Only a Substitute Wife
33. I'm Your Husband!

Keenan stopped his car suddenly. Making Clara so stumbled with the dashboard in front of her.

“Auw!” clara held her stumbling head.

This made Keenan surprised. He quickly grabbed Clara's head. He rubbed gently on Clara's forehead. He even blew repeatedly the stumbling part.

Really, it made Clara stunned. Especially now that the faces of the two were very close. However, because the man's attitude made Clara aware. He quickly pushed Keenan's body away from him.

“Stop! It's all because you know. How can you brake suddenly?!” clara's protest shifted her eyes.

“Everything I want is responsible. Here first, later it becomes swollen tau,” said Keenan who again pulled Clara's head and blew the woman's forehead.

“Udah ah! I'm not sick,” said Clara, he did it because he was embarrassed too close to Keenan.

“I'm sorry! I'm just emotional because you said that,” said Keenan

“Didn't what I said be true? We shouldn't be close. Because we...”.

“Stop Clara! I don't want to hear it. Can we stop this conversation? I'm picking you up to apologize for yesterday. I'm sorry I was rude to you yesterday. For that, I want to make up for it by taking you to lunch together. You want to, right?” take Keenan

Clara was somewhat stunned by the children. Why did this guy suddenly become a good gini? Not as usual.

Keenan touched Clara's shoulder. “You want to?” take Keenan

Somehow Keenan's gaze made him bewitch to nod his head.

“Good! We go now well,” said Keenan who returned to run his car.

What the hell am I doing? Why did I forgive this man? I should still be angry at this man and try to stay away from him. But, that handsome smile completely diverted everything ~ Inner Clara

Clara chose to turn her eyes on the car window. He slightly glanced at Keenan who turned out to be smiling, though thin.

Finally they arrived in front of a restaurant. Clara was a bit stunned by the restaurant. Not without reason, he knew because this restaurant was a five-star restaurant. He said it was very difficult to book a place.

“Why are we here?” clara asked with a confused look.

Keenan looked back at him confused. “Didn't I tell you I'd take you to lunch? Well, we're here,” Keenan replied

“But, why should this restaurant? Didn't..”

“Udahlah, later only ask. Let's go in first. Come on,” cut Keenan who immediately grasped Clara's hand to enter the restaurant area.

Some people stared at them. Who doesn't know Young Master Gibson? A reliable business person who never absent to enter the Forbes magazine.

Clara is actually unusual with the attention of many people. For that, he would rather bow his head.

“Young Lady Gibson can't lower her face. You are the face of the Gibson family's son-in-law,” whispered Keenan who immediately made Clara lift her face up.

They were directed to enter a room that turned out to have been designed specifically for the Young Master.

Keenan guided Clara's hand to sit on the chair. Honestly, Clara feels special about Keenan's current treatment. But, he must remain aware that there will be no future between them.

Shortly after, some servants came and brought some food on the table.

“Come, you eat,” said Keenan

Clara slowly began to eat the food on the table. He saw Keenan focusing on his food. For some reason, he felt that they were like a normal married couple. But, when he recalled the incident where Keenan was so angry with him yesterday, Clara had to bury all her desire to live a normal life. Because there will be no definite relationship between the two.

“There's something you want to say?” ask Keenan suddenly.

Clara gasped because Keenan suddenly said. “I'm just thinking. Maybe if we don't become husband and wife, at most we can be good friends or relatives,” explained Clara

Suddenly the hand movement of Keenan who was holding the spoon stopped. He looked towards Clara who was eating her food.

“Friends?”

Keenan grabbed Clara's hand. It made Clara look surprised at him.

“Clara, you need to remember this. We will never be friends forever. Do you understand?” timpal Keenan with a sharp look.

When Clara wanted to say, Keenan first spoke again.

“You are my wife, so why am I your friend?” ask Keenan

Clara turned her eyes.

“Ta-But, you know that this relationship is only a compulsion. You told me yourself not to want this relationship to exist,” explained Clara

“But I don't want you to think of as your friend. I am your rightful husband. So, I have the right to set you up,” said Keenan who got up from his seat and walked out of the room.

Seeing that made Clara sigh violently. He had no idea what Keenan was thinking. The man was completely planless. Just say it like this, say it soon.

“Aihh, stop! I better just go home. No need to think about that guy first. I must see the novel that has been sent by Kak Yanti,” muttered Clara while following Keenan who had come out first.

Keenan's car stopped right in front of the house. Keenan walked out first from the car. Makes Clara sure the man is still mad at her. Clara got out of the car to catch up with Keenan.

“Keenan, Clara! You guys home?”

Keenan and Clara are quite surprised because of Mama Maya's presence there.

“Mama? Why didn't you say you were coming here?” clara asked as she hugged her in-laws body.

“Mama wants to surprise you. Oh yeah, Mama's got something for you. You guys want lunch now, right?” take Maya

“We've...”.

“By kok, Ma! We have not had lunch yet,” cut Clara who immediately embraced Keenan's arm.

Keenan was shocked because of Clara who suddenly cut off his words.

“Good! Come on, let's have lunch together,” invite Maya to pull Clara's hand with her.

Keenan could only sigh violently. Inevitably he had to take lunch, even though he was not in the mood at the moment.

“Where is Andy going, Ma? What's not coming here?” ask Clara

“Your father has gone golfing with his friend. So, Mama was left alone at home. Mending Mama came here to play with Mama's daughter-in-law,” explained Mama Maya while stroking her daughter-in-law's cheek.

Clara smiled broadly. “Still well Mama. I'm so happy that Mama is here,” said Clara

“You are also your mother's child. Dear Mama with this daughter Mama,” reply Maya

Keenan slightly widened his eyes at his mother's words. “Mama this how the hell? Clara's Mama's daughter-in-law, not Mama's son Tau,” protests Keenan

“Eihh, what's wrong Mama also considers her Mama's son? Clara is Mama's daughter-in-law. That's why I think of him as my mother's son. Why are you even suddenly sensitive gini?” asked Maya who looked at Keenan in confusion.

Clara grimaces slowly. He believes Keenan must still be concerned about the problem earlier when he said if their relationship could be a friend only. But, why would Keenan be upset about that? Isn't that what the man wanted?

Keenan just kept quiet. He prefers to continue eating.

“Oh yes, Clara. You also like to read novels?” ask Maya suddenly.

Clara looked at her in-laws. “Daddy, good thing, Ma. What's up?” ask Clara back.

“Mama see you have a novel message titled Hope it. As long as you know, my mom loves that story too. Even when the story was about to be narrated, Mama was very happy. However, the pre-order has not yet been opened. Where can you order the novel?” asked Maya with a confused look.

Suddenly Clara was stunned by the question from her in-laws. What should he answer at this time? There's no way he's saying he wrote the novel!
