The Internet’s Favorite Couple Was My Marriage’s Worst Nightmar novel Chapter 41

Chapter 11

Evan was a bit jealous, standing to the side holding our daughter, watching me with displeasure.

I smiled softly, squeezing his fingers reassuringly before answering the call.

“Julian, what is it?”

“Clara, where the hell are you?”

“I’ve been missing you so bad–can I come over right now?”

Julian’s voice trembled over the line, raw with regret…

I gripped Evan’s fingers when he tried to pull away jealously, holding them even tighter.

After a few attempts, he resigned himself to letting me hold his hand.

“I just wrapped up postpartum–I’m having my wedding! If you want to come, remember to bring a gift, thanks.”

There was dead silence on the other end of the line.

I didn’t wait for Julian to respond before hanging up.

Then I took this number I’d long forgotten about and blocked it.

I put down my phone and stood up.

Evan placed our daughter in her carrier and hugged me tightly.

“I don’t like you saying other men’s names.”

“Okay, I won’t say them anymore.”

“I also don’t like you talking so much with other men.”

“Okay, from now on I’ll only talk this much with you.”

Chapter 11

“Clara, I love you so much.”

“I know. I love you too.”

“But I love you more, and I’ve loved you longer.”

“When did you start liking me?”

“When you first came to L.A for college, I saw you at your school.”

“The first time I saw you, I wanted to pursue you, but you ran away.”

I stared blankly, my mind a total blank, with no memory of this event.

When I first started studying in L.A, there had been people pursuing me, but because of my engagement, I’d rejected them all.

I was also careful to keep my distance from men.

“I ran away? What did you do to scare me off?”

“I just parked my car outside your dormitory and had ten bodyguards each holding a bouquet of flowers…”

Evan looked a bit uncomfortable.

“Don’t girls like flowers?”

I doubled over with laughter, finally remembering this long–forgotten incident.

I also remembered how Bree and I had analyzed the situation for a long time.

Our conclusion was that this guy was terrifying and we needed to stay far away from him.

Who pursues women like that?

Anyone would think he was trying to kidnap someone.

Being young and new to 1.A, I naturally fled in terror.

In my youth, I tended to judge people by appearances, but now I understood.

Those seemingly gentle and refined hypocrites were actually the worst–like Julian.

As for Evan…

I couldn’t help standing on tiptoe to kiss him.

He was the most precious treasure I’d found in my life.

“Clara Ward, you’re about to become my wife. Are you happy?”

I nodded vigorously.

“Evan, I’m very happy.”
