“What time is it?” Claire asked. And Alex turned his gaze to the clock on the wall.“It's very early, dear. If you're sleepy, go back to sleep,” said Alex who stroked Claire's head, and began to close her eyes slowly. Suddenly Claire smiled amusedly. She looked up to squeeze Alex's bumpy nose.“You're not working?” quipped Claire because of what Alex said last night. And Alex replied with a snort.“Stop mocking me, Claire.”Claire laughed softly. Then she tried to get up and let go of Alex's hand. But Alex immediately opened his eyes and pulled Claire's hand back to fall asleep in his arms.“Where are you going?” asked Alex.“I'm going to the bathroom. I feel like I'm at the end,” Claire replied which instantly made Alex chuckle. His wife immediately ran a little away from him, then disappeared into the bathroom door. Claire decided to take a shower instead. Thirty minutes later she came out. And when she opened the door, she saw that Alex was now standing in front of the mirror wh
In the afternoon, Alex took Claire to the place he always visits every month. That was his mother's grave.Back then, after opening his heart to accept Claire as his wife, Alex had also promised that he would visit his mother's grave together with his wife.And it turned out that Alex's words were only fulfilled now.Wearing sunglasses, Alex held Claire's hand. They walked hand in hand into the cemetery.Then they arrived at a grave. “This is my mother's grave,” Alex told Claire who stood silently beside him. Claire looked at Alex, then she turned her gaze to the grave in front of her now.“My mom is the most beautiful woman to me. Then after that you,” Alex added glancing at his wife.Although the sunglasses hid the sadness on his husband's face, Claire could guess Alex was crying from his slightly trembling voice.Yes! Alex always couldn't stop crying when he remembered his mother.Claire let go of Alex's hand, the girl stepped up to get closer to the grave of her late father-in-l
“Yes. My hair hurts too,” she whined. Alex smiled. He was already moving up the bed. After getting behind Claire's body. Alex began to remove his wife's hairpins one by one.“Alex. Slowly. Don't just pull. My hair is not a tug of war!”Alex chuckled to himself. Looking at Claire who was moaning while holding her head when Alex was still trying to remove the hairpins around the bun.“It's already slow. Don't overdo it.”Claire pursed her lips while grimacing.“You're not feeling me. I've hit my forehead on the floor, hurt my knee, and now I'm getting my hair pulled. It hurts, Alex.”“Who says I don't feel you. Our hearts are one, Claire. I definitely know how you feel,” Alex replied, which made Claire smile, then glanced at Alex shyly.“Since when are you good at flirting?” asked Claire with a blushing face.“Since I met you. Then God brought us together in marriage.”Hearing that, Claire instantly flashed her sweetest smile. She blushed. Obviously, she was almost diabetic upon hearin
It seemed to make Claire's body feel electrified. Alex made her heart race.Then Alex looked back at his wife.“If you don't want to die in a crazy way, don't make me crazy.”Claire frowned for a moment. But then she laughed and slapped Alex lightly on the cheek who was also laughing at her words.“Where did you learn such dime flirting?” asked Claire holding back the amused look on her face.While still driving, Alex shrugged his shoulders.“Don't call my words nicknames. My flirting is very expensive, Claire. And you'll have to pay for it after we get to the room,” Alex said and then rolled his eyes.Claire just nodded and smiled.But she couldn't deny that her instincts as a grown-up girl wanted the same thing. With what Alex was thinking right now.*** Claire gasped. Feeling Alex's movements getting stronger down there.“Claire...”The man growled. Holding both of Claire's hands above the girl's head. While his lips continued to land on her neck and face.“I'm out, Baby. I love y
In the evening, they went out. Apparently, the action of fighting on the bed made them forget that outside the hotel there was a beach that was actually their main destination.Alex walked along the shoreline. Claire held his hand by her side. “What a fresh night breeze.” Claire commented, tucking her wind-blown hair behind her ear. Alex turned to her with a sweet smile.“We should have been here since this afternoon. But you were teasing me, so I had to spend all my time on the bed.” Claire pouted, she then pinched Alex's waist, but the man was very good at calculating his wife's hand speed. So Alex dodged first.Alex laughed and ruffled Claire's hair anxiously, then embraced his wife's body while walking.“Don't pout. Those pouty lips of yours make me want to touch you on the beach,” Alex said. But Claire replied with a snort.“You're a bed brain!” snapped Claire. But she returned Alex's embrace which felt warm tonight.“By the way... what can we do on this beach for the next thr
