My Handsome Uncle Chap 23
23 || First Kiss ||Part 23.Clara, a high school senior, aged 17. Like most girls her age, Clara also didn’t fully understand the journey of life or how her current actions might impact her future.What Clara knew was that her feelings for Joe were genuine. She had rejected many boys who had crushes on her to preserve her love for the charming widower. Without fear, she showed him attention and didn’t care about older women competing for his affections.Clara remained steadfast, trying to stand her ground and protect her feelings of love. But now, Clara found herself at a crossroads. Between advancing and risking heartbreak or retreating with disappointment.Especially since Mrs. Linn seemed to disapprove of her closeness to Mr. Joe.“Ugh!” Clara sighed heavily. A heavy burden weighed on her chest. There was a lingering tightness, prompting tears to well up, then cascade down her cheeks.“Enough!” she muttered, wiping away the tears that flowed from the corners of her eyes.Clara’s

24 || The Truth? ||Part 24."Papa," called out Kimmy with her cute voice."Yes, dear?" Joe replied. "What's up, honey?" he added."Grandma said I'm going to have a new mom, is that true, Pa?" Kimmy asked, her voice trembling in typical four-year-old fashion."No, sweetheart," Joe answered, unable to explain further."Mama, why did Mama leave us, Pa?" Tears welled up in the little girl's eyes."Papa promised he wouldn't leave Kimmy, Kimmy, don't be sad, okay?" Joe reassured her.Kimmy nodded slowly."Now go to sleep, okay?" Joe requested. He wanted to quickly get Clara out of her hiding place. It wouldn't be fair for her to hide there for hours."Yes, Pa," Kimmy replied.But the little girl couldn't seem to close her eyes; her gaze was fixed on the photo of her parents' wedding."Papa!" Kimmy whispered."Yes, dear?""Thank you for putting Mama's picture back up; I don't feel lonely now because whenever I miss Mama, I can see her there, and Mama is also watching me!" she said.Joe nodd

25Clara entered her room. It hurt so much to hear every word Joe said. She would be hurt, that's the meaning behind every word from Joe.She lay down, looking at the curtains in her room. However, what the man said was true. So, what should she do?Mrs. Linn and Mr. Bond might not approve of her relationship with Joe. And so does Kimmy, the little girl wouldn't accept her as a mother. There's also Aunt Vivian, Joe Sebastian's ex-wife. It's clear she wants to reconcile after her career goals are achieved.It's no longer just the media's interest in the handsome CEO's love life. Clara sighed deeply. She couldn't deny that what Joe said was true. It challenged Clara's mindset that had never thought ahead. All she knew was her immense love for Uncle, and she wanted that love reciprocated! That's as simple as Clara's thinking.And.Joe couldn't be that foolish. Besides Clara, there were many hearts he had to care for. His parents' hearts and his little daughter's heart.Clara swallowed ha

26 || I Love You, Clara ||Part 26.Tonight the sky was overcast, mirroring Joe's troubled mind. What he felt in his heart right now, he had felt before. Jealousy, which meant he already liked Clara. Loved, to be more precise.Did the man truly love Clara? Joe stared at the walls of his room. The 45-day contract with Clara still had almost two weeks left. Mr. Om wasn't sure if he was truly in love, liked her, or just felt intrigued.Joe kicked his blanket roughly, frustrated with himself. Sleep was elusive, and he was confused even when awake.He reached for his phone intending to send a message to Clara. Dozens of messages from Mario on his WhatsApp were also visible. However, Joe didn't open any messages from the teenager and focused on typing a message to Clara.Joe: [Darling, are you asleep?]Clara: [Not yet, Uncle]Joe: [I want to talk.]Clara: [Okay.]Clara waited for Joe to call her. However, her phone's ringtone didn't sound. She kept waiting until she received a message from

27 || Strawberry Lips || Part 27."Om Joe likes me?" Clara asked to make sure. For a moment, she felt like what she had just heard was just a fantasy."Yes, I like you Clara!" Joe answered firmly."And then?" Clara hoped Joe would propose to her. Declare his love and ask her to be his girlfriend."I like you, I don't want us to just pretend to be dating, I want us to date and get to know each other better. Then, I will marry you Clara!" Joe said.Oh! Om Joe talked about marriage again? Honestly, Clara's thoughts hadn't gone that far yet."Why Clara? Don't you want to marry me?" Joe asked. He turned the car key, then started driving at a moderate speed."Umm...," Clara murmured, hesitant to answer."That's the risk, Clara. Because you love this widowed man, it means you must be ready to get married soon! At least after you graduate from college, I am willing and will wait. How about it?" Joe said. The man didn't like to play around. Especially after being played by his ex-wife."Umm...

28 || Obstacle! ||Part 28.Clara and Joe were on their way to a shopping center. Mr. Joko, sitting behind the wheel, focused on driving the four-wheeled vehicle, providing comfort to his employer.Joe and Clara sat in the back, while the four-year-old girl was in Clara's lap."Kak Clara!" whispered Kimmy."Yes," Clara replied, focusing her gaze and attention on Kimmy."Grandma said Kak Kimmy wants to go to college and not stay at home anymore. Is that true?" Kimmy asked.Clara threw a smile. She paused for a moment before answering the question. Meanwhile, Joe pretended to focus on his tablet screen. Although both of his senses were tuned into what Kimmy and Clara were talking about."Emmm ...," murmured Clara."Kak Clara will still stay here, she'll go to college and come home every day!" Joe interrupted, stealing a glance at Clara."Emmm ..., Grandma likes to lie, huh, Pa?" protested the little girl.Joe smiled thinly and glanced at Clara again.Clara chose to remain silent. She co

29 || Uncle Joe ||Part 29."Since when Uncle is here?" Clara whispered. "Why do you like barging into my room so much!" she protested. They faced each other, Clara's heavy breaths noticeable by Joe.Silence.Joe didn't answer. His hands cupped Clara's face, wiping away her tears."Uncle Joe, why do you keep sneaking into my room!" Clara asked again, trying to divert Joe's attention away from her. She didn't like Uncle seeing her weak like this. Clara always appeared fine. And now, she wanted to seem okay."This is my house, Clara, and lately, your room has become one of my favorite places in this house!" Joe replied. "Why are you crying?" He held Clara's face in place.Clara didn't answer, too scared to meet Joe's gaze. All she did was let her tears flow down her cheeks again."What did Vivian say?" Joe pressed on. Seeing Clara sad made him sad too."Nothing, Uncle!" Clara nodded slowly.With one move, Joe pulled Clara into his lap, embracing her."My dear Clara!" Joe whispered. His

Glancing briefly and then focusing back on the food on his plate.Clara sat down and picked up her breakfast menu. She chose to eat bread with chocolate spread."Clara, is today your last day of exams?" Joe pretended not to know. Even though he had marked and remembered today."Yes, Uncle," Cla

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

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

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
