Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 643

"Natalia, you're the kid I carried for ten months, Even your life is a gift from me. If it wasn't for my risking childbirth complications to have you, there wouldn't be a 'you' right now." Clair was practically screeching like a lunatic, "I've gone through hell for you. Everyone else can screw me over, but not you!"

Natalia’s face was swollen from being hit, but she seemed oblivious to the pain.

She glanced at Clair, then looked out of the house as if something outside was pulling her attention, "Hah, I am your child. Did you ever ask me if I wanted to be born? You think I asked for this life?"

"Natalia!" Clair looked at Natalia's reddened face and then her own hand, feeling a pang of guilt, "Natalia, I'm sorry! I didn't really mean to hit you, I just lost control. Can you forgive me?"

Natalia seemed unfazed by the slap, even managing a small smile, "Go ahead and hit me if you want, you're not the first and you certainly won't be the last."

"Natalia, my poor sweet girl." Clair pulled Natalia into a hug, "I promise, from now on you'll stay at the Reese family mansion, you won't have to go back to the villa and live alone with Cameron."

If Clair had told her this before yesterday, she might have been happy about it. But right now, she couldn't muster any joy. She had this gut feeling that going back to live at the Reese family mansion right now might not be the escape she hoped for, but rather jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.

Clair was hugging Natalia, but she didn't notice Natalia's mood and kept talking, "Natalia, trust me. Once you marry Marcus, nobody will dare to mess with you again."
