My Handsome Uncle Chap 13
13 || Clara's Cry ||After hearing that Clara is in the hospital, Joe immediately ends his lunch event. He cancels all his work schedules for the day, concerned about Clara, especially since she hasn't contacted him for three weeks.Although worried, Joe is confident that Clara will be okay. "Postpone the meeting with the important client and meet with some companies offering collaboration," Joe instructs Fadli, his loyal secretary."Alright, Sir," Fadli responds.Joe swiftly leaves the cafe, driving to the hospital at full speed. Arriving at the parking area, he walks towards Clara's room.The door opens, revealing Mario and Nadia sitting. Worry is evident on both of their faces. Joe inquires, walking forward and observing Nadia and Mario alternately."What happened to Clara?" Joe probes, looking at Nadia and Mario."Clara fell while rock climbing, Uncle," Nadia responds. She steals a glance at Joe. Handsome, it's understandable why Clara liked him even after being rejected; she coul

14."I apologize, Uncle. Mario was rude to you," Clara whispered, holding back her sobs. Occasionally, she takes a breath, covering her mouth and nose with the back of her hand to muffle her cries.Joe sits at the edge of Clara's bed, attentively observing her. There's a sense of unease in his heart, especially after hearing Mario's story earlier. Joe truly had no idea he hurt Clara's feelings. He thought Clara wouldn't be hurt after he rejected her."Is what Mario said true?" Joe asks. Slowly, he reaches for Clara's hand, examining the wet and reddened brown eyes. The girl does look thinner than before.Clara doesn't dare to answer. She bites her lower lip, trying to contain the pain in her heart. Joe rejecting her has deeply hurt her."Did I hurt you, or are you sad because I rejected your love?" Joe asks again, equally fragile in the current situation.Clara remains silent, not daring to respond. Her lips were tightly sealed. Fortunately, her tears have stopped flowing."I apologiz

15 || A Kiss ||"Don't go back to the dormitory yet as long as your feet are still sore, stay at my house!" Joe ordered, continuing to give gentle massages to Clara's feet.Joe didn't dare to press on Clara's ankles too hard."Okay, Uncle," Clara replied, breathless! Then, panting."What's wrong with you?" Joe asked, noticing Clara greedily inhaling oxygen as if she had just finished running."Nothing, Uncle."Clara evaded, unwilling to admit that she forgot to breathe because of his touch. Joe's hand, rubbing her ankles, sent vibrations that stirred molecules in her blood, prompting her brain to release dopamine associated with the happiness she felt at the moment."Go to sleep, Clara!" Joe instructed, even though it was only 7:05 PM. He wanted Clara to rest to recover soon."Yes, Uncle," Clara replied shortly. Somehow, in front of Joe, she could only obey and obey.Joe sat beside Clara's bed. He glanced around. Tonight he would sleep on the couch. However, seeing Clara still not asl

16.For nearly three days, Clara had been staying at Joe's residence. Every day, she spent time playing with Kimmy, Joe and Vivian's almost four-year-old daughter.Even so, this afternoon Clara was sitting with Kimmy on the second floor, waiting for Joe to come home, because every time he came home from work, he would always spend time with Kimmy. While sipping her drink, Clara took the opportunity to meet Joe.Tap...Tap...Tap...Footsteps were heard climbing the stairs to the second floor. Clara had memorized those footsteps, who else could it be but the footsteps of the man she liked."Good evening, Uncle," Clara greeted while sitting with Kimmy."Good evening, Clara," Joe replied. He chose to kiss his daughter's forehead and cheeks. Clara swallowed hard and observed him from afar."Uncle, do you want coffee or hot chocolate?" Clara offered. Her foot had healed, and maybe tomorrow she would return to the dorm. It wouldn't hurt to try to contribute to Joe's day by making him a drin

