Hunter's POV

I promise to you, Claire, that I will personally investigate this matter besides the private detective.

Later on, we went back to Claire's home on my bike. She was drained to shreds and so I had to ride. Upon arriving, Claire hugged my waist tightly and whined like a tired kid who hasn't gotten proper sleep.

"I can't walk. Carry to my room." I would have done that even if she hadn't verbalized it.

I picked her up after giving the keys to the guard and carried her inside the mansion. It was lunchtime and my stomach was cursing me for listening to my díck over its growl for food. I strode to the kitchen as I pecked Claire's forehead.

"I want to sleep." She said in a baby tone.

"Food first. You promised to feed me, remember?"

"I fed you."

What? I stared at her playing with her fingers while my jaw dropped.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing," Ethereal flush enhanced her beauty. "I just said feed me sooner so I can retire to bed."

As much as I craved to tease her for whisperi

    338"What's going on here?" Claire barged in, bellowing on top of her voice.Dora wanted to say something. She had just parted her soft lips but Claire wrenched her away from Hunter and pushed her towards the door."Get out of here.""But, I wasn't—""I said, GET OUT!" Claire roared like a megaphone.Dora cowered back, her eyes widening as dread crossed her innocent features, "I... Hunter—""GET OUT OF MY HOUSE NOW!" Claire grasped her elbow and dragged her all the way down to the large doors.She shoved Dora out where she stumbled and came to a halt. Dora balanced herself a few inches before the stairs, else she would have flattened on her butt and hurt herself. She still tried to explain something but Claire shut the doors on her face before she snapped at her, "I don't want you anywhere around my house. Don't you dare come back if you love your pretty face!"Claire wasn't done yet. She charged up the flight of stairs and back inside Hunter's room. He was leaning against the balcony

    337The delivery person continued to look at her expectantly, hoping that he would get an answer from her that would let him transfer the boxes inside the house and then install the bed wherever it was needed. Except that Claire didn't know how to react. She just stood there, eyes wide, and mind flooding with recollection of her last conversation with Hunter about the bed. 'No, he didn't just...' She gulped hard as her eyes flickered rapidly. "Is it the delivery guy from IKEA?" Came Hunter's voice from behind her before she prepared herself to say anything. "Yes, it is.I believe he’s mixed up the location." Thea replied as she moved away to let Hunter peek out the half opened door. "He's on the right address." Hunter said as he stood behind Claire, deliberately pressing himself into her back. "But, sir, a new bed? In our house? I don't understand it." Thea muttered. "It's for me. My current bed is very uncomfortable.... And smelly!" Claire took a deep breath at his choice of wo

  • Regretting Divorce   Chapter 336

    336Claire felt the strings of her heart tug and stretch taut. She could feel herself getting lost again. Lost in the depth of his feelings. Lost in the labyrinth of his intense gaze. Hunter wasn't just looking at her, he was pulling her in like a magnet. He was compelling her to let herself loose in his arms again, and let him do what he wished to do with her.With a jolt, she broke free from his grip. Not again. She told herself. She wasn't going to leave herself at his mercy. She's done it thrice and got hurt each time.Moving away, Claire tucked her hair behind her ears and brushed past him to create distance."Where are my bags?" She asked to change the topic.Hunter stared at her for a good minute before he frowned, "Bags? What bags?"Claire gave him a stern look in return as she folded her hands."You sent Reggie to get my st

  • Regretting Divorce   Chapter 335

    335Claire's hands trembled on the handle of the door as she gazed out of the window at the looming mansion that had once been the house of her dreams. She swallowed past the knot forming in her throat as she held herself together. She didn't want to do this. She hadn't done this ever since she left this house after signing the divorce papers. And yet, after all these months, after all the determination and resolution— she was standing here, watching the house while trying not to cry. She came out of the car with Hunter following after her. He was still dressed in his suit, but the doctors had placed his arm in a sling. Since his body was far from recovery and the gunshot wound was very much fresh, sudden activity could worsen the injury. Also, after being unconscious for four days, he wasn't strong enough to carry himself without support. Hence, the sling was meant to stabilize him and ease the pressure on his chest.Anyway, when Hunter noticed her shoulders shaking and tears in h

    334"Let go, Claire. I have so much work pending." Hunter said. "Drop this stubborn act and listen to the doctors, Hunter. You are not completely healed." She caught him glaring at her with obvious irritation.She ignored it and motioned him to walk back inside. "Why should I listen to you when you've been ignoring me all this time? I'm fine... And I listened to the doctors! I can leave here. It's you who should stop pretending like nothing happened, Claire. Your plan is blown." He smirked while the doctor who had mistakenly blurted that he could leave flushed in remorse."You thought you could fool me into staying here? Too bad that the doctors can't lie that professionally."Cole and Claire shared a look of defeat. Over these days, they had also reconciled with an inevitable conversation and a hug. Cole apologized for being cold to her and Claire shared her feelings with him. Towards the end they decided to work together and try to keep Hunter in the hospital for as long as it was

  • Regretting Divorce   Chapter 333

    333Claire's eyes darkened in rage. She sometimes hated herself for loving this man so much. He had no nice trait if she looked closer. He was stubborn. He was grumpy. He took everyone for granted!Tamping down her frustration, Claire trudged towards the bed and appraised his face with not even a sliver of mercy."What did you do to your mother? Why was she crying outside?""Mom was crying?" Hunter was taken aback. He tried to sit up and Claire just watched him. She didn't even try to come and help him."I did nothing.""You sure... Or is it just that you don't realize it? Like you always don't." She spat outrageously."Mom wanted to stay here. I just asked dad to stop her. She doesn't need to tire herself after me. That's all that happened."Claire gave him a look between disgust and disbelief. She seethed and averted her gaze before she exploded. He was not in the condition to take her verbal abuse. And she sure as hell did not intend to give him a reason to use her actions made in
