Jordan reached out, he wanted to hold Clarabelle's hand. Again, Clarabelle dodged. She hid her hands behind her back. Jordan sighed. It turned out that Clarabelle wasn't easy to persuade at that time."Lala, do you remember what I said to my parents at home?" Jordan looked at Clarabelle. “I want them to know I can be a good man. I can have a good relationship, and also a good career. I'm happy, with you, I can be something. It's not easy, but I'm willing to try. Help me, Lala."Clarabelle shot Jordan a piercing glare, piercing Jordan's two light brown beads. Those eyes were very attractive. A swoop raced in Clarabelle's heart looking at Jordan with such ferocity. But she wouldn't be weak. Even if she was by Jordan's side, she didn't want Jordan to be mean and keep playing with her.“I, when I said you were different, it wasn't a joke. You may not believe it, but I really mean it." Jordan continued. “Just once more, Lala, give me a chance. I want to love you, I will do what I have prom
Jordan's words made Clarabelle speechless. Jordan said missing her. Should Clarabelle believe it? After finding out who Jordan was, Clarabelle even regretted ever confessing her feeling to him. She was better to keep it to herself. If Jordan knew, it was just for nothing, still Clarabelle was a toy for him. "I know you won't believe me when I say it. But I really miss you, Lala." Jordan fixed his gaze. “Never mind, I…” Jordan stepped forward, pulling Clarabelle in his arms, and he quickly kissed her. Clarabelle's heartbeat immediately accelerated. She missed Jordan too. In the attack that took her by surprise, Clarabelle felt her desire rise. But she remembered Jordan used to be with the others, and a sudden nauseous feeling hit her. Clarabelle quickly pushed Jordan. She immediately went back into the bathroom and threw up there. Of course, Jordan was very surprised by Clarabelle's reaction. He followed into the bathroom and saw Clarabelle crouched down, throwing up her guts into
The question Jordan asked made Clarabelle think. What could melt Clarabelle's heart and then the anger and disappointment in her heart would disappear? Clarabelle did not immediately answer. She sat down in a chair by the table, taking another sip of the hot drink."Thank you, your brew is delicious." Clarabelle put the cup on the table. Then her hand removed the small towel that was still on her head. She slung a towel over the edge of the chair, her fingers brushing her hair.Jordan watched her. Their situation was really stiff and unpleasant. Jordan was restless and displeased. He wanted sweet and tender Clarabelle, who looked at him with love."All I know is that my husband is a playboy. Is it true that he will miss a wife who is only a toy for him?” Clarabelle's words were calm but sharp and unpleasant to hear.“Baby, can't I just learn to love properly? I've never been a good man. But I wanted to change," Jordan said.Clarabelle glanced at Jordan, smiling slightly. "Okay, sir. Y
Jordan appeared with a big smile on his lips. The handsome face made Clarabelle's heart beat again. A beautiful flower arrangement was in his right hand. Clarabelle stood for a moment waiting for Jordan to step closer. Susan was still sitting in her chair, she was watching the two unique humans in front of her. What would Jordan do to Clarabelle?Jordan was right in front of Clarabelle. "Honey ..." With a smile that was indeed charming, Jordan brought his face and kissed Clarabelle's cheek.Clarabelle felt her heart pounding. He wanted to dodge but Jordan was faster. And out in the open Clarabelle didn't want to be the center of attention if she misbehaved.“My wife is so pretty. Even more than these flowers.” Jordan held out the flower he was holding. Clarabelle didn't respond, but in a corner of her heart, she felt a tinge of excitement creep in. Jordan was so sweet. Was it the proof that he wanted to show he loved and cared for Clarabelle?Susan was still staring at the romantic-lo
Those firm brown eyes pierced Clarabelle's two clear balls. Jordan's breath was felt on his cheek. The thumping in Clarabelle's heart had doubled. Jordan's charm again surrounded."I miss you..." Jordan whispered.Clarabelle hadn't reacted yet. The longing race in her heart also surged. She expected her husband to give her a warm hug. One side of Clarabelle's heart was still not ready because of Jordan's lies. Clarabelle's gaze was slightly uneasy.“Honey… I really miss you.” Jordan repeated his words. He didn't want to let Clarabelle go. He had come that far. Clarabelle would definitely make peace with it completely at that time."Cheer up. Start finding love again." The words that Adriano said rang in Clarabelle's ears.With her eyes still fixed on Jordan, Clarabelle said softly, "I miss you too."Jordan's heart suddenly felt very warm. Something was flowing there, giving so much relief. Clarabelle didn't refuse anymore. She opened up again. Of course, Jordan would not squander the
