No Strings Attached novel (Clara and Ian) novel Chapter 333

Tears streamed down Clara’s cheeks, unbidden.

This mutual love, a love that raced headlong toward each other, was something she couldn’t resist.

Her resolve to leave Ian crumbled in that instant. She looked up at him, her voice soft and slightly nasal. “Ian, promise me, no matter what happens, you’ll always keep our child safe.”

Ian bent down to kiss away the tears from the corners of her eyes. “I promise you, once all of this is over, we’ll leave for a place where no one can find us. Just the three of us. I’ll take care of you. We’ll attend prenatal yoga classes together, and we’ll wait for our little one’s arrival.”

Clara was touched and filled with longing. It was a scene she had dreamed of for so long. She wanted to raise their child together with Ian.

The tension in her heart finally eased, and a long-lost smile spread across her lips. “Ian.” She called to him softly.

Ian looked down tenderly. “Yeah, I’m right here.”

Clara wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed a gentle kiss to his lips. “I think I’m falling in love with you more and more.”

“Only think? Mrs. Hayes, shouldn’t you be absolutely, positively certain about loving your man?”
