Cecilia dragged Clarence along with her as she went to stand in front of Miranda.

Miranda was shocked. She had never imagined Clarence would show up here without a prior announcement. A hint of panic flashed across her pretty face.

“What… what are you doing here?”

“Dear, didn’t you say you were at work?” Clarence’s knuckles cracked as he curled his hands into fists and hid them in the sleeves of his shirt.

Miranda immediately realized what was going on. “Have you been stalking me again?

“Clarence Howard, are you a pervert or something?

“You stalked me before, and now you’re stalking me again. Do you think I need to submit a report to you before I go anywhere?”

People nearby stopped walking to watch Miranda losing her temper.

“Haha, I think you’ve made a mistake, Ms. Murphy. Clarence was not stalking you.

“I just happened to see you here with this man, which is why I called him and let him know,” Cecilia said, a disgusted look in her eyes.

Miranda frowned. “You again!

“Clarence, haven’t I warned you to stay away from her?”

“Hey!” Cecilia yelped. “What kind of double standard is this?

“Miranda Murphy, you’re so two-faced!

“Clarence is my brother. Who are you to stop me from seeing him?

“As for you, you lied to your husband and said you were at work, but you’re here on a date with some strange man. How do you plan to explain this?”

Clarence’s eyes were red. “Dear, who is he?”

“He’s…” Miranda seemed to not know what to say.

Just then, the man stood up and smiled as he said, “You’re Miranda’s husband, right?

“Let me introduce myself. My name is Sheldon Clark. I’m Miranda’s ex-boyfriend.

“I’ve returned to ask Miranda to be my girlfriend once again.”

“Ex-boyfriend...” Clarence’s pupils shrank as a sudden, inexplicable pain stabbed his heart.

Cecilia raged, “Miranda Murphy, you’re disgusting!

“Clarence is so in love with you, yet you’re still fooling around with your ex-boyfriend?”

Miranda tried to explain, but Sheldon stopped her speaking. “There’s never been any love between Miranda and Clarence. The only reason they got married was Miranda’s grandfather.

“We wouldn’t have broken up in the first place if it hadn’t been for her grandfather.

“Miranda is going to marry me once she finalizes her divorce!”

The sudden news was like a slap to Clarence’s face!

Clarence’s face was pale. “Miranda, is that really what you’re going to do?”

“Pfft!”

Before Miranda could answer, Clarence felt an intense pain in his heart, and fresh blood spurted from his mouth. His vision went black as he fainted.

“Clarence!”

Both Miranda and Cecilia cried out in alarm at the same time.

However, Cecilia moved faster than Miranda and grabbed a hold of Clarence before he fell to the ground.

Cecilia raised her head to glare at Miranda. “A woman like you has no right to be with Clarence!

“F*ck off!”

“Miranda, let’s go. I heard there’s an amazing restaurant in this pedestrian zone, I’ve already booked a table for us there,” Sheldon said, a gentle smile on his face.

He walked forth to take Miranda’s hand, but she shook him off.

“Sheldon, I’m sorry! I still can’t bring myself to accept your proposal. Why don’t you go home first? I’ll take Clarence to the hospital,” Miranda said, as she took her phone out to call an ambulance.

Sheldon seemed slightly shocked, but he nodded and walked off.

Cecilia said coldly, “How fake.”

Miranda did not say anything. Instead, she bent down quietly and stared at Clarence’s pale face, a flood of different emotions washing over her.

The next time Clarence woke up, he was lying in a hospital bed.

“Miranda!” Clarence jolted awake from a nightmare.

Miranda had divorced him in the dream. Then, she simply turned around and got married to Sheldon.

“Why are you still hung up over that woman?” Cecilia asked with a wry smile on her face.

“Cecilia, what are you doing here? Where’s Miranda?” Clarence asked, a weak smile on his pale face.

Cecilia said angrily, “That b*tch returned to her office after she brought you to the hospital. She said there was something important she had to take care of there.

“I don’t get it. What could be more important than your husband’s health?”

“Did you say Miranda brought me to the hospital?” Clarence asked happily.

Cecilia asked exasperatedly, “Lil Bro, are you losing your mind?

“Look at how that woman is treating you. You still have feelings for her?”

Clarence remained silent for a long while before he nodded. “I love her very much.”

“You!”

Cecilia was furious, and she said coldly, “Yes, Miranda brought you here. She did not continue her date with that ex of hers.”

Clarence heaved a sigh of relief.

“Have some of this soup that I broiled, just for you. Bet you didn’t realize you’ve been unconscious for a whole day, right?” Cecilia said as she rolled her eyes and grabbed the thermos sitting on the table next to them. She poured out a bowl of soup and handed it to Clarence.

Cecilia said proudly, “I made this all by myself.”

“Thank you, Cecilia,” Clarence said with genuine gratefulness.

Warmth flooded his heart. He had been alive for so many years, but Cecilia was the first woman to have ever made him soup.

It tasted good.

Clarence’s heart felt warm when he finished drinking the soup Cecilia had made for him.

Cecilia took the opportunity to retrieve the Ferrari’s keys and hand them to Clarence. “The car still belongs to you. Keep it.”

“Cecilia, Miranda…”

“Shut up!”

Cecilia was beginning to lose her temper. “Look at how Miranda treats you. Why are you still listening to what she has to say?

“Who does she think she is? What does she have over you, other than an arranged marriage to you?

“She’s worth even less than a stranger to you!

“I’m giving you a sports car because I want to. Can she stop me?

“You’re a grown man. Stop making such a fuss!

“If I ask you to keep it, then you should keep it!”

“Alright.”

Clarence nodded and promised to keep it as he stuffed the car keys into his pocket.

At that moment, Clarence made a decision for himself. It would be better if he decided his own matters in the future.

Clarence’s heart had broken after learning about Miranda’s first love.

Clarence finally seemed to understand something now.

No matter how much he cared about Miranda, he, Clarence Howard, was nothing to her!

Especially when Miranda was already considering divorcing him and getting back together with her first love…

Clarence’s heart was utterly shattered.

He had done so much for Miranda, and this was what he got in return.

Clarence suddenly felt like a joke, the biggest joke in existence.

From today onwards, Clarence Howard would only live for himself!

If Miranda insisted on getting a divorce… then they would get a divorce.

A man’s journey into manhood is only complete when he is finally ready to let go of a woman he has loved!

“That’s more like it,” Cecilia said with a sweet smile on her face, not sensing the change of heart Clarence had just gone through. As she sat by Clarence’s bedside, she reached out and touched his pectorals.

“Lil Bro, it’s the middle of the night now, and there’s no one else in the room. Do you think we should do something?”
