No Divorce? The Billionaire's Love Chase! novel Chapter 542

Beside him lay a pool of blood, some of it dried to a dark crimson, some of it still fresh. Not far away, an overturned pill bottle lay next to a scatter of pills.

His right hand was clenched tight, its palm pierced by something sharp, with blood still seeping out.

His expression was calm, his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling, devoid of light.

His breathing was faint, but tears streamed fiercely from the corners of his eyes.

With his eyes open, his mind was filled with images of Claudia.

As a child, she had been adorable and endearingly chubby, always chasing after him. When she couldn't keep up, she’d throw a tantrum, sitting on the floor and crying until he turned back to pick her up.

When she got a little older, she still loved to follow him around. The way she said his name, "York," was so sweet.

If he ignored her, she would get moody, angry, and cause trouble until he dropped everything to comfort her.

Older still, she looked at him with the shy blush of first love. She was incredibly clingy, occasionally making bold moves to flirt with him, to steal a kiss. She would shamelessly tell any girl who tried to get close to him that she was his future wife.

When he finally asked her to marry him, he would never forget the utter disbelief in her eyes as she cried with joy. She had tearfully asked him again and again, confirming if he really wanted to marry her, now that the Watkins family was bankrupt.

After marrying him, she had slowly tempered her personality, becoming gentle and considerate in a way that even he hadn't noticed at first.

Her smile was always so full of contentment, so full of happiness.

She always declared that she loved him more than she loved herself. She said she would never leave him, no matter what happened.

...

But in the end, she left.

She walked away without a single look back.

He was the one who had personally crushed her love, extinguished her smile, and destroyed her happiness.

Now, she was independent, confident, and dazzling. She was surrounded by so many outstanding people, people who loved her. There was no longer any room for him.

York slowly closed his eyes, letting the tears slide down his temples.

He used to think that true love didn't really exist. But what Claudia had given him was the most passionate and sincere love in the world.

He finally understood what love was, what true happiness felt like.
