Chapter 117 Vincent, Have You Fallen For Gabby?
I frowned, a sharp wave of irritation rising inside me.
Claire was completely hysterical, on the verge of losing it, I suddenly
felt exhausted.
‘Had I been wrong with her all this time?‘
I had always thought she was a gentle and understanding woman, but
now, it didn’t seem that way.
Letting out a slow breath, I rubbed my temples and said in a low voice, “Claire, I had a couple of drinks. That woman came onto me–I didn’t
want anything to do with her.”
“Can you stop overreacting?”
But Claire’s tears spilled down her cheeks like raindrops, her voice
trembled as she said, “Ever since Gabby died, you’ve changed-”
Her eyes were red, her voice breaking, “You’ve become distant. You don’t care about me anymore, and you don’t care about our baby–l know you’re grieving, but I’m scared, Vincent. I’m terrified of losing you
“Enough!” I suddenly roared, slamming my hand on the table. A rush of
anger burst from my chest.
“Claire, stop talking nonsense! Gabby isn’t dead!”

Claire’s sobs were cut off. She stared at me, stunned, her expression flickering with shock.
For a long moment, she just stood there, trying to process my words. Then, in a whisper, she murmured, “But–it’s been so many days–Can
she really still be alive?”
My hands curled into fists tightly as I glared at her, my anger burning
hot, “Claire, if it weren’t for you, Gabby never would have gone
missing!”
“I haven’t seen her body. Until I do, I won’t believe she’s gone!”
Claire’s face drained of all color. Even her lips trembled.
Tears slid down her cheeks as she whispered hoarsely, “You’re yelling
at me–because of Gabby-”
She clutched her chest, her voice raw, “Vincent, do you even love me
anymore?”
She hesitated for a moment, took a shaky breath, and then lifted her head. Her eyes locked onto mine–a gaze filled with accusation.
“Be honest with me–Have you fallen in love with Gabrielle?”
My heart clenched hard.
I opened my mouth but couldn’t make a sound.

A bitter laugh escaped me, a wry smirk tugging at my lips.
“Gabrielle and I–we were married for six years-”
“But it’s only now that I finally understand my own heart.”
Claire’s face went completely pale.
She stood there frozen, her eyes filled with terror.
“You–What do you mean?” Her voice shook like she was afraid to
hear the answer.
I didn’t respond. Instead, I just slowly closed my eyes, and for the first
time, I felt completely certain.
“Stop overthinking it. Focus on your pregnancy. Don’t push yourself
too hard–it’s not good for you.”
With that, I got up to leave.
But before I could take a step, Claire suddenly threw her arms around
me from behind!
She clung to my waist desperately, her sobs raw and desperate. Her
voice was pleading, full of helplessness.
“Vince, don’t go-”
I turned my head, my gaze landing on her pale face, then drifting down

Taking a deep breath, I forced myself to stay calm as I tried to soothe
her. “I’ll have someone take you home. Just listen, okay? Don’t make a
scene.”
But Claire shook her head violently, her eyes filled with something
close to craziness.
“No! I won’t leave!”
“I just want to stay with you. I don’t want to go anywhere else—”
Her relentless clinging drained the last of my patience.
“I just need to be alone for a while.”
Claire froze, her red–rimmed eyes staring at me, full of hurt and
accusation.
“Vince–You’ve changed–all because of Gabrielle, haven’t you?”
