Thinking about what he had just found out , Desmond himself found it unbelievable . He leaned in close to Damian's car and whispered . " Claudine is meeting another man . Damian's pupils contracted for a moment , but he quickly returned to normal . " Got it . Since she won't be coming to bother us , just leave her be . " Desmond thought to himself : As expected , Damian really doesn't care about Claudine . He doesn't even mind her hav- ing dinner with another man ; his heart is only set on his sister - in - law . It probably won't be long before Damian divorces Claudine ! Meanwhile , Claudine and Roberto were having a pleasant conversation . The two reminisced about many amusing stories from high school and even made plans to visit their old school in Reedport together someday . Roberto also mentioned that after going abroad back then , he had never returned . " Actually , I haven't gone back much these years either . " Claudine said . " After I got into Camberwell University , I stayed in Bronzevale for school . I only went back occasionally during the New Year . " Roberto looked at Audrey , " Why don't you go back often ? The transportation between Bronzevale and Reedport is pretty convenient . " Claudine's eyes dimmed for a moment , then she smiled and said . " The people I miss aren't there anymore , so there's no reason to go back . Otherwise , I'd just be reminded of sad mem- orics … " Hearing this , Roberto's heart suddenly tightened . Was he the one she missed ? Back then , should he have insisted ? Should he never have left at all …. 00 % 04.55 chapter37 Looking at the woman before him , he silently vowed in his heart that this time , he would never let go . After a while , a waiter knocked and entered . 1 288 Vouchers " Dear guests , it's snowing outside right now . If you're interested , you can move to our viewing deck to enjoy the snowy scenery over the river . " Roberto stood up , his eyes seeking Claudine's opinion . " This restaurant is famous for its river view . We're lucky to be here today . " Claudine said as she picked up her coat and walked out of the private room . The waiter beside them spoke . " There will also be a fireworks show arranged by another guest tonight . You two can enjoy it together later . " Claudine and Roberto followed the waiter to the viewing deck . By now , the snow was falling heavily . Snowflakes drifted down , looking especially magical under the neon lights . Claudine opened her palm , and soon a cold flake landed in her hand . She looked up at the snowy scene before her , while the man behind her gazed at her …. With a loud " bang , " fireworks suddenly shot up , bursting into brilliant colors in the sky . Claudine looked up . The huge fireworks bloomed overhead , falling together with the swirling snowflakes onto the river . It was breathtakingly beautiful ! Suddenly , cheers erupted from the nearby viewing deck . Claudine looked over and saw some familiar faces . It was Damian , along with many of his close friends ! A waiter was pushing a huge bouquet of roses over to a woman . From Claudine's angle , she could only see the woman's back , which looked familiar . It was probably the same woman she had seen at the restaurant last time . Damian walked up to the woman and presented her with an ornate box . Claudine couldn't see what was inside the box , but judging by how the girl stood on tiptoe to kiss Damian on the cheek , she must have been very pleased with the gift . She quickly looked away , refusing to let herself watch any longer . But she couldn't control the sour ache in her heart . So , Damian could also go to such lengths to create romantic surprises for a woman . It turned out that for the woman he liked , he would actively invite her into his circle . 32.7 % 08.55 chapter37 11 288 Nouchers So , Damian wasn't cold by nature - he was just cold to her … Noticing Claudine's low spirits , Roberto asked with concern . " What's wrong ? " Claudine forced a smile and said . " It's nothing . It's a bit cold out here . Let's go back inside ! " Roberto nodded . He walked beside Claudine like a gentleman , his other hand hovering protectively at her waist . " Watch your step on the stairs . " On the other viewing deck , Damian stared in the opposite direction , his eyes clouded with gloom . He had seen everything that had just happened . After seeing him , Claudine deliberately acted close to the man beside her , clearly trying to get his attention and make him jealous ! How childish and ridiculous ! Even that man was the same one he had seen at the auction last time ! Audrey , noticing his distraction , followed his gaze and happened to spot Claudine . Her expression changed slightly . " Dami , that looks like your wife . Who's the man next to her ? " Audrey's voice was just loud enough for everyone around to hear . Desmond looked over as well and shouted . 77.8 %
