Only a Substitute Wife
40. The Spoiled Keenan

The Spoiled Keenan

“Enghh, hoam!” Clara woke up from her sleep when the clock on her nightstand rang. He blinked his eyes slowly while stretching his body. He looked around and saw himself in his own room.

He recalled Keenan holding his body back to his room. For some reason when remembering that, made Clara's heart beat so fast. He could also feel his face warming up. However, he hurriedly shook his head quickly to expel his dirty thinking.

“What do I think? Better, now I wash my face first,” muttered Clara who walked to the bathroom.

After that, he walked out of his room. However, as he walked down the stairs, he widened his eyes when he saw Keenan who was about to fall near the living room. He quickly held the man's body.

“M-Mas Keenan, why?! What happened?” clara asked with a worried look.

Clara grew worried when she saw Keenan's paled face. In fact, the man's body was trembling as well.

“You don't scare me, dong! I drove to the hospital aja well,” said Clara who memapah Keenan body.

Keenan shook his head weakly. He held his stomach firmly. “Ja-Don't. It's just my stomach relapsing. It only hurts for a moment. It'll be better soon. You don't have to take me to the doctor. There's medicine in my room,” hold Keenan who put his head on Clara's shoulder while saying softly.

“Then you sit here first. I'll be back with your medicine,” said Clara who led Keenan to sit on the living room couch.

Clara immediately climbed the stairs leading to her room. She began to look for her husband's medicine. After getting the medicine, Clara immediately returned to Keenan with a glass of water in her hand.

“This, quickly take the medicine,” said Clara handed the medicine and a glass of water to Keenan.

Keenan immediately received the medicine and took it. After taking the medicine, Keenan suddenly laid his head on Clara's thigh. Makes the woman gasp at what Keenan is doing.

“K-You why?!” screeched Clara with slightly widened eyes.

“I just want to lean on you for a moment. This way I will heal faster,” replied Keenan who began to close his eyes to comfort himself.

Clara could only sigh slowly. She let her husband lie down on her thigh. Clara smiled faintly looking at Keenan who was comfortable in her

Never mind, he looks really sick at the moment. Just let him lean here for a minute ~ Inner Clara

Finally Clara just silently let Keenan who was lying on his thigh. He prefers to read a book in his hand. But suddenly he realized something. He glanced at Keenan who was still closing his eyes.

“I-It's like..”.

Why do I even feel that I am his mother compared to his wife? Fuck up! ~ Inner Clara

Slowly Keenan opened his eyes. He looked directly at the face of Clara who was reading a book. For some reason, he became fascinated to see how serious his wife was when reading a book. Clara's serious face was really pretty!

“Clara?” call Keenan unconsciously.

Clara immediately turned her face to Keenan when the man suddenly called out his name.

“What's up? Are you feeling better?” clara asked as she stroked Keenan's head.

Instead of answering, Keenan instead pulled Clara's nape to get closer to her face. He immediately kissed with a thin lips Clara. Clara is shocked by what Keenan is doing. No doubt, right now his chest is pounding fiercely.

“This is a gift thanks for taking care of me,” Keenan said with a big smile.

Deeply embarrassed, Clara immediately got up from her seat. “A-I'll make porridge for you,” stutters Clara while moving from the front of Keenan.

Seeing Clara misbehaving, Keenan was very satisfied. “Clara seems to be deliberately avoiding. He doesn't seem to have the heart of a weak man. I want to keep doing it. So that I could see such an expression continue,” muttered Keenan who was still smiling widely.

“Mas Keenan is clearly taking advantage of his weak condition. You sneaky man!” clara's sigh that puffed her cheeks irritated while stomping her legs.

“Clara?”

Clara immediately turned her face to Aunt Nani who approached her. “For Aunt Nani!” greet Clara with a big smile.

“What are you making porridge for? Are you sick?” asked Aunt Nani who put her hand on Clara's forehead.

Clara chuckled softly. He was very happy to get the attention of Aunt Nani. Attention like a real mother. Things he never got in the Wesleys.

“I'm not sick Aunty. The sick one is Mas Keenan. Her stomach relapsed, so I made porridge for her,” replied Clara

Aunt Nani smiled meaningfully at Clara's words. “Wah, great! Aunty was happy to see you being considerate with Young Master. Aunty is happy to see your relationship is always good,” said Aunt Nani while rubbing slowly Clara's shoulder.

Clara just smiled thinly. Can something like that be obtained? At the time of his position as only a surrogate wife. He knew very well that his relationship with Keenan would not last long.

“Yes already, you just continue well. Auntie takes care of the others first. If there is anything you need, call Auntie well,”, said Aunt Nani who passed from the presence of Clara.

Clara thought back to Aunt Nani's words just now. “Will my marriage with Keenan be good? I was afraid to imagine such a thing. I'm afraid my wish won't come true,” murmured Clara

He breathed a rough breath. He took a tray to put the porridge on and immediately brought it to Keenan.

“If you are feeling a bit better, eat this porridge,” said Clara

“My hand is still not powered to lift something. Can you bribe me?” pinta Keenan with a spoiled tone.

Clara who wanted to curse immediately undo that intention. This guy is sick. So, it can't be emotional. Clara gave a rough breath. He took a step to sit next to the man.

“When you get sick, you will be spoiled gini?” clara asked in a protesting tone as she picked up a tray filled with porridge.

“Meanwhile you should be here to accompany me,” Keenan replied in a relaxed tone.

Clara took a spoonful of porridge and blew it first. “You should take good care of your stomach. How about getting sick again later?” timpal Clara who began to feed Keenan.

Keenan accepted the bribe with pleasure. “Aren't you by my side? You're my wife?” ask Keenan

Clara again gave a rough sigh. “Mas Keenan, you know the most about our relationship. You know why I ended up with you. I won't be forever by your side,” explained Clara who lowered her head for a moment.

Clara lifted her face to look at her husband.

“One day, you will definitely find someone who means something to you. Someone you'll like and fight for. She will be by your side forever,” Clara added. That was Clara's thinking about her relationship with Keenan. The relationship he believes in will end.

However, suddenly his hand was clasped tightly by Keenan. “Clara, are you so sure that the person I like is ... not you?” asked Keenan with an annoyed look.

Clara was stunned to hear Keenan's words. But he didn't want to take it seriously. To that end, he immediately switched the conversation.

“It looks like you've healed well. You're just pretending you're not in front of me?” satirize Clara with her slanted smile.

Sontak Keenan was stunned to hear the insinuation. He quickly changed his expression.

“E-Ehm, I'm still not healed!”

Clara gasped at the rapid change. He immediately shook his head to see Keenan's attitude that seemed to have two personalities.
