CHAPTER 27
She was stunned by that question. She wanted to lie but she also wanted to be true to how she felt about Clayton. She finds it difficult to absorb it without anyone even knowing.
Then even if she tells Red her true feelings for Clayton now, there is nothing wrong with that because they won’t be seeing each other anymore.
“I love your brother. I love Clayton,” she said softly even though she wanted to shout it out.
At last! She already shared with someone the true content of her heart.
Red’s smile widened even more.
“Now I know why Clayton’s mind has always been flying since Faith and I came back. I’m so happy. You deserve each other,” he said happily.
She went outside their house with him when he said goodbye already.
Clayton arrived just in time. His dark face approached them.
“She will be wearing my ring anytime soon so don’t push your ring to her anymore. You can give it to someone else, Red!” Clayton immediately turned to Red when he was in front of them.
They were both surprised by Clayton’s unexpected reaction.
“Whoa! Relax, Clayton! I’m not here to offer her marriage again,” Red said jokingly raising both hands.
Clayton and she were not smiling.
“I’m leaving, Sam. My older brother has been really scary these past few days,” Red said still laughing.
She just nodded at the man.
“I’ll go ahead, bro. Please send me a wedding invitation. It looks like you’re about to disown me as your brother,” Red laughed softly before finally leaving.
She didn’t see any happy reaction from Clayton.
“Why was he here? What was his purpose?” He still seems angry.
She looked down and just focused her gaze on her hands.
“He just apologized,” she replied shortly.
She has heard nothing from him yet for a few seconds.
“Let’s tell mom we’ll look for wedding rings,” he said afterward.
Mom? Did he already call her mother his mom?
Wedding ring?
Suddenly her mood seemed to panic. She didn’t want to let him spend something for the wedding because she knew no wedding would take place.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
“Clay, can we do it another day? I’m not feeling well,” she lied.
He suddenly became worried.
“Then let’s go to the hospital. Wait, is mom inside?” His face was in panic even his voice.
He looked cute though. Suddenly she felt sad again because she would never see him again and could never be with him again.
“What’s wrong? How are you feeling now?” He touched her face when he saw her cry.
She cried right away. Spontaneously her arms wrapped around his neck. She gave him a tight hug. She knew she would never be able to do that again when they leave for Davao.
“Sam, I’m so worried now,” he said but hugged her as well.
She was just crying and didn’t say anything. His clothes were already wet with her tears but that didn’t matter to him. He just let her cry and cry.
When she stopped crying, Clayton wiped the tears from her face with his fingers.
“Let’s go to the hospital,” he repeated when she already stopped crying.
She laughed softly at what he said.
“I’m okay. My mother said it’s normal to be too emotional when you’re pregnant,” she only replied.
Even though Clayton’s face wasn’t convinced, he didn’t do anything when she took him inside their house.
She wanted to make the most of the remaining days with him.
She had a hard time explaining to her mother why she would leave Clayton instead of marrying him. All she said was that her pregnancy was an accident and that the man was supposed to marry another woman.
She said she didn’t want to force Clayton into a wedding just because of the child she was carrying. Her mother just hugged her when she said that, especially since her tears flowed when she talked to her. She supported her decision.
Their flight would be tomorrow morning. All their things were ready, bags are packed.
Clayton invited her to eat out after he took her to a famous boutique. He said she had to check for wedding gowns so that she had an idea of what she wanted to wear on their wedding day.
There were lots of beautiful wedding gowns.
If Clayton had just declared his love for her she would definitely have grabbed his marriage offer but she knew that wouldn’t happen.
Her heart was sad that day. She didn’t know how to start all over again without him.
She saved a lot from her earnings and she and her mother will use it to start a new business, especially since she is pregnant.
She was surprised to notice Clayton’s familiar path as he was driving. She thought he would take her home already after they ate. She was shocked when they finally stopped at the condo that she always used to go to when she was his private dancer.
She turned to Clayton.
“I just missed this place,” Clayton said with a smile.
Hand in hand, they went to that memorable room on the tenth floor. When the man opened the door she saw that the room looked very different. The little stage in the middle was gone. It also has a large bed inside. The light was no longer dim there.
“I want you to remember this place like this and not the one before,” he instructed her to enter the room and then he closed the door.
He touched her face and examined it as if memorizing every part of it.
Smiling, he touched her womb and caressed it. She smiled gently at him as well.
His eyes dropped to her lips as he slowly brought his face closer to hers. She closed her eyes completely after his lips touched hers.
