara planned to divorce Wilson after the baby was born and one year old. Maybe she would move to another place when Yanny got into middle school.Although a divorced woman with two kids would have a better reputation than an unmarried woman with two kids, she still found it ridiculous. Clara did not really care about what people thought of her, but she had to do something because of the reality of the situation.While Clara was thinking about what she could do for a living after her son's elementary school graduation, a black Maybach pulled up in front of her store.Soon, a woman in an elegant dress got out of the car. It was an elderly woman, probably in her sixties. She wore a coat over her dress, her hair tied up neatly, and her face with delicate makeu

Later that night, Wilson came to visit the Valor Residence. Serenity was surprised when the butler Elliot told her about Wilson's visit. "Wilson's here? But why?""Yes. He's here to meet Mr. Valor. And it seems he's had some wine. He reeks of alcohol," Elliot informed her.After pondering for a moment, Jackson told the butler, "Let him in." He then turned to Serenity, "I'm not sure what's with him coming here so late. I'll go and check on him.""Okay," Serenity answered with a nod. She was also curious about Wilson's sudden visit. Did something happen between him and Clara?Wilson came into the living residence with a bottle of wine in his hand. As Jackson came down the stairs, Wilson looked up and raised the bottle in his hand. "How about a drink with me?"Jackson arched a brow. "You came to my place to drink?""Yes. I want to have a drink with you. It's hard to find someone to drink with me here in Solaria. I can't think of anyone else, and you seem to be the only close one."

When Wilson woke up the next day, Serenity spoke to him. "I don't care what happens between you and Clara, but if you hurt Clara, I won't forgive you."Wilson looked at Serenity and said in an even tone, "That day will never come. If it does, I won't forgive myself either."Serenity fell silent at his reply.When Wilson was about to turn to leave, he abruptly stopped in his tracks. Before leaving, he asked, "Serenity, what made you stay with Jackson in the first place?""What?" Serenity flinched at the question."You were in the prison partly because of Jackson, but why did you end up with him?" Wilson asked.Not many knew about Jackson's involvement in Serenity's case. Wilson happened to find out by chance when he looked into Serenity's information after her crash into the sea.Serenity looked at Wilson and said in a steady voice, "Because I know no one else loves me more than him. If I miss him, I'll regret it for the rest of my life."A melancholy smile crossed Wilson's face

“It doesn’t matter now, even if it was love at first sight for you,” Clara said without emotion. “I just want to let you know that I fell in love with you from the beginning.”“It only means that your love is nothing more than that.” She finished and stepped aside to leave in the direction of the bus stop. Wilson pulled her. “I’ll take you home.”“It’s fine. I can go home by—.” “By taking the bus?” Wilson interrupted her. “It’s crowded at the bus stop. You’re pregnant now. Aren’t you afraid of your morning sickness when you squeeze into the bus? Since we’re husband and wife now, it’s only right for me to send you back.” “We’re only married for the sake of the child. Don’t go back on your word!” Clara exclaimed nervously. “Am I that kind of person in your eyes?” Wilson stared at her.Clara froze. He continued in a husky voice, “For you, our marriage is for the child’s sake, so you don’t consider me your husband. But, Clara, in my eyes, you’re my wife. My only wife.” Cla

“We have to visit the specialists in Solaria Maternity Hospital,” Clara said.“Solaria Maternity Hospital?” Wilson frowned. He had a hunch that the local clinic couldn’t handle Clara’s condition. “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with your health?” “The check-up procedure here is not suitable for me as I had a liver transplant.” Clara took out her phone and logged into the hospital’s registration system. However, she couldn’t get a slot as every specialist’s schedule was full for the week. She could only try to snatch a slot once the registration was open for the following week. Her expression darkened, and she decided to ask for help from Serenity to get a slot after pondering for a moment. She was about to call Serenity when she heard Wilson. “Wilson speaking. I want a consultation slot with a specialist in Solaria Maternity Hospital. Yes, today, preferably in the morning!” Clara looked up to see Wilson speaking into the phone. After hanging up the phone, he sai