17.The atmosphere in Joe's living room had been transformed. Kimmy's Hello Kitty-themed birthday party was dominated by pink decorations.Some guests had arrived wearing red attire as per the dress code. They were relatives of Mrs. Linn, Joe's uncles and aunts, as well as relatives of Mr. Bond.Their family wasn't doing well. They envied Joe's wealth because, among their various business endeavors, Joe was the most successful with his jewelry design company, "Blue Jewelry."Joe was sitting with Mrs. Linn and Mr. Bond, greeting the guests. Meanwhile, Kimmy sat next to Joe, looking towards the stairs. The little girl was waiting for Clara to come down.Shortly after, Clara descended the stairs wearing a red dress. She left her long hair neatly flowing. Clara's gaze shifted to Kimmy, and she immediately approached the little girl."You said Mama would come, where is Mama?" Kimmy asked hopefully.Clara glanced at her watch. "Just wait a moment, your Mom will come, Kimmy," Clara reassured

18.Clara examined herself in front of the mirror. She observed her reflection there, wearing black jeans and a light purple sweater. She let her long hair fall neatly, adorned with a beautiful ribbon."So pretty!" Clara praised herself with a smile. Then, she hurriedly stepped out of her room, turning the doorknob.The door opened, revealing Joe already waiting for her."Are you ready?" Joe asked."Yes, Uncle," Clara replied shyly, tucking her hair behind her ear."Let's go now!" Joe invited.Clara followed behind Joe, feeling very happy to be going out alone with her handsome idol.Clara continued to follow Joe's steps down the stairs until they reached the ground floor."Where are you two going?" Mrs. Linn, who was sitting in the living room, asked. Her voice was loud, indicating her dislike of Joe and Clara's closeness.Joe turned and approached his mother. "I need to talk to Clara, Ma. Vivian came earlier; she didn't want to talk to me and chose to talk to Clara instead!" Joe exp

Part 19Clara arrived at school. Monday, a day that required more energy because of the flag ceremony.And Clara's face reflected that. She looked disheveled and didn't have a single smile."Why aren't you as enthusiastic as usual?" Nadia asked. They hadn't exchanged messages last night. Her friend was sure something had happened to make Clara not cheerful on this bright morning.Clara remained silent. She was still guessing why Uncle Joe left earlier. Was it intentionally avoiding her, or was there some other work, or did he want to pick up Celine? The latter was the worst possibility."Uncle Joe again?" guessed Nadia.Clara nodded, then rested her head on the desk. She felt too drained to lift her head."Come on, tell me, maybe I can help!" Nadia prompted."It turns out my competition isn't just Aunt Vivian, but there are many out there. All this time, I've been too confident in getting love from Uncle Joe!" Clara lamented. The image of beautiful Celine and her captivating smile fla

Part 20.This morning Clara woke up earlier than usual. Two servings of mashed potatoes and stir-fried seafood were already cooked. Yes, the cooking extracurricular she took in class XI enabled her to cook.Clara brought them into her room. Then, she showered enthusiastically. Her lips constantly hummed a happy tune.Twenty minutes was enough time to complete her morning ritual. Now she was dressed in her uniform and ready to leave.The girl glanced at the watch on her wrist, about to leave the room. Intending to wait for Uncle Joe on the front porch. Wanting to pack lunch for the handsome CEO.Clara turned the doorknob, then descended the stairs. It was still too early, and Mrs. Linn was still sitting enjoying her warm tea."Clara!" Mrs. Linn called out as Clara reached the bottom of the stairs."Yes, ma'am," Clara replied, moving closer, the middle-aged woman always made her feel deferential."It's still too early, can we talk for a bit?" the woman asked in her soft voice."Of cours

My Handsome Uncle End
71.One month later.As requested by the grandfather, Clara and Joe's wedding was held in a simple manner, attended only by close relatives. On Clara's side, only Freedy Lim and Zio were present, while on Joe's side, both of his parents invited their close relatives.Freedy Lim was chatting with Bond Sebastian and Linn."Mr. Lim, you should stay here, and we can go on vacation together," Bond offered. Hearing that his in-laws were also leaving for Singapore tonight made him feel a bit sad."No, Mr. Bond and Mrs. Linn, I must leave immediately. My work is waiting, and I'm sure I'll only disturb the newlyweds if I stay here," he replied. "After this, I have to go to the airport so as not to be late," he added."Alright, sir, please wait a moment. We should have dinner together before you leave!" Bond requested.Freedy Lim nodded. Then Mrs. Linn moved towards the bridal chamber.Inside the bridal chamber, Clara was taking off the crown that adorned her hair. Meanwhile, Joe was in the bat

