No Divorce? The Billionaire's Love Chase! novel Chapter 739

On the weekend, at the Ferguson Mansion, the entire household was bustling with preparations for Darleen and Peter’s wedding, just three days away.

“York,” Darleen announced happily, “Claudia already promised me! She’s definitely coming back for my wedding.”

The motion of York’s hand as he reviewed the guest list visibly paused.

“Okay,” he said softly, rising from his seat. “I need to take a call outside.”

As York left the living room, the mood among the other Fergusons shifted. In the three years since Claudia left, York had thrown himself almost entirely into his work. He refused to even mention marriage and had become increasingly cold and quiet. The more the elders pushed him, the more firmly he resisted. It had been quite some time since anyone had dared to bring up the subject of his marriage.

In the garden of the Ferguson estate, York stood by the outdoor pool and lit a cigarette.

Three years. Every time he heard Claudia’s name, it was like a small stone dropped into a calm lake, sending ripples through him. Three years, countless days and nights.

Claudia had given birth abroad, held her wedding abroad. Each time, he had cleared his schedule to go. But each time, he hadn’t dared to get too close. What started as suppressed self-control had turned into a deep numbness.

He had used three years to prove that time doesn’t heal everything. He had forced himself to block her out, to fight his own heart, but in the end, nothing had changed. It was all still there, buried alive in the deepest part of his heart beneath a facade of indifference.

His feelings for Claudia were like a time bomb, ready to detonate at the slightest touch. He was afraid of losing control, of losing his mind, of showing his love for her in the ugliest way possible. And so, the only thing he could do was stay away.
