No Divorce? The Billionaire's Love Chase! novel Chapter 49

York stood at the bedroom door.

He couldn't get Claudia's words at the hospital out of his head—'They're the married couple.'

Overwhelmed with frustration, York went to the study to smoke.

He smoked one cigarette after another.

Late into the night, he finally found the spare key and let himself into the bedroom.

Turning on the bedside lamp, York sat on the edge of the bed. Without waking Claudia, he carefully fastened a diamond-encrusted gemstone bracelet onto her wrist.

He gently brushed a stray strand of hair from her forehead, his eyes fixed on her sleeping face.

After watching her for a long time, York finally got up to shower.

In the morning, Claudia woke up in York's arms.

With a look of disgust, she pulled away and checked the time on her phone.

It was already past eight. It was a Thursday, yet York hadn't gone to the office. He must have come home late last night after taking care of Ann.

As she was about to put her phone down, Claudia noticed the new bracelet on her left wrist. She recognized it as an item from a charity auction the previous week.

Her expression froze for a moment before she reached to undo the clasp.

York wrapped his arms around her from behind, stopping her.

Claudia struggled, but York only held her tighter. Her back was pressed against his chest, the thin fabric of their pajamas doing little to separate the warmth of their bodies.

York held her hands, admiring the bracelet on her wrist. His deep, sexy voice was husky with sleep. "I bought this at an auction the night you tried to... you know. It's a one-of-a-kind piece, the only one in the world."
