No Divorce? The Billionaire's Love Chase! novel Chapter 490

“Claudia!”

York’s emotions spiraled, and he cut her off. His red-rimmed eyes looked at her, completely shattered. His voice seemed to be caught in his throat, hoarse and painful to hear.

Claudia reached up and wiped away the tears that were continuously streaming from his eyes. “I admit, I can be dramatic and cause a lot of trouble. But even though you didn’t love me, you always bought me whatever I wanted. You put up with me even when I made you angry.”

She looked him in the eye. “When the Watkins family was in its darkest hour, you married me despite all the pressure. Whatever your calculations were, whatever your motives, you did solve my family’s crisis at the time.”

“York,” she said, “thank you for putting up with my temper back then, and for helping the Watkins family so much.”

You said I was being childish.

I cherished that sense of family.

Even though you didn’t love me.

Thank you for… back then.

...

York’s mind latched onto the finality in her words. He laughed, then he cried. As he cried, his body slowly sank to the ground, and he began to sob like a child.

Claudia stood over him, looking down at the completely broken man. “York, Darleen and I are like sisters. Your mother is like a mother to me. I truly cherish that bond.”

Feeling the arms around her slowly lose their strength, Claudia gently pushed him away.

York’s pale face was streaked with tears. His eyes were vacant, so red they looked as if they might bleed. He was slightly hunched over, looking so pained it seemed he could collapse at any second.

Claudia took the jacket from her shoulders and draped it over his. Then she turned and went back into the room.

York stood there in a daze, tears falling silently from his lifeless, ashen eyes. He remained there for a long time, completely lost. She didn’t love him anymore. She didn’t want him anymore. The person he was supposed to spend the rest of his life with, he had lost her. Completely and utterly.

“Pfft!”

A spray of blood erupted from his lips, staining the ground a brilliant red.
