Chapter 2291 Very Kind
Kira felt a kinship with Clayton because of their similar circumstances.
She dragged her crippled leg and followed Clayton.
Kira had no other choice because she could not be a model anymore. She did not have a degree either because she dropped out of high school to become a model.
In the beginning, she had a great career, but she gradually lost the limelight.
She relied on her so-called “editorial face” which was popular internationally. However, her looks were not sought after in
Mediania because the audience did not like such looks. Moreover, Kira worked with brands that were hostile toward
Mediania back then, so she did not have many Medianian fans. Thus, she had no reputation in Mediania.
There were plenty of people waiting to replace her in the fashion industry.
Staying in the fashion industry was a dead end.
Clayton had just undergone facial reconstruction surgery at that time, so he looked unnatural.
His face was cold as he told her not to follow him.
Kira did not listen and followed him pitifully.
Clayton got someone to make a prosthesis for Kira because he pitied her.
In the end, when Kira was discharged from the hospital, she said that she wanted to go back to Mediania.
Clayton glanced at her, said nothing, and returned to Mediania with her.
Kira could vaguely feel that Clayton was not as lonely as he appeared on the surface. Some part of his heart was sealed shut, and no one could step in.
When Clayton opened the “S” French restaurant, Kira asked him what the “S” meant.
Clayton said it was his wife’s name. Kira’s yearning heart instantly cooled.
It turned out that Clayton had a wife and a family.
They were both disabled, so Kira understood Clayton’s inferiority complex and embarrassment. Thus, she thought that Clayton’s wife, who was somewhere far away, was not her opponent.
How could Clayton and his wife have a future together if she minded his disability?
However, it was not until Nicole came for the first time that Kira saw the calm Clayton losing his composure.
Clayton was nervous, flustered, and embarrassed, but he could not hide his excitement and joy.
For the first time, Kira saw other expressions on his indifferent and stern face.
It was a pity that he could only watch from a distance as the regal and beautiful Nicole ate with other people while Clayton was a spectator.
Kira discovered this secret, so she paid extra attention to it. Clayton did not shy away from giving Nicole all the privileges he could as a customer.
However, he still hid from her. Sometimes, Kira did not know whether to envy or sympathize with Nicole.
As soon as Kira left the kitchen, Clayton was silent for a few seconds.
He was digesting the complicated emotions in his heart before he picked up the order and prepared the ingredients.
The meal was ready in less than half an hour.
Hamilton saw an unfamiliar man coming out of the kitchen with a lunchbox and was taken aback for a moment.
The man standing in front of him was too handsome. Even if he did not say a word, he carried himself with such grace and composure.
He wore black clothes and black trousers, and he looked gentle. However, he was secretly scrutinizing Hamilton.
The man’s eyes were beautiful. The light cast a faint shadow of his eyelashes on his lower eyelids. There were no other emotions in his eyes, and he looked indifferent and cold.
Hamilton stood up in a daze. “You are...?”
Clayton raised his chin and pointed to the lunchbox on the table.
“That’s your meal.”
Only then did Hamilton come to his senses. “Oh, it’s done. Thank you.”
Clayton looked at him for a few seconds before he said in a hoarse voice, “The dishes she ordered for lunch are all cold vegetarian dishes, and eating so little isn’t good for her health.”
Hamilton suddenly raised his head and looked at Clayton strangely. However, Clayton did not say much. He turned around and left.
Hamilton scratched his head and felt puzzled, not understanding what he meant.
Kira came over in a hurry and said with a smile, “The dishes are ready. For the best dining experience, please persuade Ms. Stanton to eat as soon as possible!”
Hamilton nodded and smiled.
“Alright. Was that man just now the chef?”
Kira’s face stiffened. She smiled and replied, “Yes.”
“He looks so handsome. I thought he was your boss!”
Kira smiled and remained silent.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorced Billionaire Heiress
I liked this book and wanted to read it. As I have moved into the chapters, I have found that it is unreadable due to typographical errors, including sentences that are incomplete, complete gibberish, missing elements. This is not just some misspelled words. It is actually unreadable. If you decide to fix this, let me know and I will read it....
