Cherry Traps

“Means?” clara asked with a confused look.

“You know what I mean, Clara,” Keenan replied

Clara gave a rough breath. “Lyman's wood is my real father, but Jina is not my real mother. My birth mother is dead,” Clara replied with a sad look.

“Clara.…”

Turns out he avoided closer relationships because of his family identity issues, huh? Really, I didn't expect to hear this from him. Much I don't know about my own wife ~ Inner Keenan

“Emm, thank you once again for today. I still have business with my friend. I can't keep you company,” Clara said as she turned her body to get out of the car.

“Clara!” call Keenan who makes Clara's steps stop. He turned his body looking towards Keenan who was standing before him.

“What's up?” ask Clara

“No matter who you are in the Lyman family, you are still the young mistress of Gibson,” explained Keenan with a serious look.

Clara smelled a smile. “Daddy!” reply Clara

“I go first. Take good care of yourself. Contact me if anything happens,” timpal Keenan

Clara nodded her head slowly. “Daddy!"

Keenan walks back into his car and starts leaving Clara. After Keenan left, Clara sighed softly. This time the problem can be solved well. He was quite grateful because Keenan had come to save him.

“Basic witch woman! Could-be he came and blamed me about what happened,” furious Clara who was quite upset when remembering the incident earlier.

As he was about to call Yanti's number to inform her of her condition, suddenly his phone rang. He saw an unknown number there. Clara was initially silent before finally answering the phone call.

Clara let the man speak first.

[“Clara, I want to see you now!”]

Clara scrunched her forehead hearing the sharp tone of the person. “You who is yah?” ask Clara

There was a sound of rough breathing from there.

[“Basic well! You have met me often. I'm Cherry Jovanka Calum. You know that already, right? Now meet me at Happiness Cafe. There's something I want to tell you about Keenan,” Cherry explained]

The call was immediately switched off by Cherry after saying so. Clara put on a thinking face.

“It looks like today will not be able to calm down again. I'm sure the woman had bad intentions by inviting me to meet,” muttered Clara

Clara immediately stopped a passing taxi.

“Where is Mba?”

“Happiness Cafe well, Sir!” answer Clara

“Good!”

The taxi started to walk. During the trip, Clara looked only at the windshield. He sends a message to Yanti to say if she is okay.

About twenty minutes, finally the taxi that carried him had arrived in front of the Happiness Cafe. After paying his taxi fee, he got out of the taxi and walked into the cafe. He looked around looking for Cherry.

“What customer named Miss Cherry is here?” clara asked one of the servants.

“Oh, are you Miss Clara?” askalanya.

Clara nodded her head. “Daddy, it's me. Where is he yah?” ask Clara back.

“Let me inter, Nona”

Clara followed the waiter's steps. They climb the stairs leading to the rooftop area which is designed for customers as well. When he was upstairs, he saw Cherry sitting at a table near the rooftop barrier. Soon he approached the woman.

“Nona Cherry?” call Clara

Clara sat down in front of Cherry, who was looking haughtily at her.

“Nona Cherry, what do you want to say about my husband?” clara asked as she folded her hands on her chest.

“The Young Lady Gibson is indeed to the point well. I just wanted to say leave Keenan. Away from him. This card will be yours,” explained Cherry while thrusting a gold card on Clara.

Clara took the card and smiled obliquely. “Hehe, in Miss Cherry's card how much is it? Tens of millions or perhaps hundreds of millions? Can you use that little brain of yours? The price of a Young Madame Gibson is not only that much to know. Is it possible that I left Mas Keenan just for this little money?” clara asked with sarcasm.

Cherry is grating slowly. “It turns out you married her just for money?! I can't believe you're so materialistic! You really don't fit in with Keenan. Keenan is a grown man, and you are a child. Worth the thought only for luxury alone,” hina Cherry with satire.

Clara laughed sarcastically. He got up from his seat and turned his face to Cherry.

“If Mas Keenan has no money, do you still dare say the person you like is Keenan Gibson?” ask Clara who turned insinuating.

Cherry was riveted by what Clara said. He could say nothing. Seeing that made Clara smile.

“Originally you know, Miss Cherry. I don't care how much money he spends on you. But you don't get too greedy dong. Know your own limits,” Clara said

After saying that, Clara picked up her bag and passed from the front of Cherry. However, quickly his hand was held back by Cherry to leave.

“Clara, stop! If you leave, you will truly regret!” look at Cherry with a look of annoyance.

“Nona Cherry! Don't look for trouble! I don't want to argue more with you!” protest Clara who tried to take Cherry's hand off her.

However, suddenly Cherry slipped so far from him that almost the woman fell down the cafe building.

“Awas!” clara shouted that managed to prevent Cherry from falling.

Unexpectedly, there were suddenly many reporters surrounding him.

“Nona Lyman, why would you push Miss Calum to fall from here?”

“Really! What kind of revenge are you two? Until you can get that done to her?”

Clara looked in surprise at the reporters.

Why did so many journalists suddenly appear? Did this Cherry deliberately plan all this? ~ Inner Clara

“A-I also don't know what offended him. He pushed me down. Thankfully, God still wants me to live longer. Or not, I don't know what will happen to me,” said Cherry who has started acting sadly.

Really, Clara was eager to slap Cherry's pretended face. But, his common sense is still running at the moment.

“Shut up! Isn't it important now to take her to the hospital first?” clara's protest was already quite upset as it continued to be urged by many questions from reporters.

“Are you angry at being embarrassed?”

“Now are you thinking of taking people to the hospital? Don't you feel it's too late?”

Clara is getting cornered at the moment with those questions. Especially at this time all the cafe visitors were staring at him. Many of them were seen sneering towards him. Like believing what they see.

While behind the crowd, there were several people in suits just coming out of a room.

“Why is there so crowded?”

“Young Master Gibson doesn't need to take care of things like that. The bias sometimes makes a commotion or fuss”

The man in the blue donker suit who turned out to be Keenan just kept staring at the crowd until his eyes widened to see the figure of the wife who was in the middle of the crowd. He quickly stepped into the crowd. Making his business colleagues look surprised at him.

“Young Master Gibson!”

Keenan was getting closer to the crowd. He pushes everyone who stands in his way. He was right behind Clara. The closer he got to Clara, the more he could see that she was terrified by the bullying of the reporters.

With one move he pulled Clara's hand to make Clara's body face him. Clara gave a surprised look when she saw the figure of the husband in front of her at this time. Keenan immediately hugged Clara's body tightly. It left Clara completely stunned by what her wife was doing.

“I have arrived. It's okay dad. No one will dare bother you anymore,” whispered Keenan right in Clara's ear.
