Claire yells at Leo, "you tease women! Can't I be angry? Also, can you stop thinking that any woman likes you! Okay? Not every woman in the world will like you. If she likes you, she must be blind! Or she is cheated by you bastard!"
"Claire!" Claire's accusation disappoints and breaks Leo's heart. He grabs Claire by the shoulder and forces her to look into his eyes. "Is that what you think of me? Although I tease other women, I don't do that to you."
"Shut up!" Claire pushes Leo away and keeps him from touching her. She stares at Leo with red eyes and roars, "stop disgusting me! Are you going to tell me you like me so you won't tease me? Leo, that's enough. I've seen hypocrites, but I've never seen a hypocrite like you!"
"I..."
Claire's resistance breaks Leo's heart. He almost says that he likes her, but when he sees the hatred in Claire's eyes, he doesn't say it.
Leo looks aside and mocks her, "Do I like you? Stop joking. I don't like a woman who has a bad figure and looks ugly. Claire, do you think what I said this morning meant I liked you? I advise you not to think too much. Your ending will be the same as Fiona's."
Finally, Leo looks straight at Claire and smiles cruelly. He says coldly, "don't blame me for not reminding you. When you cry and beg me, I won't answer you!"
With that, Leo strides out of the room. He goes back to his room and closes the door and punches it heavily.
Leo's face is black. He must be furious so he said that words to Claire. That's not what he thinks!
Part of the reason he's been so nice to Fiona these days is that he wants Fiona to approve the cooperation project herself. Besides, he wants to see Claire jealous. He wants to hear her own admission that she likes him. Claire is a stubborn woman. Even if she doesn't say it, Leo is happy to see that she cares about him.
Claire not only followed them all the time and didn't talk, but she didn't blame him. Besides, her occasional complaint was refuted by him.
Leo began to worry. Claire's indifference made Leo thought she didn't like him at all. He was afraid Claire didn't like him, so he was so angry when he saw Claire took Fiona's money.
He didn't expect Claire to accept the money and try to leave quickly. He was more anxious, so he hurriedly ended his date with Fiona and came back to punish Claire.
Leo doesn't understand what he thinks. Whenever he sees Claire, he can't help but tease her and want to see more of her.
Recently Leo wonders if she likes him. This kind of curiosity makes Leo, who is possessive, unable to stop at all, so the farce happened.
But Leo doesn't understand Claire's attitude. Sometimes her ambiguous attitude makes him think Claire likes him, but sometimes Claire pushes him away like a hedgehog. Every time he tries to get close to her, she will finally run away.
Leo doesn't feel comfortable. The more Claire rejects him, the more Leo is possessive and wants to keep Claire with him and possess her.
Today, he wanted to tell Claire what he thought, but the hatred in her eyes made Leo flinch. What did he do to make Claire hate so much?
Before everything is clear, Leo doesn't want to tell Claire about his concerns so quickly and he doesn't allow him to say it in that situation, so he said those words angrily.
Ah...
Leo feels that he has changed since Claire appeared. He didn't have so many concerns before.
...
Since Leo says that and leaves, Claire seems to have fallen into an ice cave. Every cell in her body seems to be dead without any sense.
Gradually she knees on the ground. She suddenly wants to cry. She is so aggrieved!
She doesn't want to be teased or despised by Leo! Why is she insulted by him six years ago and now she is teased by him? Claire's hatred is at its peak!
Dad, I'm sorry. Dad...
Claire's tears come down quietly. She doesn't cry as much as she thinks. Her hands are on the ground and clench. Her eyes are filled with hatred and grievances.
If there's a chance, she must let Leo give her all he owes her back!
...
Leo has rarely come to Claire since they quarreled. His partnership is approved so they have no reason to stay in City B. But Leo doesn't mention going back to City A and Claire doesn't ask him.
Claire is bored in the room. She decides to go out and play. She has been to this city with many tourist attractions for so long but she hasn't gone out to play.
Claire gets up early this day. She wears casual clothes and her hair is tied at will. She goes out in high spirits.
She makes a plan for the whole day. She will go to the most characteristic buildings in the city first. In the afternoon she will go to the famous ancient city of the city. In the evening, she will take a boat to watch a program on an island in the middle of the sea. She hears that it is the sign of the city. Every visitor to the city will go to the island and feel the characteristics of the city.
In order to have a good time, Claire looked up a lot of information last night, so she didn't sleep well all night. When she gets up this morning, she has deep shadow round her eyes.
But...
