Chapter 17: Chapter 17

Chapter 17 You Don’t Wanna Divorce?

Edmond’s appearance shocked Claudia for some moment.

She didn’t expect that Edmond could get out of the hospital so fast. She had believed that he would

stay in hospital for longer days.

Edmond’s sight fell on Waldron’s hand which held hers. Without thinking, Claudia swayed away

Waldron’s hand.

Waldron caught clear sight of the rage in Edmond’s eyes. Waldron slowly curved the corner of his lips.

“Mr. Lamont, aren’t you sick? Why are you here?”

Edmond didn’t look at Waldron. Instead, Edmond paced quickly to Claudia and asked, “The doctor told

me that you didn’t finish your body check before you went out, did you?”

“Well, I’m fine.”

Claudia thought her heart more hurt than her health.

She felt surprised about Edmond’s appearance, wondering whether he was here to take her back to

the hospital for the body check.

However, Claudia’s answer didn’t get Edmond reassured.

“I’ll bring you back to the hospital. You must finish your body check today.”

Edmond’s voice was down and determined. It seemed that he would not allow anyone to deny him.

Claudia stayed silent for a while before speaking to Waldron, “I’ll go

back. May you take the things back? I’ll come to you next time.”

After thinking of something, she added, “Mr. Friedan’s gift is in the dressing room. Please give it to him.

Thanks.”

Edmond tightened his lips, his eyes narrowed.

“No wonder Rosalie said that Waldron is taking Claudia to visit his parents. They should be,” Edmond

thought.

It just happened that Edmond’s appearance disturbed it all. Claudia and Waldron didn’t have the time to

finish their plan.

Thinking that Claudia would truly marry Waldron, Edmond felt a headache.

In that instant, the air around Edmond froze. Waldron felt it and cast a casual look at Edmond.

Waldron thought, “Claudia listens to this man so much. Is it that she still loves him?

The man that h ooks up two women at the same time does not deserve her love at all.”

Waldron laughed and said ironically, “My family doctor is better than the doctor working in the hospital.

I’ll ask him over and give a body check for you.”

“Thank you, but no need.” Edmond walked over and held Claudia’s shoulder, saying, “It’s almost the

day. She needs rest. It’s your father’s birthday today. I already prepared a gift for him. My driver will

send it to you. But I have something to do so I can’t go this time. I’ll visit him the next time.”

“Let’s go.”

Claudia felt her shoulder burning in his hug.

“Wait.” Waldron didn’t let them go. “I need to give you the reply.”

Claudia knew what he meant. Waldron wanted to tell him something about Gilda.

Feeling the insulting eyes from all around, Claudia instantly said, “Just a trivial thing. No need to tell me

that.”

It was totally a personal grudge between her and Gilda, so she didn’t need any reply from the Friedan

family.

However, Waldron insisted on compensating her and didn’t let her go.

Claudia saw the sweat on Edmond’s forehead and knew that he could not stay here anymore.

He burdened the harm from the burned crystal lamp, so he must have hurt a lot.

“Waldron, I have to go back now.”

She nearly ran away.

Seeing it, Waldron didn’t insist.

After the result came out, everything would be settled down.

Now he didn’t have the qualification to leave her here.

If the result proved that Claudia was truly his sister, the first thing that Waldron would do was beat

Edmond up.

***

Claudia walked very fast, and so did Edmond.

After they walked out of the gate, they felt the noise and glory leaving

behind their head.

In the night breeze, Claudia and Edmond could only feel each other.

It was embarrassing.

Before Edmond said something, Claudia whispered, “Let’s go back to the hospital.”

This time, Edmond nodded and walked over. Seeing Edmond’s car beside the road, Claudia pulled

open the car door.

There was a person sitting at the back.

“Edmond…”

Claudia’s expression froze on her face.

“Why are you here?” Edmond didn’t expect Rosalie to be here.

“I’m worried about you,” Rosalie answered softly and gently.

Claudia smiled and closed the door as if she didn’t care about it at all. “I’ll go back by myself.”

“Ms. Lloyd, please come with us.” Rosalie invited Claudia.

