“And another thing, you’re still engaged to Lydia. Remember your place. Her tone sharpened. “You already crossed the line once. Are you planning to do it again?”

All of Sterling’s endless bragging couldn’t hold a candle to a single comeback from Claudia.

Sterling, who’d just felt annoyed by Jasper’s bold remark, immediately brightened up as soon as he felt his girlfriend’s support.

He looked over at Jasper, who seemed like he’d just taken a punch, and curved his lips. “Mr. Fenton, if you’d excuse us.”

Jasper froze in place, his legs too heavy to move.

Claudia was right. He could feel it–there was a different vibe between Claudia and Sterling this time. The way they interacted, even their little touches, felt so much more natural and comfortable than it had been at the birthday party.

He just didn’t want to admit it.

Claudia’s favor had shifted to another man.

He swallowed back the metallic taste of blood in his throat and forced down the sting in his

eyes.

He tried to act normal, forcing a smile as if to convince himself. “It’s alright. Claudia, you’re still young. It’s normal for your emotions to run high and sometimes get the better of you. I can wait for you to sort things out.”

He looked at her gently. “Did you get the hyacinths I sent you? How about I send every day from now on?”

Hyacinths?

There had never been any hyacinths in their house.

Claudia shot Sterling a look.

Sterling looked away, his gaze drifting casually to the corner of the wall.

you some

Claudia smiled and took Sterling’s hand, her tone light as she said, “I threw them away.”

Those simple words felt like the final straw that crushed Jasper completely.

“Why?”

“I don’t like hyacinths. You sent them because you know they mean I’m sorry‘, right? You’ve sent them so many times, you actually convinced yourself I liked them. Didn’t you realize? Every time you send them, it’s just another reminder that you hurt me. Jasper, what I need has never been your apologies. I just want to be treated right.”

She cut him off before he could say more. “And don’t send anything else. I hate them, not for how they look or what they mean, but simply because they’re from you.”

“There’s no place in our home for anything from a third party, Jasper. Clinging on to me like this is just pathetic.”

Her words came sharp and fast, each striking its mark.

Jasper had never witnessed just how ruthless Claudia could be when she was truly done with

someone.

His heart felt as if it had been torn open and hollowed out, and he could almost hear the wind howling through it.

Sterling squeezed Claudia’s hand tighter and led her right past the stunned man.

But after they’d walked a few steps, he stopped and turned. “Claudia isn’t pregnant.”

Jasper looked at him in surprise.

Sterling was calm. “Only a weak man would let his girlfriend get pregnant before marriage and then force her to have an abortion.

“I’m not telling you this to make you happy. I just want to warn you not to start any rumors. Claudia deserves nothing but respect.”

Fighting Jasper might have been one thing, but Sterling wouldn’t allow any gossip to harm Claudia’s reputation.

So he didn’t mind being the one to set things straight.

Their battles had never been about arguing. It was about winning Claudia over by treating her right.
