Only a Substitute Wife
39. Thank you, Keenan!

Thank you, Keenan!

Keenan turned his body towards Jina. Keenan's cold eyes made Jina speechless.

“If there is one person who dares to disturb Clara, I will make sure the person gets a reply that many times over,” threatened Keenan as it passed from the presence of Jina.

While Jina held her hand that let out cold sweat and trembled it. Keenan's aura was truly terrifying, as many people often spoke of.

“I didn't think that bastard would be very important to Keenan. If you dare to mention it again, I will definitely get in big trouble,” hissed Jina while biting her thumb.

Elsewhere, Clara is seen running. Tears had even washed his face. His heart really hurt right now. Clara stopped her steps as fatigue approached her. But the crying never stopped.

“Ter-It turns out I only use the tools they use to get what they want. They'll never assume I exist. They're so mean,” shriek Clara

“Don't cry anymore. You look so ugly if you cry you know,” chirped Keenan who walked up to Clara.

Clara immediately turned her face to Keenan while looking cynically at the man.

“Can you just shut up?” clara hatch

This guy! Instead of comforting this sad me, he mocked me. Can't he be a little good at times like this? ~ Inner Clara who was quite upset by Keenan's words.

Keenan smiled faintly. He walked closer to Clara. He cupped the woman's face. Making Clara quite surprised by Keenan's sudden actions.

“I could have been quiet. But, you can't cry anymore,” said Keenan in a soft tone while stroking with a soft cheek Clara that still has tears.

Because of her nervousness, Clara immediately brushed Keenan's hand off her face. “A-I can do it myself,” Clara said

“Hmm, you and your mama are grabbing what the hell was that?” ask Keenan

Clara was stunned because Keenan suddenly asked about it. “Nothing. It has nothing to do with you, ” replied Clara who preferred not to say anything.

Keenan didn't seem to believe what Clara said. He touched Clara's chin and lifted her up slowly so that he could look right at her face. “I heard my name in your conversation earlier. Did you guys fight because of me?” ask Keenan back

Clara could no longer hold back her tears. Her tears smoothly rolled back down her cheeks. It's even getting louder. Keenan was a bit surprised when Clara came back crying.

“Clara, you don't have to pretend to be tough in front of me. You don't have to hide anything,” Keenan explained

Sontak Clara widened her eyes when Keenan suddenly hugged her tightly. But, he could not push the body when he felt the warmth there.

“Nothing, Clara. I was right here. I won't let anyone bully you again,” Keenan said with a gentle swab on Clara's hair.

Clara drowned her head in Keenan's chest. He even inhaled deeply the scent of the man's body. “A-I'm so tired. Can you just take me home?” pinta Clara with a soft tone.

Keenan clasped Clara's hand to get to her car. He stared at Clara who lowered her face with a sad look.

She is a very kind and gentle woman. But, he could even act tough in front of everyone. I don't know how long he's been through this. He must be very exhausted not ~ inner Keenan

“If your heart still hurts, then cry. Put out all the emotions in your heart. Crying doesn't mean you're whiny, but crying will make your heart feel better,” Keenan said

Clara immediately looked at Keenan with her slanted smile. “Kak Keenan, you told me not to cry because I would look ugly. But why are you telling me to cry now? How come you're so goofy gini anyway?” clara complained with the hand she had folded on her chest.

Keenan was stunned by Clara's reply. “Crying or not, it's up to you. You're not sweet at all. Not sensitive! I became lazy to take care of you again,” timpal Keenan who shifted his eyes.

Suddenly Clara laughed loudly at Keenan's more visible reaction even wrong behavior. “You're saying me at the moment. You are like this even sweeter tau,” reply Clara who continues to laugh.

Looking at the laughing Clara made Keenan smile widely. He was happy to see Clara laughing because of him.

He praised me like that, it felt pretty good too. I never felt like this ~ Inner Keenan

Keenan continued to pay attention to how Clara kept laughing.

I don't know why at the moment I feel the relationship with Clara who is just a surrogate wife is not bad either. I feel like I can make our relationship closer. I don't seem to mind this change ~ Inner Keenan back.

When they got to the front of their house, Keenan looked at Clara who had fallen asleep. A gentle smile was seen on his face. Keenan opened his car door and walked over to Clara's seat. He stared at the plain face of Clara who was asleep.

“He must be very tired,” muttered Keenan who lifted Clara ala bridal style body and brought her inside.

As usual, the house will be quiet because of the servants who are already behind the house. To that end, Keenan always carries a spare key with him. He slowly climbed up the stairs with Clara in his arms.

“Emhhh..

Clara slid her head against Keenan's chest in search of comfort. It makes Keenan unconsciously giggled amused with Clara's behavior.

Keenan laid Clara in the woman's room. He took off the suit worn by Clara and covered the woman's body. Not to forget he also took off the shoes Clara was wearing. It was the first time in his life that he had ever taken a shoe off someone else's foot.

“Emhh, Mas Keenan. Have we reached home?” asked Clara in a hoarse tone.

Keenan was somewhat stunned by that ‘Mas’ call. Rarely would Clara call him that.

“Daddy, we're home. Now, you don't think of anything else. Sleep well. When you wake up, everything will be fine,” jawan Keenan gently stroked Clara's hair.

Clara nodded her head slowly and closed her eyes again. Keenan slowly kissed his wife's forehead as he walked out of her room.

Clara smiled broadly in her sleep. “Thank you Keenan!”
