Chapter 10 Definitely Feed You
- The first ray of sunlight shone into the cabin on Clara. She slowly opened her eyes.
- Clara looked at her surroundings, surprised.
- Although she was unfamiliar with this place, it was the first time she had such a peaceful sleep.
- She got up, brushed her teeth, and got out of the bathroom.
- A knock sounded on the door.
- Clara went to open the door.
- James stood straight by the door. He had three bags in his hand.
- "Your clothes are probably not dry yet. Wear this," James said solemnly.
- Clara was touched. "I seem to owe you more and more."
- James did not seem to want her to continue. His tone was cold. "If you don't wish to owe me, you can just throw these away when you get back."
- Clara smiled. He was indeed an arrogant person.
- "I will not do so. Thank you so much, Chief."
- "You are not my subordinate, nor a soldier. You don't have to call me chief," James spoke coldly.
- "What?" She was embarrassed. "Sorry."
- "My name is James." He looked at the sea. "You can call me James."
- A strange feeling surged in Clara's heart.
- "Please count the costs for these cosmetics, clothes, and shoes and let me know the amount. I cannot accept your things just like that." Clara changed the subject.
- There was a sullen look in his eyes. He squinted at her. She looked calm. "If you really don't want to owe me, you can accompany me and pay for my shopping expenses this afternoon."
- Clara paused and lowered her eyes.
- This was also a good idea.
- "I have work today. Can we go after work?" Clara asked.
- James's face darkened. She really had the intention to distance herself from him.
- "Lieutenant Colonel Adler has arrived. Get in the car." Without letting Clara get a good glimpse of his face, he strode towards the pier.
- Lieutenant Colonel Adler stood beside the Land Rover. He opened the rear door for them.
- After James got into the car, he ordered coldly, "Send her home first."
- "Yes sir," Adler responded, obliging James's commands. He then asked, "Miss Clara, may I know where you live?"
- "Blue Condominium. Thank you," Clara replied politely.
- She glanced back at James.
- James's eyes were closed. He was taking a nap. He looked elegant and inapproachable.
- Clara did not speak to avoid disturbing his rest. She looked out of the window.
- A motorcycle was approaching them at a fast speed.
- James opened his eyes abruptly and looked out of the window.
- The motorcyclist held a gun up.
- Before Clara could react, he pressed onto her body and pulled her into his arms. He used his hands to cover her head.
- "Bang!"
- A bullet flew through the window…
- It grazed James's arm and hit the car door.
- Lieutenant Colonel Adler quickly stopped the car, and the motorcycle sped off.
- "Chief, are you alright?"
- James glared sharply in the direction of the motorcycle. "Block the Greenhill road, and get the surveillance cameras' records. Don't startle the enemies."
- "Yes, Chief!"
- Clara shivered lightly. Her hands were covered in blood, but she could not find any wound on her.
- She suddenly glanced at James, who was beside her. His arms were covered by scratches from the shattered glass pieces.
- If it wasn't for him, her head or her face would have gotten hurt.
- Her heart skipped a beat.
- "Your hand is injured. Why don't we go to the hospital to dress it first? It's just nearby," Clara suggested out of concern.
- James looked at Clara and replied apologetically, "It's alright. I can't send you back anymore. I have to return to the military base. I'll call you again."
- Clara nodded quickly. "It's okay. You may hurry and go. I can go back myself."
- But…
- She glanced at James's arm, which was covered with blood.
- This man seemed to care too little about himself.
- A strange feeling spread in her heart.
- …
- Clara took a taxi back to her apartment. As soon as she entered, she saw Jon lazing on the sofa. He was playing with a knife. He had a menacing look in his eyes.
- Clara was not surprised.
- She had brought up their divorce yesterday. Based on her understanding of Jon, he should be on his toes now.
- "Let me take my marriage certificate and personal ID. I might need the household registration book as well. Wait for me." Clara headed towards the bedroom.
- "Did that man make you happy?" Ron asked sarcastically.
- Clara cast a glance at him.
- She hated his nastiness. She twitched the corners of her mouth and did not bother to defend herself. "Yeah, it wasn't too bad."
- Jon got up abruptly and gave her a slap on the face. "You're downright cheap."
- He hit her so hard.
- She felt dizzy all of a sudden. She could see stars before her, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
- Clara wiped the corner of her mouth calmly.
- The worst thing she had ever done in this life was to fall in love with him!
- "If this is called cheap, what about you who have cheated on me so many times?" Clara taunted him.
- After she said that, she realized that it was pointless for her to even care about him.
- "Forget it. We shall go our separate ways after today. There is nothing for us to talk about anymore. The apartment is yours, so I will move out this afternoon." Clara walked to the front.
- Jon's eyes got a little red. He pulled her arm, then her hand, and lastly grabbed her face. He squeezed the flesh on her cheeks hard, until they hurt.
- "Have you now learned how to cheat on me?" Jon demanded angrily. The veins on his forehead popped from the anger he felt.
- Clara glared at him. She ignored him and pulled his hand off her. "We have nothing to do with each other anymore."
- He felt his chest tighten.
- Did she plan to move on?
- He grabbed her chin once more. His nostrils flared as he breathed out hot air on her face. It was as if he wanted to cook her alive with the fire in his heart.
- He didn't know why he felt so angry when he learned about her intention to divorce him and leave him alone!
- "Clara, I will let you know the consequences of betraying me today." He unzipped his fly. His eyes glimmered with rage. "Haven't you always wanted me to fuck you? I will grant your wish today. You will definitely love it."
