MY GORGEOUS WIFE IS AN EX-CONVICT

CHAPTER 5

I can’t refuse, can I?” claire asked.

Isaac’s eyes flashed slightly, and the smile on his face disappeared little by little. He then slowly straightened up and looked down at her. “No, you can refuse. I can give you the right to refuse, but…”

After pausing, he looked at her with a faint smile. “Sis, are you sure you want to refuse?”

Claire felt that the air around her seemed to be frozen at this moment. If she agreed, she could indeed get a lot of things or even change her own destiny.

If it had been someone else who had said these words to her, perhaps she would have agreed.

But isaav… She had a kind of fear towards this man. It was true that he had never really tried to deal with her. However, just one sentence from him had caused her much suffering in prison.

During the three years of imprisonment and even the court hearing, no one dared to accept her case after hearing that it was isaac’s fiancée who had died in the car accident.

Even the false evidence and those witnesses who unanimously accused her of drinking made her question whether he was the one behind it all.

This man was like her nightmare who pressed her down so hard that she could barely breathe. Ever since she had discovered his true identity, whenever he had approached her, her body could not help but stiffen.

She would tremble whenever she had any sort of physical contact with him.

How could she keep such a man by her side?

After taking a deep breath, she tried to suppress the trembling in her body and said to him, “Yes, I want to refuse.”

His face fell, and his black eyes filled with coldness. “Do you really not want to stay with me?”

“Yeah,” she replied.

He suddenly sneered and said, “Well, I didn’t expect that one day I would be rejected by a woman. Claire think about it carefully. If you don’t have my protection, what will happen to you in Emerald City? Even if the beckett family doesn’t trouble you in the future, do you really intend to sweep the road for the rest of your life?”

She bit her lip and said, “That’s my business.”

His thin lips were pursed into an almost straight line, and an anger rose up from the bottom of his heart. For the first time, he had tried to do this kind of thing for a woman, but she did not appreciate it at all. Instead, she was trying her hardest to get away from him.

How long had it been since he was angered to this extent? He really wanted to strangle her, but he couldn’t bear to do so.

“I couldn’t bear to?!”

He couldn’t believe that that term could be used to describe himself one day. It was truly ridiculous.

Isaac then left without saying a word. It was not until this moment that claire tensed body relaxed.

When the doctor came to claire for the daily checkup, he told her that she had recovered. The blood test showed that there was no remaining drug in her system.

“Can I be discharged now?” claire asked.

“As long as Mr. Landford agrees, Miss Grays, you can leave the hospital whenever you wish,” the doctor said.

Claire felt an unspeakable feeling. So, she even needed isaac consent just to leave the hospital?“Okay, got it,” she replied.

After the doctor and nurse both left, she walked into the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. Reflected in the mirror was a delicate face on which were a pair of crescent-shaped eyebrows and almond eyes, a well-shaped nose, and pink lips. Under the light, there seemed to be a slight glimmer over her face.

Such a face would be considered pretty good in an ordinary crowd. However, around people like isaac, there was never a lack of beauty, and she seemed inadequate by comparison.

What exactly did isaac like about her? Claire smiled bitterly. Was it just because he had found her mistaking him as a homeless person at the start amusing? Was that why he had continued to keep up this brother and sister charade?

She raised her hand and gently touched her lips. The memory of him kissing her flashed in her mind.

She still remembered that Lina had once said, “claire, do you know that your lips are very beautiful?”

“Beautiful lips?” She had never paid much attention to her lips. She only knew that her lips were not ugly, but she did not feel that they were anything special.

“Yes, it’s very beautiful. Your lips’s shape give people an impulse to kiss you. Uh… it’s the kind of that most men would probably want to kiss.”

At that time, she had only thought that Lina was making fun of her. What kind of a description was that?

But now, when she thought of how isaac had kissed her on the mouth, she felt a burning hot sensation on her lips.

“Don’t think about it anymore, don’t think about it anymore!”

Clairee repeated this sentence to herself. Since isaac had said that he would give her a choice that day, he would surely keep to his word.
A man like him would not break his promise.

“Let’s just treat all of this as a dream.” It was just a dream. In her dream, she had met a man named isaac They had cherished each other and had a happy time together. When she woke up from her dream, she was still alone, just like before she had the dream.

Claire walked out of the bathroom and began to change into the clothes she had been wearing the day she had come to the hospital.

As for the rest, it was just her bag and her mobile phone There was nothing else.

Claire sat quietly on the sofa of the hospital room and waited for isaac.

In the Landford Residence, nathan walked to isaac's side and said, “Mr. Landford Miss gray is waiting for you in the hospital room. She said that she wants to be discharged from the hospital.”

Nathan tone was cautious. Ever since Mr. Landford had left the hospital yesterday, he had been staying in the house and had not gone to the hospital.

It could be said that he was acting abnormally.

It should be noted that Mr. Landford had been mostly staying in the hospital until yesterday.

Isaac pursed his thin lips tightly. After a while, he said, “Other than wanting to be discharged from the hospital, did she say anything else?”

“No nathan said as he watched his Boss’s face sink again.Nathan did not dare to utter a word. He simply waited to one side.
