Chapter 1204 Chemistry Between Them

On the river bank, Claire stared at her phone while hearing the beeps,taken aback. Feeling depressed, she didn't have the mood to callRowan back.

She headed back to Russell's Residence alone, wondering what sheshould do with Tristan. She only thought of him as a close, trustworthyfriend but had no intention of dating him.

Tristan asked her to consider his proposal but refused to listen to herresponse. It bothered Claire as she had never experienced such amatter before and didn't know how to deal with it.

Claire could tell how much Tristan liked her and was persistent with her,her heart heavy.

That night was a sleepless night for Claire because Rowan had hungup on her without speaking.

It was 11 P. M. After Saskia's incident and trying to convince Saskia fora whole day, Claire had been exhausted physically and mentally.Holding her phone, she gazed at Rowan's number wondering againwhy he had called her in the afternoon. However, he ended the callafter hearing Tristan's voice. Claire doubted if Rowan was angry.Meanwhile, Rowan's villa was lit brightly. Rowan had a shower butdidn't go to bed. Holding his phone, he stood before the window whilelooking at the bright moonlight in the sky.

He looked cold, aloof.

Earlier, he had a two-hour online training, which refreshed hisknowledge and firmed his foundation. That was what Rowan alwayslike. In his opinion, life was too short, so he must keep learning.However, whenever he was idle, he couldn't help thinking of Claire. Herecalled she had rejected Tristan, but why were they together again?Also, Rowan heard Tristan's love confession on the phone, feelingstressed.

Without hesitation, he picked up his phone and dialed Claire's numberimmediately despite the time.

Rowan failed to keep rational.

In the bedroom of Russells’ Residence, Claire heard her phone ringingin her hands when she plucked up her courage to call Rowan. She wasshocked so much that her heart hammered.

Seeing Rowan's caller ID, Claire immediately swiped to answer andcautiously clung her phone to her ear. "Hello."

"Are you sleeping?" Rowan asked gently.

"Not yet." Claire was chuffed, so she joked, "If I were sleeping, howwould I be supposed to answer your call?" Sitting on the bed edge, shecould feel her heart racing somehow.

"Ehn." Rowan didn't know what to talk to her. He was silent for a fewseconds, his mind blank. "How's your bestie doing," he asked after awhile.

Claire wondered if he called her like a doctor checking his patientwithout any special meaning.

"She's probably let go of her ex-boyfriend. I spent a whole dayconvincing her. She looked spirited when I left,” Claire answeredbluntly, "I've tried my best. By the way, she wants me to invite you todinner for expressing her gratitude.”

“That's just a lift of the finger. Please don't mention it." Rowan didn'ttake it to heart.

They quieted down again, feeling awkward.

When Claire was too embarrassed, Rowan asked, "Have you finishedupdating your novel?"

"I didn't write anything today. There are still saved drafts in the system.I plan to go on a trip for a few days."

"Will you take your laptop along?"

"Of course." Claire suddenly lacked topics to talk to him about. Shewanted to chat with him but failed to replace a proper way.

"Well, bedtime now. Good night, Claire,” Rowan was about to end thecall.

"OK. Good night.”

Claire exhaled gently in relief after hanging up. Shortly after, Rowansent her a private message on Facebook. She tabbed to read. [Night-night.] He sent it to her.

In Claire's opinion, the greeting was too intimate, so she seldom said itto others. However, curling her lips into a smile, she replied: [99.]
