“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
Crystal knew Jordan was upset and didn't like talking about Jordan into making things up with James. However, the feud between the brothers had been going on for too long. The many incidents they went through could not melt Jordan's heart to accept James again. James was the same way. Even though he really loved and cares for his brother, he did it all secretly.“I imagine this house is lively. You and James laugh like when you were still in school. In fact, the sound of jokes and screams of your children, that's what I miss. Is that impossible?” Crystal spoke clearly, even though her voice wasn't very strong.Jordan still didn't want to reply to what Crystal said. Clarabelle also seriously heard the kind old woman's heart.“What I feel now, is only tension. You do live well with Lala. As for James? He just fills his life with work, work, and work. When will he think about starting a family again? How long will he continue to be a widower?” Crystal continued.“That's his choice. As lo
Susan's eyes widened at her mother. She didn't expect that her mother's reaction would be like that when she saw Lorenz. Susan quickly pulled her mother into the house. Lorenz, who was still at the door, was no less surprised to hear what Susan's mother had said."Future husband?" he said softly as he watched Susan and her mother in the living room.“Why do you have to be quiet? I've been asking you to get married for a while. You are smart to choose a man, Susan.” The woman smiled broadly.“Mother… he is not…”"Okay, I have to meet him." Susan's mother turned and walked quickly back to Lorenz.“Hello, it's nice to see you. I am Madeline, Susan's mother." With a friendly smile, Madeline extended her hand to Lorenz."Oh, hello, Mrs. Madeline Harrison. Nice to see you too.” Lorenz replied kindly."Come in, of course, you want to know where Susan lives." Madeline cheerfully invited Lorenz into her house."Mom, it's getting late, you have to get some rest. Mother has only been healthy for
Lorenz's words, which jolted her slightly, made Susan shrink even more. She didn't want to argue anymore, immediately turned around, and left Lorenz's room. Shame, it was how Susan felt. If she had known that the accident would happen, it would have been better if Susan rejected Lorenz and had taken her going home last night. Susan was sure Lorenz had judged her, so badly he had turned cold. “What do you expect, Susan? Even though Lorenz was just an employee, he was an important person in this company. Who are you? Your goal is not to work for a career, but for Lorenz. You left a job that was already good enough, your comfortable life, finally…” A hint of regret welled up in Susan's heart. As she started work while waiting for the meeting time, Susan's heart continued to wrestle. Frankly speaking, Lorenz's attitude really got to her. Her mood, which had been bad since leaving, was getting messy because she had to face Lorenz. "How can I make him understand?" Susan's heart struggled
