Your Love Is But a Dream (Clara and Wren) novel Chapter 129

Clara's gaze lingered on the final sentence of the letter, her hands trembling slightly.

Wren had poured his heart out onto the paper, as though he had laid his soul bare.

This wasn't the Wren she knew. Her impression of him had always been of reservation and self-restraint. She never expected Wren to leave her a letter like this—one that stirred the still waters of her heart.

How could she not be moved? She was just an ordinary person among the masses. She too had emotions and desires and experienced joy and sorrow like anyone else.

Let alone the fact that this was the man she had loved for years.

Even though she had already chosen to let go and move on, her heart couldn't help but tremble when she learned that her feelings hadn't been unrequited all these years.

It turned out, they once had a chance to be together. So, their feelings for each other had always been mutual.

But why? Why had Wren pushed her away time and time again, hurting her like that?

Tears splashed onto the paper, blurring the ink. Clara's hands trembled uncontrollably, and she couldn't hold back her sobs. A sour, indescribable pain spread through her chest.

She suddenly hated Wren.

If Wren had never come to find her, if he hadn't revealed these "truths", she could have kept telling herself that he just didn't love her. He had abandoned her simply because he chose someone he liked over her. Then, she could have let it go.

But how was she going to do so now?

…

That night, Clara dreamed of many past memories with Wren.

Clara hesitated for a moment before opening the box. Seeing the familiar emerald green bracelet, she couldn't help but tremble slightly, her long lashes lowering.

Before Ivy came into the picture, Wren had always fulfilled her every request. No matter what it was, as long as it caught her eye, it would be waiting for her in her room the next day.

Even when Wren had distanced himself from her in the past four years, he never stopped sending her gifts. It was just that she was no longer his top priority.

She remembered casually mentioning the bracelet once. She had thought that Wren wouldn't take her words to heart, but he had remembered.

Yet, the more he did this, the more it reminded her of what had happened in the past.

Looking at the bracelet again, she no longer felt the affection she once had for it. She had wanted it so badly back then, but now…

She didn't want it anymore.
