Chapter 136
This was the first time Arabella had done such a lowly thing to temporarily mend her relationship with Cliff until she could find proof. Arabella kept her head down until Cliff was willing to accept her as his girlfriend again.
The atmosphere in the room was tense as Cliff greeted her with a cold stare. Arabella could feel goosebumps rising all over her, expecting Cliff to rush over to her in a panic and pick her up. However, the situation wasn’t what she expected.
“What are you doing?” Cliff snapped.
“Cliff, please, I want our relationship to go back to the way it was p>
Cliff laughed awkwardly as he walked over to his ex-girlfriend, who was still kneeling by the door. “So, now you’re begging me to get back together? Did you think I’d give in to you that easily p>
Arabella rubbed her palms together quickly. “I’m sorry, Cliff. It’s all my fault for causing this mess p>
“You’ve ruined my reputation to the point that Callum has taken my place! You’re truly insolent p>
“I promise I won’t disappoint you again this time. After all, the baby in my belly is yours now p>
“Can you be trusted p>
Arabella nodded and let out her broken tears. “I’m not lying. I’ve never lied to you because I love you, Cliff. I still remember your promise to marry me. I’m still waiting for you p>
Cliff rolled his eyes as he helped his ex-girlfriend stand up straight. Seeing her look so desperate in front of him for the first time made him want to bully her even more. Especially remembering her meeting another man a few days ago, which made him sick of dealing with this bitch.
“I’m being nice to you now because you’re pregnant. Hearing you confidently say that the child is mine, I’ll accept you now p>
“If you still doubt me, I will show you the DNA test results.” Arabella immediately took out a piece of paper from her sling bag and gave it to Cliff.
Cliff stared wide-eyed at the DNA test results, which confirmed the baby was his. He couldn’t avoid this situation now. He had promised Arabella he would marry her if she became pregnant, and now he had to keep his promise. However, what still made him angry and curious was why the man was still pursuing Arabella, even though they had broken up so long ago.
“I’ll believe you.” Cliff hugged her supple body, slowly stroking her back. “I’m sorry for accusing you earlier p>
“It’s okay. Now that you want to trust me again, I won’t dwell on those bad memories. I’ve forgotten everything p>
“I will marry you. Because I did wrong to you back then, I will take responsibility p>
Arabella slowly released the hug and then gripped her lover’s hands tightly. “I won’t be rash again. Actually, since then, I’ve been very worried about you because so many people hate you p>
“I’ve tried to forget it all too. It was certainly challenging at the time. But you don’t need to worry. I’ve resolved that issue p>
“By the way, what about Yvette back then? Why did she suddenly steal you away from me p>
“I was also confused at that time why he suddenly met me and asked me to drink until I was drunk p>
“So, did you really not sleep with her that night p>
“Of course! Even though she dragged me away at the time, I immediately refused. I actually wanted to fight her, but Yvette was so scary p>
“Why do you say that p>
“You saw it yourself. Earlier, she was reckless with you, even slapping you in the face. Of course, her behavior at that time was unforgivable p>
Arabella nodded, embracing her lover’s hand affectionately. “I won’t be weak in front of her again. I don’t want to disappoint you p>
“But, have you never looked for another man?” Cliff actually wanted to test Arabella’s answer.
“No. Why would I look for another man, except a few days ago my ex-boyfriend suddenly came to me p>
Cliff didn’t expect Arabella to be so honest with him. Did she really still love him? If that was the case, it would be even harder for him to break free from her.
“Your ex-boyfriend? That secret agent p>
“Now he’s no longer working as a secret agent, so he can refer me. But I still can’t accept him because he was the one who broke up with me in the first place. Men like him only want to take advantage of me p>
His strong arms wrapped tightly around his lover’s body again. “I won’t let that man bother you anymore. He doesn’t deserve to be your boyfriend p>
“That’s why you have to accept me as your lover. I don’t want to be a single mother p>
“I take back what I said earlier. If I ever act cruel again, you can cut ties with me p>
Meanwhile, Callum and Edith met at the boutique. Callum had an appointment to discuss the design of the suit he would wear to an important meeting in two weeks. Callum had a fitting for the suit and then showed it off to his fiancée and children in various poses. His twins’ reactions were rapturous applause.
“Dad is so cool,” Eliana praised, giving two thumbs up.
“My daughter, don’t make your mother jealous again p>
Edith chuckled as she straightened the slightly folded collar of her suit. “I’m always jealous every time I hear Eliana praise you. Even though I designed this suit for you p>
“Then, I also want to praise mommy as very beautiful so that daddy will be jealous,” Erdin mocked, laughing out loud until his cheeks turned red.
“Erdin, don’t let me get really jealous because of you p>
“This is because you let Eliana continue to praise you p>
drrrt…drrrt p>
Callum stared at his phone for a moment when he felt it vibrate in his suit pocket. He read Arabella’s text message, bringing him good news. A sly smile spread across his handsome face.
“Edith, Arabella has managed to win Cliff’s heart p>
“Really? I didn’t think Cliff would fall into her trap p>
“Now we just have to see how Arabella and James can get that evidence p>
