Lost in Mr. Preston's Temptation novel Chapter 55

“Very good, you’ve made me angry.” Clara kicked him as he walked, “My promise to treat you to midnight snacks for a month is now invalid!”

Seeing that his month worth of midnight snacks was in danger of being revoked, Baxter immediately went up to coax her, “Don’t, beautiful Clara, I was wrong, okay?”

“I myself will slap this mouth that speak words unfit for humans.”

“Clara, do you have another lover outside, that you don’t love me anymore?”

“...”

Looking at a big man over 6 feet tall jabbering on and acting out in front of her the corners of Clara’s mouth twitched. “If you keep this up, I’ll call your brother!”

Baxter immediately stopped and took out some money from his pocket. “What candy does Clara want to eat? Here, I’ll buy it for you!”

“...”

Over at the elevator, Delores stood still watching Clara and Baxter walk towards the vending machine. She pursed her lips as she watched them fight.

Delores asked the servant, “Is that Donny’s brother?”

“Yes.” Baxter had been to the family a few times before, and the maid remembered his appearance. “I heard he studied at the military academy. He’s even more talented than his brother and a hacker. It was also he who spread the news of Ethan’s older brother’s scandal letting Ethan take care of him easily.”

As he said this the servant glanced at Baxter. “Baxter was in Europe helping Ethan take care of matters there. I didn’t realize that he had already returned.”

“He must have come back a while ago.” Delores pursed her lips tightly. “Ethan didn’t even introduce him to me, and now he sent him to help Clara. Ethan got a marriage certificate with Clara...”

Delores clutched her servant’s arm tightly, face pale. “Does Ethan’s even have me in his heart?”

“Madam, don’t overthink things, Ethan only has you in his heart.” The servant comforted Delores, “Baxter before had always been in Europe before, and was rarely with Ethan. It’s normal you haven’t seen him. As for Ethan marrying Clara, it’s just to deal with the old lady. You also know that the old lady forced him to marry.”

“I heard that she heard about Ethan’s fake marriages. This time Josh went to the city hall to verify it. I imagine that Ethan had no choice but to get the certificate with Clara.”

The servant was afraid if they stood there too long, they would attack Baxter’s suspicions, so she helped Delores walk away.

“Madam, lately, Grandma Preston has also been watching you closely.” The servant whispered, “You should rest at home and not worry about anything else. Even if Clara Rowan is with Ethan, it will still not affect his feelings towards you.”

Her servant’s analysis made Delores relax.

However, she was still uncomfortable seeing the man she loved get a marriage certificate with another women.

Delores said, “I’ll call Ethan in a bit. I want him to come over and accompany me for dinner.”

“I’m afraid that won’t be possible...” The maid paused and whispered, “I received the news half an hour ago. Ethan has taken a trip to the Sweetriver area...”

Delores remembered what day it was, and her eyes darkened, “Contact the airport. I’m also going to Sweetriver.”

“Miss, you’re pregnant and shouldn’t rush around.” The servant advised softly, “if Grandma Preston finds out, she will definitely be angry.”

The old lady...

Delores’s eyes suddenly turned cold when she thought of Grandma Preston with her kind eyes but overbearing personality.

She pursed her lips and didn’t say anything but stroke her bulging stomach. She was not resigned to her fate, and even regretted her original decision.
