Chapter 118 Gabby, Please Come Back-
Watching Claire’s tears fall, I felt nothing. No pity. No guilt.
Only an overwhelming sense of irritation.
‘Had I changed?‘

Before, even after years apart, I would’ve instinctively wanted to
comfort her if she was in pain.
But now, as she cried, as she clung to me with desperation, as she
tried every possible way to hold on-
All I felt was exhaustion. And disgust.
“Claire, that’s enough.” My voice was colder than ever as I shoved her
hands off me.
“I’m going home. I’ll call Luke to take you back.”
But Claire refused to let go. Her grip on my arm tightened, her voice
trembling with fear and uncertainty.
“Vincent, tell me the truth–Have you fallen in love with Gabrielle?”
The question again caught me off guard.
‘Did I love Gabby?‘
Six years of marriage—she had been by my side every day. I had
always thought I was just used to having her presence.

I thought she was just Toby’s mother. My family. Someone who would
always be there, no matter what.
But–when she was truly gone, I realized–my entire world had
collapsed.
I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t think.
I was losing my mind. Even the slightest hope of finding her, I would
chase after like a madman.
There were even moments–standing alone by the sea- I caught
myself wondering-
‘If Gabby was really dead, should I go with her?‘
Claire saw my silence, and her face turned pale even more.
Her red–rimmed eyes filled with sorrow, and she let out a bitter laugh.
“So it’s true–You really do love her.” She looked away, as if she were
mocking herself.
Tears streamed down her face. Then suddenly, she threw herself into
my arms, clinging to me like a drowning woman.
“But Vince, I’m carrying your child! How can you do this to me?”
I didn’t push her away. But I didn’t hold her either.
My mind was a mess, and I didn’t even want to think anymore.

Then, before I could react, Claire’s lips crashed onto mine, her tongue
forcefully pushed into my mouth.
At the same time, her hand grabbed my belt, her fingertips roaming
over my body, desperate to ignite something–anything–between us.
I shoved her away forcefully, my voice cold and sharp, “Claire, look at
what you’re doing.”
Claire froze, clearly startled.
I let out a slow breath, softening my tone, “You’re pregnant, don’t do
anything reckless.”
I thought Claire would stop this nonsense, but after a moment of si
lence, she did something even more shocking. She started taking off
her clothes!
“What the hell are you doing now?” My brows furrowed.
Claire stripped herself completely in seconds, her eyes wild with
desperation. She pressed her body against mine.
“Vince–I want you-” Her face was full of desire as she pressed her fu
Il breasts against my chest, her hands slipping into my pants, teasing my skin-
But I felt nothing. No desire. No heat.
Just irritation.
Claire didn’t seem to notice. Instead, she laughed, narrowing her eyes,

Mers:
her voice turned soft and deliberately seductive, “Vince–you still have
feelings for me, don’t you?”
I stayed silent, unsure of what to say.
But then, she suddenly pushed me down onto the couch, her fingers
yanking at my zipper with frantic urgency.
Before I could react, she freed my cock, her hands reaching for me,
desperate to draw a reaction.
Claire’s face twisted in horror, her voice cracked, “Vince, please don’t
fight this, just give it to me, please?”
She pressed herself down, her wet heat pressing against me,
desperate to make me want her.
“Enough!” I snapped back to reality and shoved her off me with all my
strength.
I stood up, hastily fixing my clothes, my chest rising and falling with
anger. I stared at the naked woman on the floor, and for the first time
in my life–l felt nothing but disgust.
“Claire, think about the baby.”
Her expression darkened instantly, “Vincent! How could you!?”
She grabbed the blanket off the couch, wrapping it around herself, her voice shaking with rage and humiliation, “I’m literally throwing myself at you, and you’re still pushing me away?”

I didn’t waste another second on her. Without a second glance, I
turned around and walked out of the private room.
Behind me, I could hear her screams, her sobs, even the sound of glass shattering, the echoes of her sobs.
But I didn’t stop.
I stepped out into the cold night, the dim streetlights casting long
shadows across the pavement.
The night breeze carried a sharp chill, cutting through my clothes like
a blade.
I pulled out a cigarette, flicked open my lighter, and took a slow drag. Leaning against the cold wall, I tilted my head back, staring up at the dark sky, my eyes burned. My chest ached.
Gabby, please–just come back to me.
