"At that time, Damon was just about as big as Kayden. "The first time Damon saw me at Nicholas' place, he kept clinging to my leg, calling me "Ms. Davies" non-stop. "He refused to go back for dinner even when the servant came to take him, and he kept crying. "Later, Mrs. Bishop had no choice but to send him over to find me again that day."Fiona told Celeste, "Look at him now, acting all aloof. But in reality, he's the clingiest.""Can't even have a meal in peace with you around, Fiona?" Damon frowned immediately after his weaknesses were pointed out. "No wonder Kayden likes the pretty girl. It runs in the family." Celeste recalled the scene where Kayden wanted her to carry him the first time they met. She also imagined Damon clinging to Fiona's leg and refusing to leave, which made her burst into laughter.Fiona was almost seven years older than Damon. She had lived abroad for a long time. So, she didn't have the typical delicate appearance of a local woman. She was t
As the conversation reached this point, Celeste's insistence on going made it seem like she didn't trust Fiona Even though Celeste had good intentions, being unjustly suspected still made her feel uneasy.Considering Fiona's kindness to Caleb, Celeste chose not to say much and got up to fetch clothes for Damon.While Celeste helped Damon put on his shirt, he frowned discontentedly. "Why can't Liam go?"Getting called away from Celeste late at night made him really angry."If Fiona specifically asked for you, then just go. Consider it as payback for all those times you clung to her leg when you were little," Celeste teased Damon while attentively buttoning his shirt and planting a kiss on his forehead, finally managing to calm him down."Alright. Wait for me to come back, darling," Damon said, lowering his head for a kiss. Then, he immediately dialed Fiona's number as he walked out."Where are you?" Damon asked on the phone, and Fiona responded him."Wait for me..." Damon said.
Although those two children were born through surrogacy, they still carried half of Fiona's genes and were raised by her. The bond between them was undeniable. The reason behind Fiona's current state of intoxication stemmed from being barred from seeing her own children as a mother. "Get up. I'll send you home first. We can deal with anything tomorrow when you're sober." Damon's heart softened, and he reached out to help her up."Danny..." Fiona clung to Damon tightly, crying into his neck.Harry was the wealthiest man in Mapolia, and the only one who could match him domestically seemed to be Damon. Fiona calling for Damon to pick her up also meant something else. She wanted to prove her charm, to prove that Harry wasn't her only shot at happiness, and she could get any man of any status or age if wanted. However, Damon just felt sorry for Fiona and couldn't push her away again. So, he patted her back to comfort her."Where is your home? I'll send you back," Damon said..
Fiona was already awake, eating breakfast at the dining table. Damon sat across from her, engrossed in his phone, either finished with his meal or yet to start.Everything seemed normal, except for the fact that Fiona was wearing Damon's shirt. When Damon brought her back yesterday, she was wearing a shirt and jeans. Now, she still had the jeans on, but the shirt had been replaced with Damon's.There were disposable pajamas for guests available in the guest room. But Fiona chose not to wear them and put on Damon's clothes instead, which seemed inappropriate. Besides, where did Fiona get Damon's shirt? Did she go to their dressing room?Celeste frowned slightly, feeling uneasy. "You're awake?" Damon noticed Celeste's approach and asked, reaching out to pull the chair beside him for her. Celeste nodded, took a seat across from Fiona."Fiona, are you feeling better now?" Celeste asked politely, trying to keep her cool. "Much better. Thanks for yesterday." Fiona nodded, not
Fiona left the Bishop residence and didn't go back to her own place. Instead, she went straight to the hospital for work. Just as she arrived at the entrance, she ran into Nicholas, who had just arrived as well, and they entered the building together."Are you coming back from some guy's place?" Nicholas couldn't help but ask when he saw her wearing an oversized men's shirt."I spent the night at Damon's house yesterday." Fiona raised an eyebrow."What?" Nicholas' eyes widened. He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, immediately became intrigued. "You spent the night at Damon's house and even wore his shirt... Tell me, what's going on between you two?"Before Fiona could respond, Nicholas continued, "Wait a minute, Fiona. Damon was head over heels for Celeste. How come he's getting cozy with you? Are you joking?""I'm not joking. But, I'm quite interested in Damon now. I want to give it a try." Fiona didn't hide her intentions."What? There are tons of single men out there. Why hi
The young girl attracted men by being innocent, beautiful, sweet, and caring. But Fiona felt that she moved past that phase. Just like how top makeup artists often go bare-faced and top fashion designers stick to wearing all black. Fiona saw people like Leah and Sherry as being beneath her. The world hyped up Fiona's deeds. But, she was surprisingly naive and straightforward with the men around her. She never even posted her selfies on social media because she didn't need to rely on that for attention. Fiona was the story itself, arousing people's curiosity.After wearing Damon's shirt under her white coat all day, Fiona washed it clean that night and brought it to the Bishop Tower the next day after work. As others left one by one, the receptionist said Damon was still working overtime. Fiona didn't bother asking the receptionist to inform him she was there and instead sat alone on a couch in the lobby waiting.When Damon finally finished his overtime and came out, t
"What are you doing?" Damon furrowed his brow with disdain, extending a hand to push Fiona's shoulder, creating some space between them."You said you had empty eyes, why won't you look at me? If you really look at me, I bet your eyes won't be empty anymore," Fiona recited lines from a classic, her body restrained from moving forward, but her head leaning closer."Fiona, are you crazy?" Damon pushed her away with force, distancing himself."Even if I didn't have someone I love, I still wouldn't be interested in you," he retorted. His face contorted with disdain.Fiona wasn't offended, though."Come on, Danny. The more you resist, the more excited I get," she said as she rushed toward Damon and clinging onto him.Damon grabbed the back collar of Fiona's fur coat and pulled her off him directly, the action more like throwing away a sandbag than a beautiful woman."Stop fooling around," he said with a stern face, anger growing in his eyes.Only then Fiona stuck out her tongue and
But in the following weeks, things didn't go down the way Celeste had figured.Celeste expected Fiona would come frequently, and in the midst of her busy schedule, she'd have to divert her attention to prevent interference in hers and Damon's relationship. However, Fiona's attitude didn't change much.When Celeste took Caleb for a follow-up appointment, Fiona had just finished a five-hour surgery, her eyes heavy with exhaustion. Celeste was about to suggest switching doctors, but Fiona waved her off.With extreme patience, Fiona checked on Caleb's leg recovery situation and arranged for him to have an X-ray. "Don't worry. I won't do anything unethical just because I have feelings for Damon," Fiona said after Caleb was sent out by the nurse.Leaning back against the leather chair, Fiona seemed to want to talk with Celeste.Celeste was taken aback. She thought Fiona would play dumb or at least not mention her intention with Damon. Celeste hadn't expected Fiona to be so upfro
