Clara

Julian frowned. “You know exactly what I mean,” he said. “What was he talking about?”

I shrugged lightly.

“He came to talk about someone called Elena.” Julian’s brows knitted together immediately.

“Elena?”

“Yes.”

“Do you know anyone by that name?” he asked quickly.

I shook my head without hesitation. “No idea.”

Julian studied my face carefully. He wasn’t convinced.

“He sounded like you knew her,” he said slowly. I gave a small scoff.

“He sounded like a lot of things.” Julian didn’t smile.

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST   Chapter 149 - Finding a routine

    Clara's Pov “Can I taste?” I asked, pointing to the sauce left in the bowl.He nodded.I dipped a finger in carefully and tasted it.The flavor hit immediately—spicy, sweet, deep. It made my eyes widen just a little.“That’s… good,” I said, a bit surprised.Again his shoulders swelled with pride at my words. We continued like that for a while.Cutting, mixing, asking small questions and getting small answers.It was as though he timed everything perfectly. The second he was done with the last preparation for dinner, the food was ready to serve. "Lunch is ready ma'am." He said to me with a slight bow and I took the cue to head upstairs to tell Adrian and Leo about it. We all returned to an already set table and dishes on the table. "If you continue to feed me like this, I'll be fat within a week." I declared, taking a seat by the table. I was loving the princess treatment or whatever this could be called. Lunch was amazing as usual. Burst of flavors, new taste in our mouths and

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST   Chapter 148 - Company

    Clara's Pov The closer I got to the kitchen, the more the sounds from there got louder. Just like I expected. He was in the kitchen. A smile spread across my face subconsciously as I heard the soft chopping, it was steady and rhythmic, like he'd been doing this for a long time and was used to it. I leaned lightly against the doorframe before stepping in fully. He stood at the counter, focused, slicing through vegetables with ease like he’d done it a thousand times. Maybe more. He looked up briefly and smiled the moment he noticed me. “Ah, madam, ” he greeted warmly, his voice calm like always. “You are awake already? You need something?” I shook my head, stepping further into the kitchen. “I couldn't sleep again and I don't really need anything but I could use some company." I took a close glance at what he was doing. "And you’re already working again.” He chuckled softly, not stopping what he was doing. “Food does not wait.” I glanced at the counter, taking in every

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST   Chapter 147 - Dear distraction

    Clara's Pov For a second, I almost believed him when he said he was looking out for me. I almost did when he said he was the reason why the board called that morning. I wanted to really believe that he would support me genuinely without asking for anything in return but when I remembered what he said about taking the trip because of me, everything changed. The belief I was starting to nurse vanished almost immediately. I had my bath after dressing Leo up for the day. He was out of the room before I could finish my bath. I knew where he was so I didn't panic like the first time I didn't meet him in the room. I kept it simple with my dressing since we were in the house. It was chill outside but not too chill. So I wore a pair of pants and a top that wasn't too thick or light. Something to shield me from the cold and still let my skin breathe. After applying my body lotion, I picked my phone and sent a calm across to Cassie. She was another person I hadn't called since we arr

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST   Chapter 146 - Separate lanes in one house

    Adrian's pov I went to my room and Leo followed me immediately, but before we could settle down, Clara walked in. "Come on hun, you need to take your bath." She beckoned to Leo to follow her out. "That's true." I supported even though the tension between Clara and me had been thick all morning. The last thing I wanted was to let him notice any form of malice between us. I didn't want him to feel unsafe staying with the both of us so I tried to act as cheerful and free as I could. Also welcoming. He turned around and took a few steps towards Clara but he barely got to where she stood when my laptop rang out loud enough to make everyone in the room pause. I went to check on the device. I wasn't expecting any call from anyone except my secretary, Clem who would only call when she really needed me to be there. Otherwise, she has everything under control. I'd also spoken to the old man the previous night after my arrival and through him I learnt that every other person in the

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST   Chapter 145 - Burst of flavors

    Clara's Pov "What the actual f**k?" It took all the composure I could summon not to scream through the roof. I wouldn't have thought too much about the whole thing, in fact, I loved the apartment, I liked Mr. Han. He was a handful. I loved my handsome neighbor. I had no problem with the place. I wouldn't have had any problem if I was paired with someone else as a house mate. I just didn't understand why it had to be Adrian of all people that came on the trip. What happened to the other ladies? I dragged a palm down my face and stopped it at my mouth, screaming into my palms so it sounded muffled. Just then, a light knock sounded on the door and it was pushed open before I could ask who it was. Little Leo stood by the door. "Food is ready mummy." He informed me and I nodded, taking my hands off my mouth so he could see the smile on my face. "Have you brushed your teeth yet?" I asked and he shook his head. "Okay honey, come with me. I haven't brushed mine either but we

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST   Chapter 144 - Cause for revaluation

    Clara's Pov I was screaming to myself in my mind but my body had a different idea all along doing the things it wanted to do even when the warning signs were there. But he didn't look like those men who took advantage of a lady where I was from. This man literally bowed in respect. That's something I haven't gotten before from any man except Mr. Han so far. And he was a breath of fresh air. He could speak the language so fluently and he could also interact in English so fluently. That means, no language barriers. This has got to be my next best friend in Korea. He left shortly after telling me that this was his popular jogging spot and he hoped to see me next time. Of course, I told him he would definitely see me around. By the time he left, I'd totally forgotten the reason why I came out to jog in the first place. Shockingly, I felt a bit sad after he left as the smile he'd left wiped off my face, the warmth he brought to my heart left with it. Strange. One good thing though

    Clara's pov“Is that a video of Elena?” I asked, trying to confirm what I was looking at. Linda nodded slowly. “This video was posted yesterday.” “What?”I listened to the video of Elena looking like she'd just escaped a bear attack. Her eyes were sunken and her skin looked pale. “Good day every

    Clara's Pov Elena sprinted toward Adrian with excitement written all over her face, and her hands spread wide. They held each other in an embrace. This prompted the shocked reaction of the people in the hall, mine included. I'd thought they would hide their shameless acts when they were in the

    Clara's Pov Roxy flicked her brows with a smug smile as if telling me she'd caught me and there was no way out. I planned to tell Grandpa Romeo about it on his 80th birthday, but I didn't plan for him to find out now. Like this. I exhaled slowly, fisting my fingers. “Cat got your tongue?” Lu sp
