My Handsome Uncle, Please Be Mine!

Part 31.

Clara walked slowly towards the library. She pushed the door handle. Joe was there, standing with a book in his hand. Clara had entered this room before, but it was the first time she observed it carefully. It turned out that the room was filled with books.

“Do you read all the books in here, Uncle?” Clara asked. She sat down while observing Joe from a distance. The man always looked handsome just by standing and breathing. Always and always, Clara was captivated and mesmerized.

“Of course, I’ve read them all!” Joe boasted.

“Are there any novels, Uncle?” Clara changed the subject. Joe was indeed intelligent, diligent, and kind. All the wealth he possessed surely came from a set of good habits. The foundation of his success. He was good at seizing opportunities, reading the market, and one more thing that no one else had. He was talented and handsome from birth.

“What kind of novel?” Joe asked. Novels were one of the least books he bought and read. He liked general knowledge and everything about business.

“Any kind, Uncle. My exams are over, and college registration is still about three weeks away. So, I’ll use the time to read books!” Clara replied.

“Aren’t you studying for college entrance exams?” Joe protested. He narrowed his eyes and noticed something different about Clara. The girl looked sweaty, even though the AC in the library was on and it was quite cold.

“I’m taking a break from studying, Uncle!” Clara replied. She held her chest, which was pounding. It was strange; usually, she would be nervous when she was very close to Joe. But this time they were more than three meters apart, and Clara’s heart was beating fast.

“Clara, are you not feeling well?” Joe inquired, closing the book he was reading and stepping closer to Clara.

“No, Uncle!”

“Why are you sweating?” the man asked again, wiping Clara’s sweaty forehead.

“I’m fine, Uncle! It just feels strange!” Clara said, shaking her head. Her face was heating up with suppressed desire.

“Did you get caught in the rain earlier?” Joe began to worry.

“No, Uncle!” Clara replied, feeling even hotter and her body feeling very strange.

“What did you eat? Did you eat too much satay?” Joe asked. He observed Clara opening her warm clothes as if holding something back.

“Uncle, I’ll go to my room first!” Clara excused herself. She felt completely out of control.

“Wait!” Joe grabbed Clara’s hand.

“Do I need to call Dr. Gaston?” Joe asked.

“No, Uncle!” Clara’s breath started to race as she felt an unusual desire she had never felt before.

“What’s wrong?” Joe asked again, carefully observing Clara.

“Kiss me!” Clara ordered, taking a step forward.

Joe narrowed his eyes. Clara wasn’t usually like this. The girl would be shy and close her eyes. But tonight, Clara herself asked for a kiss from him.

Joe couldn’t refuse. They looked at each other and began to unite their lips. Kissing each other.

“Clara!” Joe whispered, breaking the kiss.

Clara didn’t reply. She just stared at Joe provocatively.

The man began to struggle to control and manage his body. All of Clara’s actions made him react even more.

“Wait a minute, Clara, if you’re like this, I can’t restrain myself! Especially waiting until you graduate from college!” Joe whispered, trying to control himself. Clara’s black hair flowing, her beautiful skin, red lips, and teasing movements.

“Kiss me, Uncle!” she ordered again.

But this time, Joe refused. He was afraid of losing control himself.

“No, Clara, I’ll take you to your room and call Dr. Gaston!” Joe grabbed Clara’s hand and led her out.

“I don’t need Dr. Gaston, I need Uncle Joe!” Clara whispered and tried to reach for the man’s lips again.

Slowly, Joe refused. He guided Clara out of the library.

“Mama, don’t go anymore!” Kimmy pleaded. Although sometimes she didn’t like Vivian, in her deepest heart, Kimmy missed her mom very much.

“Mama won’t go, sweetheart,” Vivian replied, reaching out to hug her little one.

“Can’t Mama and Papa be like they used to?” Kimmy asked.

“They can, as long as Kimmy talks to Papa!” the woman persuaded. Kimmy was the only reason that could make her and Joe get back together.

“Talk to Papa? About what, Mama?” Kimmy looked up to see her mom’s face.

“Enough, Kimmy, it’s time to sleep now!” Vivian coaxed, remembering her plan with Joe tonight.

Kimmy obeyed, closing her eyes, trying to sleep.

And… slowly, the little girl fell asleep. Vivian looked at her daughter’s face. There was a sense of regret because of her selfish behavior in the past. Kimmy must miss her very much. The woman wiped her face roughly. She rose from her bed slowly.

She tidied her hair and walked towards the door.

The door opened. Vivian stepped towards the living room. She approached the glass on the tray, which was now empty.

“Has Joe drunk it?” Vivian muttered. She glanced around the room.

After a moment of thought, she decided to walk to Joe’s room.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Vivian knocked on the door.

