Only a Substitute Wife
41. Not the Lyman Family Daughter

Not the Lyman Family Daughter

“Yes, Brother. I will be there soon,” Clara said, turning off the phone call.

Clara quickened her footsteps to walk towards the Publisher Cluster. Because of taking care of Keenan earlier, he forgot that he already had a promise to go to the publisher. He needs to find the editor who handles the script. Because there are some improvements needed in the script of the novel.

“Kak Yanti! Sorry I came a long time ago. There is an additional business at home,” Clara said when she reached the publisher's office. Honestly, he should be careful when entering the publisher's office. Because he was worried that he would meet with Axel later. He is lazy to ask a lot of things later.

“Nothing really. You did not come long either. Come on, come in,” take Yanti to lead Clara in.

“You want lunch with me, don't you?” invite Yanti when the conversation about the script is over.

“Emm, may Brother. Come,” replied Clara with a slow nod.

Yanti and Clara walk together towards a restaurant. They opened a restaurant near the publishing house so quickly.

“What do you want to order?” yanti asked as they sat on the chair and a servant approached them.

“Emm, I want spaghetti and strawberry juice, ” Clara replied

“Okey Mba! We ordered two spaghetti, one strawberry juice, and one avocado juice well,” Yanti told the waiter.

“Good Mba! Please look forward to the order!” The servant immediately passed from before the two.

“What about the talk with the editor earlier? Are you upset enough?” ask Yanti suddenly.

“K Regret? Pissed why?” clara asked with a confused look.

“Many of our writers have said that Tony's brother is too strict in writing. They have to be extra patient in editing the script,” said Yanti

Clara nodded in understanding. “Daddy anyway. Tony is very strict. But, I think that's natural. Wouldn't it be great if our script was told something was wrong? I'm even happy if my script is told something's wrong. It makes me able to improve again the quality of my writing,” explained Clara

Sontak Yanti applauds for Clara. “Wah, just this time I found a writer who can be patiently criticized. Many writers who even complain and even curse because they do not accept his writing are criticized like that. But, you're happy. It's good Cluster Publisher recruited you to be a writer,” timpal Yanti with a big smile.

Clara chuckled softly. “Ahh, Brother Yanti don't do it dong. I'm so embarrassed to know,” reply Clara

Yanti so follow me chuckling softly. Shortly thereafter the waiter came with their order. The two began to eat up their orders with some small talk. Before a problem suddenly approaches.

“Clara!”

Suddenly Clara turned her eyes to the figure of her stepmother who came to him.

“What's up?” asked Clara who got up from her seat and stood in front of Jina.

Jina quickly lifted a glass on the table and directly poured the contents of the drink on Clara. Making Clara even restaurant visitors stare towards them.

“Hei Mistress! What are you doing?!” yanti's protest immediately rose from her seat.

Clara looked furiously at Jina's figure. “Are you not ashamed to do this in front of so many people? You're going to smear the family's good name, Mrs Lyman,” sis Clara

Yanti was surprised by Clara's words. He did not expect that the middle-aged woman nearby was the mother of Clara. Although it is not known if Jina is not her real mother.

Clara was grimacing slowly. He folded both his hands on his chest. “A problem in the company, why should I look for me? Do I work there?” clara asked with a cynical smile.

People began to hide around them. Makes Jina so furious with Clara. He approached Clara who looked absolutely unafraid of him. “You were just an illegitimate son of Lyman. You should know where you are. Never refute orders from us,” sis Jina

Suddenly, Clara's body was pulled back. He looked in surprise when he saw Keenan beside him. Not only was he surprised, but everyone there was also shocked to see the figure of the president of the Gibson Group.

“K-Keenan?!”

Jina stared fearfully at Keenan who was looking at her so sharply. “Don't think I'll let this happen. No one can bully my wife. Go, Clara! We go home,” take Keenan while holding Clara's hand out of the restaurant.

Keenan leads Clara into his car. After that, he started running the car. During the journey, there was only silence between the two. The car suddenly stopped walking. Without saying a word, Keenan walked out of his car. Shortly after, Keenan returned with a paper bag in his hand.

“This”

“This what?” clara asked with a confused look.

“Do you not want to change your clothes? It was quite transparent tau,” replied Keenan

Clara looked towards her wet clothes. He immediately covered his body with both hands. “A-I'll replace it,” stutters Clara who goes directly towards the back seat of the car.

“Do not turn!” clara protested as Keenan would turn his head back.

“What are you ashamed of? I've seen it all, haven't I?” timpal Keenan with a relaxed tone.

“Ihh, just don't turn around!” clara's protests are back.

“Daddy, yes! I will not turn around. You change your clothes there,” timpal Keenan

Clara started to change her clothes. He looked towards Keenan who remained unturned behind.

“How do you know I'm here?” ask Clara

Keenan was silent for a moment. “Emm, I accidentally passed by and saw you in that restaurant,” Keenan replied, when the truth is not like that.

Clara just nodded her head understanding. “Thank you for helping me earlier,” Clara said

“You don't have to thank me. That problem earlier, aren't you planning on explaining it to me?” keenan asked, turning his head slightly.

“Nothing really. There's no problem anymore. Nothing to explain,” Clara replied with a sad look.

“Emm, you said that Jina wasn't your mama, right? During the event at that time, Jina's attitude towards you was not the attitude of a mother to her daughter,” Keenan commented

“Why? Suddenly feeling married to the fake Lyman family daughter? Don't you know this?” timpal Clara

“To be honest, before you showed up, I never saw you in the Lyman family at all. I didn't expect it,” reply Keenan

Clara smiled miris. “That's because I wasn't raised directly by the Lyman family. I am also not the daughter of the Lyman family,” Clara replied with a diverted look. Clara's hands clenched after saying that.

Keenan saw Clara from the front rearview mirror. “Clara, that's not what I care about,” said Keenan who made Clara look straight ahead. Precisely on the front rearview mirror of the car so that the two look at each other.
