Never See You Again

The maid entered the room and reported, “Mr. Jefferson, Mr. Ramoz is here with Ms. Ramoz.” 

Upon hearing Henry’s arrival, Conner’s tension eased. But upon learning Clara had come as well, a cold smile crept onto his lips. 

She had gone behind his back to plead with Hailey, signaling her defiance. It was time to teach her a lesson. 

Conner rose from his seat and instructed, “Ask Mr. Tamoz and Nathalie to wait for me in the foyer.” 

“Yes, Mr. Jefferson,” the maid responded before departing 

Conner adjusted his sleeves, preparing to meet his fiancée properly and have a serious conversation with her. 

Meanwhile, Clara sat at the table, her gaze occasionally drifting toward Conner’s bedroom. After moments of nervous hesitation, she turned to Henry and asked, “Dad, couldn’t we have just eaten at home? Why did we have to come here?” 

“My dear, I know there have been misunderstandings between you and Conner. He’s a good man, and he has been searching for you for years. 

“He’s way better compared to Sergio! Trust me, reconcile with Conner,” advised Henry. 

Clara suddenly felt uneasy after listening to him. “Dad, Conner and I haven’t fought. Why are you suddenly thinking this way?” 

“Silly child, are you still trying to hide things from me? We know about your visit to Brooks Estate to see Sergio. But Conner loves you. He won’t hold it against you.” 

“W–what “Clara’s expression froze, wondering how Conner and Henry could know about her visit to Brooks Estate 

“Nathalie.” A low, amused voice interrupted from nearby 

Clara froze in place at the voice, unable to move. When she turned her head, she saw Conner’s half–smiling expression.

Conner approached Clara and remarked, “Why are you dressed like this today? It’s cold outside. You should dress warmer. 

“T–Thank you” she star mered, struggling to control her trembling She wondered how would Conner react after discovering her visit to Sergio 

“Dad, I’m not feeling well. Can I go home?” Clara asked, looking to Henry for support. 

Unfortunately, Henry misunderstood her intentions and explained, “Nathaße, I’m going on a business trip soon. I’m worried about leaving you alone at home, so I asked Conner to look after you. 

“If you’re not feeling well, go upstairs and rest. Conner and I have matters to discuss.” 

His words made Clara feel like she was falling into an abyss. If he left, she would lose her only protector 

she had betrayed Conner, and she had no clue how he would respond 

*Nathalie, go upstairs and rest if you’re unwell. I’ll arrange for a doctor to come and check on you.” Conner’s eyes gleamed with any intensity. 

“L.I’m fine “she uttered 

“You’re pregnant. You must take care of yourself.” 

At the mention of the child, Clara instinctively protected her stomach. She sensed Conner wouldn’t let her off lightly. He might begin by targeting the child in her womb. 

*Ms. Barnoz, please come with me.” The maid stepped forward to escort Clara upstairs.
