James immediately let go of Clarabelle's hand. He looked at Jordan who glared at him hatefully.“Jordan…” Almost simultaneously James and Clarabelle said that name.“Nice, it is so nice.” Jordan smiled bitterly. His face was flushed with his hands clenched at his sides. “I wouldn't be surprised if you repeated what you did before, James. You always want to destroy me.""Jordan, don't get me wrong. Lala and I, there is nothing between us. She is sad, and I…”"Come on, James. You again are a loser. You don't want to admit what you did. Don't you finish to make me crush? Wasn’t it enough that you got rid of Annette?” Jordan's gaze of hatred deepened. His words brought out the emotions and wounds that he had been harboring.“Jordan! You know all that is not true!” Firmly, slightly screaming, James asked Jordan not to force his thoughts."Go ahead. I hope you enjoy your togetherness.” With a huge angry face, Jordan turned around and quickly walked away.“Jordan!” called Clarabelle. Jordan
That night Jordan did not come to the hospital. When Adriano asked, Clarabelle had to lie because there was work that couldn't be left behind. Jordan didn't answer Clarabelle's messages, nor did he take calls.“He was really angry. What should I do?" thought Clarabelle. She was very restless. Things with Karen have just finished, while Jordan Clarabelle hadn't really been resolved, a new problem aroused.Increasingly agitated, Clarabelle called Susan. She couldn't bear all the pressure that was coming. She needed to pour out the fatigue that was whacking her heart. Susan immediately came to the hospital, even though it was almost midnight.“I'm really sorry, Susan. It is really hard for me.” Clarabelle rubbed her eyes which were starting to water. She didn't want to cry, but she could barely keep the tears from dripping down her cheeks."I'm actually glad you wanted to tell me. If you don't say anything, how can I know what you're feeling and thinking.” Susan looked at Clarabelle with
As soon as possible Clarabelle back to the hospital. Along the way, her heart was very anxious. She continued to pray that God gave mercy, Adriano would be able to get through the tough situation he was currently facing. Traveling by car and moving fast enough felt so long. Crystal clear bead slid across Clarabelle's eyes several times without her being able to hold it.“God, please, please… I don't get tired of asking, please save Papa. Please, don't take him. I will be alone. I need my daddy. Please…” Over and over the same words Clarabelle whispered as she looked down the street.As soon as the car was parked, Clarabelle got out and ran as fast as her footsteps could toward Adriano's room. The room was closed, and Clarabelle knew that meant the doctors and nurses were inside working on Adriano. Clarabelle peered through the window.A doctor and three nurses were inside. Clarabelle tensed even more. She didn't know what they did, what was certain was that Clarabelle's heart was gett
“Mr. Hayden!” Lorenz called Jordan who was sitting in his room.Jordan looked up and saw his assistant looking at him with a strange look."Why are you still here?" he asked."What is wrong? I am in the office, working.” Jordan said surprised by Lorenz's question.Lorenz could hardly believe Jordan's answer. His father-in-law died, didn’t Jordan care?“Sir, do you have any messages from Mrs. Hayden? I mean, your wife?” asked Lorenz again."Why are you taking care of my wife?" Jordan was instantly annoyed.“Susan left early today. She had a message that Mrs. Clarabelle Hayden's father had died." Lorenz looked at Jordan."What are you talking about?" Jordan was very shocked by Lorenz's words. Immediately he took the cell phone that was lying on the table and saw Clarabelle's message.“Damn!” Jordan stood up instantly and walked quickly out of the room. "Clear my table!" He ordered Lorenz.Lorenz just shook his head in astonishment at Hayden's behavior on that one.As for Jordan, he felt
A week passed. The feeling of loss had not gone away. Clarabelle was still at Adriano's house and didn’t want to go back to Jordan's yet. She still wanted to feel Adriano near her. Jordan relented. He also lived in Adriano's house. Occasionally he checked his house, making sure everything was okay.That day, Jordan wanted to comfort Clarabelle. His plan to make a special moment with Clarabelle was delayed because Adriano passed away. He thought about what he could do to get Clarabelle's smile back.Ronald again gave him an idea of how to make a surprise. Coming home from work that afternoon, Jordan wanted to make it happen."Wait for me to come home, Lala. And today I will see a big smile on your tiny lips.” Jordan smiled slightly at the thought of Clarabelle smiling back.Jordan drove the car a little fast. He had already prepared a few things for spending the night with Clarabelle. As soon as he got home, surprise after surprise he would give Clarabelle. He couldn't wait to get home
“My Lala …” Jordan cupped Clarabelle's cheek. "Nice to see your smile back."Jordan's eyes twinkled. He was happy that Clarabelle enjoyed the surprise."Let's start, dinner?" Jordan removed his hand from Clarabelle's cheek. He picked up a carafe of wine and opened it.Clarabelle raised two glasses and held them close to Jordan. Jordan poured wine into the two glasses, then they began to enjoy the romantic atmosphere together.Clarabelle's heart was still soaring. She had never felt Jordan's sweetness in a long time. After everything they'd been through, it turned out they had arrived at the same point, wanting to make their promise come true. They would stay together.Dinner was so enjoyable. Jordan again made Clarabelle comfortable and laughed happily with their talk and jokes. All the pain seemed to be gone. Jordan Hayden, who was able to break Clarabelle's heart down, still managed to do it again.“Haa… haa… Ouch, my tummy… Jordan, already!” Clarabelle held her belly with both hand
Until the following days, Clarabelle finally decided to return to Jordan's house. She felt she had occupied Adriano's house enough. It was time for her to live her marriage, without Adriano's shadow anymore.“Papa and Mama will always be in my heart. Even though all of them are no longer near me, they will still be stored in my whole life.” Clarabelle thought to herself with relief.She was ready to continue her marriage to Jordan. One that came to mind, was a child. Clarabelle would not forget, Adriano had said, if a child were born between her and Jordan, it would very likely bind the marriage bond even stronger. Jaren also said the same thing, one thing Clarabelle and Jordan need, was a child."I think it's time Jordan and I had children." Clarabelle smiled. She looked at his wedding photo with Jordan. Time went so quickly, one year has passed, full of drama, ups, and downs, and draining emotions and thoughts. So far, she and Jordan had managed to get rid of everything that stood i
“You can take care of the rest. I can't wait any longer.” Jordan continued to walk out of his room.Lorenz just shook his head. A little annoyed. Jordan was still the same, unable to distinguish personal and work issues. He just did as he pleased, as he pleased. Luckily the son of the company owner. If not, he would have been kicked out of that office a long time ago.Lorenz approached Jordan's large chair and sat in it. He enjoyed the pleasures of being boss. He fiddled with the chair, turning left and right, and he shifted and spun again. His lips broke into a wide smile.“So, boss… Lorenz. Mr. Lorenz…”“Excuse me, sir…” At the door appeared Susan. She was flabbergasted to see Lorenz sitting in Jordan's chair."What are you doing? Where is Mr. Hayden?” Susan walked in, looking at Lorenz fixed. It was strange that Jordan wasn't sitting in that big chair.“Oh, hi! Susan!” Lorenz spoke in a firmer tone, reinforcing his charisma. “Come here, right now!”Susan was a little confused by Lo
