Chapter 369 Longing Turns into a Kiss
Lately, his mind has been filled with thoughts of longing, and he simply couldn't express them all.
Raymond's body pressed tightly against Paige, whispering seductively in her ear. "It looks like I'll have to show you with actions."
With that, Raymond cupped the back of Paige's head with one hand, pressing his lips to hers, deepening the kiss with passion.
It wasn't just Raymond who felt the longing; Paige had also been tormented by these feelings during this time.
At this moment, the kiss fused all their longing, turning it into a tender and lingering embrace.
They kissed with such intensity and abandon, losing themselves in the moment.
Finally, as they fell onto the bed and Raymond was about to take the next step.
Paige suddenly snapped back to reality. "No."
Raymond asked, "What's wrong?"
Paige instinctively touched her belly. She wasn't alone now; the baby inside her had just survived a car accident, and although the baby was stable now, probably couldn't handle such movements.
Raymond covered his forehead, rolling onto his back on the bed, looking utterly defeated.
Any other reason might not have made him feel this bad.
But the baby inside Paige's belly was something he absolutely couldn't ignore.
Raymond complained, "How could I forget about him? Not even born yet, and he was already ruining my plans."
Paige, who had also been aroused by Raymond, couldn't help but laugh at his words.
She propped herself up, looking at the frustrated Raymond with interest, her desire subsiding, replaced by a triumphant laugh. "Raymond, even you have days like this.It looks like the baby inside is really a formidable opponent for you."
Raymond, feeling helpless, rolled over and pinned Paige beneath him again.
Just as he was about to kiss her again, Paige timely covered her mouth. "Don't start a fire unless you're a firefighter!"
Raymond answered, "I want to be a firefighter, but this one won't let me."
Raymond gently touched Paige's belly.
Their baby was growing inside, and as Raymond touched Paige's belly, he felt a sense of wonder. "Alright, I'll let you off this time. But once the baby is out, you'll see how I deal with you. And you can still laugh about it!"
Of course, Paige could still laugh about it. After all, there was still a long time before the baby was born.
She could still be smug for several months.
Raymond said this with a smile, resting his head on Paige's belly.
Although common sense told him that the baby inside Paige was no bigger than a potato, knowing the baby was there made resting his head on her belly feel magical.
Paige's hand naturally rested on Raymond's head, her fingers running through his hair, gently smoothing it. "What are you listening to?"
Raymond answered, "Listening to see if our little princess is saying she misses me."
Paige smiled, "How do you know it's a princess? What if it's a prince?"
Raymond said, "That's the father-daughter bond we have."
Paige replied, "She's so tiny, she can't talk to you yet."
Raymond lifted his head, looking at Paige with eyes full of love, "Paige, thank you."
Paige was confused. "Why the sudden thanks?"
Raymond said, "Thank you for coming back, thank you for being my wife, thank you for carrying our child. This child symbolizes our love. Although it was unexpected, I'm really looking forward to her arrival."
Paige sat up, leaning against the headboard. "This feeling is so amazing. I never thought that in a blink of an eye, I would be a mom too. It feels like just yesterday, I couldn't bear the fact that my mom was gone. But this child came into being when my mom passed away. Sometimes I can't help but think, how happy she would be if she knew. But she never had the chance to know. This child means a lot to me."
Raymond nodded, "Paige, do you like children?"
"Not particularly, but I like this one in my belly, simply because she's our child." Paige smiled softly at Raymond.
When she first found out she was pregnant, Paige felt more guilt than anything else.
But later, no amount of guilt could lessen her love for her child.
Because of this impending motherhood, Paige couldn't understand how a mother could abandon her own child after carrying them for ten months.
Raymond didn't realize that Paige's pregnancy would make her think more about why she was abandoned.
At this moment, he was just happy. "That's right, this is our child."
Paige asked, "Raymond, do you think we can really find the secret funds? If we spend our whole lives searching and never find them, what will our child's future be like?"
She had accepted the Ellison family's fate, and Raymond was also from the Carnegie family.
For so many years, Raymond had lived as a member of the Northwind Carnegie family, hiding his true identity.
The Russell family and the Hamilton family were now at the top, having once united to bring down the Carnegie family and destroy the Douglas family.
If they couldn't reclaim their former position, would their and their child's future be affected?
Suddenly bringing this up, a certain light in Raymond's eyes dimmed. "My parents died because of them. My child will never repeat this fate!"
Of course, Paige didn't want her child to repeat the fate of their ancestors, but the secret funds were not easy to find.
So far, she had one clue from Wesley and Raymond had two clues, making a total of three.
Back then, the Douglas family was completely destroyed, so the clue belonging to the Douglas family would be extremely hard to find.
The other two clues naturally belonged to the Russell family and the Hamilton family.
So, there were still five clues to the secret funds with no leads.
With the current strength of the Carnegie family and the Ellison family, even combined, they couldn't compete with the Russell family and the Hamilton family.
So, not only were Paige and Raymond's fates uncertain, but also was the fate of the child in her belly.
Paige naturally felt anxious and worried.
