Chapter 206: I Will Marry You
The sudden embrace left Elara Don stunned.
She frowned and pushed him, "What are you doing?"
"I’m happy."
Damon Hawke hugged Elara Don tightly, "Elly, I’m so happy that the woman from four years ago was you."
It was her from the very beginning!
No chaotic other women involved!
It was destined in the dark that he and she were meant to be together!
The man’s chest was broad, carrying a trace of heat.
Elara Don felt a flutter in her heart but forced it down.
She pushed him away forcefully and said flatly, "I’m not happy because to me, you’re just an asshole who ruined my life!"
Four years ago, he ruined her purity and took away her normal life.
Four years ago, he deceived her, using her as a stand-in for someone else.
She was utterly fed up with this ill-fated relationship!
Damon Hawke choked, watching Elara Don skillfully wash and cut vegetables, and he sighed inwardly.
"Elly, I’m sorry, it’s my fault for causing you pain. Rest assured, I will marry you."
He will marry her!
Is it because he hurt her and now wants to make amends?
Elara Don let out a light snort.
"Sorry, Mr. Hawke, if I weren’t afraid of embarrassing my son and letting everyone know they have a father who committed rape, I would have already reported you and let you eat state rice."
Damon Hawke: "..."
She actually said that!
"Elly, do you hate me that much?"
His eyes were deep as he stared fixedly at Elara Don.
Elara Don paused in her chopping, pursing her lips without saying a word.
Hate him?
Probably...not.
Just can’t take it lying down!
Also feeling wronged!
How dare he toy with her feelings?
Make a mess of her life?
The woman silently cut vegetables while Damon Hawke’s chest filled with boundless frustration.
He snatched the knife from her hand and gripped her shoulders firmly.
"Elly, I really like you, and I genuinely want to spend my life with you. I want you to marry me!"
The man’s gaze was fiery, with a hint of dominance.
Elara Don’s shoulders were pinned painfully.
She gave a light mocking smile, "Marry you? Mr. Hawke, I could never marry a liar. Give up on that idea."
He lied to her?
Damon Hawke was stunned, a look of inquiry on his face.
What did he lie to her about?
Could it be...
"Elly, tell me clearly, what did I lie to you about?"
Did she know about his dual identities?
His son’s reminder flashed through his mind.
Since his son said so, Elara Don must know!
"Mr. Hawke, I really admire you. How could you think of approaching me under the guise of a thug? Do I really seem that gullible? Like some naive sweet girl?"
Elara Don shook off Damon Hawke’s hand forcefully, questioning him.
So she really knew!
That’s why she was so angry!
Why she suddenly changed her attitude towards him.
Damon Hawke suddenly understood.
Looking at Elara Don’s angry and pretty face, he softened his tone, "I’m sorry, Elly, I didn’t mean to deceive you, I..."
"You didn’t mean it, you did it on purpose."
Elara Don interrupted Damon Hawke’s words, "Alright, Mr. Hawke, I don’t care whether you are Damon Hawke or Thomas King, it has nothing to do with me. I just want to be with my two sons, so please don’t come to disturb us anymore."
Men are all pigs!
All she wants is her sons!
Damon Hawke’s unfinished words got stuck in his throat.
He looked steadily at Elara Don, "Elly, you mean, you don’t want me, just the sons? Don’t forget, both sons carry the Hawke family blood!"
What is this woman trying to do?
She actually wants to exclude him from their lives?
How infuriating!
"So what, do you want to fight me for custody of the children?"
Elara Don suddenly stared at him, questioning.
Damon Hawke frowned, his face darkening.
"Elly, the children carry the Hawke family blood, that’s an indisputable fact. If you want to be with the two children, you can only marry me. Otherwise..."
This damned woman dares to exclude him from her life!
He must give her a warning!
"Otherwise, what? If I don’t marry you, you’ll take both children away? Damon Hawke, you bastard!"
Elara Don’s voice heightened in anger!
Outside, the two little ones had already run to the kitchen door.
Hearing the conversation between the two, they exchanged glances, both furrowing their little brows.
Dad and mommy are fighting!
What should they do?
Damon Hawke maintained a composed face, "Elly, I won’t take the children away from you, but I did say, I want you to marry me."
He wanted her to compromise!
Why wouldn’t she marry him!
"Damon Hawke, just give up on this! I could never marry you! If you want to fight me for the children, fine, let’s see each other in court!"
Elara Don pressed down the sourness in her nose, lifting her chin stubbornly.
She intends to take legal action against him!
Damon Hawke nearly laughed in anger.
"Elly, you should know my identity. Do you think in Sea City, if you take me to court, you have a chance of winning?"
"Why wouldn’t I have a chance?"
Elara Don replied angrily, "Damon Hawke, don’t think you can cover the sky with one hand. Even if you have power, I believe in the fairness of the law. What about your identity? Just because your identity is too convoluted, the children would be in danger with you. If you still care about the children, you should let me raise them."
Hearing this, Damon Hawke’s eyes shifted slightly.
His identity is too convoluted?
The children would be in danger with him?
Is she referring to how his other identity might bring danger to the children?
Damon Hawke paused, "Elly, do you think if I let you raise the children, they won’t be my blood, Damon Hawke’s? Since they are, they have no choice."
These are predestined.
The children’s blood flows with his genes, if someone really wanted to deal with him, then none, not even the children nor she, could escape!
Elara Don looked at Damon Hawke, apparently understanding the implication in his words.
She bit her lip, unable to retort for a moment.
Indeed!
If the children’s identities weren’t exposed, perhaps everything could still be negotiated.
But now, the Hawthorne knows about Bea’s existence, and soon everyone, including Damon Hawke’s adversaries, will know about the existence of the two children.
Wanting to take the children away now would be like covering one’s ears and stealing a bell?
"Mommy, don’t be sad, I said, I will never leave you."
Bea, seeing Elara Don’s eyes reddening, hurriedly ran inside.
"Dad, you are not allowed to bully mommy."
Dominic Hawke followed inside, saying to Damon Hawke.
The brothers stood on either side of Elara Don, both glaring at Damon Hawke intensely.
Damon Hawke was utterly speechless.
What heinous deeds did he commit?
To be looked upon by his two sons with opposing gazes?
He’s only trying to marry and cherish her, is that wrong?
...
The Hawke Family.
"Old Huang, what did you say, I have another grandson? You’ve sent the picture over?"
Elder Hawthorne, listening on the phone, furrowed his old brows, his face full of skepticism.
After hanging up, he clicked on the message from his friend, and upon seeing two identical little faces, his eyes instantly widened.
"Old lady, come quick, something big has happened!"