“Don’t you feel embarrassed if we sit together?”

Rosalie didn’t expect Claudia to be so straightforward. An embarrassed smile froze on her face.

Claudia turned around.

Afraid that the two women would fight, Edmond didn’t force Claudia to get in the car.

Claudia walked to the side and saw that the car was gone. An ironic smile appeared on her lips.

Sure enough, only his first love counted.

At the moment Claudia showed the ironic smile, Edmond’s voice sounded from the side. “Why are you

laughing?”

Claudia turned her head in surprise. “You didn’t go?”

“I’m here to pick you up. Of course I should go with you.” Edmond looked in the direction that his car

left and squeezed his eyes.

The driver sent Rosalie away.

“You have the car. Why are you walking back on your own?” Claudia had mixed feelings. She said this

while looking around, only to find that the party was ongoing. There were few people around, and only

the bodyguards were patrolling.

It was a bit far from the gate, so they would spend a lot of time walking

out.

Perhaps the heavens were blessing her and helping her. Claudia saw an electrical motor bicycle under

the tree.

It was the urban shared bicycle.

“Can you ride that?” Claudia pointed at the bicycle.

Edmond squeezed his eyes. He had never ridden such bikes before, but it should be easy. Edmond

nodded.

“Alright. Let’s ride this.” Claudia walked over and turned on the bicycle, signaling Edmond to ride this.

With hesitation, Edmond walked over and took the bicycle.

Claudia felt lucky. It was a bicycle for two people. She sat on the back seat and tugged his shirt, voice

joyful. “Let’s go.”

One second. Two seconds.

Half a minute passed, and the bicycle still stayed paused.

“What?” Claudia widened her eyes and said, “Edmond, you can’t ride this?”

Edmond froze.

Well, he couldn’t.

The bike seemed small, but there were too many buttons.

Let it go. Leave it to me.”

Claudia drove him away and sat on the rider’s seat. Edmond had to sit in the back seat with his tall

figure.

“Hold it tight…”

With that, Claudia turned the handlebar and rushed out.

The wind blew her long hair and rubbed Edmond’s face.

Her hair swayed, and it touched his nose, making his eyes dimmed.

“Edmond.” Her voice came from the wind.

“Yes?”

Edmond’s soft sound mixed with the breeze, and the whole vibe became gentle.

“Shall we divorce tomorrow?”

Claudia thought he didn’t hear it so she repeated.

Edmond didn’t speak, his eyes cold.

Edmond thought, “I took away Claudia, but I can’t stop her from marrying Waldron?”

“Hey, Edmond. You don’t want to divorce, do you?”

Claudia didn’t get the answer, and she asked again.

“What if I say no?” Edmond asked.

Claudia suddenly didn’t hold the bike right, and the two nearly fell.

Claudia held the handlebar, and her heart beat fast.

She screamed inwardly, “Hey, stop beating! My heart!”

“No way.” Claudia gritted her teeth and reminded Edmond, also to remind herself. “You forgot what you

said at our wedding night?”

He had said, “I won’t love you. Apart from money and identity, I won’t give you anything.”

She had asked for his love for three years.

But just after his first love came back, he didn’t want to divorce? No way! She had been determined.

Chapter 18 Let Him Go

In the car, Rosalie watched the trees and traffic receded behind her. Tears welled up in her eyes.

“Edmond…”

Rosalie was left behind.

For some reason, ever since Waldron appeared, she felt that things were taking a strange turn.

Although the death of Claudia’s grandmother was a stimulus that prompted Claudia to withdraw,

Edmond had changed. He started to care for Claudia.

No, Rosalie couldn’t let things continue like this.

She made a phone call.

“Gilda, I told you to embarrass Claudia. Why does she appear to be so triumphant?”

There was a brief pause on the other end of the line, followed by a hint of anger in the voice. “What do

you mean? Why didn’t you tell me Claudia has a good relationship with Waldron? Do you know that

today, I almost made a fool of myself?”

“What happened…”

Gilda told Rosalie everything that happened today in detail.

It was Waldron again!

Rosalie was furious.
