Chapter 91 Compromise
It was strange. She had watched the moon at sea and was looking at the stars in the mountain. They
could be said to be the most romantic and pleasant things in the world. But she had done them with
Raymond instead of Adriel.
Although she had dated Adriel for years, they had barely been out alone because he had been busy
with work. He had said he must work hard to get her father's recognition. So, he had focused on his
work and barely done romantic things for her.
"How could you say I'm playing hard to get? You know how to please women. You took me out to the
sea and let me watch the stars in the mountain with you. I don't believe you have never chased after
women."
Adriel was not romantic at all. So, seeing what Raymond had done, Bethany believed he was a
playboy.
"If I had chased after Aria like this, she would not have been so obsessed with me."
His words went straight to the heart of the matter. If Aria heard them, she would go mad. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Bethany couldn't help cursing, "If you don't love her, you should not have let her give birth to your child.
People would think such a scumbag is hopeless!"
Raymond felt helpless to hear this and explained, "I've told you things are not as you imagined. I did
not voluntarily let her give birth to my child."
Hearing this, Bethany became curious and gossipy. She looked at him in shock and asked, "Really?
Did she drug and rape you?"
What?
Hearing her words, Raymond was so angry that he wanted to strangle her, wondering what was wrong
with her.
"I'm sorry. I guessed wrong."
Seeing his gloomy face, Bethany immediately changed the subject, saying, "Let's stop talking about
this topic. Look at the stars! They are beautiful!"
Bethany regretted it very much. She should not have spoken without thinking. Now, she even wanted to
slap herself. She thought she could temporarily avoid the embarrassment by changing the subject, but
Raymond was unwilling to let her go. He turned over and pressed her on the bed, saying, "Dr. Caldwell,
you seem to care about me having a child with Aria very much."
This position was dangerous. Bethany was so frightened that she didn't dare to move. So, she weakly
replied, "No, I'm just curious. You can forget it."
"But you've asked! Why do you care about it so much? Do you have designs on me?"
What?
When she was about to blurt out his name, she suddenly realized he would punish her with a kiss if she
called him by his full name. So, she forced a smile and said, "Ray, can you get off me? Let's have a
good talk."
But as soon as she finished speaking, Raymond approached her more. Feeling his chest against hers,
she instantly held her breath and widened her eyes in astonishment.
"Bethany, I am bad-tempered and always patient with women. But I tolerated you again and again."
While saying these emotional words, Raymond was very close to her. So, her heart began racing, her
pupils dilated in shock, and her mind was messy.
"I want you. Even if I forcibly marry you, no one would dare to blame me. Do you think your resistance
is useful? I didn't force you because I don't want to hurt you. Do you understand?"
What?
Had he heard it wrong? He had said he wanted her and was afraid of hurting her!
Was he expressing his affection for her?
No! Bethany immediately knocked herself in the head to sober herself up.
He had no feelings for her, so she should not think too much. He had said so out of his desire to
conquer.
But his words had still shocked her so much that she looked at him in a daze, unable to utter a single
word. His chest was against hers, so she was sure he could hear her racing heartbeat. Because of the
dangerous position and close distance, she prepared for the worst.
Raymond was right. If he forced her, her resistance would be useless.
When she thought he would have sex with her tonight, he suddenly got up and flatly said, "Shayla will
sleep with you. I'll sleep with Tyrone."
What?
Had she guessed it wrong?
Bethany didn't figure out what was going on until Raymond walked out of the bedroom. But she was
grateful that he had never forced her in this regard.
Damion was resentful and confused to hear Raymond would sleep with him. After they gazed at each
other in speechless dismay in the bedroom, he said, "It's a wonderful night. Are you sure you will sleep
with me instead of Beth?"
Damion wanted to cry. After all, he had thought he could complete the task.
"Why? Don't you want to sleep with your future daddy?"
Damion was speechless, so he said, "I've slept by myself since one year old. I don't need you to
accompany me."
"I only booked two rooms. Please make do with it."
Damion rolled his eyes, thinking it was easy to book another room now.
Raymond was always in a trance when looking at the boy in front of him, so he asked, "Why do you
look so much like my son?"
Hearing this, Damion suppressed his guilty and replied, "I have never seen your son. How do I know if I
look like him?"
Raymond took out his phone, found Damion's photo, and showed it to him. Looking at his photo,
Damion felt it was funny.
"Yes, we do look alike."
Raymond emphasized, "No, you look the same."
Damion could only talk nonsense, "So what? There are so many people in the world. It's normal for two
people to look alike."
"Shayla said she didn't know who her daddy was. What about you? Has Bethany told you who your
daddy is or shown you his photo?"
Damion could not answer such a question, so he could only pretend to lose his temper and fiercely
said, "Why are you inquiring about this? She said he had passed away. I have never seen him. Beth is
not dating any other man, and our daddy is dead. You can rest assured and marry her. Why are you so
narrow-minded?"
Raymond was speechless.
Damion added, "I'm going to sleep by myself! Don't disturb me!"
Then, he walked into the guest bedroom of the suite, closed the door, and locked it.
At the same time, Shayla was accompanying Bethany in another suite. She could not understand it, so
she asked with resentment, "Why am I here? Why don't you stay with Daddy?"
