Chapter 298 The Last Concern All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Osborne’s heart was heavy with thoughts of Austin as he prepared for his meeting at her villa.
This was the woman who had unexpectedly crashed into his life one wild, drunken night, igniting a whirlwind of emotions he never anticipated. Austin wanted him to be the father of her child, to be more than just her fleeting romance.
He sent her a quick message to meet up and arrived to find the villa empty.
Familiar with the entry code, he let himself in and glanced out the window toward the
e east.
There it was – the sprawling estate of Clarisss, once teeming with life and laughter, nor deserted
Clarissa had moved on, as had Donna and Barlyn.
A pang of nostalgis settled in Osborne’s chest.
“Clarissa, wait for me! I’ll be in Dampston soon!” Osborne thought, a silent promise hanging in the air.
Turning back, he heard the unmistakable sound of quick footsteps–high heels clicking urgently against the stairs.
Without a doubt, it was Austin arriving.
As she burst into the room, Austin lunged into his arms, her lips crashing onto his without a moment’s hesitation.
There was a fervor in her embrace, an eagerness that spoke volumes about bove much she missed him.
Only after what felt like an eternity did Austin pull back, a glimmer of joy alight in her eyes, her lips glistening with a fine strand of their
connection.
“Osborne, did you miss me?”
Osborne grinned, saying, “What do you
think?”
Austin huffed, mock annoyance dancing on her cute features.
“You definitely didn’t miss me, I bet your head’s been filled with thoughts of Clarissa! She’s way prettier than I am. I mean, come on, you practically already have her!”
Her playful pout stirred something in him
“If I didn’t miss you, why would I be here?” Osborne countered, rasing an eyebrow,
Austin crossed her arms, her expression shifting to one of feigned injury. “Yeah, right!
“Everyone’s saying you’ve been dumped by Clarissa. The Radcliffe family whisked her away to Dampston, and she’s set to marry that Alexander guy from the Paltrow family soon
“Isn’t it because you can’t see Clarissa that you come to me?”
At her words, Osborne felt his mood darken.
He brushed aside her playful indignation, knowing well enough it was all an act.
The girl could be quite the character.
If she truly cared that much, she wouldn’t just play the role of “the woman behind the man“.
“Who’s spreading these rumors?” Osborne asked.
Austin’s playful demeanor sobered at his serious tone. “I’m not sure, but I’d guess it’s the Radcliffe family trying to suppress any public association between you and Clarissa. They don’t want anyone thinking you have ties to her.”
Osborne nodded, thinking it throughs.

He then said, “Austin, I won’t bent around the bush. I’m here to say goodbye. I’m heading to Dampaton.”
The color drained from Austin’s face.
“You’re going to Dampston? To chase after Clarissa?”
He nodded. “I have an agreement with the Radcliffe family. I’ll be competing fairly with Alexander for Clarissa’s hand. If I win, shell marry me.
“I need to get there as soon as I can.
“I was born into a life without family, without a true home here in Skyefall. However, I can’t shake off the thought of someone I still have to look after.”
Austin bit her lip, searching his eyes. “Is it… Is it me?”
“Yes. You’re my only tie to Skyefall. Though Dampston isn’t that far away, I have no idea what the future holds there or when I’ll be back.
“That’s why I wanted to see you, one last time before heading off.”
Tears welled up in Austin’s eyes as she looked at Osbome.
Without a second thought, she threw her anus around his waist, her voice trembling with emotion. “Osbome! Thank you for saying all that. I really thought you didn’t care about me at all! Thank you!
“Hearing you say that is enough for me. You don’t have to worry about me. Just go to Dampston and take care of what you need to do. I’ll find a way to visit you.
“But before you go, there’s one really important thing you need to do.”
At that, Austin’s cheeks flushed a deep shade of crimson.
Osborne raised an eyebrow, confusion etched on his face. “What important thing? I’m not in on this secret.”
Her embarrassment only deepened.
Austin lowered her gaze, her voice barely above a whisper. “Well, um, Osborne, I think… I might not be pregnant. My period came again recently, so….
50
“Tonight, you need to try a little harder to help me get pregnant, okay?”
With that, she buried her face against his chest, hiding her shyness.
Osborne stood there, momentarily stunned.
He thought, “Not pregnant?
After our wild night together, filled with passion and intensity, she hasn’t conceived?
And now, Austin wants me to put in more effort tonight?”
He swallowed hard, feeling the wannth radiating from her body.
With a determined nod, Osborne replied, “Alright, I’ll give it my all tonight!”
In a swift motion, he scooped Austin up, cradling her legs in his arms as he lifted her effortlessly
Osborne looked into her bashful face with a playful grin. “Why wait for tonight? Let’s get started right now!”
With that, Osborne carried her into the room.
Soon, the air was filled with the sweet sound of Austin’s panting gasps, echoing like a melody as they lost themselves in each other again and again.
