First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Once Divorced, We Are Strangers

Claire’s eyes suddenly widened.

Her heart was already in her throat, but she couldn’t panic.

"Caleb, what do you mean?"

Tears of grievance welled up instantly, and Claire cried like a pear blossom in the rain.

"Are you saying that behind your back, I bought off Ian, and even had Ian use Serena’s friends to threaten Serena to hand over her shares?"

Claire hoarsely questioned Caleb, while Caleb remained silent—

Which was tantamount to confirmation.

Claire’s hands clenched tightly, her sharp nails digging into the flesh of her palm.

Caleb is suspecting her...

Caleb is actually suspecting her?!

If it were the Caleb from high school, hearing others defame her like this behind her back, forget about questioning her, he would have made the gossip disappear from the school.

Caleb loved her that much.

Because she was his first love.

The true love he swore to protect for a lifetime.

Claire never doubted Caleb’s feelings for her, at least before graduating high school, she never doubted it.

That’s why she was confident enough to leave Caleb and go abroad.

She believed Caleb would miss her and give up everything to fly abroad and find her.

However...

Large tears rolled from Claire’s eyes, falling like beads off a broken string.

Who changed Caleb?

Was it Serena?

Claire didn’t believe it.

But at this moment, Caleb is here questioning her because of something Serena said.

"Caleb, am I that kind of person in your eyes? Am I such a sinister, deceitful, selfish, and despicable woman who plays tricks?"

Claire’s tears wouldn’t stop, her voice shaking.

"What is the relationship between us? When we were teenagers, we went through that dark period in juvenile detention together, you protected me, I protected you, from the budding of our youth to facing life and death together... Even when fate separated us, we met again because of the piano... Although we broke up later, I still came back, back to your side... Caleb, I have never changed, and you swore that you would never change... But now? Have you really not changed? You rather believe in the provocations of an outsider than trust in the understanding you have of me over the years, my character... You make me feel so heartbroken like this."

Claire spoke passionately, then covered her face and sobbed uncontrollably.

She was truly crying from the heart, in extreme sorrow.

It wasn’t an act.

Caleb couldn’t help thinking about Claire’s words.

Claire said Serena is an outsider.

But Serena is his wife; actually an insider.

Yet Serena is going to divorce him, so she can also be considered an outsider.

Caleb let out a heavy sigh.

"I’m sorry, Claire, it’s my fault."

In knowing Claire for so many years, this was the first time Caleb saw Claire cry so sadly.

In knowing Caleb for so many years, this was the first time Claire saw Caleb apologize so sincerely.

Claire wiped her tears with the back of her hand, sniffled, and said, "Mm, it’s good you trust me."

"Of course, I trust you."

Caleb pulled out a tissue to wipe Claire’s tears, and Claire finally broke into a smile.

"Wait for me after work tonight, you can order anything you want to eat."

"Is this compensation?" Claire playfully said, "Isn’t this too easy for you?"

Caleb laughed, "After dinner, whatever you want, I’ll buy it for you."

"That’s more like it." Claire’s tear-stained face finally returned to her usual sweet smile.

She didn’t stay in Caleb’s office for too long, tidied up her things, and turned to leave.

Behind her came Caleb’s gentle voice:

She wasn’t sure if Caleb would agree to her request. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
