Genius Son Sells his Mom to Dad

Chapter 29 I Did Not Marry You Willingly

Claire tries to escape, but she is held in by Leo’s hands.

And Leo forces her to look at him.

Claire instinctively struggles with the compulsion of Leo.

But he doesn’t go too far, just grabs her waist.

For Claire, such a touch is terrifying.

She is scared and struggling to dodge.

At that moment, a phone call breaks the tense atmosphere.

Claire’s cell phone is ringing! Claire picks up the phone in a hurry, but when she sees the name on the caller ID, she is stunned and froze.

Leo is surprised by Claire’s reaction.

Just when he is wondering, Claire comes back to her mind, grabs the phone and answers the call.

Without many words on the phone, Claire hangs up after a few simple responses and then she says to Leo, “I want to get out!” “Why?” Leo squints and asks, he doesn’t see who the caller was, but his gut tells him it is unusual.

Claire doesn’t explain much, but simply says, “A friend asked me out for dinner.” Leo doesn’t show his distrust and says, “Then tell me where you are going to and I will send you there.” When she hears this, Claire jumps into a panic and says, “No, no, you go home first.

I will be right back after dinner.” After that, Claire jumps out of the car, turns to a taxi and leaves.

Leo stares at the back of Claire, thinking of what has just happened to her, and immediately orders the driver to catch up with Claire’s taxi.

...

Even if it is not midsummer time, but the temperature of this city is still high.

And the dazzling sun shines on Bryce’s face, but he seems not aware of it.

At the moment, he doesn’t think about anything, and could not take care of anything else, but waits quietly and anxiously for Claire’s arrival.

Bryce lowers his head and looks at the photo in his hand.

It is Claire and Bryce who smile very happy in the picture.

The waiter has come several times to ask Bryce what he wants, but he just shakes his head and has no time to worry about anything else, just trying to recall the past.

This is a coffee shop called “Carving Time”.

The decoration is not gorgeous from the outside, but the sign at the door broke into the eyes of Bryce, who chose to meet Claire here because of the advertisement in the cafe.

Only to see a piece of board on the door.

There is a piece of white paper, above which written a few lines of words: Are you stuck in a memory.

Do you want to give up something but can not bear it? Are you in the middle of fog? Taste this coffee called “memory”.

It will let you remember that there was once a person who gives you anything for no return! “Claire, I hope this glass of ‘memory’ will remind you of the time we spent together.” Bryce sighs and says to himself.

He glances at the fancy watch on his wrist and thinks Claire is almost arriving.

As soon as Claire gets out of the cab, she meets Bryce and doesn’t expect him to wait for her at the door of cafe, instead of inside the cafe.

They walk side by side into the cafe.

Claire raises her head and looks quietly at Bryce, a very handsome and gentle man, who has handsome eyebrows, deep eyes, clean hair and fine bangs.

Today, Bryce is wearing a navy blue suit, tall and straight, looking very energetic, which makes Claire, who has not seen him for so long, amazed.

Seeing Claire’s reaction, Bryce laughs.

He is here to meet her, and especially he had been preparing this very expensive suit, and he wants Claire to see her new look at this moment.

Bryce is Claire’s confidante and they have been friends since childhood.

However, he has not contacted her since he went abroad.

How does he know her phone number? That makes Claire wonder! As if he has seen what Claire is thinking, Bryce laughs and says, “It is Brynn who tells me your phone number, so I tries and asks you out.” Brynn...

All right! Claire nods, and Bryce takes a deep breath, orders a cup of coffee called ‘memory’ to her, “Claire, I heard that you are married?” Now that Brynn has given her the phone number to Bryce, the other things should have been told to Bryce, too.

Claire is not surprised by what he said and she nods instinctively.

Then suddenly she remembers something.

When she was a child, she made an appointment with Bryce.

When they grow up, they will get married, have their own children and grow old together.

Then she looks up at Bryce’s sad eyes.

Bryce’s voice is low and sad.

“That’s impossible...Claire, we agreed to be together.

How can you get married? Is it because I haven’t contacted you? It’s all my fault.

It’s all my fault...” A persistent apology from Bryce makes Claire feel even more embarrassed.

“Bryce, listen to me.

It is not your fault.

It is my choice.

It really has nothing to do with you.

But now that I am married.

I am sorry that I cannot witness our agreement with you!” Claire apologizes with a sense of guilt. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

She and Bryce were not couples, but they agreed to be together once.

However, Bryce is painful to cover his ears with his head down.

He doesn’t want to listen.

Claire sighs and doesn’t know how to explain.

But, just then, Bryce suddenly raises his head.

As if he has thought of something, he holds Claire’s hand.

“You tell me, are you being forced by your step-mother? As long as you say yes, I don’t care, I do not mind!”
