Chapter 596<\/p>\n
As soon as Arthur said these words, Claire\u2019s heart skipped a beat, and her palms gradually broke out in a thin layer of sweat.<\/p>\n
Although she looked carefree, her cheeks couldn\u2019t help but flush when she heard this. \u201cThis, this is a joke, right?<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Jarrett, you\u2019ve met countless people. I\u2019m a woman with a scumbag ex\u2013husband, two children, and about to be a grandmother. If anyone hears this, they\u2019ll laugh their teeth off.\u201d<\/p>\n
As Claire spoke, her speech became faster and more incoherent. After she finished speaking, she laughed twice more.<\/p>\n
Arthur didn\u2019t say anything, but looked at her with a smile. \u201cCome on, have some tea.<\/p>\n
After saying so much in one breath, Claire was really thirsty. She picked up the teacup again and drank all the tea in one gulp. Then she thought of something and patted her head.<\/p>\n
She thought, \u201cThis man is indeed worthy of sitting in that seat. His words and the aura he exudes can instantly lead my thoughts astray. I almost forget why I come to see him today!<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d Arthur asked, seeing Claire\u2019s conflicted expression.<\/p>\n
Claire straightened her back when he asked, and met his eyes with a serious expression. \u201cMr. Jarrett, I have a few things to tell you today. It\u2019s a bit of a long story and may take up some of your time. Please forgive me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Arthur nodded and leaned back comfortably on the sofa, resting his head on one hand as he looked at Claire. \u201cIt\u2019s alright, take your time. We have the whole night.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, I\u2019ll begin then. First of all, I want to apologize to you.\u201d After saying that, Claire stood up and bowed sincerely to Arthur.<\/p>\n
As soon as Claire stood up, Arthur adjusted from his comfortable sitting position and sat up straight to look at her. \u201cYou are apologizing for what happened all those years ago?\u201d<\/p>\n
Arthur hit the nail on the head. Claire nodded and sat down. \u201cYes, Mr. Jarrett.<\/p>\n
\u201cYears ago, during the war in Astamia, I was a young war correspondent and a military medic. I remember clearly that Clusia had been supporting Astamia during that time.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne day, I received an order from my newspaper agency in Clusia to take photos of the situatio course, I went, as it was part of my job.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was afraid of encountering enemy troops, so I disguised myself well. However, it was as if fate even walked halfway when I ran into them.\u00a0at the battlefront. Of\u00a0against me. I hadn\u2019t<\/p>\n
\u201cThere were five or six of them, all strong men. Seeing me, they may have been overcome by some kind of animalistic desire because they dragged me into their tent.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey tried to force me to submit to them, to become their plaything. I would rather die than follow, so I could only. struggle desperately, revealing my identity and threatening them with death.<\/p>\n
\u201cPerhaps at that time, Clusia still held some influence, and they were afraid of causing an international incident. So they didn\u2019t force me but just locked me up. However, one of them still wouldn\u2019t give up and secretly drugged my food with aphrodisiacs.<\/p>\n
However, just like Claire, he raised an eyebrow slightly when he heard about encountering his wounded self. \u201cAnd then you proceeded to, well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Claire\u2019s face flushed bright red, and she nodded. \u201cThat\u2019s right, it was like that, what you\u2019re thinking. I\u2019m so embarrassed. I really didn\u2019t mean to do that. You were shot in that situation, and I\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe it was your looks that really struck me at that moment.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHank was there later, and he was shot too. You should know what happened after that. There\u2019s no need to repeat it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really sorry. I\u2019ve always known you were there. I secretly saw your ID card in your pocket when it was over.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve always remembered you!\/a\u2018<\/p>\n
\u201cHe didn\u2019t intend to acknowledge you at first. But now that he has, it doesn\u2019t matter anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-619","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/619","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=619"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
