"Where's my grandson? I can't wait to hug him!"
That cheerful voice sounded crisp. Clarabelle missed her so much. Clarabelle quickly met Crystal who had just stepped into the house.
"Oh, my God!" Crystal widened when she saw Clarabelle. "Look, honey. Your baby's grown this big."
Crystal held Clarabelle's womb and rubbed it with overflowing joy. Clarabelle smiled. Her eyes filled with tears. The warm welcome seemed to wrap up all the things she wanted to forget before. Hayden family. The family will always be a part of her life.
"How are you, Lala?" Ann-Mary hugged Clarabelle instead. Her sweet elegant voice, Clarabelle also missed.
"I'm very well." Clarabelle smiled. There was a sense of unease also gathering in her heart. "I'm sorry, for leaving quietly. For sure, I don't want to disappoint anyone. I'm sorry."
"My son who doesn't know how to take care of his wife. Why are you sorry? It's Jordan who has to apologize. In the past, he promised
"What?!" Susan raised the glasses on her face, stood up, and glared at Clarabelle who was sitting right in front of her.She was very surprised when she heard what the brown-haired woman said.“Susan, please… calm down. Everyone's turned this way." Clarabelle took Susan's arm and asked her to sit back down.Several people in the cafe looked at them because Susan's voice was quite loud. Susan still couldn't believe what Clarabelle had said."I have no choice, Susan." When she said that Clarabelle was not smiling broadly. On the other hand, the twenty-four-year-old woman's heart was frantic."Are you sure? Won't you regret your decision, Lala?" Susan put her glasses on the table. She stroked the hair on her head roughly."This is my only chance. I am very confused. However, I feel this is the way I can do it.” Clarabelle took a deep breath, searching for the right words to describe the plan in her head to Susan.“At The First Time, I Meet You? My God, Lala…” Susan shook her head violent
"Jack, you hear me, don't you?" said Susan. She grabbed Jack's arm."Don't be silly, Susan," Clarabelle snapped. “You want me to be a destroyer of people's relationships? Jack and Sabina are getting married soon.""Sorry, I'm just annoyed, but also worried about you." Susan frowned. She let go of Jack's hand in frustration.Jack's gaze was still on Clarabelle. “Lala… Think about it, please. Marriage is no joke.People get married because they know each other, if don’t, it can be messy. Especially, people, we've met for the first time. It is ridiculous."Clarabelle sighed, shaking her head slowly. "This is for my father. He feels that he won't have long to live…” Clear gleamed gathered at the corners of Clarabelle's eyes.Clarabelle just wanted to make her only parent will be happy to see his daughter live well. She didn't want to regret if she couldn't fulfill his father's wish. Despite the fear, Clarabelle's heart was made up of the decision. The conversation she had with her father
Jordan's three friends burst out laughing together. Meanwhile, Jordan glared at them."That's why you shouldn't lose. Okay? We can't wait to take your cool car for a ride, even out of Sydney. Who knows I might want to take a vacation to Brisbane.” Warren raised his eyebrow at Jordan."Okay. I accept it. If I win, what will you guys give me as a reward?” Jordan's turn to challenge his three friends.He knew they couldn't possibly give you anything big. Of them, Jordan was the one with the deepest pockets. Ronald and Warren were businessmen too, but their parents' business wasn't as big as the Hayden's. While Louie, his father was a deputy director at a subsidiary of the Jordan family.“Hm, you want to frame us?” With a sharper gaze, Warren leaned forward, closer to Jordan.“This is not a trivial matter. Married, huh? It deals with my pride!” Jordan insisted."Okay. We'll think about it. Tomorrow night, we meet again, and we lock our deal. I already miss touching Laura." Ronald stood up
"Papa, please..." Clarabelle knew her father didn't agree with her decision."Don't you have any good male friends you know that you have to marry a stranger?" Adriano glared at Clarabelle. Did he make the wrong request that his daughter decided to do this? It would be better if he set Clarabelle up with his friend's children who she certainly knew who they were.“Papa, the experts will find the right person. They do it by research, not haphazardly. Trust me, Pa, I will definitely find a good man as a husband." Clarabelle persuaded her father. She explained the process she had to go through until she was finally filtered into the main event.“Marriage must be before God, officially approved by the owner of your life. Marriage in such an event is like a game. Don't you think about this? Did you forget what I taught you about what marriage and family mean to you?” Adriano was angry with Clarabelle's decision.He really wanted Clarabelle to get married soon before she left all this becau
