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

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 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

Part 37.Joe followed his mom and dad to the living room. Meanwhile, Clara headed to her room on the second floor.In the room were only Joe, Mr. Bond, and Mrs. Linn. The female servants in the house were busy preparing dinner in the kitchen. Meanwhile, Kimmy was playing with Vivian and her nanny."What do you want to talk about, Mom?" Joe asked."It's about Kimmy," she said."What's wrong with Kimmy?" Joe asked."I feel like Kimmy wants her parents to be back together," Mrs. Linn said, unable to meet her son's gaze.Ugh!Joe's lips pressed tightly together, showing the tension in his jaw muscles. There was a bitter taste in the back of his throat."Does that mean I have to marry Vivian again, Mom?" Joe asked."Yes, that shouldn't be difficult to achieve, right? You still love Vivian very much, and she seems to have changed now. She can improve her behavior and make you and your daughter her priorities, not for me, but for Kimmy!" she added.Silence."The decision is yours, Joe!" Mr.

Part 39.Doubt crept in, and it lingered for a while. But in Clara's heart, the feeling of love remained just as strong and sincere for that man, Uncle Young Sebastian.The only man who fascinated and captivated her. She fell too deeply. Because he was the only owner of her love and her heart.It would be a lie if she were to really go to London in two days. How could she! Just one night without a message made her confused because of longing. How could Clara choose to go to London and not see him for years?Clara knew she loved Joe. The feeling of love had already been reciprocated. The girl was still determined not to leave as long as Joe himself told her to go.Clara was sure her feelings of love were never wrong. Besides, Joe would marry her. Why should she listen to people trying to separate them? They didn't value her feelings.Clara would talk to Joe. Then, she would take the next step."Sister, we've arrived!" said a taxi driver."Yes!" Clara handed him two hundred thousand rup
