Chapter 100: It's not safe outside.
Still standing at the window where she felt the gentle breeze of the night on her face, she smiled at Laurent's word and sniffed, wiping the droplet from below her eyes again.Laurent gently dropped his hands from her shoulder. “I don't know why you're crying but all I know is that it's not a nice idea for a beautiful lady like you to shed tears with those beautiful eyes. You need to let go of whatever hurts you because if you don't, it'll keep burning you till it leaves a deep scar on your heart." Laurent said.Clara's cheek flush red, her heart lighter than earlier as she gained emotional strength from Laurent's words.She sniffed and turned to him with a smiling face, her vision slightly blurry with tears though they had stopped falling from her eyes. They were standing a few inches away from each other.“Thanks.” She muttered, her voice cracking slightly.Laurent simply nodded with a smile and walked to the bed. “It's nothing.” “I'm sorry about that.” She said, making Laurent p
Chapter 99: Smart blind woman.
Clara was stunned by the question. She took a brief look at Laurent who didn't even look too concerned and unfazed about what was going on. She was trapped between two decisions- saying the truth which is- Laurent is not her boyfriend or confirming the illusion that they had been in a relationship for the past one and half year which Hannah would find hard to believe because she has an idea about her past relationship.“Is that true, Clara.” Hannah cut her thoughts off.Clara forced a smile and cleared her throat, the weight of the question pressing on her and giving her a feeling of uneasiness.Before she should talk. Laurent chipped in, breaking the tension that lumped in the air.He shifted on the sofa and gave a genuine smile. “I think I'm beginning to forget things.” Laurent began and lifted his eyes to Clara who also stared back at her, looking uneasy and hoping Laurent wasn't about to complicate things more. “Our love started three months ago but it feels like I have known yo
Chapter 98: Boyfriend.
The bungalow where Hannah, Clara's grandma lives is surrounded by flowers like a fence, leaving just a walkway path at the front. An ornamental tree with red flowers could be seen at a side. The calm evening wind swayed the branches gently and the red flowers on the tree dropped to the top of a red sienna car abandoned under it.A short stairs lead to the main door. Clara walked on it and knocked on the door while Laurent stood behind her, roaming his eyes about and observing the surroundings.No one responded from inside after the knock. They stood there for a fleeting moment. Laurent shifted his eyes to the door, looking impatient.“Don't you have a spare key th.." “Shhh!!" Clara cut him off with an amusing smile on face, her index fingers crossing her lips vertically.Laurent glanced at her and took a sharp breath, wondering what she was up to.Just then, the door of the room was opened, slowly revealing an old women standing at the door with a cane in her hand while a dark glass
Chapter 97: Unexpected encounter.
Abigail had a deep frown expressed on her face. Her facial expression shifted between detest and surprise. She wasn't expecting to see Laurent there and she wondered why he was there, standing right before her table as if he was actually meant to be there.Her face twisted, clearly expressing detest. “What are you doing here?!" Anger simmers just beneath her voice.Laurent didn't respond. He took a step backward and diverted his gaze to his phone, his heart brewing with confusion, wondering if he was at the wrong spot.He tapped on the screen and put a call across to the number again.His eyes shifted to Abigail's phone which buzzed on the table. He lowered the phone and exhaled deeply, his eyes lifting up. “You're Lana's Granddaughter?" Abigail scoffed and rolled her eyes, her attitude expressing disgust.“Yes and...” She paused looking at him from head to toe. “.. you're the kind man he talks so good about, huh?” She said, sarcasm laced in her voice.Laurent kept his phone and nod

Chapter 96: Whispers and wine.
Clara sniffed.Tears slipped from her eyes, rolling down on her cheek and tickling on the photograph. Staring at the photograph reminded her of a painful past she had tried to forget but the memories kept coming. She hugged the photograph to comfort herself yet the tears didn't stop rolling down from her eyes.The guy in the picture was her boyfriend who promised her marriage when he returned from a business trip but unfortunately, he had a gruesome car accident on his way which took his life.The news hit Clara like a bomb, tearing her heart apart. The shock of the news made her collapse and lost consciousness. She woke up in the hospital.The incident happened 2 years ago but she couldn't get over his death. It was fresh in her memory as if it happened just yesterday.Two years of not seeing the man she loves dearly.Two years of emptiness and pain but when she saw Laurent earlier, something stirred at the depth of her heart- a deep feeling she had buried long ago.The screeching