Jordan straightened up. The pile of twigs he had gathered was still in his grasp. He watched Clarabelle's face, then slowly approached."What is it?" Jordan asked while still walking toward Clarabelle."The food..." Clarabelle's brow furrowed. She held up the small pot in her hand.Jordan's eyes turned to the one Clarabelle was holding. The pungent smell pierced Jordan's nose. The smell of cooking along with the smell of burning."Scorched?" Jordan raised his eyebrows as he looked at the food in the pot.Clarabelle nodded with a sullen face. "I was engrossed in tidying things up, didn't see the pot immediately, so..."Jordan smiled. He put the branches on the ground, then he stepped closer to Clarabelle."Let me try." Jordan took the fork that was on the small table next to Clarabelle, then his hand poked a bit of meat, and stuffed it into his mouth."How?" Clarabelle said. She felt guilty also scorching their first meal of the day.Jordan looked seriously enjoying the food he was che
Clarabelle was still waiting for Jordan to answer her question. Meanwhile, he was back talking to Crystal on the phone. Crystal only confirmed the next two days Jordan would be home and brought Clarabelle with him.Jordan was still focused on driving, but he also thought for two days about what was going on. What he remembered was that in three days, he would have a meeting for the continuation of a project that had begun to have an agreement with his business partner."It must be something important, that's why Granny wants you to remember and come." Clarabelle tried to open Jordan's mind to something."What date is today?" Jordan asked as he looked down the street."Twelve," Clarabelle answered quickly.“Ah… of course Granny wants me to go home. Two days later is the day of my grandfather passed away. Granny always asks us all to go to the grave together." Jordan found the answer.Clarabelle nodded. Jordan continued the story of Crystal's strong love for her husband. Jordan was not
The tomb that Clarabelle pointed to clearly bore a name that didn't end in Hayden. Clarabelle remembered Crystal telling her about the woman. Carol was James' late wife. Jordan shifted his body and snuggled closer to Clarabelle."That's the grave of James' wife. After we're done, he won't come back. He will be here all day," Jordan said.Clarabelle looked up slightly at Jordan. His eyes half glanced. Clarabelle looked again at Carol's grave, she saw the year she died. Almost four years have passed. And James was still alone. Clarabelle concluded that James loved his wife so much that he hadn't been looking for another soulmate.Sure enough. Not long after, Crystal with Jaren, and Ann-Mary made their move, leaving the cemetery. But James stayed where he was. When Jaren was right next to James, he stopped, patting his eldest son on the shoulder. James didn't react, just stared straight at him.“Darling, Lala…” Crystal turned to Clarabelle. "Come with me. Please, stay with me today.”Cry
"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
Bright sun. The snow started to melt slowly. Winter was shifting, spring would come in a few weeks. Clarabelle sat by the window. She looked at the street and the scenery in front of the house where she lived. Calm, quiet, and cool. From behind her, the fragrant aroma of hot coffee was wafting into her nostrils. Clarabelle turned her head, Jordan standing with two cups in hand. The handsome face was not smiling, but a cheerful look emerged from the glint in her eyes. "Warm drink for my heart. Just milk. Coffee for me." Jordan handed one cup to Clarabelle. "Ah, I've been imagining sipping hot and fragrant coffee. Why do you give me milk more?" Clarabelle pouted but she accepted the cup from Jordan as well. "You have to be healthy. Later, when our baby is born, you can drink coffee." Jordan sat next to Clarabelle. He inhaled the aroma of coffee in his cup, then took a few sips. "Hm, pregnant women don't have a problem drinking coffee." C
The snow just a few minutes ago stopped. James' black car stopped and parked in the garage of the big house. James got out of the car and quickly turned around, opening the car door from the other side."We are here. Come on, Babe." James held out his hand.Nerry took James' hand and got out of the car. She looked around. The parking lot was just so wide. There were several cars in the garage. All clearly classy cars, cars not seen on the road too often."They are waiting." James smiled. He took Nerry by the hand and ushered her into the house through the side door, straight into the living room."Sir, I'm very nervous." Nerry watched James. The girl's face was blushing. James was smiling broadly with joy."Take it easy. You won't be punished for falling in love with Hayden. And don't call me Sir," James said."Yes, sir. Oh, James? Weird." Nerry smiled faintly. Beautiful, with a blush on her face. James laughed. It was always fun to see Nerr
Jordan stopped in his tracks at the question. What did he just hear? He turned around. His eyes met those beautiful eyes that made him fall in love. He stared at Clarabelle's round and clear eyes."Are you sure, you want to leave me? And our baby?" Clarabelle looked at Jordan. His hand touched his stomach.Jordan was still digesting what happened. His eyes were getting darker."After everything you've done, chocolate shop Lala Joy, leaving your posh Sydney mansion, never minding Hayden's office, and letting all those women go... you're going to walk away from me?" Clarabelle spoke quietly. Her eyes looked shady. Slowly her lips smiled."Lala...." Jordan couldn't believe what he saw. Clarabelle said something beyond her imagination."I miss you too, Jordan Gerald Hayden. Deep in my heart, I always want to hug you." Clarabelle's thin lips curved into a smile again.Jordan immediately came back and held Clarabelle's hand. "What do you say?"
