Chapter 292 Wren's eyes suddenly brightened, and he immediately turned to Clara with a glimmer of hope in his gaze. "Clara, are you concerned about me?" "No," Clara quickly denied. "I just don't want to owe you anything. Besides, you got sick because you were trying to save me. If anything happens because of that, I don't want to feel guilty." The light in Wren's eyes dimmed, and the hopefulness turned into a faint self- mockery.
As expected, she didn't care. What was he really hoping for? Did he expect that if he regretted his actions, Clara would forgive him? Or did he think if he did something for her, she would soften her heart for him? She wouldn't.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Clara he had shaped would never be swayed by such a thing. She wouldn't forgive anyone just because of this.
Even he himself couldn't forgive the things he had done. It was only right that Clara couldn't forgive him, either. But deep down, he still held onto a faint, misguided hope and expectation.
Wren forced a bitter smile. He looked at Clara and gently said, "Alright, I'll listen to you. When we get back, I'll have the doctor ccheck on me. But Clara, we're family. No matter what I do for you, you don't need to feel indebted." The word "family" hit Clara like a shock. For a moment, she felt dazed. She unconsciously grasped the end of her scarf, finding her emotions in turmoil.
She had once truly considered the Zachman family her own, treating Wren and Carlisle as the closest people to her. However, Wren had hurt her, and Carlisle had hurt her most beloved aunt.
Could they still be considered a family? Since Clara didn't respond, Wren sighed, thinking about all that had happened with the Zachman family recently "Clara, there's a lot I can't explain to you right now, but my feelings for you have never changed. I know you don't trustanymore, but it's alright. I can wait'll make you trustagain." Clara turned to look at him. "There's no need. Don't you understand, Wren? What you're doing now doesn't matter anymore. When I loved you, I wanted you to loveback. Now that I've let go, all I want is for you to let go, too." The color drained from Wren's face in an instant. His lips quivered, and his eyes reddened in a flash. Choking on his words, he said, "Clara you can't be this cruel. You're even taking away my right to dove you. This isn't fair to me."
Clara stared at the reflection in the car window. "Nothing in this world is truly fair.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPren, you're the one who pushedaway first," she said calmly, with a hint of cruelty. Wren's blood seemed to freeze in that instant. His face drained of color, yet he had no rebuttal.
"It was my fault. I can change," he pleaded. "Clara, you don't have to have th love me. Just don't stopfrom loving you. Even a criminal gets a chance at redemption. Am I really unforgivable in your eyes?" Clara silently told herself it wasn't that he was unforgivable. It was just that the pain she had endured once was enough.
She had finally managed to convince herself to let go of her feelings for him, and she couldn't allow herself to be moved again. "Wren, you're not a twisted person. I used to believe everything you did was from the heart. You were trying to forceto let go of my feelings for you."
