Chapter 887

Chapter 887:

Clayton lifted Kallie in his arms, struck by how light she felt. Sadness gnawed at him. Kallie’s therapist had been his connection, though Kallie never knew. He’d instructed the therapist to persuade her to let go of Jake, but Kallie resisted, rejecting all advice and medication, and her health had suffered for it.

Clayton gazed at Kallie’s pale yet pretty face, a fragile blend of illness and vulnerability. Something stirred within him, and on impulse, he leaned down and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead. He knew she’d be furious, but maybe this was his opportunity. He wasn’t ready to give up.

Instead of rushing Kallie to the hospital, Clayton held her close, whispering, “Kallie, you don’t acknowledge my love for you, but that’s fine. I’ll prove my love in my way. I’ll prove that no one loves you more than I do. If there were no trace of Jake in your life, would you finally consider me?”

An absurd thought crept into Clayton’s mind. Kallie couldn’t move on from Jake partly because of their children. What if those three children were no longer there? She wouldn’t consider committing suicide by then, would she? How could that be? No one with so much to live for would willingly choose death.

Perhaps it was time to change his strategy.

As Clayton pondered this, dawn approached, and an ambulance finally arrived. Though Kallie was just exhausted and battling a cold, Clayton collapsed. When Kallie woke up, she learned Clayton had found her, but the details were unclear as to how they’d gotten down.