Part 70."First, I don't want Clara to become a mother at her young age, make sure she continues her education until she obtains at least a bachelor's degree!" he said. "Secondly, I don't want your married life to be consumed by the public, I don't like Lim family members being exposed to the media, and thirdly, guide Clara to become a businesswoman, I still want her to be the primary heir!" Freedy Lim revealed these three conditions to Clara."Alright, I agree," Joe replied loudly."Come closer!" Mr. Lim commanded."Yes, Sir."Overcoming his awkwardness, Joe got up from his seat and sat next to the middle-aged man."Thank you very much for taking care of Clara, if you weren't a good person, my grandson wouldn't insist on staying by your side," he said.Joe smiled. Freedy Lim wasn't as intimidating as the articles he had read about Clara's grandfather."Continue to take care of my granddaughter, as you have been doing for the past ten years, make her happy, because only you can make h
My Handsome Uncle Chap 69
Part 69Clara tightly held Uncle Joe Sebastian's hand. They had arrived at Changi Airport. A four-wheeled vehicle was parked at the airport exit."Are we meeting Grandpa now, Uncle?" Clara asked as she stepped into the car."I need to eat first, Clara. I'm very hungry," Joe made an excuse. He wasn't ready. Yes, meeting Freedy Lim, who clearly didn't like him, was daunting."Okay, we should eat first," Clara agreed. She felt very nervous. Her heart always wondered what would happen next? Of course, Clara had a backup plan in case her grandfather didn't give his blessing.The car they boarded stopped at a seafood restaurant. They got out of the car and started going in.Joe ordered some food from the menu. Strangely, his hunger vanished just like that."Why aren't you eating, Uncle?" Clara asked. She was trying to swallow the scallops she had chewed."I don't know, Clara, suddenly I lost my appetite," Joe answered. He just stared at his empty plate."Is Uncle very afraid to meet Grandpa

68."Yes, Clara, I was looking for you," Joe replied. He kissed Clara. Starting from her forehead, then her eyelids, moving down to her left cheek and then to her right. Then, he gazed longingly at Clara's lips.Relieved, it turned out Gaston had never kissed Clara."Uncle...," Clara's words halted as Joe kissed her eagerly. Long, gradual, and deep. While embracing her, Joe continued to kiss Clara. Hundreds of kisses felt insufficient to make up for the month after he woke up from his coma. If he remembered correctly, he missed Clara every day. Morning, noon, and night. Clara, Clara, and Clara.Slowly, Joe released his kiss. He gazed at Clara's face carefully. Their gazes met each other."Clara Rusadi Lim, I apologize for all my mistakes towards you. Firstly, for not telling you when I woke up, and secondly, for pretending to have amnesia," Joe confessed. With his right hand, he brushed Clara's hair behind her ear, then cupped her beautiful face. "I missed you so much, Clara, I misse

