Claire fell silent again, after which she said, "I could have forgiven you, but I can't go back to you, Sean."
Sean's face stiffened immediately and his body stiffened instantly after hearing Claire's words.
"Why?" sean asked after a moment of silence.
Claire stared boldly at Sean's eyeballs which exuded a cold aura. "I don't like being lied to. A relationship that begins with a lie and dishonesty will only end painfully later. From one lie will be covered with another lie and I don't want any more lies" Claire said.
"Sean, I've been talking to grandpa. He will not force us to maintain this relationship if there is no love in it. You don't have to worry about Grandpa anymore."
Sean's face turned cold. He looked at Claire with an illegible look. "Claire, I want to ask you one thing."
"What?" Claire stared directly at Sean's iris.
"When we go to island F. The togetherness we went through there, all your treatment and the words you said to me, was it just a charade to trick me and make me look like a fool or is it from the bottom of your heart?"
Claire's hazel eyes continued to move in all directions as she was stared fixedly at by Sean. "If I told you, I did it at the instigation of my heart, would you believe it?"
"believe. I'll believe you," replied Sean quickly, still staring into Hazel Claire's eyes, "if your answer is indeed that, then, I will stick to my stance. I don't want to part with you."
"Sean, why do you insist on maintaining this marriage? Wouldn't it be better if we...."
"If you still want to divorce me, please sue me. Just try my opponent in court if you can, but one thing you should know, you won't be able to win against me, Claire," Sean said with an arrogant face.
"Tell me, what's the reason you don't want to divorce me? Don't you love me?" claire asked with a brave face.
"Who did I say I didn't love you?" sean asked with a flat face and sharp eyes.
Claire is silent and can answer Sean's questions.
"You remember Wild's time at my office? At that time, I told him that I loved you. When we went to island F, I told you that I love you. The words of love that I once said to you, there are no lies in them. When I say I love you, it's true. When I do it with you, it's because what I want is you. When I said I didn't regret marrying you, I never regretted marrying you, I told you the truth. From the beginning we were married, you were the one who said you regretted marrying me, I never once said that. I loved you from the beginning. You're the one who never loved me" Sean said in a heavy voice.
"If you really loved me from the beginning, why did you refuse our marriage that day?"
"Because I don't want you to marry me for being forced to. I want you to marry me because you love me. I want our marriage to be based on love, not coercion."
Sean's answer was beyond my expectations, Claire. "But you seemed to hate me so much from the beginning. You've always been so cold to me and always hurt me with your words."
"That's because I'm mad at you. You don't seem to care about me. You're being indifferent to me and ignoring me. You kept saying you had to marry me and say you never loved me. It makes my heart hurt. I spoke without thinking anymore, all I had in my head was how you felt the pain as well, just as I felt, so from that, the words coming out of my mouth always hurt you," said Sean.
"From the beginning we met in A city, I've liked you, but not you. I helped you, but you died alone in the hotel without a word. When we met again at my house, you were indifferent to me and asked me to forget what happened in city A, as if our meeting time in city A didn't work for you. You don't feel the slightest guilt of having just disappeared, even though you've messed up my heart after our first meeting" Sean continued.
"I'm also angry that I can't get your heart when you're my wife. I'm angry to see you're okay without me, while you've messed up my life. I was angry when I found out you still loved your ex-boyfriend. I was getting angry and agitated when I heard that your ex-boyfriend wanted to come back to you, when he knew you were married. I'm frustrated because you can walk out of my life at any time without thinking about how sick I'm going to be."
Claire blinked her eyes a few times as she did not expect Sean to say that. "Seeing you ignore me more and more, I try to change my attitude, but every time, I want to say something to improve our relationship, it's another word that comes out of my mouth" Sean said.
Claire was still flabbergasted at Sean's heart's expression. He was speechless for a long time. He just fell silent with a surprised face.
"Sean, i...."
"Please give me one more chance. I may sound shameless, but I'll do whatever you ask as long as you want to come back to me."
Seeing Claire still speechless, Sean said again, "If you want to sue me, go ahead. As long as we're not officially divorced, I'll stay here. I'm still your husband, I deserve you. I'll try to melt your heart." Sean then kissed Claire on the forehead, "rest. I still have business. I'll be home in the afternoon. And from tonight, I'll sleep in this room with you."
Claire had not had time to react, Sean had already left her room. Just coming out of Claire's room, Sean sees his grandfather at the door. "Grandfather, how long are you gonna watch me? I'm not a kid anymore" Sean said with an annoyed face.
