NovelEnglishChapter 83 -DAMON- П I was fuming with anger as I walked out of the river. I handed the crying kid to Gwen before walking over to Clara who was shivering on the ground.
"What were you thinking? Why did you leave your guards? What if something bad happened to you? For f**k sake, Clara, you can't even swim" I scolded her thinking about the fact that if I hadn't shown up when I did, something bad might have happened to her.
"I didn't mean to, I just couldn't ignore the child. I'm sorry but I don't regret my actions" She murmured stubbornly and I scoffed.
"You don't because I saved you on time. What if Steven hadn't calledimmediately? You would have drowned alongside the baby" | yelled.
"What exactly should I have done? I should have left the baby there? I'm sorry if that's what you would have done but that isn'tand you know it. I lost a child, Damon and seeing that child row down the river brought back that feeling, I couldn't let him die" She uttered and I immediately softened. This girl was going to be the death of me.
"Get up" I morning softly as I helped her up from the ground before wrapping my arms tightly around her.
"I almost got a heart attack when I heard you were gone C Clara" I murmured and she sniffled.

You can't punish Steven and the rest, I snuck away" She murmured and I didn't even acknowledge her last statement because if I were to counter it, we would get into another full blown argument.
I was paying them to always keep an eye on her and they didn't do that so they were all going to get punished.
I pulled back slightly to check her properly if she had any injuries but luckily, there wasn't any sign of an injury. "Let's get you hbefore you catch a cold. Gwen, take the child to the orphanage and..." "No!" Clara suddenly yelled then went over to take the little boy who had calmed down out of Gwen's arms before turning toand when I saw the look in her eyes, I groaned.
"We are not keeping it, Clara" I muttered and she frowned.
"He is not an it, he's a boy and we have to" She argued.
"We don't have to do anything. There are countless orphanage homes for children like him. Let them take care of him. Gwen, take the child" I ordered.
"Please Damon, we can't leave this child in the orphanage, I can't leave this child in the orphanage. He's still a kid, he needs a mother" She argued and as if on cue, the boy snuggled her and 1 practically saw her whole body melt.
"Baby we have a lot of issues on the ground now and..." "I will make sure he isn't intruding in any way. You'll hardly even see him unless you cfind me. I'll stay at hand have the guards watch me" She uttered and I sighed. I really didn't want to do this.
if it was my child, I wouldn't mind but another person's kid? The cries, the tantrums, can I deal with it? "Clara..." 62% 12:00 Tue, 2 Jul Chapter 83 "I'm begging you, Damon, Please" She pleaded before I could get a word out and I groaned when not only did she flashthe puppy dog eyes but the boy did too almost like he knew what was going on.
"You can take him hbut I haven't made up my mind on if we can adopt him or not, okay?" I murmured softly and she sighed before nodding.
"Okay" She uttered then let out a loud sneeze and I instinctively wrapped my arms tighter around her.
"Let's get you home" The car ride back was silent at least for me. Clara kept talking and playing with the boy and barely gaveany attention. I tried asking her how the days she had spent withoutwent but she just gave short replies and went back to the boy.
Was this how it was going to be from now on? I don't know if i can handle it. Heck, I never knew I could be jealous over a child.
I huffed then folded my arms as I stared out the window. I'll let her give her attention to him just for today but tomorrow and forever, she's mine.
When we got back to the mansion, everyone was outside like expected. I had raised an alarm after getting a call from Steven that he couldn't find Clara. Heck, I had almost sent an army to go find her thinking the enemy had kidnapped her, If it weren't for Kade who talked ssense into me, I would have sent the army.
We got down from the car and everyone was surprised when they saw a child in Clara's arms.

"Who's child is this and why are you both wet?" She questioned as she glanced betweenand Clara.
"Disregarding the fact that she didn't know how to swim, Clara jumped into the water to save that httle boy and had to jump in to save her and the little boy" I replied. I
"Awwn bestie, I'm so proud of you" Delilah shrieked as she ran up to Clara and everyone seemed om impressed by what Clara had done.
Hadn't they heard the part where she almost died? "That was a very heroic act, Clara" My father praised with a proud smile on his face and she smiled at him but said nothing else.
I knew Clara was still mad at him for sendingto the abyss and although I understood where my father was coming from, it sure felt good to know that she had my back.
"Awwn He's so cute but why is he here?" Delilah questioned and Clara glanced atbefore turning back to her with a smile.
"I'm adopting him" She announced and everyone gasped while I groaned.
"I didn't say we were adopting him, Cla... oh for f***k sake, I need a drink. Every other complaint can cafter that" I muttered as I walked into the En house as soon as I saw my father was about to speak on the matter but I already knew what he was going to say. Even if we adopted, a child with my blood had to be my heir and of course I knew that but right now that was the east of my concern.
