As usual, Clarice took care of Joshua after they had showered together. If Clarice wasn't taking care of Axcel, for some reason Joshua seemed very spoiled with her, something she loved about Joshua.When she was with Joel, Joel was nothing like Joshua. He wasn't as spoiled as Joshua and he wasn't as dominant. Maybe it's true, character building will make someone different too. Moreover, Joshua did not feel the love of his parents because his parents loved Joel too much."You were thinking about me, weren't you?" Joshua asked her. Clarice was drying his hair and she was daydreaming about Joshua and Joel."You know me very well.""What were you thinking about me?""About how spoiled you are with me when I don't have Axcel in my arms," Clarice replied, smiling. She wasn't exactly lying, but she had deliberately answered like that because she didn't want to anger Joshua.Joshua watched her face in the mirror in front of him. He was silent and snorted after Clarice said that. Because he ho

Clarice was perhaps too sensitive to Joshua's words, so whatever Joshua said to her, made her feel sensitive and at the same time feel that what Joshua said was not appropriate for her to hear. Because she thought it was rude.Eventually, Clarice fell silent again and chose not to say anything. Because when she started talking, whatever she said was always wrong for Joshua.As they continued on their way to the restaurant Harry had reserved for breakfast, the cell phone in her bag vibrated, prompting her to open it.It just so happened that Clarice wasn't holding Axcel at that moment because Axcel was in Flora's arms. She was free to look at her phone too without Joshua being unable to see the contents as well.Her eyebrows furrowed when she got a text message and also a multimedia message from a number she didn't recognize. But her expression immediately disappeared when the contents of the message were written:"Don't make any expression if you want to know about Joel's death and op

Joshua immediately called someone he suspected. And the call was immediately connected to the person."Zoya," Joshua said when the woman picked up the call."Hey, what's up, why are you calling me all of a sudden?"Joshua was silent for a few moments and he sighed. He was fooling himself because he shouldn't have called Zoya right away. He didn't do it with a cool head which made him feel stupid."Is it safe there?" Joshua asked finally.Zoya was heard laughing, making Joshua clench his hands into fists. Without the woman realizing it, her laughter showed the truth that she had lied to Joshua, who had something she had kept secret."Stop laughing, Zoya. I'm not playing," Joshua ordered coldly.Zoya immediately fell silent and she sighed. "Well, everything is fine. Everything is safe. You don't have to worry.""Hmm ... it sounds so, but I feel like something has happened.""Oh? Tell me what, Joshua," Zoya pleaded."Not now."Joshua ended the call immediately, leaving Zoya to her own cu

They arrived in London at midnight. Clarice was already looking sleepy while Axcel had fallen asleep on the way to Joshua's apartment. "We'd better get some sleep, Clarice," Joshua said."Yeah. I'm going to clean myself up first."As Clarice went into the bathroom, Joshua approached his two maids. He told them that he was going out quietly tonight on business, and he didn't want them to tell Clarice. Joshua then went back to his room and took off his clothes. He waited for Clarice outside the bathroom with one hand on the door.Clarice opened the door and was shocked to see Joshua so close. She smiled in embarrassment and clucked while shaking her head. "You always surprise me," Clarice said."That's what I love about being around you. So, don't get angry without me knowing why."Clarice smiled and looked at him. "I will never from now on." Clarice kissed him on the lips for three seconds and then walked away from Joshua smiling without him knowing.She lay down on the bed, sighing w

Clarice stood not far from Zoya's grave, stiff and nervous. Her arms were crossed, watching as she sighed. She felt like she was in the time when Joel died and she wasn't at Joel's funeral because she was afraid of Joel's family.And she also remembered when she met Joshua at the cemetery too. When she visited Joel's grave the next day, Joshua appeared and began to force her to marry him.She noticed Joshua there and fortunately, Joshua understood that Clarice was still traumatized by Joel's death and was affected by everything.When the funeral was over, Joshua approached her and took off Clarice's sunglasses so he could see her expression. "I'm done. We can go home.""I haven't said goodbye to Zack, Joshua," Clarice said."I've said goodbye to him. Don't worry."Joshua then pushed Clarice's body so that she couldn't help but follow him. They had even reached the car park. "I don't intend to stay here too long thinking about you, Clarice. So, please obey."Clarice finally sat down in