Adriano stood looking at Clarabelle who looked so beautiful and elegant. The bone-white dress wrapped around Clarabelle's petite body, making her even more attractive and charming. The flower crown that adorns her head makes her look even more beautiful."Honey, are you ready?" Adriano reached out to Clarabelle. A faint smile appeared on his lips.With her heart pounding wildly, Clarabelle nodded. She took her father's right hand, and walked by his side, preparing to head for the place where she would meet the waiting groom. Clarabelle trembled slightly. Her heart couldn't beat normally. Her body felt hot and cold. Her stomach felt queasy as if stirred.Clarabelle didn't know what her life would be like after this. What kind of man would she meet? Was he fine? Was he handsome? A hard worker and a loving person or… All the questions ran through her head, while step by step Clarabelle entered the area that had been prepared and decorated so beautifully for that special day of her life.
Clarabelle's heartbeat quickened. Standing in front of the man, though handsome, dashing, and charming, Clarabelle's mind was racing. Did she not make a mistake?"Miss Johan?" Once again, the show leader called out to Clarabelle.Everyone present was getting restless, Clarabelle was still staring at her groom. Clarabelle took a deep breath, she couldn't back down. She had to continue what she had decided.“I accept Jordan Gerald Hayden…”“Wow, you memorized my name right away?” Jordan answered.Laughter was heard again from the rows of guest benches. A faint smile appeared on Clarabelle's lips.“… I will love you, whatever I will go through, I will not say the word divorce. We are united in this marriage, a sacred bond, that no human being can separate. I will do my best to take care of you, and provide support and joy in your life. I want to completely be a faithful wife to you.” Clarabelle's eyes returned to Jordan. To this foreign man, Clarabelle laid down her marriage vows.It was
“I want to clean myself. I'm sorry…” Clarabelle stood up and stepped into the bathroom. She felt uncomfortable with that situation. She knew very well that Jordan would be angry, but Clarabelle had her reason and she had to be firm with it.Jordan just watched as Clarabelle disappeared behind the bathroom door. He felt a vibration from his trouser pocket. Jordan reached into his trouser pocket and pulled out the cell phone that was stored there. Ronald called."You bastard," Jordan cursed. How could his friend contact him at that time?"What do you want to call me now?" A little annoyed Jordan also received Ronald's call.“Haa…haa…” Ronald's laughter deafened Jordan's ears so he pulled the phone away."What are you doing? Have you had fun with your wife?!”Jordan glared in annoyance. That fellow of Jordan liked to make emotions rise the most. He also accidentally said your wife spelled that.“How can you have fun when a demon passes by!?” Jordan snapped. Ronald's laughter exploded aga
"We're here," Jordan said with a cheerful smile.Jordan opened the door to their hotel room wide. Again, an amazing expanse was in sight. The bridal chamber they saw next. Unique, with Balinese characteristics as trinkets for the beautiful room.“It's amazing.” Clarabelle came into the center of the room. She looked around, astonishment filled his heart. “I love it. I do.”Clarabelle's smile widened, looking at Jordan. She was getting used to having Jordan by his side. There was no awkwardness like the day before.“More than I imagined. Thank you, At the First Time I Meet You. I won't forget any of this." Jordan went one step further. He opened the door that led to the balcony of the hotel room.From the balcony, the open sea laid so beautiful. Dark blue, the sky above was bright blue. The beautiful moving clouds never tired of moving. While the wind was blowing against the face. The beach atmosphere was very pronounced.“Wow… it's incredible. Babe…” Jordan looked around. The admirati
