Chapter 25

ผู้เขียน: Whispering Mist
He had gone after her out of sheer good will, just to offer a word of comfort.

And Claire had thrown it straight back in his face.

Damien frowned to himself.

The more he thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed that he had chased after her at all.

As if he had been temporarily possessed.

Claire, meanwhile, spared Damien no further thought.

After heading downstairs, she made her way to the so-called private lounge.

There was no one there.

The attendant who had come upstairs earlier to tell

    Julian’s question made every head in the room turn toward Adrian. Claire, though, looked at Julian first.She understood exactly what he was doing.He was protecting her.He had kept her from becoming the target of the room’s attention. Kept her from being the one to expose Adrian’s identity in public and risk provoking him.He had thrown the question back where it belonged.As for how Adrian would answer...“Do I look like someone who keeps track of that?”His voice was light, flat, and impossible to read. But everyone in the room took something different from it.A few of the men from the pharmacology group exchanged glances, suddenly enlightened. “Makes sense. A man in Mr. Sterling’s position wouldn’t pay attention to people who have nothing to do with him.”Claire understood what he had really meant.Adrian was denying any connection to her, cutting off her chance to expose Sienna in the very next breath. At the same time, he was also implying that he himself was the man in questi

    The moment Sienna walked in, the Hawthorne University team practically lit up. “Sienna, no worries at all. We should be thanking your boyfriend for sponsoring this trip.”“Exactly. Without you, there’s no way we’d be getting bonuses this generous.”“You’re basically the boss’s wife already,” someone said with a half teasing, half flattering smile.And honestly, was that even much of a stretch?Mr. Sterling had stepped in for Sienna, making him both the one calling the shots and the one footing the bill. In that sense, calling Sienna the boss’s wife hardly seemed exaggerated.Sienna lifted a hand to hide her smile, though the delight in her eyes was impossible to miss.“Oh, please. You’re all being too formal.”Leaning back in her chair, Claire watched the celebrated romance play out in front of her as though it belonged to someone else’s life. Her gaze drifted, almost against her will, to Adrian beside Sienna, the man shielding her from every storm and indulging her every whim.There

    Claire could not even bear to think about why Adrian had slipped so easily back into the old habit of sharing a bed with her.All she felt was sickened by the images her mind kept conjuring.She rolled over and retched twice into the trash can.It was not just emotional. Her body reacted before she could stop it.The moment she pictured Adrian and Sienna together, her stomach turned on its own.When Adrian came out of the bathroom, that was what he saw.His dark eyes gave nothing away. Then his gaze dropped slowly to her lower abdomen. “Are you pregnant?”Claire pushed herself upright, a trace of heat still lingering in her cheeks. “No.”It was not as though she could tell him she was nauseous because her thoughts had gone straight to exactly how children were made.Without commenting, Adrian looked away and lowered his eyes to fasten the deep green cuff link at his wrist. “I’ll arrange an exam for you.”For a second, Claire did not even know how to respond. They might be in the middle

    Adrian sat down on the leather sofa and glanced at the suitcase she had left on the carpet. “And what exactly are you here for?”“To inspect the medicinal herb base.” Claire pressed her lips together.He lifted his gaze, long lashes rising slightly, a faint trace of mockery at the corner of his mouth. “If you’re here for work, then what exactly did I trick you into?”“…”Claire had no answer to that.They almost never argued, but she had always known there was no winning against him when he chose to use that sharp, effortless way of speaking. One sentence from Adrian was often enough to leave a person with nothing to say.What Claire still could not understand was why he had insisted on bringing her here to spend New Year’s with the Sterling family.Were they really the sort of married couple who needed to stay together at all times?Even as a performance, it felt excessive.“So where are you sleeping tonight?” Claire finally asked.She was on her period, and the cramps had wrung out w

    Fortunately for Claire, Sienna was the type to let things go.Otherwise, with the kind of influence she had online, Claire would have been ripped apart by public opinion so thoroughly she might never have been able to show her face again.Maybe Nolan really had been taken with Claire at first.But now?There was no way he would let himself be fooled by a woman like her.Back at HexaLife, Claire threw herself into the lab and buried herself in pharmacology analysis, determined not to give her mind room to wander.The joint lab HexaLife had established with Hawthorne University was now fully up and running, and Claire was the overall lead on HexaLife’s side. The responsibility on her shoulders was immense.She had to oversee drug development, manage timelines, monitor risk across the research program, and coordinate with both the clinical and regulatory teams.It was more than enough to keep her busy enough that Adrian had no chance to ruin her mood.Ever since she declined his invitatio

    The gallery was crowded, with people constantly coming and going.As soon as the deal was done, Adrian headed downstairs.Claire went after him without a second thought.“Adrian. Wait.”Even in heels, hurrying as fast as she could, she almost could not keep up with him.At the bottom of the stairs, Adrian turned.His car was already waiting at the entrance. Colin had stepped out and opened the rear door.Claire did not see Sienna anywhere, and at that point, she did not care. She held Adrian’s dark, unreadable gaze and said, “That antique belongs to the Bennett family. It was my grandma’s dowry piece.”“Mm. And?”Not the slightest change crossed Adrian’s face.Claire saw it clearly. He did not think there was anything wrong with giving her grandma’s dowry piece to Sienna.That calm, matter-of-fact indifference cut straight through her.For one sharp second, Claire wanted to fight him outright. But the coldness in Adrian’s gaze was like a blade, forcing her back into reason.“You can gi
