All Chapters of Meeting Mr. Right By A One-night Stand: Chapter 711 - Chapter 720

Clarissa's last meal was before she went out in the morning. So much had happened between then and now. It was already dark outside and the woman was holding a torch, so she knew it must be night. It would be strange if she was not hungry. As she was thinking, she unconsciously licked her lips, and her tummy rumbled. Embarrassed, she rubbed her tummy, and asked, "Will that be too much trouble?" "Oh, no trouble at all. The food is all ready. Come on! If you can get out of bed, we'll go out to eat." Clarissa nodded. Although her body ached all over, she could still get out of bed by holding on to support. Painfully, she ambled along behind the woman outside, only to discover that outside was the living room. The living room was pitch dark, with a solitary oil lamp on the table illuminating a small perimeter. The woman led her to the table and Clarissa sat down. She said, "Wait here, I'll get you something to eat." Then, the woman walked to the ot

The children lived all year round in this impoverished village. Naturally, they had never had any snacks before. Their eyes lit up with delight at her offer. "Yes, yes, yes!" Clarissa smiled and thought that the children were quite cute despite feeling a little awkward that they had been tagging around her since she woke up. To her, making rice cakes was the least she could do for them. She was like any mother with a natural affection for children and would not be wary of them. The kitchen was dark and gloomy. Fortunately, there was a big window on the left. The kitchen became bright with the sunlight streaming in once the window was open. Since there was no electricity in the countryside, it was impossible to expect that there would be a gas stove. Clarissa turned around and looked at the little heads bobbing behind her before asking, "Who can start a fire?" Everyone enthusiastically raised their hands and shouted, "I will!"

Clarissa did not know why he was so sarcastic. Her request was not unreasonable and did not deserve such a response. His sarcastic response added to her worries. Up until now, she still had no idea who the assailants on the plane were. Then, there was this lost-in-time village with its peculiar inhabitants, and perhaps assailants were lurking amongst them... This horrible combination gave her no rest at all. Thankfully, the man was a man of his words. As he had promised, he proceeded with Clarissa to look for the mysterious Uncle Jasper. They left without dinner to the village chief's house where Uncle Jasper was. The village chief's house was not far, a mere twenty minutes walk. From a distance, they could see the bright lights from the slightly bigger village chief's house. There were people seated at tables around a campfire. A banquet was clearly in full swing. Having spotted them approaching, someone raised hi

Uncle Jasper's house was not big but was old and rundown. Even the quilt on the bed was torn. Still, it was much better than the little damp mud house that was Aunt Anne's home. When they were inside the room, Nora made sure that the door was locked. Then, she placed her ear to the door and listened. She heaved a breath of relief when she was sure that there was no sound of movement outside and that Uncle Jasper had gone downstairs with his wife to rest. Then, she pulled Clarissa to the bed and sat down together. She began to speak excitedly. "Let me take a look at you. How are you? I was worried and scared to death when I woke up and didn't see you!" As she spoke, she examined Clarissa from head to toe. Clarissa allowed her to carry on for a while, then grabbed her hand and inquired, "I'm fine. How about you? I heard that your leg was injured. How was it? Is it serious?" When they were walking in together, Clarissa noticed that Nora was limpin

Incidents like taking care of Nora's injury painted Uncle Jasper and Aunt Emma in a positive light, which made others look up to them. No doubt, Uncle Jasper was warm-hearted, fond of helping others, and had high prestige. Perhaps his personality appearing to be a bit eccentric to Clarissa and Nora was because of the local social customs and rules. This was something that Clarissa could not tell for sure. Fortunately, there was no obvious activity at the moment, except for some small signs that something was not right. As long as they did not do anything harmful to Clarissa and Nora, Clarissa did not want to make any false accusations. With her thoughts sorted out, Clarissa felt more relaxed. Then, she walked in front of Uncle Jasper who was busy smoking his pipe, and greeted him cheerfully, "Good morning, Uncle Jasper!" Uncle Jasper turned his head, peeped at her, and returned her greeting, "Good morning. Breakfast should be ready soon. Go and
