Chapter 98: I Will Marry You
He married her despite clearly knowing that she was taking advantage of him to take revenge on her ex-boyfriend.
The marriage was a mixture of good and bad. He was not good at lying and was very nervous every time she asked him about introducing her to his family.
The reason that he ignored her request and found excuses was that he had an unshakable feeling of guilt.
He had even considered delaying telling her the truth until after they would have children.
But obviously, he didn’t get the chance, as Selene ended their marriage several months later.
Hearing Clint’s careful explanation, Selene felt mixed emotions but hid them deep in her mind.
She thought that she shouldn’t be emotionally touched by the story, as he had lied to her from the very beginning.
The whole story made her out to be an idiot.
But strangely, she couldn’t help but feel moved.
Selene thought she lacked the resolve to allow this feeling to cloud her mind.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Clint carefully checked her frozen expression, then smiled. “But don’t worry. I won’t lie to you again, I promise. It’s been hard living with the guilt of lying these past years.”
“Yet you still did it.” Selene curled her lips.
“Just let bygones be bygones. Hopefully, we will have a baby girl who will be as cute as you.”
“You just called me ‘cold’ in your story.” Selene rolled her eyes.
“No. You’re very cute when you try to hide your emotions.”
“Who’s hiding their emotions?” Selene retorted angrily.
“Okay, it’s me.” Then, Clint picked her up and carried her to the living room. “Have you forgotten about last night? I’ll help you remember.”
“No. I need to take a shower first.” Selene struggled down from his grasp.
“Okay. I’ll join you in the shower.”
This inevitably ended up in lovemaking from the bathroom to bed.
Selene was in a lust-driven frenzy, and she used nearly her full strength to bite and scratch at him. But Clint didn’t stop her but enjoyed the passion she displayed. She had never acted like this before.
The next morning, when Selene woke up, she felt a slight pain in her back, and when she turned, she saw the sleeping form of a man. The lighting was very dim.
The sunlight shone through the curtain, lighting up his face. He looked very gentle and seemed radically different from what he was like in daily life.
There were several lipstick marks on his face.
Selene smiled and touched his face with her hand.
Clint’s eyes fluttered open.
He propped himself up on his arm. He looked confused as if he didn’t know what had happened.
Selene smiled and remembered their first one-night stand and deliberately said, “Sorry, Mr. Denovan. I didn’t know-”
Clint obviously remembered the conversation she was referring to. He touched his face and smiled. “It’s okay, Miss Morris. It was an accident…”
“It’s my fault, Mr. Denovan. If you need any compensation, please let me know. I will do what I can.” Selene continued her act.
“What if I ask you to marry me?” Clint smiled happily.
This time, the roles were reversed.
They remembered that day very clearly.
“No problem. I will marry you.” Selene was very touched and smiled. “But this time, let’s not keep it a secret.”
“Okay, I promise I won’t keep any more secrets from you,” Clint said, giving Selene a quick kiss on the lips.
Surprised, Selene slapped his face gently. “Why are you being so affectionate today? It’s not like you. You’re usually distant and aloof.”
Clint laughed and hugged her tightly. “I’m just owning up to what happened last night,” he whispered in her ear, making her blush.
Thinking about their passionate lovemaking from the night before, which left her body sore, Selene pinched Clint’s cheeks teasingly. “Quit talking nonsense, you mischievous guy! You nearly broke me.”
Clint playfully grabbed her hands and then sucked on her fingers, sending shivers down her spine like electricity, awakening her strong desire.
“Did you enjoy that?” Clint winked at her, noticing her flushed face.
Selene pouted and snorted, pulling her hands away. “Keep dreaming. You only just proposed to me, and now you’re using my weakness against me.”
Clint laughed heartily, relaxing his hold on her slightly. “What else can I do? I missed you so much, and it’s your fault for being away for so long.”
He lay back on the bed, watching Selene as she jumped off the bed and started gathering their clothes.
Selene quickly got dressed and then handed Clint his clothes, urging him, “Hurry up and get dressed. It’s already past nine in the morning,” she said, glancing at the wall clock.
Clint lazily sat on the bed, taking the clothes from her, but instead of putting them on, he grinned widely and said, “Mrs. Denovon, could you please do me the favor of dressing me?”
Selene raised an eyebrow and snorted, “Did I hear you right? You just called me Mrs. Denovon. We got divorced a year ago, remember?”
Clint grinned back. “Come on, we slept together again last night, and I proposed an hour ago. You said yes and agreed to marry me again. Are you going back on your word?”
Selene rolled her eyes, knowing she couldn’t win any arguments with him. She let out a resigned sigh, “Fine!” Sitting on the bed, she grabbed Clint’s clothes, but before she could put them on him, he suddenly pulled her and pushed her onto the bed.
Lying there defenseless, she glared at him. “Mr. Denovon, it’s getting late, and I’m hungry. Are you still playing these teasing games?”
Ignoring her, Clint leaned down and captured her lips in a passionate kiss. His hands roamed freely over her body, instantly weakening her.
Selene gasped for air as Clint briefly left her lips and began moving down her body. His intense movements made Selene groan inwardly, and before she could protest, Clint had already buried himself inside her.
Sweat poured from his body as he moved with intensity, and Selene responded the same way.
Clint’s eyes never left hers, and he looked even more handsome as he moved in and out of her. After an hour, Clint collapsed beside her, his arms wrapping around her small waist.
“Happy?” he murmured.
Selene simply nodded, but then her stomach growled, reminding her how hungry she was. “I’m really hungry,” she said.
Clint got up, quickly put on his clothes, and then leaned back onto the bed, giving Selene another deep kiss on her lips.
“I’ll cook breakfast for us. You should take a bath after I go to the kitchen.”
Once Clint disappeared, Selene quickly sat up on the bed, but she felt a severe soreness in her lower body, reminding her of their intimate moment just a while ago. Blushing, she slowly got off the bed and went to the bathroom to take a bath.
An hour later, feeling refreshed after her shower, Selene looked at herself in the mirror and noticed several hickeys all over her neck and cleavage, obviously left by Clint.
She hurriedly opened the second drawer, where she kept some of her makeup neatly organized. Grabbing her concealer, she applied it to cover up the kiss marks. Once done, she headed to the dining room.
