Chapter 90 - 90: Claire\'s concern

He watched the peaceful goddess sleeping next to him and his smile widened to see the marks he left on her neck. Slowly, he lifted a hand and caressed her cheeks lightly, making sure that he wouldn\'t wake her up.

His eyes lowered to her body. The scars on her b.r.e.a.s.t illuminated by the light coming from the sun. He sat up, leaned close to her b.r.e.a.s.t with confusion in his eyes.

He just noticed it now but the scar on her chest was pretty thick and long while a few more scratches and cuts were printed on her skin.

A long sigh let out from his lip as he lay back and sunk his face on her shoulder.

\'If drugs don\'t work on her, how did she survive it?\'

He shut his eyes, last night the kiss they shared was different from before. He didn\'t see any picture of her past, all he could see was his face and his smile.

\'Was she really thinking of me the whole time?\' his thought was disturbed when Daniella suddenly moved. He looked up and watched as she slowly opened her eyes.

Her pair of black irises met his confused eyes, Evan blinked and smiled at her.

Daniella\'s eyes instantly turned into green while her lips flashed a sudden smile.

"I am hungry " was the first thing Daniella said after waking up which made Evan laugh. He sat up giggling and helped her to get up.

"Let\'s have breakfast."

But instead of pulling herself up, Daniella grabbed his wrist and pulled him back onto bed. As he fell back down, Daniella got up hastily and sat on his stomach.

A teasing expression flashed on Daniella\'s face as she put his hands over his head "who said I want food " she giggled teasingly as she drew her face closer to his .

Evan raised a brow. Through all the time they spent in the hotel room, Daniella had never given him this kind of stare, her eyes were narrowing seductively. She was like a tiger staring at her prey. He gave her a lopsided grin as he spoke what he had in his mind, "I like this aggressive style ."

Meanwhile Robert and Claire were having a heated discussion when they suddenly couldn\'t contact Daniella.

"I am pretty sure something bad happened to her Robert!" Claire exclaimed, cutting the cuc.u.mber mercilessly.

Robert rolled his eyes at the look of panic on Claire\'s face "I am pretty sure she\'s alive " he replied and took a piece of sliced cuc.u.mber from the chopping board.

With nose wrinkling in worry and anger, Claire stabbed the knife on the wooden chopping board.

"Why didn\'t she contact us? She was supposed to meet Evan\'s father right?" sweat formed on her forehead as she tried to pictured Daniella\'s pitiful situation "what if Evan\'s father is working with Roman Lee?" her skin shivered at her words "and they took Daniella and locked her up again?"

Eyes swelling in concern glistened with sudden tears "Robert you have to call Evan, quick!"

With the look panic on Claire\'s face Robert decided to call Evan because if he didn\'t Claire might have a heart attack with all the disturbing thoughts running through her mind.

The phone rang for some minutes before it was answered and loud and harsh breathing sounded on the other line.

"Is this Robert?"

"Yes, Mr. Su we just wanted to know if you have seen Daniella?"

"Yes, she just ran into the bathroom."

Robert bored his eyes on Claire who was staring at him like a worried mother.

"She\'s with Evan" Robert informed Claire.

The old woman\'s eyes narrowed in suspicion "where are they?" she knew that Daniella was not in the villa and Scott confirmed it.

"We are in Macao " Evan spoke on the other line.

"They are on their honeymoon" Robert stated bluntly.

"What honeymoon!" the worry on Claire\'s face came back upon hearing it. She grabbed the phone harshly from Robert and put it on her ear while her feet paced around the dining table irritably.

"Mr. Su, no matter what Daniella says or does don\'t ever touch her," her nose was wrinkling in irritation as she spoke.

The other line was silent for a moment and when Claire called his name one more time Evan didn\'t have a choice but to reply.

"Is there something wrong?"

After Claire heard the confusion in Evan\'s tone her eyes shut by itself.

"Well " she stumbled to find the words to explain what she had in her mind "Daniella is different so you\'ll have to be gentle when you touch her."

"I would never hurt her."

With the assurance and the sincerity in his voice Claire felt somehow relieved. She didn\'t oppose whatever feeling Daniella has towards Evan but she didn\'t want to see her cry again.

Claire\'s eyes were gloomy as she stared at the sliced cuc.u.mber which had already been eaten halfway by Robert.

"Evan, I am not sure if we will get a chance to talk privately but since we are talking now," she paused for a moment to give Robert a murderous stare, "Daniella is not a wife material she doesn\'t want kids so if you are looking for one, it would be much better to end whatever you two have right now."

"Does it make sense to you?"

The other line went silent, Claire was about to continue when she heard a familiar voice rang in the background.

"Oh my god, Babe! You have to see the bubbles in the tub it\'s shaped like a bear."

The sweet giggle of the familiar voice made Claire tilt her head in confusion. She was certain that it was Daniella\'s voice but she had never heard her giggling like a little kid for a small thing such as bubbles.

"I\'ll be there in a second."

This time, it was Evan\'s voice that spoke

"No worries take your time."

A look of surprise registered on Claire\'s face after hearing it. Daniella\'s patience was so short that all of them got scolded when they didn\'t do what she wanted immediately. The woman wanted everything to be done as soon as the order left her mouth but the person whom she heard on the other line seemed to be different. It was as if Daniella was possessed by the most understanding spirit in the ghost world.

Claire separated the phone from her ears and turned to Robert who just ate the last slice of cuc.u.mber.

"Robert, Daniella just said take your time."

Wonder swept across Claire\'s face when she noticed Robert was not shocked by her news.

"Yeah, that witch\'s patience is unlimited when it comes to Evan."

Claire blinked with her head tilting in confusion. It\'s been three years since she became close with Daniella and this was her first time hearing it.

\'Does she really like him that much?\'

There was slight happiness in her heart knowing that Daniella has finally found her match but it was soon enveloped by an indescribable fear.

"Can I speak to Daniella?" she requested to Evan.

When the phone was passed Claire heard Daniella\'s voice, it seemed jaded and exhausted "what is it Claire?"

"What did you find out?" she asked straight.

The line went silent though in the background the flowing water sounded.

"Daniella?"

"I am here" her profound and deep sigh made Claire think that whatever she found out, it was not good.

"Is that bad?" she asked confusedly.

"Well, let\'s just say that even Shakespeare would shake his head if he found out what I found out."

"Then why are you with him now Daniella?"

Claire knew the answer to her question but she thought Daniella\'s feeling were not that deep for her to forget her reason for living.

"Because I need to be with him Claire and I need to end this call because Evan will join me in the tub soon."

Claire\'s face went poker when Daniella ended the phone rudely.

"What can we do " Robert\'s voice sounded from behind her "that witch certainly knows what she wants. Cut more cuc.u.mber please."

As Claire looked back to face him, she realized that he had a point. Her eyes lowered to the cuc.u.mber he put on the chopping board.

"Cut it yourself!" she yelled and rushed out of the room in a huff.

Robert just shook his head at the feeling of anger that lingered in the kitchen, he grabbed a cuc.u.mber and ate it "Seriously, the women in this house are so impatient!" he said leaving the mess in the kitchen.
