Chapter 435 A One-Man Show_1

"Claudia, I'm so happy, I always thought it was just me who was holding on..."

Performing a solo act.

That's why he had the thought of giving up on her.

Although he loved her very much, his continued efforts without any reciprocation left him feeling down and desperate, especially when his beloved mother was sick, he felt utterly alone.

Mother Reed's illness was also due to Mark's disappearance; her constant worry and unrest led to her health collapsing.

The Reeds blamed everything on Claudia, and were even more opposed to letting her into the family.

Just as Claudia had said, Mark, caught in the middle, was indeed very tired.

He looked at her, his heart brimming with joy.

Five years, even a stone would have warmed up by now, let alone a human heart.

Mark left after finishing his meal; he hugged Claudia tightly at the door, whispering over and over into her ear, "Wait for me to come back!"

Even if he hadn't said it, she would have waited for him.
