169 [Bonus chapter] 169. Come to Me

“Don’t go away from me again,” whispered Samuel again in his deep, deep voice. He embraced Clara tightly, almost squeezing her slender body.

Clara froze in Samuel’s arms. Logic compelled her to rebel, but feelings led her to return the man’s hug. She placed her hands on Samuel’s chest, burying her face in it. She sobbed violently, shedding all the burden that was in her heart.

Samuel stroked Clara’s back gently, allowing her to rage and settle down in his arms. He kissed her head softly, hoping it would ease her sadness. He didn’t force her to tell him what happened. He just wanted her to calm down.

“Why? Why don’t you just let me go?” Clara asked, sobbing. “What’s the point in holding me down?”

Samuel didn’t answer, he hugged Clara tightly. His gentle caresses on her brunette hair continued, making Clara feel the man’s tender care even more. 𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨ｍ

Clara enjoyed the protection that Samuel gave her. However, half of her warned that it was not good. It could lead them to another misery.

“Sam, let me go,” Clara whispered, her voice muffled as her crying grew heavier. “You can get other women who met your criteria, can’t you?” Clara asked again. She shook the man’s body lightly, demanding an answer that would force her to stay in his arms.

However, Samuel also didn’t understand how he should explain to her everything he was doing at the moment. He didn’t know why he chased after her when he had to wait on his sick mother. Shouldn’t he have stayed in the clinic? Shouldn’t his worries be undivided?

“I just don’t want to let you go any more,” Samuel whispered, barely audible. However, his voice was so clear to Clara’s ears. “I’m not going to do it again like the stupid Samuel six years ago.”

.....

Clara’s eyes heated up again. Her chest felt so tight. She burst into tears, making her weak body get even closer to his muscular body. Would everything be okay if she leaned into his arms?

Clara no longer wanted to oppose Samuel, either by word or deed. She knew she needed a hug right now. She needed support from him.

At that moment, Clara realized that God had not accidentally reunited her with a man from six years ago who had made her feel depressed. She reunited with the man because he would become a new source of strength for her during her hard time when she had no support from anyone.

“Sam, you will regret it later,” Clara whispered again, warning Samuel without being able to reveal the things she was keeping secret.

“On the other hand, I know for sure that I will regret letting you go,” whispered Samuel, making Clara even more helpless.

Samuel knew that, at this moment, Clara had completely submitted herself to him. He hugged her tighter, enjoying the mild cherry scent as if there would be no tomorrow for them. He wasn’t wrong. She could have left him again if he didn’t treat her well.

The tension between Clara’s body and Samuel’s body slowly disappeared. As if no barriers prevented the two of them, She felt herself merge with his body, feeling that she was a part of his muscular body.

Samuel also felt the same way, as if he had found a puzzle piece that had disappeared from his body. Neither of them was in bed. Neither of them was involved in sexual activity. However, they felt a deeper union than when their lower bodies were physically connected.

“Come with me,” whispered Samuel.

“I’m not in the mood to see that old doctor again,” Clara replied. Her sobs had lessened.

Samuel didn’t ask why Clara didn’t like Doctor Evans. He knew he had to give her a break before she could tell him everything at the right time.

“Then let’s go to my place,” whispered Samuel again, still hugging Clara tightly.

Clara didn’t answer. She felt that she did not want to meet people. Meanwhile, Samuel’s house was filled with so many people that it would make her feel like she was in an amusement park.

“I … am not feeling like meeting other people. Maybe next time I’ll stop by your house,” Clara said, trying to politely decline.

Samuel smiled at her reply. He broke away from the embrace, then said, “Do you think my parents forbade me from bringing a girl home, without providing a proper place for me?”

Clara’s swollen eyes narrowed, looking questioningly at Samuel. She then smiled as she understood what he wanted to say.

“Come on, let’s go to my penthouse. There’s not a single living creature there,” said Samuel, taking Clara’s hand.

However, Clara was unmoved. She remembered that Samuel needed to take care of his sick mother.

“What else?” asked Samuel confused. He thought that he had convinced her to come home with him.

“What about your mother?” Clara asked worriedly.

“I’ll take you to my penthouse and then come back to the clinic,” Samuel explained.

Clara thought for a moment, looked at Samuel doubtfully, then said, “Give me the address. I’ll take a cab there.”

Sam was in doubt. He was afraid that Clara would run away again. If she did, she might never come back to him again.

As if knowing Samuel’s concern, Clara said, “I’m not going to run away. Trust me!” Clara smiled, touching Samuel’s cheek gently. She lifted her face, looking into his jade eyes without even blinking at all.

Samuel then smiled at her. He knew that all good relationships start with mutual trust. He reached into his pocket and took out the penthouse key from there. He lifted Clara’s palm and placed the key in her open hand.

“Wait for me there,” said Samuel, looking at Clara meaningfully.

Clara smiled, waved her hand, and said, “Don’t you afraid if I steal your valuable things?”

“You did it,” Samuel replied with a sincere smile. He realized that the beautiful woman in front of him had succeeded in stealing his heart.
