Return With the Billionaire Baby Daddy-Chapter 76: Can’t believe it
Valerie couldn’t bring herself to do anything after witnessing Demian and Clara together a few hours ago. The woman sat solemnly, occasionally glancing at her son playing after breakfast and being bathed by Hannah.
The shadows of intimacy with Damian lately made her disgusted with herself, having been so happy, having high hopes, even hurting Samuel, but in the end, she also got hurt.
"I’ve hurt Samuel, I’ve faced threats from your father just to maintain our relationship. But what do I get? Why can’t you ever change? Never satisfied with one woman... Am I too bad? Or maybe you can’t let go because you also have feelings for yourself?"
"Valerie," Hannah called, coming in with a plate of croissants and a cup of coffee. "I baked your croissants..."
"Thank you," Valerie whispered.
Hannah sat beside Valerie, pitying her swollen face, her appearance slightly disheveled; her hair was hastily tied, and she hadn’t showered since morning.
"There might be something else behind that photo, something unexpected," she said.
"What?" Valerie asked, resting her head on the sofa.
"Clara might be sick or experiencing something, so Damian had to escort her to the room," Hannah replied, recalling the photo of Damian and Clara she had seen on Valerie’s phone a few hours ago. "Maybe she trapped Damian. It feels strange that Damian allowed someone to take their picture and send it to you... He probably didn’t know someone was photographing them... It’s like a trap!" she continued seriously, finding something in her mind.
Valerie remained silent, her gaze empty, still haunted by the photo and the events after the bachelor party.
"You should talk to Damian to find out the truth... Or you can ask Jerry to investigate," Hannah suggested, but in her heart, she thought, ’I have to make sure she accepts Damian again. Because if she breaks up with him, she’ll be single again, and maybe everyone will feel they have a chance to get her back, and then I’ll just go home!’
Valerie sighed deeply. "Whether it’s a trap or not, he’s still wrong. He shouldn’t meet that traitor again, let alone go with her... To the room... It’s so easy for them to desire each other again, like before... They could do it in the hotel where we were supposed to get married, while many of our relatives gathered for our wedding preparations... And in that photo... There are so many opportunities for them to have sex... Especially since that traitor looks sexy... She could arouse that bastard’s desire!" she said lazily, but ended with firmness and a look full of hatred.
"I don’t think that’s possible... He won’t make the same mistake twice..."
"He will do it and not consider it a mistake as long as I don’t know... He always likes to play behind my back!"
Hannah sighed, holding Valerie’s shoulder. "You’re still haunted by the past and the betrayal... You can’t think clearly now."
"Yes, I just keep thinking about his mistakes... I can’t see any positive side of him anymore..." Valerie shook her head. "I really can’t... Maybe he can be a good father, but he can’t be a faithful partner..." she wiped away her tears, still deeply affected by the reality.
"You shouldn’t say that, you have to believe that..."
"I want to take a shower," Valerie said before Hannah finished speaking, getting up and walking to her room.
’I guess I have to tell Damian. He needs to come here as soon as possible to calm Valerie’s anger,’ she thought, then took her phone from her white pants pocket.
...
Still in his room, precisely in the gym, Damian looked so sexy wearing only gray pants with his chest bare, sweat dripping, but he continued his activity with battle ropes while listening to hip-hop music echoing throughout the room until he didn’t notice someone’s arrival.
"Damian," Karina greeted.
Damian glanced at Karina through the mirror, then let go of the battle rope. He was panting, then turned to the beautiful girl in a white outfit with a black blazer.
"Karina," he said. "You’re here so early..."
"Yes..." Karina smiled shyly. "I felt really bored at the apartment because my parents have returned to Washington."
"Oh..." Damian smirked, nodding. "Why did they go back there? Wouldn’t it be better to spend the weekend with you here?"
"I don’t know, but there seems to be a problem there... so they had to leave immediately," explained Karina, still looking at Damian who grabbed a black bottle and drank from it. ’Oh my. He’s so sexy... He must be very strong,’ she thought with admiration, imagining his beautiful body on top of her.
Damian sighed after finishing the drink, then put the bottle back on the table near the speaker. He immediately turned off the music and took a small towel to wipe his sweaty body while looking at Karina.
"So, do you want to spend the weekend with me now?" he asked.
"Um... I don’t know," Karina replied nervously. ’Should I say yes so he knows that I’m interested in him?’
"Okay, we can spend time together until the evening... Because tonight I want to meet my friend," Damian said, but in his heart, he thought, ’I have to prepare something for Valerie. Tomorrow is her birthday... I have to be with her starting tonight.’
"Can I come with you to meet your friend?" Karina asked.
Damian gave a thin smile and walked towards the door. "Why do you want to come? It’s not pleasant to meet them... Maybe we’ll meet at a nightclub that’s not very healthy for you. It can make your heart beat fast, especially since there are many smokers there... You’ll feel suffocated by the smoke... And the smell of alcohol and perfume."
"I thought you’d meet your friend at a cafe or..." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
"I prefer a nightclub." Damian stopped in front of the door, then turned to face Karina who followed him, approaching until their faces were very close. ’It might be a little fun to tease her,’ he thought as he looked at Karina’s smooth face.
Karina looked away, her heart suddenly pounding.
"Have you forgotten, I’m a bastard," Damian whispered, then held Karina’s chin. "Have you ever thought about spending the rest of your life with a bastard like me?"
"What... What do you mean?"
"If you were given a chance to heal, would you want to spend your entire life with me?" Damian asked.
"I don’t know," Karina replied nervously, daring to look into Damian’s gray eyes. "I can’t decide... I know you’ve given your whole heart to Valerie," she continued.
Damian gave a thin smile and caressed Karina’s lips. "She indeed has my whole heart, but sometimes I also feel the desire to be with another girl when she no longer gives me hope... And sometimes that desire arises when I’m with you."
Karina was stunned, as if not expecting what Damian said. She swallowed hard, biting her lower lip, imagining Damian’s moist lips kissing her now.
"But I won’t do anything to you..." Damian distanced himself from Karina, then held her arm and gently stroked it. "I don’t want to hurt you... I don’t want you to suffer because of my nature... Don’t waste your life just to love me." He smiled, then went to the bathroom.
Karina fell silent with a strange feeling. ’What is this? Is he testing my feelings? Or does he want to show that no one is worthy of loving him except Valerie?’ she wondered to herself.
