No Strings Attached novel (Clara and Ian) novel Chapter 266

Every time he said “I love you,” his actions intensified. Clara finally understood the depth of his love. It was unfathomable, bottomless, and she was utterly consumed by their wild passion.

A night of madness inevitably takes its toll. Clara didn’t wake up until noon the next day.

She felt a soreness in her fingertips, barely able to muster the strength to hold her phone.

Inwardly, she cursed Ian a hundred times over.

Just then, her phone on the nightstand began to ring. Seeing Sasha’s name on the screen, she immediately answered. “Hey girl.”

Sasha’s voice pierced through the speaker, “Clara, your voice sounds rough. Please don’t tell me you’ve actually made up with that scoundrel Ian?”

With a soft “mm-hmm,” Clara replied, “I went to meet his family with him yesterday.”

Sasha’s concern was immediate. “Didn’t his wicked mother give you a hard time? They didn’t hassle you about the pregnancy issues, did they? If so, just say the word, and I’m on my way to set them straight!”

Clara chuckled, touched by her friend’s concern.

“Don’t worry. I’m fine. How about you? Keeping up with Dr. Chase?”

Sasha’s frustration was palpable. “Don’t get me started on that jerk. He showed up at my door bright and early, bragging that you and Ian are together, so he’s won our bet and now I have to play his maid for a month. When have I ever waited on anyone, huh?”

Laughing, Clara asked, “So he’s moved in with you?”
