Billionaires with Benefits

Chapter 81: I am Not For You

Lea could only stare at Clara with guilt. It reminded her of when William betrayed her. However, this was even worse because it was she who made Clara suffer like that. She felt she had made a big mistake.

"I still really love Dave. I'd be lying if I said I could forget him quickly," Clara continued, she turned to Lea and looked at her with disdain, as if Lea was a disease. "However, are you stupid or pretending to be stupid? Can you accept if your fiancé knocked another woman up?"

Lea opened her mouth, about to say something, but no words left her lips. Clara's gaze was sharp and piercing. If looks could kill, Lea would be dead by now because of the sharp hateful glare Clara threw at her.

"It's not just a month or two that I've known and been in a relationship with Dave. However, you just ruined it. I should have known that the woman Dave worked with was a slut!" Clara couldn't take it anymore. She expressed her annoyance as if it was all Lea's fault.

Clara got up from her seat. She was about to walk away from Lea. However, Lea hastily grabbed Clara's hand, preventing her from leaving. This was a rare opportunity to meet Clara, she couldn't miss it.

"Clara, I have been in your position, whether you believe it or not. I felt hurt when my boyfriend chose another woman. I even tried to get them separate. Maybe, you could say it's karma. However, I'm determined not to take Dave away from you," said Lea. "And I'll never be able to because there is only you in Dave's heart."

"It's rich coming from you," said Clara, laughing sarcastically.

"I intended to leave, hiding the baby from all of you. However, a lot of things happened that made the three of us like this," Lea explained further, hoping that Clara would understand that she was trying her best to stay out of trouble.

"It's okay, Lea. Dave and I already know that you are pregnant with his child. There's nothing you can change," Clara brushed Lea's hand away from her slender wrist, making a rattling sound from the bracelet Lea was wearing.

.....

Thinking that Clara no longer wanted to listen to excuses, Lea said without thinking, "What should I do to get you to accept Dave again?"

Clara stopped when she heard Lea's tantalizing words. She wanted to say: give your child to me then go away from my life. However, she was not that cruel. How could Lea happily give up her child?

"Come on, Lea. It's not as easy as you think," Clara said and didn't want to prolong the argument. Remembering the test papers she had in her pocket, she thought that perhaps this was what was best for her and Dave.

Before Lea said something in reply, Lea's smartphone rang. She immediately picked it up.

"Yes, this is Lea Kane," Lea replied with a panicked face. "What? I'll be right there."

Lea stood up, facing Clara guiltily. "I would have liked to have talked more, but my mother was in a bad state. I hope we can meet again some other time."

Without waiting any longer, Lea ran away to go to her mother's room. At the same time, Clara received a phone call from her parents. She had to go home early tonight because Dave's family was coming to her parents' house for dinner.

"Shit!" cursed Clara.

She had to face Lea and Dave in one day. It was too much for her. On top of it, there's a family gathering. She wanted to be alone in her apartment. Couldn't she take a rest for a while?

Later that night, Dave and Clara's family had dinner together. They met at Clara's house, to discuss the relationship between the two families.
