Chasing The Rejected Luna's Heart (Clara and Liam) novel Chapter 143

~CLARA~

Despite all I had said, Damon still didn't let me go for the whole day after he woke up but the next morning, I wasn't taking no for an answer and had to throw all kinds of tantrums to make him let me out of that room.

After a while, he succumbed and I knew it was because he knew there wasn't any time to waste anymore. He had to start strategizing.

We bathed together and got dressed together before leaving the house. Damon urged me to take breakfast but I was still full from the food I had been stuffed with last night.

Damon always made sure to feed me every two hours because in his words, I didn't eat as much as a pregnant woman should and that I had gotten thinner whereas I felt like I was becoming a whale.

“I’ll drop you off at Delilah's house then come get you back later, okay? Make sure you eat there, hmm? And if you want anything, just call me” He uttered and I rolled my eyes.

“Okay Dad” I replied which made him chuckle. Soon enough, we got to Delilah's house and I could already see her and her parents waiting outside for me with Luca by the side.

“If you feel overwhelmed by them, all you have to do is say it” Damon uttered and he grabbed onto my hand.

“Why will I feel overwhelmed? If anything, I missed them… even your father” I uttered with a smile he chuckled then leaned down and placed a kiss on my lips.

“I’m going to miss you, so fucking much” He murmured against my lips.

“Where are you going?” I questioned as I pulled back from the kiss.

“Luca and I will be going to the company to check how things are. I haven't gone there since you were gone” He explained and I slowly nodded.

“You two better not make any plans without me or else you'll be sleeping in another room till this baby is born” I threatened and he laughed wholeheartedly, bringing a smile to my face.

“Don’t worry, you're my partner and that makes us a team. Even if we come up with a plan, I'll relay it to you, okay? Let me walk you to them” He said as he unbuckled my seatbelt then placed a kiss on my cheek before we climbed out of the car.

He waited for me to get to him then grabbed my hand and led me towards them.

I could see the skeptical look in their eyes mingled with guilt. To me, they had no reason to feel guilty, their reactions were very valid. I know for a fact that I would have done worse if Damon had been the one lying on that hospital bed.

To ease their tension, I smiled at them and immediately I did that, Delilah busted out crying as she ran up to me and wrapped her arms around my body.

Damon slowly let go of my hand so I could hug her back as she cried on my shoulders.

“I’m so sorry for how I treated you, I should have known” She apologized and I sighed before pulling away. I smiled as I wiped her tears away.