“I do look like Tom Cruise. You know Tom Cruise? That's the Hollywood actor who's also my twin,” Alex spoke to Maureen with confidence.Claire and Micah were amused.“The cows and goats will laugh at your words, Alex!” Claire chuckled.But Alex shrugged his shoulders.“Let's just say that you're too image-conscious to even acknowledge your own husband's good looks!” Alex said with a glare. Then he refocused on Maureen and held the tiny toddler.Suddenly, however, she felt her arms get wet, followed by an unpleasant odor that wafted up her nose.Alex's brow furrowed as his nose moved to sniff around.Claire and Micah already covered their noses with their palms.“By the way, what is this smell?” sniffed Alex wonderingly. “And, why are my arms wet? It doesn't feel like it's been raining,” Alex asked again.Next, Micah immediately bulged his eyes.“Oh my gosh! Maureen must have pooped!” squealed Micah covering his mouth.Hearing that, instantly Alex and Claire were frozen in place. Then
But Alex looked at her hands.“I still have a lot of soap on my hands, Claire.”“That's it. Clean them first!” said Claire.Then Alex suddenly grinned mischievously. It made Claire's forehead wrinkle and she looked at Alex's face with squinting eyes.Claire didn't have time to think anything, because Alex had already pulled her hand until their lips clashed and the action of linking lips was inevitable.Then Alex whispered. “Do you want to go inside?” Alex asked very softly. Making Claire's ears tingle.Claire surrendered, when Alex actually pulled her body into the bathroom, then Alex closed the door tightly.Forget about Claire already taking a shower! Because after this, she had to take another shower together with Alex.*** Alex and Claire are going snorkeling. Alex is already an expert in diving. He often visits various tropical beach resorts to observe the various types of flora and fauna that exist in them.As for Clare, this was her first time.“Are you sure this will be safe
After enjoying the sunset, Alex took Claire to a restaurant not far from the coast. They walked hand in hand.Claire didn't let go of Alex's grip that guided her steps from the front. Alex pulled out a chair, then invited Claire to sit there. “Thank you, husband,” Claire said, smiling up at Alex. Alex returned the sweet smile, then landed his lips briefly on Claire's forehead as she looked up at him.Then Alex also plopped himself down on the chair in front of his wife.“What would you like to order?” asked one of the waiters who immediately approached their table.Alex looked at the menu with a furrowed brow. “I'll have the fruit pudding and steak. Drink lychee tea,” Alex said. Then he turned to Claire who was still choosing. “Honey, what do you want to eat?” “Just like you.”Alex smiled. “Plagiarism,” he sneered. Claire returned it with a sneer. But Alex ignored her. He chose to look up at the waiter who was taking their order.“My wife is the same. Fruit pudding and steak. But
"I've been in this house for quite some time. I haven't even met my children and husband yet. You must have seen the news wrong. Alex and I have never taken a vacation to Paris with our child," Claire said, shaking her head slowly.Hearing Claire's confession, Lenny was shocked.Claire said she's been in this house for a long time? Then, who is the woman with Alex right now?"I was kidnapped. I was in Tristan's house for almost a month. Tristan is a man obsessed with me, he locked me up, forbid me to see my family. Help me, Lenny, I want to see my husband. By now Alex and our two children must be looking for me. They're probably worried about me." Both of Claire's hands held Lenny's.Claire's words this time made Lenny even more stunned. His mouth was hanging open as he could not believe Claire's statement."But Mrs. Knight. I don't think your husband and son are worried about you.""What?! How could you come to such a conclusion?" Claire lo
With all her might, Claire tried to scream. Hoping that her husband would hear and recognize her voice.Unfortunately, Alex's car was already too far away.Claire's tears broke out. Her body suddenly went limp. If only she could make eye contact with Alex, surely he wouldn't think twice about saving her."Mr. Tristan knows you tried to run away from home. He is very angry and waiting for you. Obey us, and we won't hurt you," threatened one of the bodyguards as he instructed the driver to drive the car back to Tristan's house.Upon arriving at Tristan's residence, Claire, who was already weak, let the two bodyguards hold her hand and entered the living room.There, Claire's eyes immediately met with Tristan's eyes that were filled with anger.The man's gaze looked sharply at her, as if he wanted to pounce on her.Claire gave up, she didn't care if Tristan wanted to kill her right now.Clenching his fists firmly, Tristan walked d
Licking her lips, Alice shook her head. “Not at all.”Nancy took a breath, then let it out harshly. “That Alex Knight is still normal, right? Why would he ignore a woman as sexy as you?”“He's normal, Mom. But every time I try to get Alex to make out with me, there's always an interruption that stops us. Whether it's a call from an important person, or interruptions from Alex's annoying kids.” Alice explained and then exhaled in annoyance.“Well, that's okay. Just do something else to make Alex want to touch you,” Nancy said, her smile implying a sinister plan.Alice's eyes narrowed curiously. “How?”Nancy told Alice what she had to do to get Alex to spend the night with her.Hearing her mother's idea, Alice smiled widely.“That's right. Mommy is smart,” Alice praised.“If Mommy's plan works, you have to add more to Mommy's shopping allowa
