No Divorce? The Billionaire's Love Chase! novel Chapter 438

Celia looked around at the crowd and decided not to push it further. When she saw York walk straight up to Claudia, she bit her lip in jealousy.

York had the looks, came from an elite family, was sharp, and carried real influence. Any woman would be drawn to him.

She had admired him from afar for a long time but never dared to show it. As an illegitimate daughter, she knew she wasn't worthy.

When York got divorced and Ann was sentenced, she thought her chance had finally come. Though York was from an elite family, he was a divorcé now. She had planned to ask her father to help arrange a marriage. But then she heard the Ferguson family had already decided to form an alliance with the Windsors. Even though she was illegitimate, her father was the head of the Shaw family. It stung that not a single heir from the eight great families had even looked her way.

York's face was grim as he blocked Claudia's path. "I need to talk to you."

Hugh tactfully took the child and left. Soon, the corridor on the second floor was empty, leaving only York and Claudia.

"Even if you hadn't come up, I wouldn't have hurt Eddy," York explained.

Claudia found his words ironic. "York, it wouldn't be the first time."

Remembering that incident, York's resolve faltered. He took a tentative step closer. "That time was an accident. Besides, he hurt me back, so he got his revenge."

York looked into her eyes. "Claudia, can't we just forget about it?"

Claudia took a step back, her gaze unwavering. "York, the pain you brought to me and my family… I will remember it forever."

"The only way I'll forget is on the day I die."

Ignoring the anguish in his eyes, Claudia turned sharply to leave.

York instinctively grabbed her wrist.
