Chapter Forty-Two: They are getting along just fine

When Clair came out of the bathroom feeling more refreshed she found him walking back up the stairs.

She was wearing a bathrobe she found.

"Wear the-"He paused realizing there was no need. Clair looked at the bed and she pursed her lips.

"Wait. This is the only one I found so we might as well switch. Turn around." She waited for him to do as she said and she put on his shirt. She then handed him the bathrobe.

"We could just ask the hotel for one more bathrobe." He commented, taking it from her hands. "You could have mentioned that earlier." She sighed and he shrugged.

"Someone will come knock on the door. Wait for me I will open the door." He told her before going inside the bathroom. He did not feel like letting a possible male see her in that shirt of his, almost naked.

Clair shrugged and she walked towards the floor to ceiling window showing the beautiful view. "It's only been a few days and so much has changed." She whispered to herself, crossing her arms.

"I'm a married woman now." She pouted. "I should tell my psychologist I tried to kill my husband. Her reaction should be fun…"

…..

Clair laid down and put the comforter over her body. She waited for him to come before sleeping. She couldn't predict whether she would have another nightmare and she didn't want him to see her in a vulnerable state so she decided to stay awake all night.

James could smell her scent in the robe. Unexpectedly it brought him peace. He walked towards the bed and laid down next to her. Since there was silence between them he decided to do something about it.

"Tomorrow night, have everything ready for my arrival. I will stay with you until our engagement party." He told her. "Ah okay. Got it. I will have a room ready for you." She nodded.

"You are serious?" He turned around to face her and she ended up turning around as well. "We are husband and wife. It's natural that we sleep in one room."

"Oh right. Okay you will sleep with me in my room." She agreed. "You really have no problem?" He asked. "Of course not."

He looked down at her chest and his eyes darkened. "Are you sure? I'm still a man no matter what." He reminded her. "Oh, are you saying you will be tempted by my beauty?" She teased.

"Beauties I can find, many of them." He countered. "Oh but they are all plastic, while I'm natural." She winked. He scoffed and closed his eyes.

"I know you like beauties, Mr.Davis. I have already heard a lot about you but if I find you cheating on me I will surely end you. I treasure loyalty the most, no matter what kind of loyalty it is. If you want to do it don't let me catch because I will surely make you eat the thing you used to cheat on me with." She warned him.

James closed his eyes at her threat, unbothered. "I have done it before. Take my words very seriously." She whispered.

He gulped. "Alright got it." He gave her a chilly glare. "The same goes for you Mrs.Davis."

Clair smiled to hide her reaction.

'Gosh he's a bit scary with that expression…'

The next morning,

When he woke up James realized that after talking to Clair about them living together in her mansion he totally forgot about the staff member. They ended up falling asleep before he arrived.

He sighed and looked next to him. She had her head resting on his arm and her hand was inside his bathrobe hugging his waist.

Her messy hair and sleeping face brought him some unusual happiness. He subconsciously smiled.

Looking at her peaceful sleeping expression he himself could not believe that she's actually not the angel she appears to be. Her sleeping face was beautiful and innocent. It looked harmless but he knew better then that. This woman is a cold blooded killer.

Even if they are getting along just fine he was sure that if she needed to, she would surely kill him

He sighed and reluctantly brought her hand out of his robe. He gently laid her head on the pillow and he stood up. He sent the text to his assistant and he pondered on whether he should stay and have breakfast with her.

He sighed knowing he had to leave. A few minutes later his assistant dropped by with a new set of clothes for him and he had gone to her mansion to get some clothes for her.

It was difficult to convince her butler who had called him to make sure that Clair had indeed sent Jace to get her some clothes. He informed him that it was her husband calling and he found out that she had not told her servants about his existence.

Hmm, that kind of upset him....

Anyway….

He left the clothes in the empty space next to her on the bed and he got himself ready, Jace was waiting outside for him.

He adjusted his tie and he looked down at her sleeping figure while he also adjusted his sleeves. He leaned in and he kissed her forehead. He wanted to kiss her lips but a thought crossed his mind. 'Don't be too greedy and expectant.'

That thought completely erased his wish to have her adjust his tie for him and kiss him every morning and introduce him as her husband. The stupid illusions he had banished and he snapped back to reality. He moved away from her and his expression returned to the natural side of him.

The playfulness and all the thoughts about her were naturally blocked by his real personality.

Still, a part of him bid her goodbye and said 'See you later.'

He put down a few things on the nightstand beside the bed and he left a note. He gave her one last glance and he exited the hotel room.

The reason why he had those thoughts was because he would witness that from his parents since he was young. Maybe a part of him was still hoping that one day he could have that kind of happy marriage.
