29 || Uncle Joe ||Part 29."Since when Uncle is here?" Clara whispered. "Why do you like barging into my room so much!" she protested. They faced each other, Clara's heavy breaths noticeable by Joe.Silence.Joe didn't answer. His hands cupped Clara's face, wiping away her tears."Uncle Joe, why do you keep sneaking into my room!" Clara asked again, trying to divert Joe's attention away from her. She didn't like Uncle seeing her weak like this. Clara always appeared fine. And now, she wanted to seem okay."This is my house, Clara, and lately, your room has become one of my favorite places in this house!" Joe replied. "Why are you crying?" He held Clara's face in place.Clara didn't answer, too scared to meet Joe's gaze. All she did was let her tears flow down her cheeks again."What did Vivian say?" Joe pressed on. Seeing Clara sad made him sad too."Nothing, Uncle!" Clara nodded slowly.With one move, Joe pulled Clara into his lap, embracing her."My dear Clara!" Joe whispered. His

Part 31.Clara walked slowly towards the library. She pushed the door handle. Joe was there, standing with a book in his hand. Clara had entered this room before, but it was the first time she observed it carefully. It turned out that the room was filled with books."Do you read all the books in here, Uncle?" Clara asked. She sat down while observing Joe from a distance. The man always looked handsome just by standing and breathing. Always and always, Clara was captivated and mesmerized."Of course, I've read them all!" Joe boasted."Are there any novels, Uncle?" Clara changed the subject. Joe was indeed intelligent, diligent, and kind. All the wealth he possessed surely came from a set of good habits. The foundation of his success. He was good at seizing opportunities, reading the market, and one more thing that no one else had. He was talented and handsome from birth."What kind of novel?" Joe asked. Novels were one of the least books he bought and read. He liked general knowledge a

After all, she was Kimmy Olivia's biological mother.Joe stepped out of his room. The house was very quiet. There was no sound of Kimmy or her parents.Joe walked towards Clara's room.Knock. Knock. Knock."Clara!" Joe called softly."Yes," Clara replied, already awake from her sleep. She had even taken a shower because her body had been sweating the night before.The door opened."How are you?" Joe asked. He observed Clara from head to toe."I'm fine, Uncle," Clara answered. "Where are we going this early?" she added."I'm taking you out for breakfast and then to see Doctor Gaston!" Joe replied."Is Uncle sick?" Clara inquired. The man in front of her looked very fit."I just want to see him!" Joe answered, intentionally not revealing the real reason. There was no way he could tell Clara that he w

Part 33.The day has turned dark. The clock shows 7:50 PM WIB. Clara and Joe are sitting together in the living room on the second floor."Uncle," Clara called out, looking up at Joe who was sitting on the sofa."Yes, dear," Joe replied, diverting his attention from the sales graphs on his tablet screen. He met Clara's gaze."After seeing this photo, I'm sure Uncle was very handsome back in high school!" Clara exclaimed, examining a photo she got from Doctor Gaston."Where did you get that photo?" Joe asked, observing Clara who was busy exchanging messages with the doctor."From Doctor Gaston!" Clara replied honestly. "I asked for it!" she added."Hmm... are you idolizing me that much, Clara?" Joe asked, placing the sleek gadget he was holding down and leaning closer to look at Clara's phone screen."Three M's, Uncle!" Clara replied, smiling, revealing her dimples that made her look very sweet."Is that 3M? Health protocol?" Joe raised an eyebrow, gazing fondly at the 17-year-old girl

Part 34Joe stared intently at his phone screen. He was sure Clara hadn't slept yet. So, he wrote a message to her.Joe: [I'll wait for you at the library!]Clara: [What for, Uncle?]Joe: [There's a new book I just bought.]Clara: [Just say it, you miss me!]Joe: [Fine, if you don't want to! I'm going to bed now!]Clara: [Don't! Is Uncle still in Kimmy's room?]Joe: [I'm in front of your room!]Clara's eyes widened. She got up from her seat, then stood up and opened the door. Uncle was already standing there."Uncle," Clara whispered."Do I come in, or do you come out?" Joe asked."Let's just go to the library!" Clara suggested. She thought the library was the safest place to talk to Joe. It was at the far end of the building, and most importantly, there were no beds.The two of them walked side by side to the library. It was the safest room. Unlike Clara's room, which always made them close because there was no space to move around, or like Joe's spacious room. The atmosphere was dim

Part 35."You like the food?" Joe looked at Clara, who was busy chewing her breakfast."I do, Uncle!" Clara replied.Footsteps approached. The sound of those footsteps belonged to Vivian, who immediately sat next to Joe and grabbed an apple."Eating vegetables and fruits is healthier!" she remarked. Vivian had to watch her weight. She always maintained a healthy lifestyle and counted the calories entering her body. She rarely ate dinner outside with Joe when they were married."These prawns are delicious too, Aunt! Especially since Uncle Joe ordered them directly from Japan!" Clara said. She ate slowly, savoring every bite that entered her mouth.Sigh.Vivian felt jealous. Joe treated the girl specially. The woman restrained herself from cursing."Hurry up and finish, Clara, we'll leave soon!" Joe ordered, choosing to ignore his ex-wife. Disgusted."Yes, Uncle!" Clara took one last spoonful.Joe deliberately took a tissue and wiped Clara's lips. "Look at your lips, such a spoiled chil
