Chapter 89 Raymond's Kiss
Bethany couldn't believe her eyes when seeing them. They looked as harmonious as a real family. And
there was no feeling of strangeness.
"Beth, you came in time. Tyrone and I just had afternoon tea with Daddy. We will have dinner together
later."
Bethany was shocked to hear Shayla call Raymond Daddy, so she asked, "What did you call him?
Daddy?"
Damion hurriedly explained, "Beth, don't be angry. Shayla said you two would get married soon, so we
should call him Daddy to get used to it in advance."
Hearing this, Bethany wished she could hit Shayla's head off.
"Why did you talk such nonsense, Shayla?"
Shayla retorted, "I did not talk nonsense. Adults are not as honest as children! It's OK if you get
married. There is no need to hide it from us."
Before Bethany could reply, Raymond interrupted, "Shayla is right. We, adults, do need to reflect on our
behaviors."
When the three people echoed each other, Bethany felt like an outsider.
When it was time for dinner, Raymond took them to a villa with a particularly good environment.
They had the meal in a pavilion between a mountain and a river. The murmuring running water was at
their feet, and the willows were hanging down the bank behind them. They could hear kingfishers
singing and enjoy the beautiful green mountain in the distance. So, it was pleasant.
Shayla happily exclaimed, "The place is beautiful. Daddy, Beth, you should have your honeymoon
here."
Damion said, "You should travel around the world on your honeymoon. It would be too perfunctory to
spend your honeymoon here. Beth, you must not agree!"
Shayla quickly agreed, "Yes! You should travel around the world."
When Bethany was about to say something, Raymond immediately gave her a wink, implying that she
should not dampen the children's spirits. So, she could only swallow back the words on the tip of her
tongue.
During the meal, the two kids kept calling Raymond Daddy. Bethany was helpless, thinking they liked
him because of his wealth.
Seeing the two kids almost finish eating, Raymond said, "Tyrone, there is a children's playground in the
villa. Take Shayla to play after you finish eating."
Shayla said, "Daddy, I understand! You don't want us to disturb your date. I'm full. Tyrone, let's go."
"Okay."
Damion always spoiled Shayla and hoped his father and Beth would get married. So, when there was
an opportunity to let them be alone with each other, he actively cooperated.
Bethany had been holding back her anger for a long time. After the kids ran away, she couldn't help
asking, "What did you do to fascinate my children? How could you ask them to call you Daddy? They
should not have called you Daddy!"
"Shayla thinks they need to get used to it in advance. And I can never refuse to have such a lovely
daughter," Raymond leisurely replied.
"If you hadn't misled her, she would not have said we would get married."
Hearing this, Raymond laughed. Bethany was confused about it, so she asked, "Why are you
laughing?"
Raymond directly said, "Dr. Caldwell, how could you blame your victim? If Shayla hadn't seen the
watch I sent to you on your bedside table, she wouldn't have thought we would get married."
Hearing him mention the watch, Bethany blushed and felt so embarrassed that she wished she could
sink into the ground. She had not expected the little brats to betray her so soon.
When she felt her face burning, Raymond suddenly approached her. Under his intense gaze, she
blushed even more.
"I didn't wrong you when saying you were hypocritical. You said so much to refuse it when I gave it to
you. But after I threw it into the trash can, you picked it up!"
Bethany tightly clutched her clothes, feeling extremely embarrassed.
"Answer me! Why did you secretly pick that watch up?"
Raymond's questioning tone sounded sexy, so Bethany's face flushed more, and her heart began
racing.
"It is a valuable thing, so I thought you should not have thrown it in the trash can! I can return it..."
Before she could finish speaking, he suddenly approached her more. His lips were so close to hers that
she didn't dare to move. As long as she slightly moved, her lips would touch his. But she could not
retreat because her back was leaning against the pillar behind her.
"Bethany, I can't see you through."
Raymond was closely looking at her but couldn't see her through, feeling too many secrets were
hidden in her eyes.
The more he couldn't see her through, the more he wanted to know about her.
"I don't know what you want."
He had thought she wanted to climb up, so he had given her the opportunity. But she was resistant to
it. However, if she were just playing with him, she would have been much more big-hearted.
This was a soul-crushing question for Bethany. She wanted to avoid his gaze but failed because he
was too aggressive.
Her purpose was to find her son. Her failed relationship with Adriel and her miserable marriage made
her unable to open her heart. She didn't dare to start another relationship because she was afraid of
being hurt again.
"Can't you forget that man?" Raymond asked.
That man? Who? Adriel?
Bethany's mind was messy.
"Answer me!"
Raymond wanted to know the answer very much because of his desire to conquer and do something
else.
Under his pressing questioning, Bethany decisively replied, "No! He is a dead man in my heart."
During the first two years of Adriel's disappearance, she wanted to find him and get an answer. She
had wanted to ask why he had disappeared and whether he had loved her. But after many years, she
had long moved on. They had already broken up, so there was no point in asking about such things.
Such a wordless ending could give each other more dignity.
"Really?"
"Yes! I've long moved on."
"If so, you should forget about him!" Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
As soon as finishing speaking, he suddenly got excited and kissed her.
He had forcibly kissed her before. But this time, she felt it was different. There was no intention of
punishment. His kiss was like a conquest or a method to relieve his feelings.
Bethany looked at him in panic. They were so close that she saw his concentration and seriousness.
Therefore, she could only close her eyes.
Suddenly, his phone rang. Hearing this, she felt as if seeing a life-saving straw.
"Your phone!"
She struggled to say the two words, but it was in vain.
