Claire was obviously not seeking death, and just wanted to borrow the seawater to wash her away her tears and snot. Even if her eyes were red and swollen for a moment, she can use the seawater as an excuse. Just when she felt that it was okay to stand up, a large arm came for her waist and pulled her back. She didn't have time to steady herself and she lost her balance. She leaned into his embrace.
"Don't tell me you want to die just because I want to reunite with my children?!" Dempsey thought she was committing suicide.
Claire coughed violently for being choked from the water. 'What? Who wants to die?' She thought. She still wants to live for another five hundred years. "Let me go. Don't touch me. So dirty..." When she thought of the hand that might have touched Alice Scott's body, Claire wished that she could chop off his hand that touched her.
"I saved you." The man reminded her angrily.
"Who wants you to save me? I wasn't able to stand properly just now and my leg cramped. That's why I fell down. Hurry up and let me go, hoodlum." Claire struggled in his arms.
Dempsey also did not want to touch her. Hearing her angry tantrum, he immediately let go.
With a plop, she choked again from seawater. 'This bastard must have done this on purpose.'
Dempsey narrowed his eyes, as he stared at her face that is red from anger and from choking of the seawater, and sneered, "Your leg cramped, and you're wasting my time." After, he headed to the shore.
"Dempsey Wilson! You are a complete bandit! You want to steal my precious children?" Claire roared loudly from behind him. Only part of her voice was covered by the sound of the waves.
Dempsey suddenly stopped walking, he slowly turned around, with complex look in his eyes, "It was you who stole my seed first. I'm only taking them back now!"
"You bastard!" Claire held onto her forehead and began to cry. "Who want to steal your seed? It was obviously you... it was you..."
"I was drugged that night, and you could have rejected me. But you didn't. Didn't you take the initiative to come over?" From what Dempsey knew, this woman is also a suspect of what happened that night.
"I... I'm not. I was unconscious that night. How could I have taken the initiative? If I had been awake, I would have killed you!" Claire became angrier, grabbed a handful of sand and threw it towards him. Unfortunately, the distance was far. As it didn't hit him, this only served to increase her frustration.
"Who would believe you?" Dempsey thought that she is lying. Wasn't this woman best at lying? He walked towards the villa.
Claire sat on the shore like still waters. She really hated the man. She sat by the seaside and stared blankly for a long time. When she thought about her children being snatched from her mercilessly by the man, her tears continuously fell. When she finished crying, she thought about finding her children, she went back to the house. The moment she stepped into the hall, she saw the tall man walking back and forth with a little girl cradled on his arms.
The little girl's face is pressed against the man's shoulder, her long hair in disarray, and one of her little thumb is in her mouth. She was fast asleep.
Claire was dumbstruck. Her daughter did have the habit of sucking her thumb when she sleep, but how did she fall asleep peacefully in the arms of the bastard?
Dempsey had been focused on coaxing his daughter to sleep. Not long after his daughter fell asleep, his gaze shifted towards the door. He gave a signal to Old Gary and the old man immediately nodded.
"Ms. Claire, I've prepared a new set of clothes for you. You should go in and take a shower." He said softly, afraid to disturb the sleep of the sleeping beauty.
Claire looked at her drenched clothes and went to the bathroom to shower. Her mind is still thinking about the scene she saw in the hall. Her cute daughter can actually fall asleep peacefully in the arms of an unfamiliar man. She was jealous and she felt a bitter taste in her mouth.
