Chapter 88: Chapter 90

Chapter 90 Does It Matter?

Claudia originally wanted to hide, but there was only one way, unless she returned to the private room.

“Mr. Lamont, what a surprise to see you here… Hahaha… What a coincidence,” Claudia said with a

forced smile, but deep down, she was cursing him.

She should have known that Everett’s appearance was never a good thing.

What does Edmond still not understand now?

Everett was deliberate!

Claudia also stopped hiding and decided to come clean.

“Mr. Lamont, please go ahead and tell me what’s on your mind.”

Seeing her terrible attitude, Edmond kept all his words to himself and felt an inexplicable surge of

anger.

“What do you think I would talk to you about?” Edmond’s smile faded, his voice low. “About Rosalie? Or

about you becoming Seraphina?”

Claudia’s lips moved slightly, “It’s better if it’s not Rosalie…”

“No,” Edmond calmly denied, neither hurried nor concerned.

“That was…”

“I just wanted to ask you one thing,” he approached her, his thin lips tightly curved upwards, melting the

eternal ice like breaking through ice, “Have you ever liked me in these years?”

He had always been wondering about one thing, whether Claudia had ever liked him or not.

Everett said that no one willingly stayed by another person’s side for so

many years.

And Claudia’s mother also said that she liked him…

“Is this important?” Claudia asked, as the smile in her eyes gradually faded away.

We have already divorced, so what’s the point of asking about it? Are you suggesting we should

remarry or something?

“I just want to know, that night, were you sincere?”

His voice carried a h oa rse and restrained tone.

Upon hearing these words; Claudia’s heart raced and her breathing became rapid.

“I didn’t say it before, it wasn’t me who drugged that day,” she quickly stepped back, and there were

stairs below. She stepped on empty space, and just as she was about to fall, Edmond grabbed her

hand, preventing her from falling.

After she stood firmly, she instinctively covered her stomach.

Edmond’s gaze drifted toward her abdomen.

Claudia quickly pretended to casually move her hand away, saying, “Thank you.”

“I knew it wasn’t you who drugged me, it was Mom.”

Claudia remained silent.

Actually, she had always felt like a mother-in-law, but she had never thought about it.

And this matter did not cause a significant impact, but it happened to give her an excuse to divorce,

which could both let him spare her and let herself give up.

My mother-in-law had good intentions, but she certainly never

imagined that she would make the decision to get divorced after this incident happened.

“The misunderstanding has been resolved,” Claudia waved her hand casually, as if she didn’t mind at

all.

Seeing her like this, Edmond’s heart sank.

She and Pedro, Horace could all laugh and talk, why not with herself…

Seeing that he was not speaking, Claudia explained as if she was afraid of him misunderstanding,

“Don’t worry, I was also a victim of the drugging incident. I didn’t mean to do that to you…”

Thinking about that night of her own initiative, Claudia didn’t want to recall it at all.

They all took the medicine, but that night she had an impression, she was too proactive.

And many actions were still performed by her on top…

At this point, Claudia felt somewhat hopeless.

In college, I often watched inappropriate movies with my dorm mates and boasted a lot, but to be

honest, she had absolutely no experience in that area… Little did I know that after taking the medicine,

she became like a tiger unleashed…

She lifted her eyelids and glanced at Edmond, hoping he wouldn’t mention the details.

However, things did not go as planned…

Edmond’s brow twitched. “If you didn’t have any feelings for me, then why were you so forward that

day?”

“I…,” Claudia said, feeling so embarrassed that she almost jumped up, “maybe… maybe I was more

sensitive to that medicine. I really don’t remember anything from that day. We have already divorced,

so let’s just forget about this, okay?”

Just once, I didn’t even care. What’s the big deal if you care!

“That time was because of the medicine, didn’t you ever follow your own heart…”

Edmond wanted to say something else, but Claudia immediately interrupted him, saying, “Stop! Ervin,

it’s all in the past, and besides, we’re divorced now, so whether you like it or not, it doesn’t matter

anymore…”

“Meaningful!” Edmond’s eyes flickered, wanting to say that we should remarry, but afraid of scaring her.

