After Divorce, My General Husband Chasing Me Back novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118 Dream On! 

Frederick foll a surge of agitation as he watched Claire cry, a feeling that surprised even him as a wave of tenderness rose within him. 

“Stop!” 

His sudden command made Claire’s sobs abruptly cease. 

She had never seen this side of Frederick before, but it only took a moment for her tears to flow even more fiercely. 

“Waaah… Ahhh…” 

At first, it was a small act of defiance against the pressure Frederick had exerted over her for so long. But Claire didn’t expect that it would turn into an uncontrollable flood of tears. 

It was as if all the years of pain and suffering she had endured since her imprisonment found an outlet in this moment. 

“Claire! If you cry again, I swear…” 

Frederick was taken aback by the volume and depth of Claire’s 

sorrow. 

The pain radiating from her seemed to seep into his very being, hitting him like a heavy stone dropped in his chest. 

“Ahhh… Waaaah…”

Seeing her stop crying, Frederick smirked with satisfaction. 

“Try crying again!” 

He pulled away from her lips, his expression suggesting that if she dared to shed another tear, he would kiss her senselessly. 

Claire was left speechless. 

With that look in his eyes, Claire halted her sobs. The torrent of sadness that had just overwhelmed her seemed to dissipate under Frederick’s domineering presence. 

The atmosphere in the room shifted to something awkward yet charged with an unspoken warmth. 

Frederick and Claire stared at each other, momentarily frozen in 

time.

After what felt like an eternity, Frederick’s phone rang, breaking the spell. 

It was Caroline calling. 

“Frederick! I heard from Diana that you got shot today! Are you okay?” Caroline sounded genuinely concerned. 

“I’m fine.” 

Although her tone was filled with care, Frederick felt an inexplicable irritation rise within him. 

In the past, he would have appreciated Caroline’s concern; today, however, it grated on him. 

“Where are you now? Are you at the hospital? I’ll come see you!” Caroline insisted anxiously. 

Frederick frowned. “No need. I’m not hurt. Claire took a bullet
