Chapter 83 Bethany Feels Guilty
The wind came up suddenly and poured into her, causing a slight coolness. Bethany tightened her
clothes and felt even more disordered.
She looked back at Raymond, who had returned to the cabin. For a moment, she didn't know whether
to go in or stay outside. It had been a very touching and warm scene of the birthday celebration just
now, but the atmosphere had suddenly become awkward.
What was worse was that there were only the two of them on the yacht, so Bethany could only brace
herself to go back to the cabin and face Raymond.
"Well, if any of my words just now made you unhappy, I..."
Raymond interrupted her, "You didn't say anything wrong. It has always been me who insists on asking
you to marry me. You have refused me, and I respect your opinion. From now on, you will be my
fiancée only in name. My only request is that you have to play this role well in front of outsiders, and I
won't force you to do anything else. Is that okay, Dr. Caldwell?"
Bethany instantly felt like a lump in her throat. She couldn't help but think, "Why is he suddenly so
angry?
Tonight, he said he needed a wife, and I clearly didn't refuse that. I just made everything clear in
advance, but he was instantly angry."
"It's late, and I have an early meeting tomorrow, so I have to go to bed now." Bethany had meant to say
something, but his words silenced her.
"Okay. Good night," Bethany could only say so.
Bethany didn't know if Raymond was really asleep, but he had already closed his eyes and directly
ignored her. Therefore, she could only politely leave the bedroom and return to the deck.
Looking up at the sky, she felt the night on the sea was very beautiful, and she couldn't hear anything
except the sound of the waves around her. She felt very comfortable.
Bethany sat down directly on the deck, and the words of Raymond echoed repeatedly in her mind, as
well as the scenes of Raymond taking care of her in the hospital in the past few days. She suddenly
realized that he had been very considerate to her.
"If he really has no feelings for you, why would he stay with you in the hospital all these days?"
Ainsley's words suddenly rang in her mind.
She thought, "Am I really too dull? Does Raymond really like me? I have never expected that, and I
have never dared to think so."
With that in mind, Bethany could not help but mock herself, "Melisa Hamilton, you're so pathetic."
She then said in her heart, "What happened back then is really a scar in my heart, and it's
unspeakable.
I'm really struggling now. First of all, I urgently hope to find Mrs. Gina to get my eldest son back as
soon as possible. Secondly, I do not want to suffer such grievances.
I have slept with no one but that man, and I am sure that the triplet is his. The DNA test result that Mrs.
Gina showed me back then must be fake, although I do not know where the problem lies.
I want to clarify this matter after finding Mrs. Gina, but I'm afraid if she knows the truth, she will take
away Tyrone and Shayla instead of giving my eldest son back to me.
This remains a big trouble for me, so I'm really in no mood to talk about love and marriage now."
Bethany sighed in hesitation and then looked into the cabin again. She guessed that Raymond was
asleep, but she could not sleep at all.
Since she had displeased him, Bethany behaved very well and waited obediently outside the bedroom
the next morning.
"Good morning," greeted Bethany quickly as she saw him coming out of the bedroom.
"Good morning. I will drive you home after the yacht docks. I'll be very busy these few days, and I'll call
you on the day of the construction banquet," replied Raymond in a lazy tone.
"Okay." Bethany could tell by his words that he did not want to see her in the following few days.
Soon after, as Raymond had said, the yacht docked, and he drove her home. Thinking of what had
happened last night, Bethany said, "Thank you very much for celebrating my birthday for me last night,
and I'm very sorry for making you unhappy."
"It's okay. It's my fault." Raymond's tone was quite gentle. "Hurry home. You're still in recovery now, so
don't work too late online, Dr. Caldwell."
"I know. So do you."
"Okay." Raymond nodded and turned to leave.
Bethany watched him leave and suddenly felt somewhat guilty.
Raymond had just returned to the company when his phone rang, and it was from Tyrone.
"Daddy!" Tyrone asked excitedly as soon as Raymond answered the phone, "Did you celebrate Beth's
birthday for her last night? Was it a super romantic night?"
Yesterday, Tyrone did not call Raymond for fear of disturbing their date. Now, he couldn't help it
anymore.
"Not bad," said Raymond casually.
"Just not bad?" Tyrone was very surprised. "The decorations on the yacht were so romantic that Beth
should have been moved to tears when she saw them. How could it be just not bad?"
The decorations on the yacht were all prepared by Raymond under the guidance of Tyrone, who knew
well that Bethany had a strong sense of ritual and loved romance very much.
Therefore, Tyrone didn't understand why the birthday surprise yesterday was just not bad. He had
expected Bethany to be deeply moved and the two of them to spend a romantic night together.
Hearing his words, Raymond smiled bitterly and said, "Damion, your plan did not work this time. The
mommy you want is not that easy to truly become yours, understand?"
"No. Do you mean that it's not easy for you to make Beth your wife?"
Raymond was speechless for a moment. He thought, "He really knows how to translate my words,
doesn't he?"
Tyrone continued, "Then just keep pestering her. It took my great efforts to persuade you to chase her,
so you can't give up so easily. As the saying goes, 'The harder it is to get, the more precious it is.' You
have to try your best!"
With a complex mood, Raymond said, "Well, you really know a lot."
"I'm just telling the truth."
"Alright, Damion, I should go to work now. See you tonight."
"Okay. See you later, Daddy."
After putting down his phone, Raymond smiled bitterly again and thought, "Just keep pestering her?
I've never expected that I, such a magnate, would also suffer from this kind of thing." Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
When Bethany returned home, she was still frustrated, but as soon as she entered the door, she met
Ainsley's indescribably strange gaze.
Ainsley was smiling meaningfully as if she had known something.
"Welcome back," said Ainsley with a smile.
Bethany nodded and then quickly explained, "I received his call yesterday, but I didn't expect him to
take me out, so I..."
"I know. He prepared a birthday surprise for you. It's a common thing among young people in love
nowadays," replied Ainsley smilingly.
Bethany was stunned for a moment at that.
Then she hurriedly said, "No, Ainsley, we're not in love now."
"The ambiguous stage before love, right? Although I haven't been in a relationship before, I know what
love is about," said Ainsley.
Hearing that, Bethany was stunned again.
