No Divorce? The Billionaire's Love Chase! novel Chapter 221

Faced with York's agitation, Claudia struggled to sit up.

"I'm really fine," she said.

The sting of the whip was nothing compared to the pain of hearing York say he didn't love her.

It was nothing compared to the moment she found out he had cheated, watching their grand reunion on a screen.

York sat on the edge of the bed, their faces close.

Claudia was too quiet now, too composed.

It made him uneasy.

He tentatively reached for her hand. "I was wrong tonight. I shouldn't have let Ann into our dressing room, and I definitely shouldn't have let her wear your clothes."

Claudia subtly pulled her hand away. "If you can be shared with her, what's a dress? It's been worn, so what."

Her casual words landed on York's chest like a mountain, making it hard for him to breathe.

He grabbed her wrist, his gaze fixed on her as he hesitated for a long moment.

Finally, he began to explain. "Claudia, believe it or not, it's not what you think between Ann and me."

Claudia looked down, a cold smile touching her lips.

She didn't need to think. Everyone had seen it with their own eyes.

"Back in college, Ann saved my life," York said. "She pursued me for a year. Her family was ordinary, but she was honest, frugal, and kind. I eventually agreed to date her, and after graduation, I even considered marrying her."

Seeing no reaction from Claudia, his grip on her wrist tightened unconsciously.
