"I've been thinking about you for a long time. And I feel like Clarke doesn't deserve you and the kids. So I put a little test, whether he will continue loving you or cheat instead."
"Turns out, he cheated on you in full consciousness. I can't stretch how disappointed I am. That's why I want to take you away from him."
Reed's grieving gaze was so convincing that Gaius was dazed for a good while. He didn't know how to swallow this truth.
Of course, he knew what Reed did was wrong. He basically intended to ruin his marriage with Clarke, but… even without Reed interfering, the marriage was deemed to fall in the end.
"You… You don't need to do that much…" Gaius said weakly. He tried to pull his hand from Reed's grip to no avail. "Y—You can release my hand now…."
