Stuck On You -
Chapter 69 I Can Not Leave Him
Claire was extremely depressed these days when she lost her child. Compared with being framed, this low mood was worse.
But what she knew better was that Chason was sadder than her. After all, in the eyes of the Jiang family including Jarred, she was not qualified to enter the Jiang family without the baby in her belly.
She didn't care about the position of being Mrs. Claire of the Jiang family, but she cared about Chason. If it was in the past, she would be very happy if she could leave the Jiang family and all these. But now it was different. For the first time, she understood the word "reluctant", which would leave people indifferent to other things.
"Claire." When Chason pushed the door in and saw that the little woman was staring up at the ceiling, she was always like that this time, staring alone.
Claire was startled and shook her head half a day before she said, "I'm fine."
"Come here." Chason took a bowl of white fungus soup and said, "this is what you like to drink, try it."
Claire squeezed out a smile and said, "okay."
Seeing that Claire tried her best to restrain her sadness, he felt even worse. The two of them didn't mention the child, but they knew each other very well.
Claire tried hard to drink the white fungus soup. Recently, she seemed to have lost her taste. No matter how much she liked to eat before, there was no taste in her mouth now.
"Mr. Chason." The Butler knocked on the door and came in, "the Jiang family called and invited you and Mrs. Claire to have dinner."
Chason waved his hand and said, "tell them that Mrs. Claire is still recuperating and won't go."
"Chason." Claire grabbed his sleeve and said, "I'm much better now. I'll go with you."
Chason looked at her in surprise. In the past, Claire wouldn't take part in any dinner party, but why did she take the initiative to go today? "Claire?"
She shook her head, she didn't know how many people in the entire S City were saying that she married Chason by virtue of her child, and how many people in the Jiang family were waiting to laugh at her when she lost her child this time.
For the sake of Chason and herself, she couldn't hide this time. Claire knew that she had to tell everyone that she was fine. "Chason, I..." She paused and lowered her head. "I just want people to know that you will still want me without this child." At this moment, Claire really felt an unprecedented sense of grievance, tears streaming down.
Chason's heart ached and he held her tightly in his arms. "You know clearly that I love you not because of this child."
"But I'm afraid." This was the first time that the two had talked about the child since then. Claire had never felt as insecure as she was now. Even if the person she loved was by her side and the two people were so close, she was still afraid.
She didn't know what she was afraid of. Chason was so good to her. However, deep in her heart, she couldn't forget that in the eyes of everyone, the reason why she was with Chason, who was standing on the top of the cloud, was just because of this child. It seemed that the bond between them at the beginning was broken. At this moment, she had a feeling that she would lose him.
Guilt flashed through Chason's eyes. He was not a person who was good at expressing his feelings, because he didn't notice it. Sometimes, he just treated her well, but didn't notice her deep feelings. Especially, Claire had just lost her child. "Okay, Claire. Let's go. I want to tell everyone that you are my only wife in my life."
Claire wiped her tears. She really didn't know what had happened to her recently. Perhaps it was because she had lost her child. She had always been careless, but recently, she had often thought too much. "Am I... Am I being overly sentimental??" She bit her lips to suppress the complex feelings in her heart.
"Don't think too much." Seeing Claire like this, he felt a pang in his heart. The woman he loved could be unscrupulous, but when did she become so cautious now? "Come on, let me help you put on your clothes."
Claire calmed down and put on a light makeup to cover her pale skin. Chason held her hand tightly all the way. The warmth from his palm made Claire feel a little relieved.
The two held hands as they used to do when they went to the Jiang family's old villa together. But this time, it was different. When everyone saw them coming over, they were still polite on the face, but there were people sympathizing and disdaining in their hearts. Losing a child was a big deal for ordinary people, and for the Jiang family, it was even more so. "Here you are, Chason!" Jarred stood up and welcomed them in.
Even though she was very sad, Claire still greeted him in a sweet voice, "Hello, grandpa. "
A trace of guilt flashed through Jarred's eyes. He was very satisfied with his granddaughter-in-law, except for her background. However, although he didn't kill Claire's child himself this time, he had such an idea and acquiesced in it. So now in the face of Claire who had just recovered from a serious illness, he felt very uncomfortable.