67.Creak.The door opened.Joe's and Gaston's eyes met. Joe stared sharply at the man in front of him, observing Gaston from head to toe. He noticed three buttons of Gaston's shirt undone, and his hair was disheveled. Joe's eyes sharpened as he spotted traces of nude lipstick on Gaston's lips."What's up? Can't you see I'm busy!" Gaston pretended to adjust his appearance. "Oh," his face looked surprised, and he quickly straightened his shirt buttons."What are you going to talk about! Spit it out now! I need to sleep and rest!" Joe said, trying to appear indifferent.Gaston nodded, turning back to glance at Clara briefly before closing the door."Let's talk downstairs!" Joe ordered. He really wanted to talk to Gaston and get him out of his house.Gaston followed, following Joe's steps down the stairs. They both sat facing each other in the living room."Here's the thing, Joe, when you were in a coma, Mr. Lim asked me to take care of Clara. Essentially, he preferred me to be Clara's h
My Handsome Uncle Chap 66
Part 66.Joe's words made Celine angry. Without much thought, she decided to leave the house."It seems like a mistake for me to be here. Uncle Joe, you need to be more decisive with your feelings. If you still love her, fight for it! I know your love for her is immense. It's impossible for you to protect Clara, sacrificing yourself if you don't love her!" Celine's message sounded slightly irritated. She realized she was defeated by Clara. "Dr. Gaston, Clara, I'll take my leave now! I hope you can resolve your feelings without involving too many parties! Goodnight!" Celine nodded respectfully and left Joe Sebastian's dining room.Clara's gaze fell downwards. She bowed her head, deeply hurt by Joe's words. Meanwhile, Dr. Gaston looked at Joe with disappointment. He felt Joe didn't need to go that far to make Clara give up; telling her directly would have been more mature."It seems like you've learned a lot from Vivian; now you're so good at acting like your late wife!" Gaston said. "We

Part 65.Clara lay down next to Kimmy, the little girl asleep from exhaustion. Clara's eyes focused on her phone screen, feeling frustrated and unsure who to contact.She continued to move her thumb, scrolling through her phone, and found Dr. Gaston's number.The call connected."Hello," greeted Dr. Gaston on the other end."Hello, doctor, it's me, Clara!" she said."What's up, Clara?" Dr. Gaston asked."Uncle Joe invited someone for dinner, can Dr. Gaston also come here? I need Dr. Gaston's help," Clara asked hopefully. She wasn't sure if her plan would succeed, but there was no harm in trying."So tonight, I come to Joe's house?" the doctor confirmed."Yes.""What can I help you with, Clara?""Dr. Gaston's presence!" Clara replied."Alright, what time should I come?""Just a moment, I'll ask Uncle Joe, then I'll let you know, the journey from the hospital to here is only half an hour!" Clara replied, looking at the wall clock showing it was almost half past four in the afternoon."O

Part 64."Nad, something's not right!" Clara exclaimed."What do you mean?" Nadia asked.In the afternoon, she purposely skipped her last class to meet Clara."Dr. Gaston and Uncle Joe seem to agree to hide something from me!" Clara said, lowering her head as she sipped her cold juice."What are they hiding?" Nadia inquired."Uncle Joe has amnesia, but I'm sure it's impossible! There must be something he's hiding!" Clara explained."What if he really has amnesia?" Nadia suggested another possibility, considering the gunshot wound on Joe's temple."Maybe, I just need to know what really happened!" Clara lowered her head, knowing that no one in Joe's residence would tell her the truth."When will you go home?" Nadia asked."I'll stay for two nights, then head to London!" Clara replied."Alright, I suggest that during your two days and two nights in Jakarta, you should stay at Uncle Joe's house. Maybe the parents, servants, driver, and gardener will keep silent! But, did you forget? Clar
My Handsome Uncle Chap 63
63.The ticking of the clock in Clara's room was agonizingly slow. Standing while gazing at the city's beauty from her room tonight did little to ease the unease in her heart.Remembering that Mrs. Linn and Doctor Gaston hadn't responded to her messages for almost a week made Clara wonder what was really going on. Initially, Clara thought that the two of them were just busy. But the photos sent by Nadia made Clara suspicious.Clara got up from her seat. She left the room and immediately sought out her grandfather."Where's Grandpa?" Clara asked the maid."Mr. Lim is in his room, Miss," the woman replied.Clara walked towards her grandfather's room, which was next to Aunt Margaret's room.Knock.Knock.Knock.Clara gently knocked on the door."Grandpa," Clara called out.After a moment, the door opened, revealing the middle-aged man standing before her."What is it, Clara?"Freedy Lim observed his granddaughter's face. There was a restlessness there. Clara's eyebrows furrowed, and her
