"Really?" He sounded playful.

Claire hummed near his face and cupped his jaw, "I adore how you tackle challenges head-on and always come out on top." She paused, pecked him on the lips and added, "For me, you're a true champion and that's what captivated my heart."

"You think too highly of me."

"I just know that you're very skillful and..."

"And?" Hunter leaned in closer, depositing all his wait on her.

Claire's lips tugged at the corners. An idea struck and she pushed him away.

Hunter frowned at the loss of contact. But the push stirred his thoughts awake and he realized he was here on a mission.

"You didn't answer my question!"

"What question?" Claire asked playfully.

"About being my girlfriend."

"I'll think about it." She got out of his hold as she stifled her laughs.

It was dark so she couldn't see his expression. But from what she knew about him, she knew he was boiling on the inside. Despite being one of the most successful men, he was grumpy and had very little to no pati

  • Regretting Divorce   Chapter 394

    394Hunter was back for a funeral, for the third time, with the same colorless face and puffy red eyes he had during the first two times. Except that, they were in a graveyard this time. It was located in their city's oldest church of Mother Mary. With Reggie’s parents resting here, Hunter thought it best to bring him here too, so he could reunite with them. He swallowed hard as he watched Reggie's grave being filled back with soil. Loud sobs came from beside him. He gazed from the corner of his eyes at Reggie's girlfriend and younger sister, and felt his stomach bottoming out.Reggie was their provider. Mostly his sister's. He was very young when his parents passed away. With what little they left behind for him and his sister, he attained his education. Since it wasn't very huge, Reggie also had to work several part time jobs. Hunter knew all this because Reggie went to the same school as him. He was talented and intelligent. He didn't make friends as he didn't want any distracti

  • Regretting Divorce   Chapter 393

    393Hunter was scared to his wits now. He hadn't been as disturbed before. The fact that Penny was pregnant made his worry skyrocket. When he came back home, he saw a familiar guy standing outside the gates of his house with Cole. Hunter recognized him at once as he drove closer."Monty!" He came out of the car."Mr. MacIntyre." Monty came forward with an extended hand. "It's amusing that you still recognize me."Monty was Claire's friend from college. He was a detective by profession who exposed Zara’s secrets to Claire days before they got divorced. Hunter was both relieved and hopeful to see him there.'Why didn't I think about him before? He discovered Zara’s dark secrets earlier on. Finding her won't be hard for him' Hunter mused as he looked at him."Mr. Wordsmith told me about Penny. It's really shocking. I promise you I'll do my best to help find her before Zara can even touch a hair on her head." Monty said.Hunter led him inside his house, all while smiling at Cole for bring

    392Claire dashed inside what used to be her 'dream home' once and looked around hastily. The living hall was quiet. She called out for Thea but no reply came.Assuming that everyone must be up in the bedroom, she climbed the stairs. She was half way up when she heard footsteps. Claire turned around and froze when her eyes met with Hunter's.They had a fierce longing in them alongside grudge and emptiness. He was stunned to find her in 'his' house after all these weeks."P-penny... I heard about it from dad. Is it true?" Claire asked while descending the stairs slowly.Hunter just stared at her before he nodded, which caused Claire's knees to turn to mush. She sat down on the fourth step as her eyes tore up. Hunter's arms stopped a few inches away from her shoulders. His body had acted on an impulse when he saw her body going down and came running towards her to hold her.Feeling his heart banging in his chest, he looked away."Zara called me an hour ago. I don't know why she got Penn

    391"Claire, tell me." "Penny... I'm worried about my future. Hunter and I... I don't think he wants us to be together any more. He's hurt and—" "Bull shit! I get that you were mean to him but what makes you think Hunter won't want this child?" "I didn't say that he wouldn't want the child. It's just..." Claire sounded like she was on the verge of crying."Go on, Claire." "I've known Hunter since I was a teenager, and I know he's truly hurt by what I said and all that happened. Penny, I'm afraid what if... What if he... He takes the child away. I mean... I know what Hunter means when he says something... And him taking his ring off... I mean, what if he wants just the baby and not me. What if—""Claire! Claire! Calm down. You're just being delusional. Hunter will never do that. He's shown his love for you. So what if he's hurt!" Penny frowned at her. "It's just one slip on your part compared to his many. Hunter hurt you so many times and you still forgave him. Until now you’ve bee

    390Claire coughed weakly into her fisted hand as her mother checked her forehead. "The fever has come down. Thank God." She smiled. "She's going to get well soon, mom. I've got some amazing news for her. It’ll brighten her spirits and get her as energetic as a foal." Penny said excitedly. Andrea chuckled and departed, leaving the girls alone. Penny occupied the spot next to Claire on the bed and hugged her happily. She rocked her back and forth. "Woah, why are you so jubilant? Did you hit the jackpot!" Claire giggled, struggling to keep her balance. "What? You're blushing, Penny. What is it?" "Oh Laire, I'm soo happy.""Tell me quickly. I want to be happy too!" Claire tried to match her excitement.The last three weeks have been emotionally draining for Claire. Hunter's parents' death has caused her trauma that affected her health. First it was just weakness, then it led to fever. Then after Rashid dropped her home two weeks ago, she became so ill that her family doctor had to

  • Regretting Divorce   Chapter 389

    389The sky was a little clear tonight. The moon drifted in and out of sight behind the shifting clouds and the winds were soft. Cole was standing out on the patio, smoking. He was lost in deep and critical thinking. Hunter peeked out at him through the door and decided to approach him.He extended his palm out to Cole and pointed at his cigarette."You never smoke.""That was me from before. Now I do."Cole peered at Hunter ridiculously before slapping a new cigarette and a lighter on his palm. They didn't talk, they didn't look at each other. Their eyes gazed in the darkness or sometimes at the moon."Another one." Hunter said and Cole observed that Hunter had finished his cigarette while he was still on his first one. "What? Give me another cigarette." Hunter wiggled his fingers in front of him."Hunter, what are you doing? You don't touch a cigarette, let alone ask for another one within five minutes. Who are you trying to hurt? Yourself or Claire.""You don't need to know. This