When Claire came in, she found that today's party in the old villa of the Jiang family was not just a party of the Jiang family. Except for the Jiang clan, several other clans that were good friends with the Jiang family had come. "Are you feeling better?" Alice walked over with cat steps.
Claire turned around and looked at her aunt. Although she knew that Alice had always looked down upon her background, she still smiled as if nothing had happened. "Thank you for your concern."
Alice was stunned. Seeing that there seemed to be no trace of sadness on Claire's face, she could not help but feel a little confused. She would never forget why Chason married Claire. Was Claire not afraid of losing this child?
A woman next to Alice also noticed this. Claire seldom attended parties in the rich circle before. She didn't know how jealous and envious people were of her behind her back in the past. The woman was Alice's sister-in-law. Although she was also a member of the rich and powerful circle in S City, she was a little narrow-minded. She said directly, "Mrs. Claire should pay attention to it. Women's abortion is a big deal. Many people don't pay enough attention and are infertile ever since. The Jiang family is in need of an heir. Mrs. Claire, don't be careless."
Although there were many people who said that in secret, there was still no one who dare
to expose the scars directly like this man with the presence of Chason. Everyone took a deep breath, only to see that Claire looked at Chason not far away, who was being surrounded and toasted. She smiled and said, "thank you for your concern. The doctor said I am in good health and should be able to have many more children for the Jiang family."
Claire said casually, but the others understood the significance of her words.
The woman felt humiliated. Seeing that Chason didn't come over, she became more presumptuous. "Even if you can have a baby, it's not sure whether you can give birth or not."
"As long as my wife wants to have a baby, she can afford it no matter how many babies she gives birth to." As soon as the woman finished her words, Chason came over from behind with a red wine glass and held Claire in his arms. "Why do you think that our Jiang family doesn't allow Claire to have a baby?" As he spoke, he looked around, with a stern look in his eyes.
Chason was tall, and Claire wore a pair of flat shoes today. She was just in front of his chest, so close that she could almost hear his steady heartbeat, which made Claire feel at ease. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, breaking all the previous rumors in a tacit way that Claire just had that child, she also had this man who loved her.
Gina, who was standing in the corner, witnessed the whole process, with a complex sneer at the corners of her mouth. What was happening in front of her was somewhat beyond her expectation.
"Mrs. Gina, it seems that Mr. Chason and Claire have a good relationship." Said one of Gina's maids.
Gina sneered. She didn't believe that her son would fall in love with a woman who had no advantages. She said in a low voice, "replace a way to send Mr. Chason away. I have something to talk to Claire."
'Claire, my son can't be destroyed by you.'
Chason was forcibly taken away by his business partners. The women who had just laughed at her all stopped talking. Claire shook the juice in her hand and found a place to sit down. The next second she looked up and saw Gina. "Mother?" "You probably don't remember. I have told you many times not to call me mother. You don't deserve it. "Gina took a sip of the porridge and said without raising her head.
This was indeed what Gina had said when she first met her. At that time, she swore that she would leave the Jiang family after the child was born. But now her relationship with Chason has changed. She also longed for a big family. Therefore, this time, she was closer to Gina, but Gina did not appreciate it at all.
Claire didn't want to have a conflict with the woman in front of her. After all, she was Chason's mother. When she stood up and was about to take a walk in another place, Gina stopped her. "Claire, do you remember the first time we met? What did you promise me?" Claire looked at her with her big eyes in confusion. What did Gina mean?
"Claire, you said that you would leave the Jiang family as soon as the baby was born." She took a sip of lemonade tea and continued, "now that the child is gone, but you take comfort in being his wife."
It turned out that she was referring to this. "At that time, I and Chason were just a contractual couple, but now we are in love. Mrs. Gina, please forgive me. I can't leave him."
Not far away, Chason was standing with his back to them. He heard every word they said. He felt warm in his heart and strode over. The woman he loved said they were in love.
"Chason." Gina's eyes flashed a trace of panic, but instantly returned to normal. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
