Your Love Is But a Dream (Clara and Wren) novel Chapter 295

Wren couldn't bear to see Clara endure hardship in a place like this. He knew she refused to accept his gift because she didn't want any further ties with him, but he couldn't help it. He couldn't just sever all ties with her.

He hoped she could accept his gifts as she did before without hesitation. He wanted her to be happy, not like she was now.

Clara didn't expect Wren to misunderstand. She looked at him seriously and said, "I'm not lacking money. I bought the electric bike because it's convenient.

"Over the years, I've already received so much from the Zachman family. Now that you're getting married, I don't want to keep relying on your money. It wouldn't be right. If Ivy finds out, she won't be happy, either."

When Wren heard her mention Ivy, he thought she was still holding on to the things that had happened before. Thinking back to the injustices Clara had endured during that time, he nearly wanted to punch himself.

"Don't say that, Clara," he said, looking at her painfully. "You're not an outsider. You're the only—"

Clara realized what Wren was about to say and immediately cut him off, "Wren, stop it!"

She took a deep breath and looked at him calmly. "Some things just aren't right to say. I'll pretend I never heard the things you said before. From now on, you're still my brother. I wish you and Ivy all the best."

Clara couldn't let herself entertain any thoughts she shouldn't. She would treat the things Wren said as words spoken in a moment of panic when she suddenly disappeared.

Wren hadn't broken off his engagement with Ivy. Once he returned to Phoypolis, the engagement party would go ahead as planned, followed by the wedding. Clara would continue to play the role of his sister in the years to come, offering him her blessings.
