Chapter 281 Luring His Prey into a Trap Soon, Bethany entered the office.

She noticed Clarissa gripping Damien‘s wrist, which was rather surprising.

“What are you two doing?” she asked.

“I‘m wiping her sweat for her,” Damien replied casually while locking his gaze on Clarissa‘s face.

“Will you keep your promise?” Clarissa finally asked Damien as she narrowed her eyes slightly.

Naturally, she was talking about her plans to fly overseas.

“Since when do I break then?” Damien replied with another question.

Clarissa released Damien‘s wrist after that.

“If you want to be intimate, you can always do that in the comfort of your own house. This is a hospital,

you know?” Bethany sank into her chair after she was done speaking. Then she grabbed Clarissa‘s

ultrasound report and started scanning the contents.

Meanwhile, Clarissa was finally reassured when she heard Damien‘s promise. She decided to aska

random question. “So... Was I sweating the whole time?”

“Yup. Your sweat production was off the charts.” It was unknown whether Damien was mocking

Clarissa for being nervous throughout the entire exchange earlier or he was simply concerned about

her. He grabbed another tissue paper from Bethany‘s tissue box on her desk and started wiping

Clarissa‘s sweat for her again.

In the past, he had never done that.

through a natural vaginal delivery. Try to move around more so that you can get your required

exercise.” While Bethany spoke, she jotted down the medical notes on Clarissa‘s medical file. Then,

she continued, “Your babies didn‘t give you any trouble at all during your pregnancy. Why did you have

the absurd idea of wanting to abort them in the first place?”

Clarissa stole a peek at Damien by using the corner of her eyes instinctively.

Damien returned the gaze without saying anything. On their way back to Atherton Garden, Clarissa

asked once again, “Why did you come to the hospital?”

“Leah told me you‘re going for a prenatal check–up, so I decided to come as well. There isn’t any other

reason.”

Clarissa sat at the back while gazing out of the window.

She was no longer as active as she was in the past, especially after she got pregnant. It was most

likely due to the events she had gone through as well as the difficulties of her pregnancy.

Today, Damien finally realized how difficult it had been for Clarissa throughout her pregnancy.

“Why did you want to get an abortion? Did you really hate them that much?” Damien asked.

He even looked at Clarissa in the rearview mirror.

Clarissa could detect a trace of sorrow from Damien‘s questions. He wasn‘t angry at her; he was just

sad.

It was rare to detect such emotions from a busy and esteemed CEO like Damien.

Clarissa was instantly drawn to him because of this tone. For some reason, she felt that there was a

needle poking at her heart.

“The babies‘ existence is an accident for me. At first, I didn‘t want to give birth to them at all because I

wanted to focus on my career. These babies stood in my way of pursuing a higher education as well,

so I was bothered by their existence for a very long time,” Clarissa replied gently. “If it wasn‘t for the

fact that they‘re twins, I would‘ve aborted them straight away.”

“So, are you saying that these babies should be delivered because they‘re twins?” Damien asked.

Clarissa didn‘t reply to him.

“Have you thought about how you want to name the babies?” Damien continued.

Clarissa was surprised to hear the question. “Do I have to come up with their names right now? Isn‘t it

okay if I do that once they‘re born?”

She didn‘t know what was going to happen in the future. More importantly, she had no idea whose

surname the babies would take after. Most likely, they would be Johnsons, just like her. However,

Damien did say he wanted to raise the babies. This plunged Clarissa into another dilemma. Should she

tell Damien that he was the babies‘ father? What if she chose not to tell him, only to find out that he

chose to mistreat them when she was gone?

To him, those babies belonged to Joseph. They were the children of his love rival. There was a chance

that Damien might raise the boy as a slave and convert the girl into a future prostitute.

After all, he was very capable of doing those things.

Clarissa started to feel anxious again when she thought that far. She had a feeling she

could no longer keep the secret.

“Isn‘t there anything you want to tell me?” Damien asked.

“No,” Clarissa replied decisively.

“Okay. I‘ll be waiting for whatever you have to say to me.” Damien had a smile trailing his lips. It was as

if he was silently crowing the fact that he already knew everything.

His expression sent chills down Clarissa‘s spine.

Take the good old high school times, for example. The teacher knew who the culprit was, but he

decided not to reveal the truth. Instead, he intended to wait till the culprit headed over to the staff office

and admitted their wrongdoings there. Naturally, this would stress the culprit out.

Clarissa had no idea why the situation would turn out like this.

What did she do wrong?

Should she not hate Damien for killing her mother? Clarissa had a feeling that Damien was luring her

into a trap that he had already set up.
