No Strings Attached novel (Clara and Ian)

Upon hearing the news, lan's brows immediately furrowed. He had hoped to find his grandparents' belongings and use a DNA test to determine who Leonora was exactly. However, the path he had just found was blocked by this news.

He pinched the bridge of his nose and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure about this news?"

"Yes, your grandmother gave birth to a stillborn, and she was afraid that your grandfather would find out and kick her out of the house. The neighbor brought Leonora from the orphanage, a fact your grandfather never knew until his death."

Upon hearing this, lan hummed in acknowledgment. "I'll think of another way to investigate."

Teo sighed, "If there really are two women as my wife, they must be very alike for me not to be able to tell them apart."

"This must be a long-planned conspiracy. The mastermind sent someone to your side and must have prepared thoroughly. He had the imposter imitate everything from appearance to voice and even every action, including handwriting. So, it's going to be difficult to find out which one was the girl you were in love with."

Even though he was almost certain that Katherine was the one, they needed evidence to face the law. Only with solid evidence could they convict Leonora.

After hanging up the phone, lan called Brodie to discuss the matter. Brodie was silent for a while before finally speaking softly. "There might be one more person who knows the truth."

"Who?" lan asked eagerly.

"May."

Hearing the name, lan's eyes narrowed slightly. "Do you suspect May's death was because she knew Leonora was a fake?"

"It's a possibility. The police never

found any connection between Leonora and the big fire at the Hayes family's warehouse. How did May know? So, I suspect May and the real Leonora shared a secret that the fake one didn't know. May probably discovered something was Wrong. She was clutching that necklace before she died. Maybe she was trying to convey something."

Upon hearing this, lan felt a pang in his heart. It was something he had always been puzzled about. May

вы was in a car accident, facing her own life and death, as well as her child's. Why was she still clutching that necklace?

He had someone examine the necklace and found nothing unusual.

After hanging up with Brodie, lan approached Clara. Carefully, he removed the necklace from her

neck, saying quietly, "The baby isnet

going to be born soon. Let's put

away the jewelry until after the baby is born."

Clara didn't suspect anything and obediently nodded. "Okay, I'm just worried I'll be too fat after the baby is born, and I won't be able to wear what you bought me." "Then we'll buy new ones. These can be saved for our daughter."

"You're already thinking about a daughter before our son is even born. Ian, aren't you being greedy?"

She buried her face in lan's chest, feeling his warmth, enjoying this cozy and happy moment.

lan gently rubbed her head, looking down at her. "I just want a little girl who's as gentle and cute as you. I believe she'll be as beautiful as her mother."

Clara raised her head, smiling at lan, "Alright, then after our son turns three, we'll have a daughter."

As they were talking, Sasha's voice suddenly interrupted them. "Alright, you two, stop flaunting your love in front of me. Are you trying to make me jealous?" lan looked up at her, "What's going on with you and Chase?"