Grandpa Sean looked indifferent. "Grandfather just doesn't want it until you act stupid. I don't want to lose my daughter-in-law's granddaughter." Especially my precious little one.
Sean sighed with a resigned face. "Grandfather, I don't want to lose my wife either. Then, please help me persuade her."
Grandpa Sam snorted. "That's your fault. You have to try yourself. Don't involve grandfather. Grandpa won't help you anymore."
"All right, I'll try to do it myself. I'll see, I'll get my wife again."
Finished talking, Sean immediately walked away from his grandfather. After Sean is not seen again, Sam's grandfather enters Claire's room.
"Grandfather, let's sit down." Claire points Sam's grandfather at the sofa in her room.
Claire nodded. "Yes, Grandpa."
"So, you've decided to go back to her again, haven't you?"
"Yeah, Grandpa," Claire replied with a embarrassed face, "but I can't do what Grandpa asks."
"Why?"
"I don't have the heart with him, Grandpa. All this time, he had suffered as well. I feel sorry for him."
"Leave it. Give him a little lesson so he'll be more careful going forward. Grandpa wants to see how he struggles to get you back, so just tell him you can't take it yet."
Claire seemed to think back. Seeing Sean's disappointed face earlier, he felt unbearable to her.
"Let him be tormented for a while. She must indeed be taught a lesson in order not to ignore you anymore."
"Grandfather, my pregnancy problem, how? Shouldn't I tell him now?"
"Later, after you've been sure of him. In the meantime, let it go. Think of it as a gift when you get back to making up later. She'll be so happy to know you're pregnant with her child."

Nicko chuckled in annoyance when he saw Kenz standing near the airport's arrival door. "Where is he?" Nicko draped the suit over his shoulder as he approached Kenz.
"There's in the car, sir," Kenz replied politely. Kenz had just arrived in A city this morning after Sean called him last night to ask him to come to A city because Sean asked him to bring something for him.
"Fucking alexander!" as Nicko said, "instead of welcoming me here, he was waiting in the car like a king" Nicko grumbled with an annoyed face.
Kenz ignored Nicko's annoyance and pointed his hand forward. "Come, Mr. Nicko." Kenz allowed Nicko to walk first.
Nicko turned to Kenz with an annoyed face. "You and your boss are just as cold. Just piss me off." Nicko then walked towards the car park followed by Kenz from behind.
Just sitting in the back seat, Nicko had already vented his frustration at Sean. "Dear Lord Sean Alexander Louris, I came all the way here when you called you should have welcomed me. Not even waiting here. You think I'm your mom, you can call me!"
"Kenz, walk." Sean ignored Nicko with an indifferent face.
"Okay, Young Master."
"Hey, wait a minute! Where are we going? At least I should know where we're headed. You are, always as good as you are" Nicko grumbled as he removed his sunglasses.
"Get me a drink" Sean replied without looking at Kenz.
Hearing that, Nicko's annoyance doubled. He turned his body slightly to face Sean. "You told me to come all the way here just to accompany you for a drink? Are you out of your mind!" Nicko said in a high tone, "I canceled an important meeting today and flew right here when you called me because I thought something was going on with you. And it turns out you just want a drink?" nicko said with an annoyed face.
"I'll give you the H-town project."
Nicko's face immediately sparkled and a big smile was seen on his handsome face. "That's true. In this case, I didn't waste coming here." Nicko sat back down properly and leaned back his body casually.
Upon arrival at the bar of one of the famous hotels in the city of A, they immediately sat in front of a desk with a tent. "Tell me, this time, what else makes you this way?"
Nicko perfectly understood that if Sean called him there, there must be something going on with him.
"He won't come back to me" Sean said, shaking a glass filled with white wine.
Nicko sips his drink and turns to Sean. "If you love her, fight her. Change your cold and indifferent nature a little."
Sean returned to pour the drink after the drink in his glass ran out. "I don't know how to get him back to me. He has everything. There's nothing he doesn't have. Everything was on him. There's nothing he needs from me. The only way I could think of to hold her back was to get her pregnant immediately, but it turned out that my efforts had failed. Now, I don't know how to defend my household anymore."
Nicko sighed. "Whatever a woman is great, she will definitely still need a man to complete her life. Don't give up yet."
"But he can get any man he wants. There's Wild who loves him very much. There are so many men she could choose if she didn't come back to me."
Sean's face looked grim. Since marrying Claire, Nicko began to often see such a face. He did not expect that the woman he married because of an arranged marriage could ruin Sean's life.
