Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 993

When Wilbur stepped out of the car, he was holding a shawl.

He walked straight over to Claire and handed her the fabric, which still carried the warmth of the car's heater.

"The temperature dropped. Don't catch a cold."

Just as Claire reached out to take it, Felix suddenly grabbed her arm and snapped at Wilbur, "She has a husband. You don't need to worry about whether she's cold."

Wilbur didn't back down at Felix's possessive display.

He tilted his head slightly, his gaze bypassing Felix's tense shoulders to land accurately on Claire.

His usually casual, captivating eyes were now alarmingly deep.

He had always played by his own rules.

If the woman wasn't Claire, he wouldn't have cared about another man staking a claim.

But he had to consider Claire's dignity, so he moved to retract the shawl.

Yet, the moment his hand moved, Claire reached out and yanked the fabric from his grasp.

Right in front of Felix, she wrapped it around her shoulders and shot back defensively, "You might not be cold, but I am! I need it!"

Felix's face instantly turned livid.

Claire couldn't care less about his dark expression. She shook off his grip and gave Wilbur a radiant smile. "Thanks for picking me up. I was freezing to death. Let's get out of here before I turn into an icicle."

Wilbur smiled faintly. "Alright."

Just like that, right under Felix's nose, Claire got into Wilbur's car.

Long after the car drove away, the heavy gloom on Felix's face refused to fade.

He had thought about stopping her.

But his mind was entirely consumed by Claire's mocking expression and the words she had said.

She had said...

[You are so weird. I'm just treating you exactly how you treat me, and now you're mad.]

How had he treated her in the past?

When she suffered an unexpected miscarriage, he had blamed her for Madeline's sake.

When she spent six months fighting for a role, Madeline only had to say she wanted it, and he snatched it right out of Claire's hands.

He was devastated to lose the baby too.

But it had already happened. What was the point of pointing fingers?

If she really loved children, they could always have another one.

That thought made Felix's mind pause for a second.

Honestly... he didn't even like kids.

Since marrying Claire, he had never once considered having a child.

But if they shared a child, would it help fix the current state of their relationship?

...

Despite going to bed very late the night before, Claire woke up early the next morning.

She had something very important to handle today.

Cedarstone Law Group.

Claire detailed the events of the previous night to Coley and asked, "Under these circumstances, can I sue Madeline for false accusation?"
