MY GORGEOUS WIFE IS AN EX-CONVICT

Chapter 12

After a few more days, the scar on her palm would fade away, just like the memory of what had happened between her and isaac As time passed, it would disappear as if nothing had happened.

Claire gently balled her hands into fists and walked out of the Sanitation Service Center.

Before she could get very far, a silver-grey Porsche blocked her way. A slender figure got out of the car. It was the protagonist who had been being discussed by the girls in the

Sanitation Service Center-Blake.

“Is there something wrong?” claire asked.

“I want to treat you to a meal to thank you,” Blake said. He directly opened the passenger seat door, clearly indicating that he wanted claire to get into the car.

“I didn’t do anything to help you with your bracelet, so you don’t need to thank me,” claire said, raising her foot to try to get past him.

However, just after she had taken a step, he suddenly raised his hand and blocked her way. His phoenix eyes were fixed on her, but his gaze seemed to be concealed behind a facade, flashing with a kind of look that she couldn’t understand.

“I’m not used to owing favors, so I must treat you to this meal,” he said in a tone that could not be refused, the look in hist phoenix eyes becoming deeper.

Claire bit her lip slightly. A person like Blake probably hadn’t been rejected by others before. The more she refused, the more likely it was that the other party would become more and more persistent. It was better for her to go and eat this meal.

Anyway, if he really wanted to do something bad to her, he would have already done so last night!

Claire did not say anything else and sat in the passenger’s seat.

Blake closed the door, walked back to the driver’s seat, and drove off.

Along the way, claire could not help but smile bitterly as she looked out at the view that was constantly flashing past. Back when she had just graduated from college and become a lawyer, she had felt that everything could be reasoned out.

However, after experiencing so much, she realized that sometimes, it simply depended on whether the other party wanted to be reasoned with.

If the other party didn’t want to listen to reason, then she wouldn’t even have a chance to reason with them.

“What are you thinking about?” Blake’s voice suddenly sounded from within the car.

“I’m thinking about that silver bracelet. It seems to be of great importance to you,” she said casually.

A faint smile appeared on blake indifferent face. “Mm, it’s very important.”

“Since it’s so important, will the person who stole it yesterday have a miserable end?” she asked.

He glanced at her from the corner of his eyes and said, “Well, yes, quite miserable.”

His voice was very light, but she thought, “I’m afraid that the person who stole from him really will not meet a good end.”

The car stopped in front of a restaurant.

Claire knew that this restaurant was rather famous in

Emerald City. However, it was very difficult to book a table,

and the prices were very high. Eating a simple meal would cost the equivalent of an ordinary person’s salary of one or two years, let alone if one were to order some special dishes. Ordinary people could not afford it at all.

However, for a person like Blake coming here for a meal was probably an extremely common occurrence.

The two of them entered the restaurant. Blake took claire into a private room.

“What would you like to eat?” Blake asked.

“Anything is fine claire replied.

Finally, it was Blake who ordered. With a full table of dishes the spread was unusually abundant.

As claire ate the dishes, she still could not figure out exactly what Blake wanted to do. Did he really just want to thank her, so he was treating her to a meal?

“Miss grey used to be mayer's girlfriend?” blake suddenly asked halfway through the meal.

Claire's hand suddenly froze on the chopsticks. She lowered her head and said, “Yes.” Indeed, people like him would have already investigated her thoroughly before having a meal with her.

“The reason you broke up with him was because of the car accident that year?” he continued to ask.

“So what if it was?” She lifted her head and asked back, “Mr. Wills, the person whom I knocked down and killed back then. was isaac’s fiancée. In Emerald City, who would dare to associate with me?”

“I dare,” he said.

Claire was stunned. She looked at the person in front of him with a surprised expression, and her mind suddenly went blank.

“What do you think? Do you want to try being with me?” he asked.

Hearing these words, not only did claire not have any ambiguous feelings, she felt her scalp go numb. The man in front of her, with a distant and indifferent expression on his face, had said these words as if she was just an object to him.

Just an object that he had taken an interest in.

“As far as I know, Mr. Will, you seem to have gotten a new girlfriend just recently,” she said, referring to the gossip she had heard at the Sanitation Service Center earlier.

“Yes, there’s indeed a woman, but if you go out with me, I will break up with her,” he said in a serious tone.

What was he joking about!? Claire suddenly had a funny feeling. It seemed that this Crown Prince was really casual when it came to getting into a relationship with someone.

“Why?” She was puzzled. When it came to her appearance,

it had been a few years ago, she wouldn’t have looked too bad. However, after three years of imprisonment, in addition to facing the sun and wind every day and neglecting proper maintenance, there was really nothing about her that could attract anyone’s attention.

“Your face looks pretty good. I like it,” he said.

“My face?” She couldn’t help touching her face. She didn’t think that her face was any better than those of the actresses in the entertainment industry.

What’s more, there were a variety of beautiful actresses who were willing to be his girlfriend.

“Especially your eyes,” he said. “Your eyes are very beautiful,

yet your gaze is too bitter and too heavy.”

As he said this, his eyes kept staring into hers. “What do you think? Do you want to date me?”

He appeared casual, but the look in his eyes seemed to penetrate her, making her unable to breathe.

Claire stood up abruptly. “I’m going to the ladies room.” She looked for an excuse and then left the private room in a hurry.

Blake gently lowered his eyes, a hint of playfulness appearing around the corners of his lips.

In a daze,claire looked at her own face in the washroom’s mirror. She had not applied makeup on her thin face. It was only acceptable at most. As for her eyes, she had never thought that her eyes were beautiful. At most, they were pleasant-looking. They were definitely not the kind of eyes that would stun people.

Could it be that Blake had truly taken a fancy to her? Or was this just a whim of his? Just like isasc he felt that she was novel and wanted to play a game?

When she thought of isasc, claire could only feel a stabbing pain in her heart once again.

Her Jay was no longer there. That man in her heart, who had been so pure and clean, was no longer there.

Shaking her head, claire had just walked out of the washroom when someone suddenly rushed in front of her, raised a hand, and slapped her.
