Claire woke up at around seven in the morning.
As soon as Charlie heard some movements, he hurriedly pretended to be asleep as he laid motionlessly on the floor.
After getting up, Claire stretched as she got out of bed quietly. When she looked at Charlie, who was sleeping on the floor at this time, Claire could not help but feel a little distressed. 1
Ever since Charlie married her and became the son-in-law of the Wilson family, he had been sleeping on the floor for more than three years. 2
When they first got married, Claire really did not care much about Charlie and she did not have any feelings for him.
However, after spending so many years with him, Claire did not know why she felt particularly safe with Charlie by her side. 3
Sometimes, Claire was even afraid that Charlie would suddenly leave her. 5
In this recent period of time, so much had happened a t home and it made Claire even more certain that Charlie was actually the only person she could actually rely on the most in this world. Aside from Charlie, all of her close relatives were not reliable at all. 3
Of course, there was no need to even mention her grandmother and the rest of her relatives. They did not consider her as part of their family at all. 2
As for her own mother, Claire was also completely speechless. In her mother's eyes, Claire was simply just a tool for her to reach the pinnacle of life and lead a rich and wealthy life. Even though Claire had already been married to Charlie for more than three years, Elaine was still hoping that Claire and Charlie would get a divorce just so Claire would be able to marry a rich man. 5
Moreover, Claire’s father was a confused man and it would be great if he did not cause any trouble for them outside, let alone provide her with any support a t all those critical moments. 3
Therefore, Claire felt most at ease and secure with Charlie, who was sleeping on the floor at this time. 6
Claire's heart was surging and beating frantically as she looked at Charlie. At this time, her bedroom door was suddenly pushed open. 3
