Your Love Is But a Dream (Clara and Wren) novel Chapter 9

Clenching his fist, Wren turned around calmly to greet Carlisle and Shirley.

Only then did Carlisle feel better. While removing his coat, he glanced around the quiet villa. "Where's Katrina and Clara? Wasn't Clara discharged from the hospital this morning?"

"I'm not sure," answered Wren.

Carlisle eyed Wren before turning to the housekeeper beside them. "Are they not back yet?"

The housekeeper responded carefully, "Before leaving this morning, Mrs. Zachman went to Ms. Salford's room to take a few things. She never came back after that."

Wren furrowed his brows.

Carlisle stopped removing his tie, his expression filled with displeasure and anger. "The older Katrina gets, the more trouble she causes.

"She's still harping on such trivial matters, isn't she? And now, she's leaving the house with her niece as an act of protest to me?"

As someone who was involved in the matter, Shirley naturally knew what Carlisle meant. Pretending to be understanding, she said, "Carlisle, Katrina's just caught up in anger.

"Maybe she'll come back with Clara in a few days. Don't be mad at her. I don't want your relationship with her to be affected because of me."

"You're so understanding." Carlisle flashed Shirley a smile, which quickly faded as soon as he spoke about Katrina. "She's only behaving like that because she's lived a good life for too long."

Wren did not want to watch the duo's disgusting behavior anymore. Just as he was about to leave, Carlisle turned to him.

"Take Ivy to Havenbrook tomorrow for a business meeting. I've asked my secretary to book your flight. Enjoy a few days there with her and come back before the wedding."

Wren instinctively rejected, "There are still a lot of preparations to be done for the wedding—"

"You don't need to worry about that. I will get someone to take care of it," Carlisle interrupted, his tone firm and dominative.
