After her rebirth

Brynn held her phone and sent a message, then looked at Desmond with a happy face, "You know what? You're the first guy willing to go shopping with me."

Desmond was a bit nervous, his expression slightly unnatural, "Is that so?"

He wasn't in the mood to listen to this at the moment, so his attitude was somewhat perfunctory.

Brynn was immersed in her own happiness and didn't notice anything, "Of course. Although I've been in relationships, those guys... well, never mind. They were all very career-oriented, completely focused on their work."

"My parents like that kind of person. But what's the use? Life... if you can't see each other for years, how can you build a relationship? Even if there is a relationship, it would probably fade."

"I think you're great. You have a career, but you haven't completely abandoned your life..."

Brynn rambled on, but Desmond didn't really listen to any of it.

His eyes were constantly drifting towards Clara's thin figure.

He had just seen her yesterday, but Clara seemed much thinner today. Although he wasn't close, he could still sense Clara's condition.

He was in pain too.

"Hey..." Brynn waved her hand in front of Desmond, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Desmond was a bit restless, then said, "Um, Brynn, my stomach feels a bit uncomfortable, I need to go to the restroom."

Brynn nodded.

Desmond thought he should get away from here. The place was crowded, and Clara would leave after buying her dessert.

Desmond turned his body, covering his face, trying to avoid Clara, but accidentally bumped into someone carrying a dessert, spilling everything on himself.

The person complained first, "How do you walk? Didn't you see I was carrying something?"

Desmond's face turned dark.

He had no choice but to make peace, "I'm sorry."

"Sorry isn't enough!" The person was relentless, grabbing Desmond, "Pay for it!"

Desmond had to take out his wallet and give some money.

The person was satisfied, took the money, and went to buy more dessert.

"Desmond..." At this moment, Clara's voice came.

Desmond quickened his pace to leave, but Clara blocked him, her eyes still red, "Am I dreaming?"

Desmond smiled awkwardly, "Clara, I'm not feeling well right now, let's talk later."

But Clara, having finally seen Desmond, wasn't going to let him go so easily, "You still think about me, don't you?"

Her eyes were filled with resentment, "This shop is where we used to come often. You even got the most prestigious card here so we wouldn't have to wait in line."

"This card was originally yours." At some point, Brynn had walked over and clearly heard their conversation.

The shop was in a mall, open on all sides, so everything was visible.

It had been four or five minutes since Desmond left and had the altercation with the passerby until Clara stopped him. Brynn wasn't deaf, so she naturally noticed the commotion.

She was initially worried that Desmond might be in some trouble, but she didn't expect to hear all this.

Clara saw Brynn, then looked at Desmond, who didn't dare to meet her eyes, and understood everything.

She sneered and pointed at Brynn, questioning, "Is this the reason you want to break off our engagement?"

Desmond remained silent.

He felt that anything he said now would be wrong.

"Please move aside." The three of them were blocking one of the shop's entrances,

making the already narrow space even more cramped.

The three of them, being polite, moved to a quieter spot to talk.

Brynn glared at Desmond, full of displeasure, "What's going on? What engagement? Did you have a marriage agreement with her?"

Desmond felt his head was about to explode, not daring to look at Clara, he could only stare at Brynn and say, "She is my ex-girlfriend, maybe a bit reluctant, so... she's talking nonsense."

Hearing this, Clara sneered.

She stared at Desmond with her red, rabbit-like eyes, "Ex-girlfriend?"

He even denied their engagement.

The Desmond she knew wasn't like this.

Why?

Brynn understood, then looked at Clara, "We're all adults, since you've broken up, don't make a fuss."

Then, she tilted her head and looked at Clara, sincerely suggesting, "You're not bad looking, you don't need to cling on like this. Part on good terms, don't make it too embarrassing."

Clara looked at Brynn coldly, "This is between Desmond and me, it has nothing to do with you."

Brynn was unhappy, "No, you're just his past. Now it's me and Desmond's date, you're ruining our date, how does it have nothing to do with me?"

"You..." Clara was furious.

She didn't confront her directly, just looked at Desmond with a weak expression, "Desmond, are you really going to let her bully me?"

Desmond frowned.

Although Clara had always been like this, he now knew what he was doing.

He absolutely couldn't show any attachment to Clara in front of Brynn.

So, Desmond said coldly, "Brynn is straightforward, but she's right, you are indeed interrupting our date."

Clara felt like the sky was falling.

In the past, whenever she acted weak, Desmond would immediately defend her.

But this time, Desmond actually chose to defend the woman in front of him.

Could it be that Desmond had really changed his heart?

Was it not the kind of so-called reason she thought?

But when did it start?

And Brynn showed a satisfied smile, "Miss, Desmond has said so, please have some self-awareness, okay? He has the gentlemanly demeanor not to argue with you, but I won't be so polite."

Clara clutched her chest, feeling extremely angry.

She looked at Desmond with a face full of resentment, "Fine, fine... I'll go..."

Clara turned around.

But she hadn't walked a few steps before she wobbled and fell to the ground.

Many people around immediately screamed.

"Clara..." Desmond's face changed dramatically, he rushed over and held her, "Clara, are you okay, don't scare me."

"I, I feel so bad..." Clara looked weak, leaning only in Desmond's arms, "Maybe... I'm having an attack."

Without another word, Desmond immediately picked up Clara and was about to leave. Brynn chased after him for a few steps, "Desmond, where are you going?"

"To the hospital." Desmond apologized to Brynn with a serious face, "I'm sorry, Clara

has always been in poor health."

Desmond walked quickly, disappearing in a few steps.

Brynn was stunned.

So, Desmond just left her like that?
