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
Ann-Mary's graceful steps stopped in a room upstairs. Ann-Mary opened the room and entered. From the front door, Clarabelle looked at the entire contents of the fairly large room. Clarabelle was stunned. The room was like a kid’s room. The walls were painted white with a mix of bright blue and red.On the main wall was a large frame with a photo of a boy. There were shelves full of books and toys. Also, the big boxes, Clarabelle sure were full of toys too. In the middle of the room was a table and some child-sized chairs.Ann-Mary sat in one of those chairs. She gestured for Clarabelle to come in and sit next to her. Questioningly, Clarabelle complied. What did Mrs. Hayden want?“This is Jordan and James' playroom when they were kids. Every day they spend here. Laughing together, joking, and fantasizing about things develops their imagination.” Without being asked, Ann-Mary began to tell her story.Clarabelle listened seriously. She was also curious about the relationship between Jord
"Of course. You are my brother, I will miss you.” James looked at Jordan with a big smile.Jordan looked at James unrelieved. The smile was still on his lips, but the look on his face was clearly displeased with James' words."Come on, let's just get started. This is a rare moment in this house. Looks like a great start to your special day, James." Ann-Mary looked at her eldest son."Do you mean on my birthday?" James raised his eyebrows."Yes. If only we could all gather like tonight.” Ann Mary smiled. Her hand scooped up one more soup from the large bowl."Of course. I will be present on my big brother's birthday," said Jordan. He turned to Clarabelle. "My beloved wife will also be present, accompanying me, to enliven the brother-in-law's event."Jordan accidentally mentions the word brother-in-law as spelled. He wanted to show his happiness because he could have Clarabelle as his wife. James' suspicions that his marriage was just a game have clearly been dashed. And, Jordan wants t
In the following days, the sweet atmosphere dominated Clarabelle's time. Going all out with Jordan feels good again. There was no anger and upset, no annoying news that made emotions rise. Unfortunately, Clarabelle's wish to conceive had not materialized.Jordan touched Clarabelle almost every night, releasing his passion and love. However, Clarabelle still had a monthly guest.“Come on, why did it have to fail again? I want to give Jordan a surprise." Clarabelle was a little disappointed. She began to imagine a wide smile and Jordan's eyes sparkling when he found out that Clarabelle was pregnant."Be patient. Maybe a little more. Don't give up, Laura." Clarabelle patted her cheek, comforting herself.Filling her days alone, Clarabelle returned to help at the cake shop. She was happy to be doing something even though money is no longer his goal. The shop owner didn't mind whenever Clarabelle could come and help. For Clarabelle, the store was a kind of place where she poured out her ho
