99 Days Trapped in the Body of the Royal Prince’s Wife - Chapter 22

At 07.11 am, Nathan woke up and glanced beside him. He frowned when he realized Clara wasn’t there, so he immediately sat around and looked around the golden white room.

“Oh my… Why is she sleeping there?”

Nathan saw Clara sleeping on the couch with a diary lying on her chest. The man immediately got up and put on his black underwear, then walked over to his wife who was still sleeping.

“Honey… Honey, wake up…” Nathan patted Clara’s cheek lightly. He sat beside his wife’s stomach, looked at her very intensely, and kept trying to wake her up. “Honey… you better get into bed. sleeping here is uncomfortable.”

“Hmm….but I’m still sleepy,” Clara said writhing and wrapping her arms around Nathan’s waist with her eyes still closed. “Let me sleep before I go to continue my mission.”

“Mission… What mission do you mean?’ asked Nathan.

Clara didn’t answer. she just stood still with her eyes closed, for it was as if she had fallen asleep again. Hemm … it seems that thinking about the task to be done is making her delirious.

Nathan took a deep breath, staring at the sleeping Clara again. “Looks like she’s delirious.”

Because he couldn’t bear to see Clara sleeping on the couch, Nathan carried her to the bed. He laid his wife’s body carefully in the middle of the bed, then put the blanket up to her chest. The man sat beside his wife leaning on the headboard, staring at her very intensely.

‘You’re so different… I don’t seem to see the old you. I don’t see you who are always cheerful and spoiled,’ he thought in surprise.

Drett … drett …

His cell phone which was on the table near the bed rang. Nathan grabbed the sophisticated object and saw an incoming call from Patricia. Reluctantly, he answered the call.

“What is it?” he asked sharply.

“Frederica is sick. She keeps calling you…”

“Then calm her down and take her to the hospital or call the family doctor,” Nathan shouted.

“But she wants you, you are her father… you are always with her… maybe this is why she is sick because now you are far from her and don’t allow her to come to see you!” said Patricia sounding annoyed.

“Patricia!” Nathan tightened his jaw, felt his emotions rise, and started to clench his left hand. “Don’t use her to keep coming near me. I will never be with you!”

“Nathan, I’m no longer in the mood to be your wife, but it’s Frederica who really can’t be away from you. There’s no way I was intentionally hurting her… you think I’m crazy? I’m her mother, I can’t …”

Nathan immediately hung up the phone, then threw his phone in any direction even though Patricia hadn’t finished talking. The man was silent with a ragged breath, with a look of restraint, even waving his hand.

“I’m sick of it! I can never get away from it!”

Clara who was sleeping heard Nathan who was clucking in annoyance. She opened her eyes and glanced at her husband who was sitting beside her wearing only underwear. Ehhmm … for a moment she was silent with a strange feeling remember when making love very hot with him.

“Nathan … ehh, honey. are you okay?” asked Clara as she sat up.

“It’s okay,” Nathan answered without turning his head. He couldn’t hide the look of annoyance on his face when he remembered Patricia’s face that always haunted him and made him sick.

“But why do you look angry?” Clara asked, then touched Nathan’s jaw and made him look at her eyes. “Tell me . . . what makes you angry,” she continued.

“Patricia,” Nathan curtly bent his face. “He said Frederica was sick because she couldn’t be away from me . . I thought it was just an excuse so that Frederica could stay here, then she would have a reason to keep coming here. Sometimes I just get fed up… I kind of bond with her even though I’m nothing to her,” he explained restlessly.

“But Frederica is your daughter,” Clara said.

.”I never thought she was my daughter and I’m sick of it when people always say she’s my daughter!” Nathan said angrily then got up from the bed. he walked to the walk-in closet room, went to the bathroom, and stood under the shower which started to pour cold water on his body.

Nathan fell silent with a ragged breath, closed his eyes, and images of the past began to wander in his mind.

.__Nathan, you have to take responsibility… you have to marry her because she is pregnant with your child__

That word, was always in his head, making him sick and ruffling his hair in frustration.

“I didn’t get her pregnant… I didn’t feel at all!” he said through gritted teeth.

Clara, confused by what happened to Nathan, immediately went to the bathroom and approached him.

‘Maybe … maybe this is part of the mission I have to complete,’ she thought as she looked at the very frustrated Nathan. she approached her husband who was under the pouring water, then hugged him from behind until she was soaking wet.

“Calm yourself,” she said.

“I can’t … I want her to disappear from my life, my mind … she won’t let me calm down at all even though I’ve given her anything,” Nathan said annoyed. “she always wanted me to put Frederica’s interests first … I agree with all that, but she never seemed to have enough before I married her. .it won’t happen I just want you, not her!”

‘Then how come you have a daughter from him? Could it be that you were framed? But why… Why did Patricia go so crazy just to be your wife when you hate her so much?’ Clara wondered to herself, then remembered Arion saying that she would get a lot of information from Clara’s diary. ‘I have to quickly find out all this in the book. maybe some information will help me get Nathan off Patricia,’ she thought.

“she almost ended our relationship just like that… I hate her and I don’t think I ever make love with her until she got pregnant… but she manipulated everything so I couldn’t do anything but let her stay at my father’s house and facilitate everything. needs, mom or child,” Nathan said then turned back to face Clare. he stared at his wife intensely then caused her hair to be soaked. “Thank you for understanding me and always believing in me until now. Without you, I might have gone crazy…”

Clara nodded with a smile, feeling Nathan’s face which was soaking wet and still pouring water from the shower. “Because I love you… I will always believe in you,” she said.

“I love you too … I’m lucky to have you,” Nathan said then hugged Clara tightly. .”You are everything to me…my biggest inability is to lose you… I can’t… I really can’t,” he continued.

“I’m also lucky to be yours, to be the one who is always there for you,” Clara said simply. .for some reason she was very sad to see Nathan who turned out to be suffering, even going to suffer after 88 days. Yeah, she has 88 days left in Clara’s body. After that, Nathan must have been grieving. Ugh, poor Nathan ….