After thinking for a moment, he softly said, “Can I be your boyfriend?”

He married Claudia directly in the beginning, without going through the process of dating. Since he

decided to win her back, it would be better to start over.

Upon hearing the phrase “be your boyfriend,” Claudia was completely stunned.

What does this mean?

Just divorced, and already becoming her boyfriend?

On that day, I woke up carly in the morning and went for a jog in the park. The weather was cool and

refreshing. After my jog, I returned ≈ home and prepared a delicious breakfast for myself. Later in the

day, I met up with some friends and we went to watch a movie at the cinema. The movie was

entertaining and we had a great time laughing and enjoying ourselves. After the movie, we went to a

nearby café and had some coffee while chatting and catching up with each other. It was a memorable

day filled with fun and laughter.

Did he… want to treat her as… that kind of friend?

It is said that many couples, after divorcing, still maintain a connection and easily become friends with

benefits.

I didn’t expect Edmond to have such thoughts.

Claudia walked over to the nearest table and picked up someone else’s water cup. In the surprised

gaze of others, she splashed it all over Edmond.

“Scu mbag!”

Edmond did not hide, and a glimmer shimmered in his deep eyes.

Claudia’s chest heaved with anger.

They were divorced, yet he still wanted to have *** with her.

I asked her if she had ever been moved.

If she said yes, then she would be directly controlled by him, wouldn’t she have to take the initiative

every night in the future?

Pah!

Scu mbag!

Putting down the cup, Claudia smiled at the table of guests and said, “I’m sorry, ask him for

compensation, he has money.”

After saying that, he straightened his back and walked out with big

strides.

Shortly after she left, Everett also finished chatting with Horace and walked to the underground parking

lot.

Edmond sat in the car, waiting for him.

“What happened?” Everett asked excitedly, “Has everything been explained?”

“Made it clear,” Edmond said coldly, “She splashed a glass of water worth fifty thousand dollars on me.

“What happened… What did you say to her that made her so angry?”

“I said I wanted to be his boyfriend.”

Everett suddenly realized, “No wonder you couldn’t just say be her boyfriend.”

“What should I say then?” A rare confusion appeared in Edmond’s pitch-black eyes.

He had never pursued a girl before; in the past, it was always the girls who confessed their feelings to

him. He only had experience in rejecting or accepting, and never had the experience of confessing to

someone else.

The only time was when I proposed to Claudia.

Everett thought for a moment, “Just think about it, you guys just got divorced, you say you want to be

her boyfriend, how do you think she would feel?”

Edmond frowned.

“She definitely thought you were greasy.”

Edmond: “…”

་་

“Next time, you should say that you just want to be her ordinary male friend, not a boyfriend. Starting as

friends is more reliable, and this way you both have a process of getting to know each other.”

Edmond raised an eyebrow and said, “But I didn’t want to be just her ordinary friend, and we didn’t

need to get to know each other anymore.”

“Look at Pedro and Horace, who among them immediately said they would be her boyfriend?

Approaching someone you like as a friend is the most convenient and quickest way.”

After Everett finished speaking, Edmond remained silent, his expression thoughtful, as if considering

the feasibility of this method.

After leaving the tea house, Claudia went to the hospital.

She kept her pregnancy a secret, afraid of being seen by acquaintances. Every time, she could only

secretly go for prenatal check-ups.

After getting off the elevator, she walked toward the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics.

Not far away, Cicely also brought Abel to this floor.

Although Abel looks like her own son, she still wants to do a paternity test to be sure.

Arriving on this floor, Abel instinctively glanced in the direction of the Department of Gynecology and

Obstetrics.

The last time I met Claudia was here, she got angry because he stole that person’s divorce certificate.

Coincidentally, this time, he happened to see Claudia again.