“Joe!” she called softly.

Creak!

The door opened because it wasn’t locked.

Vivian felt relieved. It wasn’t hard to access Joe’s room. She entered and decided to wait for her ex-husband in their room first.

The woman turned on the main light, looking around the room. Not much had changed, except for their wedding photo that was no longer there. Vivian continued to walk. There was something strange on the sofa. Yes, the sofa where Joe had kissed Clara some time ago.

“Hair clip!” Vivian whispered, examining the hair clip. It wasn’t hers because she never owned one. It wasn’t Kimmy’s either.

“Whose is this?” she added, full of questions.

Vivian’s chest felt tight. She was sure the hair clip belonged to Clara.

“You little flirt!” she muttered.

Vivian threw herself roughly onto the bed.

“Have you really forgotten about me? You said you couldn’t live without me! Look, Joe, you lied. Not even three months after our divorce, you bring a woman into your room!” she complained angrily.

Vivian then got up. She left Joe’s room just as she saw her ex-husband and Clara leaving the library hand in hand.

“So, is Clara the woman you’re seeing?” Vivian asked. She folded her hands in front of her chest as she walked towards them.

“Mind your own business! Stay out of this!” Joe replied. While Clara, who stood beside him, felt increasingly powerless. Yes, Clara felt her body temperature rising with her heart pounding.

Vivian’s gaze shifted to the empty glass. “Who drank this?” she asked, probing.

“I did, Aunt!” Clara admitted.

“What?” Vivian’s eyebrows lifted with an angry look.

“Just so you know, I added medicine to that drink!” Vivian explained. “Clara, you’re quite talented at seducing my ex-husband, and that medicine seems to make…” Vivian stopped her sentence, looking at Clara disdainfully.

“Stop it, Vivian!” Joe snapped.

“What?!” Vivian challenged. “I’m not afraid. I’ll tell everything to Mama!” she threatened with satisfaction.

“Just say it! I’ll make sure nothing happens to my relationship with Clara!” Joe replied fearlessly. “By you revealing everything to Mama, it means you’ve helped me, and I don’t need to wait until Clara graduates from college to make her my wife!” Joe added.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

The man returned the gaze of his ex-wife. He knew Vivian had mixed a certain drug into the drinking water Clara consumed.

Joe led Clara into his room and left Vivian behind.

“Watch out, both of you!” Vivian muttered angrily as she walked towards Kimmy’s room.

==❤==

“Clara!” Joe called out, observing Clara’s flushed face.

“Yes, Uncle!” Clara replied, turning to the source of the voice. Clara deliberately turned her back to Joe. She restrained herself from the raging desire. She really wanted to kiss Uncle, who was still in her room.

“Do you know what medicine you took earlier?” Joe asked.

“I don’t know, Uncle!” Clara answered.

“That’s a medicine you shouldn’t have taken. Do you want me to stay with you? Or leave? Or should I call Dr. Gaston?” Joe offered.

“I’m embarrassed if Dr. Gaston comes here, Uncle!” Clara whispered, bowing her head. “How long will the medicine stop working, Uncle?” Clara asked. Keeping her gaze away from Uncle.

“I’ll ask Dr. Gaston in a moment?!” Joe reached for his phone.

“Don’t!” Clara stopped him. “Don’t call Dr. Gaston. I… I… Kiss me! Uncle!” Clara turned around and kissed Joe enthusiastically. She continued to feel more and more eager.

Clara and Joe both loosened their embrace.

“Clara, I have to leave your room! Honestly, I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself anymore!” Joe confessed. The constant temptation of receiving kisses from Clara was overwhelming for him.

Clara swallowed hard.

“But Uncle won’t meet Aunt Vivian, right?” Clara asked. The message from Joe’s ex-wife about someone in bed made her uneasy and made her keep Joe close.

“No! Why should I? I’m not interested in that woman anymore!” Joe replied.

“Okay, Uncle can leave my room, but promise me Uncle won’t meet Aunt Vivian!” Clara requested.

“Yes, I promise!” Joe replied, breathing heavily.

Joe stood up.

“Uncle!” Clara whispered.

“Yes?”

“Kiss me once more!” she requested.

Joe leaned down and kissed Clara long and deep.

“Tonight you’ve embarrassed yourself, Clara. You also have to promise not to do this with another man!” Joe requested.

He then left Clara’s room.

The door closed again.

Joe breathed a sigh of relief. He gently pounded his chest. Seeing Clara so wild, dominant, and affectionate really made his heart race.

“Could this be what Clara feels when she’s close to me!” Joe muttered as he walked to his room. He needed to relax from Clara’s antics that felt suffocating.

He smiled, although Clara’s foolishness made him very happy tonight.