James left his room. He called Susan and was forced to wake her up. The news James gave her about Clarabelle shocked Susan. She quickly got ready and met James in the parking lot. "Susan, help me. This is a bad situation. Jordan did a stupid thing again and hurt Clarabelle." James started driving the car out of the hotel. It was getting light, but the sun would not show itself. "What do you expect from me?" Susan asked. "I'll calm Jordan, he is so down. He's feeling stupid and sorry again. I think he's even more screwed up because their baby is in danger." James sounded restless and worried. "You, I need you to calm Clarabelle. I don't know how she feels about Jordan after this. I'm almost certain she will ask for a divorce." Susan looked at James. Was it that bad? Susan didn't know what to say. She also didn't know what she could tell Clarabelle later either. "I plan to go home today, to Sydney. Because I have an important meeting to attend. I don't know. By the weather and the
Jordan panicked. He trembled to see Clarabelle even having trouble sitting up."Lala... Lala...." Jordan didn't know what to say.While the blood flew and spread over the snow."Jordan, it hurts...." Clarabelle said while holding her womb."Doctor ... we go to the doctor. Wait, I'll take the car. Hold on," Jordan said between confusion and fear.He stood up and walked back to his shop. He had to get the car immediately and take Clarabelle to the hospital. Clarabelle was getting paler. A piercing coldness, accompanied by pain hit her womb, legs, and waist, and spread throughout her body. She could barely move anymore.A few minutes later, Jordan came. He helped Clarabelle into the car. Clarabelle was limp, but her body was also stiff from the cold. With a heart not abysmally, Jordan began to accelerate his car. It wasn't snowing any longer, but the roads were tough enough to walk on, Jordan couldn't have been driving as fast as he usually did."Uhhh ... it hurts ...." Clarabelle squeez
Clarabelle was surprised by Jordan's reaction. She tried to break free, but Jordan would not budge. He was even bolder in action. He kissed Clarabelle. He let go of longing by hugging his wife tightly. Clarabelle initially wanted to rebel. Unfortunately, her heart and longing were not in line. The heart refused, but the longing that Clarabelle felt forced her to accept the intimacy that Jordan threw at her. A strong pounding overtook Clarabelle. A pleasant beat, which raised her desire unstoppable. Clarabelle gave up. She began to enjoy Jordan's touch. "I miss you. So much...." Jordan whispered, softly. Clarabelle was getting excited. There was no refusal, Jordan went further. The game continued. He pulled Clarabelle onto the bed. They continued the journey of longing and love that had been held back for too long because of anger, disappointment, and fear of getting hurt even more. Outside the snow was pouring again. Even the sound of the wind howling could be heard. The longing th
Jordan's car shook. Clarabelle clutched her chest with fear rising so fast. The car nearly collided. Jordan swiftly returned to position and controlled the steering wheel. Fortunately, he was able to dodge so that the collision did not occur."Oh, my god...." Clarabelle still felt her chest beating fast because of the shock.Jordan was back in control of his vehicle. But he was also just as surprised. He took several deep breaths, calming himself down."Sorry, I am sorry," Jordan said without looking at Clarabelle. He focused on driving.Clarabelle didn't answer. In his heart he was grateful, there was no accident. He couldn't imagine if a collision had actually occurred. It wasn't just her and Jordan who were wretched, but the tiny baby in her womb as well.The rest of the way to Jordan's shop, no one spoke. Jordan parked his vehicle and went straight into the garage. Clarabelle went back to holding Jordan's cheek, then to his neck."Hurry up, go inside. You have to take medicine." C
James sharpened his gaze. Nerry's two beautiful and tapering eyes were watery. What was she worried about? Why was the girl so sad?"Nerry, what's wrong? I am serious. I'm not playing with you. I promise....""That's not it. I'm sorry," said Nerry.James covered his mouth. He had better hear what Nerry would tell him. Maybe he was too quick to ask Nerry to be his girlfriend let alone enter into marriage. It felt the same as the story of Jordan and Clarabelle."Knowing you in person, having moments together, for me... is like a dream. It doesn't make sense. You suddenly appeared in front of me. All my days have changed in an instant." Nerry began to express what was raging in her heart.James waited. He knew Nerry wasn't done yet."To be honest, if I'm really with you, I'll be like Cinderella. From a simple life, I will enter a palace. Can I do that, sir? Am I worthy enough to stay by you? To know you are already extraordinary for me."James smiled at Nerry's words. The young woman who
