Chapter 733: Why Was It Her and Not Me?
CHAPTER 733: CHAPTER 733: WHY WAS IT HER AND NOT ME?
Just the thought of them being together every second and knowing that Claire Keller is always by his bedside makes her feel incredibly jealous!
Even though he’s not awake, that feeling of being there for someone is happiness itself! Eliza Hayes can deeply relate!
And what kind of life has she been living these past twenty years?
It’s been like hell, living in hatred day after day, like a madwoman, even affecting Adrian’s growth!
The hatred in her heart!
She will never forgive Claire Keller in this lifetime!!
She wishes she could slap her a few times!
With deep hatred, she tore the letter into pieces and angrily threw it into the trash can!
Before she could calm down, there was a knocking sound not far behind her.
When Eliza Hayes turned around, she saw Caleb Lancaster in a navy sweater entering. At this moment, because of her anger, her eyes were bloodshot with tears, and her body slightly trembled with a profound pain inside, an emotion she could hardly control.
Caleb Lancaster felt a slight jolt in his heart, "What’s wrong? Honey."
He took a few steps forward to her, looked at her worriedly, then noticed the torn letter in the trash can nearby.
The vaguely familiar words caught the man’s attention, his heart clenched, his brows furrowed, was it a letter from Claire Keller?
He looked away, then looked back at his wife.
In the silent room, the couple’s eyes met, and she held all her suppressed emotions in her eyes.
Caleb Lancaster felt his wife’s emotions crumbling bit by bit, despite not knowing the content of the letter, it certainly wasn’t something good.
Once Eliza Vance finds out that these twenty years were spent with Claire Keller, her heart will surely find it hard to accept.
How heartbroken must she be at this moment?
Reaching out to embrace his wife in his arms, Caleb Lancaster had a thousand words to say to her, yet didn’t know how to start...
"Eliza, if I said there’s nothing between Claire and I, you wouldn’t believe it..."
The woman bit her lip and looked up from his embrace, asking tearfully—
"So you know, you’ve been with her for these twenty years? You felt it every day? Right?"
"You’re just unable to wake up, but you can feel her presence, she’s by your side, her breath, her words... everything about her!"
Yes, his mind is clear, but the more his wife spoke, the more agitated she became, he couldn’t admit it!
Caleb Lancaster couldn’t deceive her, he had to be honest.
So, he looked straight into his wife’s bloodshot eyes and nodded, "Yes."
Heavens!
Eliza Hayes’s world collapsed! She couldn’t bear it any more!
Eliza Hayes knew a bit about Claire Keller’s personality; she is romantic, gentle, and pretty.
She is the First Love in the hearts of countless men!
Spending every day and night with her, no man would remain unmoved! Especially because she’s so devoted, having cared for him by his bedside for 20 years!
Eliza Hayes let go of him, stepped back sadly, her eyes full of unfamiliarity, "You have feelings for her too, right?"
"No!" Caleb Lancaster stepped forward and tightly held the emotional woman in his arms again!
"Eliza, there’s nothing between her and me, I’ve never fallen for her, the woman in my heart has always been you! And only you! I’ve been longing to wake up every day! I want to return to your side and Adrian’s!"
Eliza Hayes buried her head in his chest, clutching his arm tightly, crying sadly...
Why, for these twenty years, was the person by his side not herself but Claire Keller?
