Your Love Is But a Dream (Clara and Wren)

Clara was stunned into silence by Wien's words.

She had always believed that Wren had feelings for tvy, that he kept pushing her away because he loved Ivy, and that he lowered his bottom line repeatedly for her, hurting Clara in the process,

But now, Wren was telling her he had never even considered marrying Ivy, and the person he wanted to marry was her

For a moment, Clara didn't know how to tract.

The last time Wren confessed to her, she had assumed it was simply because he had grown used to her presence after all these years and that he came looking her because he didn't want to break the habit of having her around.

But now, everything had unraveled. The truth was something else entirely.

Seeing her silence, Wren continued, "You asked me earlier if I would have let you study in Uthuria if your hand hadn't been injured.noveldrama

"I wouldn't have because I couldn't bear for you to leave me. I didn't want to be without you. I was afraid that once you left, you'd never come back

"I wanted to keep you by my side. But I never considered how much pain that would bring you.

"And I regret it deeply every time I think about it now. If I hadn't been so selfish and let you go earlier, maybe none of what happened after would have ever happened

on him completely.

He had acted out of selfishness, but he never imagined that one selfish decision would destroy her dreams and make her give up on h "What's the point of bringing all this up now? It's done. Let's past leave it in the past." Clara tilted her head up, forcing back the tears. She refused to let Wren see any weakness in her.

"Honestly, I'm doing well now, and I've found a new direction in life. We both should be looking ahead, shouldn't we?

"And besides, I never really had the right to blame you for what happened back then. You raised me. I owe you a debt I can never repay. And you weren't obligated

to save mr.

When shut his eyes in pain.

The words he had once said to her so cruelly had come back like a boomerang, cutting him open, Only now did he realize how much they hurt

“But no matter what, I still have to thank you for saving me. the other night. If you hadn't shown up when you did, I'd probably be dead by now."

When Clara saw the pain on Wren's face, a dull ache rose in her chest. She forced a smile, trying to make it all seem casual. “Wren, let's just let the past go.”

She no longer wanted to dwell on the things that couldn't be undone. And she didn't want to see Wren trapped in guilt and regret.

Even if they could never go back to what they once were, he was still family to her. That had been decided the day she was seven years old-when Wren had taken her hand in the snow

Being siblings and having a family connection wasn't so bad. At least star wasn't alone in this world.

Clara pushed back her tears with all her strength.

Wren could no longer hold his back, as his eyes reddened.

He knew that they had reached a dead end. Being siblings was the best resolution for them.

But how was he supposed to let go? How could he bear to let go?

Clara was the only light that had ever entered his world. After his mother's death, everything had been bleak and colorless until she came along and brought

wath backinto his life.

They were inseparable after all these years of relying on each other. It was already written into their bones.

Tids wasn't something he could just move on from, for II wası't that stouple

But this was what dara wanted.

Wren shut his eyes for a moment, then stood up. When he sat back down, his expression had tegained its usual composure.

"Alright." He met Clara's gaze, his voice steady. "I promise you.”

"When will you be going back?" she asked, leaning against the headboard as she watched Idm quietly.
