Three years of loving him, three days to erase myself from his world novel Chapter 104

But the bitter taste of rejection lingered in his chest.

He knew she was just in a fit of anger, giving him the cold shoulder and refusing to speak or spend time with him...

But what was he feeling? Disbelief?

The latter emotion completely overshadowed everything else, far more intense than anything he had felt before!

It was impossible to ignore!

With a heavy expression, Julian returned to his study. Staring out at the desolate night sky, he lit a cigarette...

For the first time, he found himself genuinely analyzing his relationship with Clara.

Honestly speaking, he had only started using her as a shield to protect his relationship with Seraphina.

Because of that, he had spent most of their time together being dismissive and indifferent...

But gradually, his feelings toward her seemed to have shifted drastically...

He told himself it was just guilt.

After all, he wasn't made of stone.

Over the past three years, she really had taken excellent care of him, bending to his every whim...

He actually enjoyed it.

He had grown used to it.

So, being suddenly shut out naturally felt uncomfortable.

Yes, he just wasn't used to it...

Julian convinced himself of this, pinning all his frustration on a disruption of routine.

Taking another drag of his cigarette, he decided he would coax her properly tomorrow. If it took a little extra effort to get her to stop giving him the silent treatment, so be it...

...

But what he failed to realize was that if it were truly just a matter of routine, he could have simply hired a maid to wait on him as submissively as the old Clara had!

...

The next morning, the sky was just beginning to lighten.

After finishing his morning run, Julian checked the time.

Seven o'clock.

It was about time for Clara to wake up.

Holding a single white rose he had bought at the florist, he headed upstairs to her bedroom.

Everyone said women loved receiving flowers.

Clara was no exception.

In the past, whenever he bought her flowers, she would be ecstatic for days, even drying them out to preserve them...

So surely, she would be happy this time too...
