Chapter 30 Do You Still Love Her?

Many years ago, the Sierra Valley kidnapping case shocked the entire city. The kidnappers had taken two children from wealthy families, and in the end, only one boy managed to escape.
That same year, Clara was rescued by the orphanage director and lost all memories of her past. She later heard the director mention the kidnapping, and every time she did, it felt like a sharp pain in her heart.
When the kidnapping case was brought up, Archer’s eyes darkened. The girl he had locked away in his heart for so long had always seemed like a distant memory. But even now, talking about her
still hurt.
Mira said. “Ms. Mae, do you know about the Sierra Valley kidnapping case?”
Clara nodded. “I grew up in the Sierra Valley orphanage. The case was a national sensation, so I heard some of the discussions.”
Archer raised an eyebrow and looked at Clara. “What a coincidence, then you two must know each other.”
Mira had also grown up in that orphanage too.
Clara studied Mira carefully. “I’ve always thought she looked familiar, but I just couldn’t remember where I had seen her.
The more Clara looked, the more familiar Mira’s eyes seemed, but her face was strange.
Mira laughed awkwardly. “After I saved Archer, the Dane family, in gratitude, funded my studies. abroad. Maybe we just missed each other, so that’s why we didn’t meet before.”
A subtle gleam flashed in Mira’s eyes as she studied Clara closely. It suddenly hit her. How could it be her?
“Oh, I see.”
Clara lost interest in asking further questions. She looked at Archer, who was absentmindedly. playing with his glass.
Clara, deep in thought, wondered, What’s going on with him?
The atmosphere grew awkward.
Mira spoke again, “Ms. Mae, I’ve known Archer for over ten years, and we’ve been together for three. Not only do we share a bond of life and death, but we also love each other. I know him better than you do. Archer is just afraid of the media’s negative attention, which is why he acts so distant. But I believe he still loves me. I just want to be by his side, without caring about
any labels. I hope you won’t make things difficult for me.”
“Archer, let me stay with you, okay?”

As she spoke, Mira reached to hold his hand, but Archer frowned and tried to pull away. However, Mira wouldn’t let go, burying her face in his chest.
Archer’s brows furrowed, clearly frustrated.
He wanted to push her away but didn’t want to make things worse in front of others. After all, they’d known each other for over ten years, and she was a public figure.
Watching them, Clara felt an uncomfortable surge of irritation.
Without changing her expression, Clara remarked, “Tsk, some girls these days really have no sense of boundaries, eagerly playing the role of mistress.”
She subtly implied that Mira was the mistress.
Mira’s face turned pale with a hint of redness. “Ms. Mac, you’re the one who ruined my relationship with Archer. You’re the real mistress.”
Clara replied, “Well, you can’t blame fate. Besides, no one knows you and Archer were ever a o one knows you and Archer were ever a couple. Everyone just knows that I’m his wife. Do you think they’ll criticize me or you?”
“You!” Mira was furious. “Archer, look at how she’s bullying me!”
“Enough, Mira. Stop making a scene. If you keep this up, you won’t even have any friends left,” Archer snapped.
Archer checked the time, then stood up and took Clara’s hand. “It’s getting late. We’re heading home. You can do whatever you want.
With that, he led Clara out, and she glanced back to see Mira fuming, stomping her feet. Her face twisted comically.
Mira’s eyes turned cold as she watched them leave. Why is this woman here again? Didn’t she…
Suddenly, a thought struck her. She called for her driver. She needed to go to Corvella right away to confirm something.
In the car, Archer drove seriously, while Clara observed him closely. Then, with a serious look, she asked, “Archer, do you still love Ms. Mira?”
Archer’s hand faltered on the wheel as he fell into deep thought. Do I still love Mira?
Clara looked at him, her heart quietly bracing itself. She couldn’t help but was lost in thought. If he really still loved Mira, what should I do?
