No Strings Attached novel (Clara and Ian) novel Chapter 446

As the shout rang out, the balloons soared into the azure sky. At their apex, they burst, showering crimson rose petals from the heavens.

Clara gazed upward, watching the petals dance in the sky, and couldn’t help but let her pretty lips curl into a smile.

When she returned to this place, there was a shadow in her heart, but wrapped up in this atmosphere, her shadow dissipated in an instant.

Sasha bounded over, wrapping an arm around her neck with a laugh. “Hey, Mr. Hayes promised us a feast! He said he’s gonna treat us to Australian lobster, Alaskan king crab, and South African abalone, and not to skimp on any of them.”

Clara chuckled and playfully flicked Sasha’s forehead. “Check if that’s enough. If not, you can steam me as a side dish.”

“I’ll pass on that,” Sasha retorted with a grin. “Before I could even get you in the pot, Mr. Hayes would’ve chopped me up for shark bait. And hey, how many times have I told you not to knock on my noggin? If you scramble my brains, who’s gonna marry me? You?”

Before Clara could respond, Chase’s roguish voice came from behind. “Being a bit daft might be a blessing. It saves me from your constant nagging.”

Sasha rolled her eyes at him. “Chase, would it kill you to keep quiet? Don’t talk to me today, or you’ll regret it.”

Chase watched her with an amused smile. “Is it really that big a deal? We just crashed together after a few too many drinks. It’s not like I laid a finger on you.”

“And you better not even think about it! If you did, I’d ensure you’d be dickless for the rest of your life!”

“Fine, fine. I yield, okay?” Chase, fearless in the face of anything, knew when to back down.

Edwin and Roger were watching the drama unfold from a safe distance.

“Do you reckon those two have a thing going on?”

“Isn’t it obvious? They’ve already shared a bed.”
