"It's nothing, I accidentally spilled hot tea water, don't worry," Clarice said with a smile, pretending to be fine, but Edward knew that she was clearly in pain."You're clearly in pain, Clarice. Why do you say not to worry?" Edward's eyes were filled with concern, and without saying a word, he walked towards her, picked her up, and carried her towards the exit.At that moment, Gretta also came out of the corridor, seeing the situation, she immediately called out."Edward, where are you going?""Mother, Clarice is not well; she spilled hot water on herself, so I'm taking her to the hospital to get it checked out." Edward replied without turning his head back, and Gretta realized that Clarice's burn was probably worse than she thought, so she turned to Bento and asked."I told you to apply the ointment to her, why is he going to the hospital?" After she spoke, Bento lowered his head and answered carefully."Madam, I did as you instructed, but Mrs. Savas is severely burned, and there a

—Don't worry; since your father is here, let's welcome him. —Edward smiled and patted her shoulder to comfort her. —Bring him to the side corridor; we'll welcome him there. —Then, he looked at the servant and said, "Yes, sir!" The servant replied and headed towards the mansion's entrance. Edward, standing next to Clarice, prepared to meet his father-in-law, but she stopped him."Edward, I will see him personally; you don't need to accompany me there.""What's wrong? Are you afraid he'll be dissatisfied with his son-in-law?" Edward said in a playful tone, but Clarice just remained silent, looking at the ground. She wasn't afraid of him disliking her husband, but she knew very well what kind of person her father was. Previously, when she was with Nicholas, he always asked him for money, and now that she had become Edward's wife, she feared her father might do the same. Instead, she might as well explain things to him and halt his thoughts.Seeing Clarice lowering her head and not saying

"Sogro, don't worry. Clarice is already my wife, so I will take her place and show you my filial piety." Edward smiled respectfully, but within that smile was a hint of coldness. Robert took the check and left happily, and Edward then looked towards the main entrance. The smile on his face had completely disappeared, leaving behind a cold smile. When he returned to the side corridor, Clarice was nowhere to be found. He asked the servant and found out that she had returned to the room.He went up the stairs and arrived at the door of the room. He raised his hand and was about to open the door to enter when he heard quiet sobbing sounds from inside, making him pause for half a second before finally releasing his hand. He turned around, and as he was heading to the office, he saw Beatrice coming with a tray, heading towards the room."Mr. Murray, you're here." Beatrice stopped when she saw Edward, and he looked at the tray in her hands and asked, "What is this?""Oh, this is a nutrient-r

"Friend!" A cold voice suddenly came from the front, and upon receiving Alice's words, Nicholas's gaze shifted away from Clarice."So, you're a friend of Mr. Murray." When the middle-aged man heard this, he smiled and asked Alice, "Are you both going to eat?""Yes." Alice replied brightly."Since you're a friend of Mr. Murray, then you should be our friend too. Since we've met by fate, why don't we go together?" While the middle-aged man spoke, his eyes swept over Clarice a few times. "Mr. Murray, what do you think?""No need, we won't disturb your meal." Clarice had already recovered from the shock now and didn't even think of refusing.As soon as the elevator reached the entrance of the cafeteria and the door opened, Clarice immediately pulled Alice out of the elevator and entered the cafeteria. After the waiter at the door checked the information, he led the two to the table they had reserved earlier. After ordering the food, Alice looked at Clarice suspiciously."Clari, what's wro

The sound of the lock being opened from outside could be heard, and Nicholas' figure entered from outside. He didn't turn on the lights and borrowed the light from outside to walk towards Clarice."You can go now," he said, but no emotion could be heard in his voice, and his tone was icy."Nicholas, let's explain everything clearly." Clarice raised her head, looking at the blurred face in the darkness. He didn't say anything and just stood in front of her in silence, looking at her extremely conflicted face."You helped me in my most difficult times, so I am very grateful to you. But now that you are already married to someone else, and I have also married someone else, can you forget the past and just pretend that nothing happened between us? Only by erasing the past can we move forward. Since I decided to marry Edward, I no longer expected that there could be another possibility between us. Since I was going to break the bond, I would break it completely.""Do you want to draw such
