CHAPTER 20
She knew he was very careful not to get her pregnant and that only meant one thing. He does not want to have any connection with her after their five-month deal.
Then she suddenly panicked. There were only two months left in those five months. She knew the consequences after five months. He will be gone forever from her.
Even if she is currently working in his company, it does not mean that she will stay there once Clayton is married to Faith.
Of course, she could not afford to see him in the company of another woman. She was also determined in her decision to go home with her mother to Olongapo.
Suddenly what he said came back to her mind. She wanted to bring something with her coming from him.
She wanted to have a child and she wanted Clayton to be the father.
“What are you thinking? He asked when he noticed her silence.
She looked at the man’s face. She is sure her son or daughter will be cute when he is the father.
“I think you’re really cute,” she refrained from pinching his cheek.
He smiled and kissed her on the lips.
Suddenly she made a decision.
She will be the mother of his child!
Of course, she won’t tell Clayton about her plan because she knows he will not like it. It will be her own little secret. She was so sure that she won’t regret her decision to get pregnant with Clayton’s child.
She will transfer all her love to Clayton to the child that she will be having. She will stop taking the pills so her plan will be successful.
The thought made her smile and excited.
This was the third time Clayton has accompanied her to visit her mother. He accompanies her on Sundays because there is no work.
She introduced him as her boss to her mother. Her mother was overjoyed when it became clear that she was working in the office. She was always grateful to the man. There was a magnitude of improvement in her mother’s speech and actions. She seemed to be back to normal and the only indication that she had a mild stroke once was the slight lift of the side of her lips.
After they visited her mother Clayton took her somewhere. She felt like they were dating. He was sweet and thoughtful to her so she couldn’t blame herself if there was even a little hope in her heart.
They were sitting on a bench in the park when her phone rang. He saw Clayton’s forehead frowned immediately as he looked at her. She saw Red calling. Smiling, she answered the call.
“Red! I’m glad that you called. How are you there?” She happily greeted him as she answered his call.
“Nap, I’m fine here. How about you? I immediately missed the Philippines, especially you. I was trying to call my brother but he didn’t seem to pay attention to my call. Strange, even with just one ring before he answered immediately when I call, “he said in astonishment.
She then turned to Clayton who still had a very serious face.
“M-maybe he was just busy. When are you coming back here?” She asked eagerly.
“Well, if I go home there I won’t say it to surprise you,” He said jokingly.
She laughed as well. They talked for a few more minutes. She glanced at Clayton’s behavior, who kept on changing his position on his seat as if uneasy or bored or even mad?
“Okay, Red. Be careful always. Bye,” She said goodbye to the man.
When she hung up the phone Clayton then spoke.
“Do you still have feelings for my brother?” He was not smiling when he asked that.
“Huh?” She replied surprised.
“It’s just a yes or no question, Sam,” He said annoyed.
Was he jealous of Red?
She looked closely at the man’s face and she could clearly see his dark face. Instead of being scared of him, she seemed to want to laugh out loud with joy.
He must have seen the twinkle in her eyes and thought it was for Red.
“Let’s go home,” He suddenly stood up and headed for the car.
She kept smiling.
Does Clayton love her too? She immediately followed him while asking herself silently because of how he acted.
“Clay, we’re just friends. Don’t be mad anymore, please,” She held Clayton’s hand.
He stopped and faced her.
“Why would I get mad? You’re free to be with someone else once our deal is over, just not my brother,” He said and turned around to open the door for her.
She could not move from where she was standing. She was hurt again by his behavior.
Why did she hope anymore? He still doesn’t even want her for Red because she knows even he was good and kind to her, she will forever be out of their league.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“Get in,” He commanded.
She immediately get inside the car and did not speak again. They were quiet while on the road.
“I’m going straight home,” he didn’t look at her when he said that.
She did not move in her seat. If her connection is really only up to a contract, she should speed up her actions if she really wants to have a child with him. She had already stopped taking the pills without his knowledge. He has not touched her yet since she stopped taking the pills and they have only two months remaining before Faith arrives.
“Sam?” Clayton asked with curiosity as she still wasn’t coming out of the car.
She hesitated to look at him. She will just need to thicken her face.
“I… I want you now, Clay,” her face seemed to blush when she said that.
She struggled to resist his gaze. She saw the shock on his face. That was the first time she had indicated that she wanted something to happen to them.
She slowly brought one hand to his chest and caressed it.
“W-will you grant my request?” She even inserted one of her hands inside his polo shirt.
