Stuck On You

Claire snorted. A fair competition? In Rita's eyes, Claire was never the recognized young mistress of the Jiang family. However, she was no longer the Claire she used to be. "I don't know what kind of fair competition Miss Rita means, as Chason is originally my husband." Maybe she had learned a lot from Chason after staying with him for a long time. No matter how anxious and worried she was, she must hide her panic when facing an opponent who was actually stronger than her.

At least, she had to be mentally stronger than her opponent.

As expected, Claire's reply made Rita obviously stunned. She already had little patience to continue spending time with Claire. She picked up her bag and said with some disdain, "let's wait and see."

Looking at the back of Rita who was walking away in high heels, Claire sat on the sofa. She was not as calm and composed as before, and her palms were sweating slightly. Yes, she couldn't find any reason to refute what Rita had just said, could she?

She just wanted to fight against this mistress with her last bit of pathetic self-esteem. No, at a certain moment, Claire even had an illusion, she and Rita who was the little mistress?

She believed that Chason loved her. She even believed that Chason would remember all his promises and be responsible for their marriage to the end. However, if he knew why Rita had left him, would he be hesitant?

Claire smiled bitterly. He was starting to sway, wasn't he? Otherwise, he would not ignore her birthday message. Even if it was because Gina was sick, what she saw was that he was celebrating his birthday with another woman in the hospital, wasn't it?

Gina didn't seem to be in poor health as Chason worried. She looked much better soon. Noticing that Gina seemed to be fine, Chason greeted the medical staff while she was asleep and rushed out to look for Claire.

He called Claire several times, but her phone was powered off. He was very anxious, and suddenly received a call from Frank. "Mr. Chason, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Wasn't the flowers in the villa fine when he went to see them a few days ago?

Frank hesitated for a while and said, "Mrs. Claire doesn't seem to be in a good mood." As a gardener, he shouldn't have meddled in the affairs of Chason and Claire, but this was also what Chason had specially told him. Of course, not only did Chason tell him, but all the servants in the Jiang family knew this. If there was something wrong with Mrs. Claire, they must report it to Mr. Chason.

Chason was stunned, "how do you know?"

"Mrs. Claire came to the villa not long ago. I called you at the first time, but your phone..." Frank said awkwardly.

Chason took a look at his phone and found that there were indeed several missed calls from Frank. "What's wrong with her?" His heart skipped a beat.

"I don't know exactly. Mrs. Claire was supposed to celebrate your birthday. She had prepared the room for several days and it had been decorated. Besides, she kept telling me not to tell you, so I didn't tell you in time."

It turned out that she had prepared a surprise for him before? But why didn't she tell him? Chason hung up the phone in a hurry and rushed to the villa.

The distance from the hospital to the villa was not very close. Even if Chason drove at the fastest speed to the destination, by the time he arrived at the villa, the sun had already set. In the evening, there were fewer people on the beach, much quieter than usual. He opened the door of the villa and found that Claire had left.

Looking at the unchanged room, he was a little surprised when he thought of the surprise Frank just said for him. Did Claire clean up this place without leaving any trace for him?

The next second, he did something almost crazy. He ran to the nearest trash can to the villa, trying to see the debris that Claire had thrown inside. As expected, the silk ribbon was stained with dust, and there were still small colorful lights and all kinds of broken balloon fragments All of these showed him that he missed the surprise that Claire prepared for him. And this was actually the first birthday she had celebrated with him.

Chason felt both happy and remorseful. He was happy that his beloved woman was so considerate, and he blamed himself for making things like this. Looking at these things that were destroyed by Claire in person, it was obvious how angry and disappointed she was. He had been absent-minded for half a day, but he still couldn't get through to Claire. This feeling was probably the most to drive someone crazy.

Where could she go?

Chason decided to look for her. S City was large, but she would only go to a few places. He was willing to look for her one by one. 'I'm sorry, Claire. It's all my fault.'

Claire turned off her phone as soon as she came out of the seaside villa. She didn't want to go back to the villa of the Jiang family at this moment. She had planned to go to the oil painting classroom to paint, but she thought that with her current mood, she might not be able to paint anything. 'Where am I going?'

"Come and have a look at Jersey's meeting!" Claire was wandering on the road when she saw the leaflets on the road. Jersey? That was her favorite rock singer. She didn't expect that she would have a meeting in the WK Bar.

However, she had almost never been to a bar. Even if she had been there once or two times, there was a reason. If she went there alone like now, Chason...

'Forget it. Why should I think about him?' She did what she wanted to do, so why should she had to care about him.

Today was a sad day. She had to vent her sadness regardless of anything. So Claire squeezed into the crowd, bought a ticket and a light stick, and rushed to the bar.

The bar was crowded with people. Claire temporarily forgot all the messy troubles and called Jersey's name with the crowd. ☐☐☐☐☐☐
