Claire's POV
I was stunned, as I had never expected Evander to share our relationship with anyone. If only he did that in the past.
However, now that I was getting to know him slowly, I could understand why he was so reluctant for anyone to know about me, let alone show me off to the world.
He was trying to protect me all this time. And I was indulgent in my own insecurities and fear that I couldn't even get to know how his life had been in the past.
I blinked, my emotions tangling into a knot that I couldn't put my finger on. Flattered? Annoyed? Overwhelmed? I couldn't decide. The words spilled out before I could stop them. "Mr. Storme… I am not sure what you have heard, but there is nothing left between me and Mr. Kensington. Whatever we had… it's over."
