Chapter 993

When Wilbur stepped out of the car, he was holding a shawl.

He walked straight over to Claire and handed her the fabric, which still carried the warmth of the car’s heater.

“The temperature dropped. Don’t catch a cold.”

Just as Claire reached out to take it, Felix suddenly grabbed her arm and snapped at Wilbur, “She has a husband. You don’t need to worry about whether she’s cold.”

Wilbur didn’t back down at Felix’s possessive display.

He tilted his head slightly, his gaze bypassing Felix’s tense shoulders to land accurately on Claire.

His usually casual, captivating eyes were now alarmingly deep.

He had always played by his own rules.

If the woman wasn’t Claire, he wouldn’t have cared about another man staking a claim.

But he had to consider Claire’s dignity, so he moved to retract the shawl.

Yet, the moment his hand moved, Claire reached out and yanked the fabric from his grasp.

Right in front of Felix, she wrapped it around her shoulders and shot back defensively, “You might not be cold, but I am! I need it!”

Felix’s face instantly turned livid.

Claire couldn’t care less about his dark expression. She shook off his grip and gave Wilbur a radiant smile. “Thanks for picking me up. I was freezing to death. Let’s get out of here before I turn into an icicle.”

Wilbur smiled faintly. “Alright.”

Just like that, right under Felix’s nose, Claire got into Wilbur’s car.

Long after the car drove away, the heavy gloom on Felix’s face refused to fade.

He had thought about stopping her.

But his mind was entirely consumed by Claire’s mocking expression and the words she had said.

She had said…

[You are so weird. I’m just treating you exactly how you treat me, and now you’re mad.]

How had he treated her in the past?

When she suffered an unexpected miscarriage, he had blamed her for Madeline’s sake.

When she spent six months fighting for a role, Madeline only had to say she wanted it, and he snatched it right out of Claire’s hands.

When she confronted him, he even replied with pure arrogance, “I told you a long time ago to stop doing this kind of public facing work. The Quigley family doesn’t need

pennies you earn.” ‘FindNovel.net

He actually saw the disappointment in her eyes back then. But he hadn’t said anything.

He genuinely couldn’t understand why she refused to enjoy her life as a pampered wife, insisting instead on playing a minor supporting role.

She had to act out intimate scenes with random actors.

She even got herself covered in bruises from doing her own stunts.

To him, all of these actions were just her asking for trouble.

Incidents like that seemed to be quite common.

Felix felt so frustrated he didn’t even want to think about it.

Up until now, he still believed Claire’s sudden change of heart and insistence on

divorce was because of the baby they lost.

Women always cared more about children than men did.

But it was just an uncontrollable accident.

Besides, he didn’t even know she was pregnant at the time.

He was devastated to lose the baby too.

But it had already happened. What was the point of pointing fingers?

If she really loved children, they could always have another one.

That thought made Felix’s mind pause for a second.

Honestly… he didn’t even like kids.

Since marrying Claire, he had never once considered having a child.

But if they shared a child, would it help fix the current state of their relationship?

Despite going to bed very late the night before, Claire woke up early the next morning.

She had something very important to handle today.
