Chapter 262 Wade Begins to Doubt Clarissa
+ Pearls
“Why so worked up? If you have nothing to hide, there’s no need to explain so quickly,” Kelly said casually as she washed her hands. She glanced at the assistant standing in the doorway. “A good dog knows when to step aside.”
After taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped and turned back to look at Wade. “Wade, you’ve raised quite the loyal dog. Too bad this one seems to have been fed by too many hands–it might not be as loyal as you think. Be careful. One day, for just a bit of petty profit, he might bite his own master.”
The assistant was so furious he nearly stomped in place, but his guilt kept him from arguing back.
Kelly ignored him and went back to her room.
“Grandpa… don’t listen to Kelly,” Clarissa pleaded, tears in her eyes. “She’s just using her status as a doctor to cause trouble on purpose.”
Wade nodded.
Clarissa quickly added, “Grandpa … I was just desperate and acted without thinkin. I won’t be so careless again. I really thought cold water would help lower his fever…
Wade remained silent for a moment before standing up and speaking again, “Clarissa, you must be tired, Let Ken take Shane to my room. You should get some rest.”
Clarissa stood frozen. She knew it–Wade no longer trusted her.
She could only watch as Ken carried Shane away. The moment they left, she snapped, tearing through the room in a frenzy.
Kelly! Why won’t she just die?!
No… Wade is starting to suspect me. I can’t wait any longer.
Kelly, Zev, I won’t let you off so easily!
In Kelly’s room.
After a hot shower, Kelly stood in the bathroom, drying her hair.
Jasper was already asleep when Zev snuck in, wrapping his arms around her from behind. “Honey, our son’s asleep.”
Kelly rolled her eyes. “And you should be too.”
Zev asked, “What’s going on over there?”
“Clarissa probably poured cold water on the kid. He had a high fever, but it should be going down by now. I already gave him medicine,” Kelly explained.
“How can someone be so cruel? I just don’t get it,” Zev muttered, nuzzling against her. “If only everyone were as kind and beautiful as my wife, the world would be a much better place.”

want…”
Kelly held back a laugh. Zev, you’ll say anything to get what you want … He was really piling on the compliments.
“I missed you … and so did it,” Zev shamelessly said, guiding Kelly’s hand.
Kelly’s face flushed red with irritation, but she couldn’t do anything about it, so she leaned in and kissed
him.
Zev’s lips curled into a smirk as he lifted her onto the sink. “No one should disturb us this time, right?” Kelly held his face, studying him under the warm light. Seriously… this was unfairly good–looking. Being handsome really was an advantage. He could get away with anything, even being shameless.
The temperature in the bathroom rose. Kelly had never resisted Zev’s fact, she found herself … addicted.
She used to believe she was reserved and raised in a scholarly family with she’d remain indifferent to such things, even after marriage.

nanners. She thought
Later, as a doctor, she rationalized it as nothing more than human instinct–the clash of hormones, the pull of dopamine.
But now, she embraced her feelings without hesitation. In Zev’s intoxicating presence, surrounded by his unrestrained passion, she could feel his love burning through every touch.
And in moments like this … the emptiness inside her always felt whole.
After hours of chaos in the bathroom, Kelly finally had enough. Frustrated, she bit down hard on Zev’s neck. “Zev… are you a kid? How many times already?”
“You owe me,” Zev said, as if keeping count.
Kelly laughed in exasperation, too drained to even lift a finger. “I’m going to sleep.”
“Beg me,” Zev teased, raising a brow.
Kelly chuckled, wrapping herself around him, her legs locked tightly around his waist–just in case he would act like a beast again. “Please …”
“Kelly, is that how you beg? Say it nicely,” Zev teased, squeezing her butt.
“You” Kelly gritted her teeth before sighing, “Honey I’m tired. I want to sleep.”
Zev chuckled, his tone laced with mischief. “Kelly, say you love me.”
He always lacked a sense of security.
He always had to repeatedly look for it during sex.

Que Clarissa
He would bite her neck again and again, forcing her to say she loved him.
As if only then could he feel at ease.
“Zev …
I love
you.
“I love you …”
I love you.
Zev never got tired of it, so Kelly kept repeating it.
Until she was too tired, and she drifted off to sleep against him.
Zev carefully rinsed her off again, dried her gently like she was a treasure, and put her to bed.
Before turning in, he kissed their son’s tiny cheek, then pressed a soft kiss to Kelly’s forehead. “Goodnight… my loves.”
At that moment, Zev felt truly happy.
The scars left by war and suffering were slowly, bit by bit, being healed.

The next morning, Kelly woke up to find it was already half past
Her entire body was sore.
She stretched lazily, then glanced over at Jasper, who was smile appeared on her lips.
“Jasper, where’s your dad?” Zev was nowhere in sight.
Sitting by the bed, playing with his toys. A happy
“Grandpa… sick … Daddy went-” Jasper tossed a toy and made a whooshing sound.
Kelly smiled and picked up her phone to call Zey
But the call… went straight to voicemail. His phone was switched off.
Her right eyelid twitched. A bad feeling crept up on her