[I thought so too at first, but my friend said he could swear. The man holding Mrs. Knight was quite handsome, tall and they looked very close]“Does your friend have any proof?” asked Alex, getting curious.[Unfortunately not, sir.]“Then tell your friend to keep his mouth shut as long as he doesn't have any evidence. Make it clear to him that my wife would never cheat on me behind my back!” After saying that, Alex immediately switched off the phone in annoyance.His face was bright red after hearing Vincent's words.Claire went to the restaurant with another man, he said?Alex snorted. “I've known Claire for years and I know what kind of woman my wife is. She wouldn't play crazy with another man.”***At night, Claire couldn't sleep at all. She felt bored and bored.Every second was tortured by longing for Alex and their two children.Plus, there was no television to comfort h
“Whatever you say about me, I don't care as long as you're by my side,” Tristan replied, widening his smirk even more.Claire lost her temper. She couldn't hold herself back any longer from slapping the asshole in front of her."Your slap is so sweet, Claire. Your slap alone can't make me hate you, in fact I love you even more."“You're a crazy person!”“I'm crazy about you. You should know that,” Tristan whispered, bringing himself closer and closer to make Claire's body stiffen as she leaned her back against the back of the bed.“Don't fuck with me!” Claire picked up the fruit knife on the nightstand and held it in front of Tristan's face.Instead of feeling threatened or frightened, Tristan smiled calmly.That made Claire gulp harshly. She didn't know what else to do to scare Tristan.“I won't mess with you if you don't try to run away from me. The only thing I want from
As soon as Claire stopped in front of him, Tristan looked at that beautiful face to his heart's content.“Where are we having dinner?” Claire asked without preamble.Her face showed a cold look. But her heart was gathering the courage to devise an escape idea."We'll eat at a restaurant not far from here. It's called ‘Royale Resto’. The atmosphere there is very romantic. It's perfect for us."Tristan's sweet words sounded irritating to Claire's ears.“Romantic?” Claire's face showed her dislike for the word. “I'm a married woman in case you forgot.”"I'm sorry, Claire. Alright, forget about it. Let's go!"Claire complied. Following Tristan's footsteps who walked in front of her.A moment later, Tristan's car arrived near the restaurant. They both got out and immediately took their seats.“What would you like to order?” Tristan asked as he opened the menu book.
Claire could feel Tristan's trembling fingers as he grasped her hands. The man's voice also looked panicked and frightened, as if he was afraid that Claire would really leave him.Claire felt strange about Tristan's behavior.***Hearing the sound of Alex's car, Alice rushed out of the house. She chuckled when she saw Alice getting out of the car with Valen.“Why did Alex have to find that damn kid?!” Alice snorted in annoyance. She folded her arms across her chest.“Mommy!” Valen opened his arms wide and ran towards Alice."Valen, honey! Where have you been? The driver was looking for you at school this afternoon." Alice welcomed the hug. Acting like a good mother.Alex walked over and stopped behind Valen's body. His eyes watched the interaction between his wife and son.“Someone locked her in the toilet on purpose,” Alex said. Making Alice look up at him.Her heart began to fret at Alex's words. Did that man know about Alice's interference in this matter?"How can you conclude that
Seeing her cell phone ringing and Tristan's name on the screen, Alice immediately picked up the call.“Hello, Mr. Tristan?”[Alice, what about your role in the Knight family? Alex and his children have no suspicions about you, right?" [Alice, how about your role in the Knight family?]"Nothing, sir. They all believe that I am Claire. It's just that the little girl is annoying."[I don't care about that little girl. She's your business. Don't complain to me!]Alice's face hardened at Tristan's fierce words.Yes, all Tristan cared about was the real Claire. Not Alice's complaints. Alice was not important to that man at all.“I'm sorry, Mr. Tristan.”[Alex] Keep doing your part well. Don't be careless! Don't do anything that will make Alex suspicious! If Alex gets suspicious of you, you'll know the consequences!]Hearing Tristan's threat, Alice's body stiffened.Alice knew Tristan really meant his threat."I understand. Take it easy, I'll be careful."[Oh yeah, I want to ask you a favor.
“Honey!” Alice, who now had Claire's face, now walked over to Alex who was sitting on the sofa in the living room.Alice deliberately wore a transparent white dress that made her underwear visible from the outside.Alice suddenly sat on Alex's thighs and wrapped her arms around Alex's neck.“Why baby? I thought you were sleeping with the kids.” Alex was surprised to see his wife more aggressive.Even Alex was surprised to see Claire who was usually shy and never started teasing him first, now suddenly wearing a transparent dress and sitting on his thigh.“I can't sleep. I want to sleep with you,” said Claire, falsely running her hands over Alex's broad chest.Alex's forehead wrinkled. He looked closely at Alice's face, whose facial features were so similar to the real Claire, that Alex did not realize that the woman in front of him was a different person.Feeling happy to see his wife acting aggressively, Alex then moved his hand, about to touch Alice's cheek, but was immediately brus
