Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: Devil Couple

The pair of devils now moved to continue their steamy play on the bed, leaving the room in disarray. Arabella's naked body was covered only by a blanket, and Cliff was still eager to attack her sexy body until he was satisfied. Just as he was about to touch a sensitive area on her body, he suddenly decided against it.

Arabella wondered what Cliff was thinking today, as he was unusually nervous. Has something happened to him that made him lose focus? She also didn't want to be selfish and wanted to be a good listener. Her right hand lifted her lover's chin.

"What's wrong with you today? You seem unfocused. Especially since we're doing this during the day, it's unusual for you to be like this."

"Arabella, this is the last time we will do this."

Arabella furrowed her eyebrows. "What do you mean?"

"After today, we will break up."

"Are you crazy?!" Arabella screamed with a glare.

Cliff folded his arms. "I haven't finished speaking yet, and you already think I'm crazy." He laughed sarcastically, shaking his head. "So it's true what everyone says. You're a shameless woman."

"You've completely lost your mind! Why did you suddenly ask to break up when you were still stripping me naked?!"

"I'm going to marry my ex-fiancé."

"What?! You're going to marry that bitch?"

"Yes, now I want to marry her. Actually, I have another goal."

"I'll assume you married her for your own benefit. But what about me? Are you going to throw me away now?!"

Cliff bit his lover's red lips with a cold gaze. "No. In fact, I'll still marry you later after I complete my mission."

"I never thought you'd be such a jerk, Cliff! You're a master at playing with women's hearts. No wonder your ex-fiancée immediately called off your wedding."

"I married Edith so I could steal her twins." Cliff grinned at his lover. "Aren't you still after Callum even now?"

"Cliff, actually I–"

"I know you still come around to Callum and flirt with him secretly. Even though you already know that Callum has a child now."

"But, the son doesn't have a mother."

Cliff burst out laughing, putting his arm around his lover's shoulders. "The child's mother is Edith."

"What?! So, that bitch… got pregnant with Callum?"

"That's why I have to take the twins from them now. I've been pressuring Edith to marry me so I can control her twins. This way, Callum will lose everything." He cleared his throat. "If you want to marry Callum, I won't have a problem with it."

"If you had succeeded in taking the twins, what would you have done with Edith? Would you have thrown her away?"

"I'm definitely going to dump her because she cheated on me secretly. If she hadn't, I wouldn't hate her so much." Cliff bit the crook of her neck deeply. "I want you too. Only you can satisfy me everytime."

After spending half a day playing with their twins, the twins retired to their respective rooms, while Callum and Edith played on the swing in the backyard. Edith's eyes sparkled as she stared at Callum's handsome face, making her heart flutter even more. She thought to herself that if she married Callum, her life would be blissful, as she was truly enjoying her day off. It was true what Eliana had said before; Callum was a loving, funny, friendly, and gentle man.

"Thank you, Callum."

Callum's smile widened as he looked at his beloved woman. "It's the first time I've smiled all holiday."

"It turns out Eliana wasn't lying to me. You're indeed a cheerful man."

"What did Eliana tell you about me?"

"She really likes you. She can't wait to play with you. You never stop joking around with her. Plus, you're always sensitive to what she wants."

"Because she looks so much like me."

"I admit, this is the first time I've felt comfortable with a man." Her cheeks flushed red as she stared at the smile Callum was showing right now, it was too sweet.

"Me too. This is the first time I've ever spoken comfortably with a woman."

"Callum, if I hadn't decided to let Eliana transfer schools, wouldn't we still be friends?"

"Actually, there was another way for me to meet you." His hands gripped the woman he loved tightly. "You're a famous designer. It was actually quite easy to find you."

"What do you think the DNA test results will be? Are you excited to be the father of twins?"

"You don't have to be a secret nanny anymore. Our relationship can move to the next level."

Edith lowered her head in shame, slowly stroking the back of Callum's soft hand, making her want to cuddle even more. As time went on, her heart began to feel strongly that Callum was her husband. But why was Callum still unwilling to admit it openly? Was he planning something she didn't know about?

"Callum, if we were at that stage, what would you do to me?"

"I'll definitely treat you better than before. I won't leave you alone. Plus, I'll protect you from all the bad people who want to harm you."

Edith furrowed her brows. "How did you know all along that someone was out to harm me?"

"The accident you had five years ago, do you think it was just an ordinary accident that separated Eliana and Erdin?"

"That… actually, I'm still investigating it secretly. But I don't have any evidence at all."

Suddenly, a sweet memory from her past struck her, making her head feel like a bomb was about to explode. She could see it with her own eyes; the sweet memory showed her smiling happily on a date with a handsome man whose face she couldn't quite make out. She was very curious: who was that handsome man? Judging by his dashing physique, he looked very much like Callum.

Meanwhile, Callum panicked at his girlfriend's sudden strange behavior. He immediately embraced her lovingly. Had his girlfriend suddenly regained her memory?

"Edith, what's wrong with you? Calm down!"
